Sampaguita Ice Cream - Review - Mills 50 - Orlando - The Infatuation

"There’s a perpetual crowd at this Filipino ice cream spot—an intergenerational mix of toddlers, college kids, and adults trying not to get overstimulated by it all. It’s easy to understand why. This ice cream is great, and the flavors are unique. The best stuff in the display freezer leans Filipino. You can get scoops of ube latte, buko pandan, and a sampaguita ice cream with almond, vanilla, and jasmine. They also have soft serve, which they put to use in a halo-halo layered with too many ingredients to name here." - Ryan Pfeffer

Creamy ice cold sweetness is the only antidote for these blistering hot days. I don't know how anyone could survive otherwise... Plus, just look at the decor; it makes you feel like you've slipped away on an island getaway - each table ensures privacy with decorative tropical greens. How lovely! I recommend the Halo Halo - it was a new flavor for me. Maybe it can be for you, too? So escape the heat & try some new flavors! Just don't drink from the straw... it's not really a straw - it's a cookie that looks like a straw...

Born and raised in the Philippines, I gotta say Sampaguita gives justice to a wide variety of Filipino flavors. My GF and I loved their ube ice cream so much, we got it three visits in a row (both ube + cookies n' cream & ube + latte). The ube is just that good - creamy, light, yet flavorful. Workers are also kind and will let you sample flavors you're interested in :) They also sell other goodies like cookies, macarons, and stickers. Atmosphere is relaxing and there is a good amount of seating. Looking forward coming back here again and gonna bring my mom <3

Went in through the back, line was backed against the front door when I got there. The server said this is slow for them. It was beautiful and cute inside, loved the menu setup, and they did have more than one person assigned to the counter. I only had two cookies to go, wish I had tried to the ice cream. But the cookies were okay, fancy instagramable names for the cookies, but tasted average, a bit bland, very pretty.

This was a first for us. This is a Philippine Ice Cream shop. I was not familiar with most of the flavors. The staff will gladly let you sample any flavor you request. The waffle cones taste fresh. The butterscotch soy is a very popular flavor. Don’t judge it until you try it. The staff is super efficient, while being friendly, outgoing, and helpful. Every time we come, there is a crowd. We have never had to wait more than a few minutes.i have tried a different flavor each time, and have never been disappointed. This is a fantastic way to end a day out.

Great place for ice cream or desert. It’s usually crowded specially during weekends. I love the service and how the kids try their best to get your stuff out quick. There is only in-door seating. the parking lot it’s in the back. It’s always worth the wait. Recommended.

Yummy ice cream! I love coming here to try a different flavor! Although it is a bit pricey, I feel like it is worth it since they have such unique flavors. This inside is super comfy and cute as well. I got the halo halo once and I don’t think I would get it again since it was kind of small and expensive.

This was SO DELICIOUS! I'm so happy we were able to make time for this Filipino dessert shop. I ordered a sampaguita ice cream scoop and a birthday cake mamon scoop. That was a great combo and really blended nicely. The inside is SO PRETTY! I love how they designed. I saw they also sold cookies and cakes! I highly recommend!

Taste: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Sampaguita offers delicious ice cream with lots of unique fun flavors. From Soysauce Butterscotch to Keso Guava Cheesecake, you're going to have a bunch of interesting sounding options and everything tastes great. Staff were very friendly and offered to let us try multiple flavors before we figured out what our best dessert match was. Be warned, this place can get busy so you may have trouble finding seating if you go during their busy times.

I know sampaguita is known for their soft serve and ice cream but they also have baked goods as well. My favorite cookie is the adobo chocolate chip. I know it sounds weird but imagine a chocolate chip cookie with salt on top but instead it's adobo seasoning that's Filipino. It's super delicious! The cookie is moist and a perfect balance of sweet and salty which I appreciate. I give that cookie a 8/10. I tried their new ube dubai cookie and I was a bit disappointed. It didn't really taste like much and the filling was hard and not crispy the way I expected. The ube flavor was not in the room but it was a pretty purple color. I would not get that cookie again. I give it a 4/10. All in all, this place is always packed and the staff is super friendly! It's a cute little treat after dinner and I love that they open late. I recommend you try this place at least once.

Pros: *super cute, trendy interior design--very instagramable *unique Icecream flavor options *great quality, flavorful Icecream *friendly, knowledgeable staff *QR code posted for flavor descriptions *samples! Cons: *located in a strip with not a lot of parking options *very busy--which makes the parking situation harder *you get a stand with a number for someone to bring your Icecream to you at your seat, but there's not enough seating for the amount of people there when it's busy

I had tasted their ube ice cream during a Yelp event but finally visited today. For it being a Tuesday evening the location was packed. I went simple with a single scoop of ube latte with ube sprinkles ($6.5) but the sprinkles felt a bit on the skimpy side. Flavorful and tasty, it was nice to enjoy something sweet after dinner out. The parking area was very packed since it connects several restaurants in the area so expect to circle around for a spot.

I beg of you to please open a location in Arizona because this was absolutely incredible! A pinoy-inspired menu is always the best and if it's DESSERTS, I'm on board! The interior of this place was absolutely gorgeous, with a beautiful Sampaguita sign on the outside and inside! They have various flavors for the ice cream, cakes, and cookies. I ordered a double scoop of the birthday mamon cake (a traditional pinoy sponge cake) and the sampaguita (a nice almond base). That was the perfect combo! My niece let me try their halo-halo, which was a 10/10! The service was absolutely great, too, as they offered us waters while we were munching down. I did have their adobo chocolate chip cookie and we were all trying to pin-point the adobo flavor. I just need to come back again and try it (lol) I highly recommend!

SOY SAUCE BUTTERSCOTCH... O MY GAWSH!!! We came just to give some business to Filipino vendors in Orlando while we were here. Wasn't expecting anything much, maybe just some Magnolia type quality ice cream (Filipino Brand Ice Cream) to cool us down from the Orlando heat. Yelp directions are spot on. There is street parking in front, and strip mall parking in back, all free. Walking in, you are engulfed in a delightful smell of freshly made waffle cones in the air as you enter the premises... gives off a welcome home, warm hug kinda vibe ;) The staff is super friendly and take advantage of their offer to sample 4 flavors because the HOMEMADE stuff here is so deliciously worth it!!! Alrighty... let's eat! BANANA CUE: Flavor choices - SOY SAUCE BUTTERSCOTCH... BOMB DIGGITY!!! BUKO PANDAN... SPOT ON!! UBE COOKIES & CREAM... True Flavor, so not a similar overwhelming flavor burst as the others, but still tasty. Banana is sliced length wise like a traditional Split and fresh, not cooked and caramelized as a traditional Cue would be. But that's COMPLETELY okay with me as this version accentuates the ice cream flavors better. I got mine hyped up with Ube Whipped Cream and nuts. Then fudge on the side so my ice cream wouldn't melt so fast, and it does start to melt rather quickly. For this version of the classic Banana Split, although not gonna wow you on size, their ice cream is the star and the flavor blows you away! I savored every bite! UBE BROWNIE: SOY SAUCE BUTTERSCOTCH here too! My munchkin gave me the stank face when I told him the flavor I wanted to try. I practically forced him to eat the offered sample, but then TRUE amazement hit his face when the taste buds bathed in this flavor. OMG...WOWZA! He proceeds to go 180 and gets the Ube Brownie (warmed) WITH Soy Sauce Butterscotch! Loved every spoonful! Next time will get a double scoop with the brownie ;) TRIPLE SCOOP: SAMPAGUITA... DELIGHTFUL!!! (Son actually got that for me lol) BIRTHDAY CAKE MAMON... Son loves sprinkles so this was his jam. UBE COOKIES N CREAM... Cookies & Cream is his Go To flavor and he loved the Filipino twist to it! DOUBLE SCOOP: SOY SAUCE BUTTERSCOTCH with CHAMPORADO. Son really enjoyed these flavors. The champorado here is reminiscent of my childhood days when we had warm champorado for breakfast. The rice bits and creamy milk chocolate flavor hits the heritage spot in me perfectly. UBE LATTE with KESO GUAVA CHZCAKE was Wifey's choice and she was quite pleased with her selections. Ube & coffee worked tastefully well together. She loved the guava presence but had hoped there would be more queso bits in her scoop. VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION!! Nom Nom Level... Sky High! I enjoyed the experience so much I took pints of SAMPAGUITA and SOY SAUCE BUTTERSCOTCH back to our hotel for an evening snack (or morning pick me up) the rest of our stay in Orlando! Sobrang sarap dito! (Tagalog for So delicious here! ) Enjoy!

I absolutely love this place! The desserts aren't too sweet and their ice cream hits the spot on those hot summer days. My favorite is the Mais con Yelo, and for the price, they give you so much!

Their Ice Cream flavors are unique, rich, and fairly priced! I have enjoyed nearly all their flavors with their unique "Ice Cream Flights." Highly recommended! Their atmosphere also offers a rather spacious seating and updated ambiance that is perfect for a date night or to bring the family! Service is quick and efficient with very minimal wait times regardless of their high volume traffic business.

Visually, the space is bright and beautifully decorated. They were busy, but still very attentive and let me sample a few flavors. I ended up getting the Halo halo and it was so good! I had it with the ube soft serve and I'd order it again for sure.

The staff is nice and quick. They knew their menu and the wait was not long at all. The decor was pretty and definitely worth the photo prop. The entry and back door helped us get in and out with ease. The soft serve was yummy and worth it. The brownie on the other had was a bit weird. It had chunks of salt on the top of it. I would recommend that as an option because I felt it ruined the brownie completely. We couldn't even eat it so just thew it away. The appearance was cute though. I love their ube the most.

About 3.5 stars for our experience. I like the friendly atmosphere of the service staff. The place is not big but it has good selection of the ice cream. I have my wife to choose an item we can share. She pick ube banana cream float from the special menu. The cup has ube ice cream and cream. The taste is there but the there is 30% ice cube in it. For price we paid, we might as well take the three scoop ice cream about the same price instead of item with ice cube in it.

I know I've reviewed this place before, but it deserves the hype--it truly never misses. It's quickly become one of our go-to date night spots. I keep coming back for the Halo Halo (seriously, it's that good), but I end up lingering for the charming decor. Even when it's busy, it never feels overcrowded. There's just something about the atmosphere--cozy, inviting, and thoughtfully designed--that makes you want to stay for hours. If you haven't been yet, go. It's absolutely worth the visit.

It's a really cute place, the best option for us since we wanted to try most of the flavors they have, ended up ordering their personal ice cream flight. Loved the decor of the place, with the pink, green and gold giving the best calming vibes. The staff was very friendly and helpful when trying to make the decision with what flavors to pick!

Overall great experience! My husband and I came straight after dinner around 7 pm on a Friday night and we were immediately able to order. A big wave of people followed after around 7:10 pm, but they seemed to work through the line quickly. It was our first time here, so we ordered a personal mini flight just to try a lot of flavors. They recommend not sharing the flight and I think they're right it is a small amount for two people. We paid $11.72 for 5 mini cones. The prices didn't seem too high and it's definitely worth the atmosphere and unique flavors available. A server walked around with a tray of free water for anyone to take which was a nice touch! We tried Ube Cheescake, Soy Sauce Butterscotch, Sampaguita, Banoffee Pie, and Buko Pandan (vegan). Our favorite flavors were Sampaguita and Soy Sauce Butterscotch!! We will definitely come back and try more flavors!!!

This is a Filipino establishment that serves ince cream. We went on a Saturday and there is always a line. We tried to wait for the line to shorten but it was always busy. They let you try a sample of any of the ice cream. They even have an option for vegan. The place small and quaint. It is a cozy place to hang

I'm loving the variety of flavors that Sampaguita offered and we sampled a bunch of them before settling on the Ube soft serve and the Buko Pandan. I wish I could give the 5 stars, but could not due to the actual samples that we tried. For example, the Soy Sauce Butterscotch (which peaked my interest) had much more of a butterscotch taste that overpowered the soy sauce flavor. Also, not loving the pairing of the two together, but it wasn't bad at all. The Guava Keso Cheesecake tasted very cheesy and very good, but the guava taste had maybe just a hint of guava, if any. And finally, the soft serve Ube tasted good, but could've been a little bit better with a stronger Ube flavor. Overall, the Buko Pandan was the real winner tonight. Would come back for this and maybe a couple of other flavors.

Interesting flavors, friendly staff, cute decor - what more do you need from an ice cream shop? Prices are on the higher end but I'd consider this more luxury ice cream. Banoffee pie ice cream is good, I wish there were more inclusions. Soy butterscotch was also good, think salty butterscotch. Parking in the rear and a door to access from there.

We live in Vegas and we visit family often in central Florida. We stop by to get our gourmet ice cream at Sampaguita. Really great with assorted flavors. There is always a line when we go. But this Christmas, I hinted to my sister that they have Ube and Macapuno Swiss Roll. She was able to order it. Lucky us. It's so delicious. All the flavors as described on the their IG post were there. Love that it's not super sweet. Hope they continue with the bakery portion. Move over Red Ribbons!!!

What a cute ice cream shop and popular to say the least! The halo halo brings back memories of my childhood and I love how it is made with ube ice cream. I love anything ube! The inside of the shop is clean with bright colors, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Parking can be a little challenging since the lot is shared with other businesses. I will definitely be back!

Delicious Filipino dessert place! It's mostly an ice cream shop but there are other desserts like cookies and brownies! The ube brownie is a must try! Had that with the pandan ice cream and it was heavenly. They have lots of unique flavors to try- one was a soy sauce flavor! This is a small and cozy place and is usually very busy. The service is pretty quick.

The staff were very friendly. I ordered the Halo Halo and they asked if I wanted a non- dairy. I asked for the original version. I was not disappointed. I had not had a Halo Halo for 8 years and my last visit to Manila. I was taken right back. Very good. A bit messy but that is part of the fun. Also had two scoops of ice cream in our group. "Dad it was really good" was the reaction. Well worth it. Protip - park in the rear. But it can be tight.

A truly amazing ice cream shop. The staff was very nice and very patient as they have so many unique flavors you won't find elsewhere due to the Filipino influence. All the flavors were delicious and the Halo Halo was something I have never had anywhere else and tasted great . I'm so happy I drove to try it!

So ecstatic I finally got to try this Filipino ice cream spot on my last visit to Orlando! Sampaguita, your reputation precedes you. It isn't often you get Filipino flavors in an ice cream dessert other than ube ice cream from an oriental market but Sampaguita sure does deliver & is a must-try when visiting the Orlando area. They are located in Mills 50 and they are as iconic as this area is for all things Asian cuisine. The space is beautiful, bright, and modern. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and we all had such a hard time choosing from all the amazing options that were available. Of course, I had to try the Sampaguita ice cream while there & I still dream about this ice cream. I can't wait until I'm back in the area to satiate my craving! Visit Sampaguita when you visit Orlando, you won't regret it!

LOCAL REVIEW: The Mills area of Orlando has so many food options to explore. I finally made a visit to Sampaguita and I will definitely return! The ice cream is creamy and flavorful and I really appreciated that the staff were so accommodating to people taste testing the different flavors. The location is easy to find, but be prepared to look for street parking. We opted to have dinner nearby at Lazy Moon which has a parking lot, and then walked over to Sampaguita. We visited on a Saturday night and the Mills area was thriving with all kinds of people walking around. The aesthetic of the shop is tropical and gorgeous. It looks small at first but I think they have maximized on the space with tables lining the wall to the back entrance. The shop was bustling when we visited, but the line moved quickly. The servers were kind and happy to everyone! There are a lot of unique Filipino dessert options and unique ice cream flavors! My sister and I enjoyed a dipped cone with two scoops: Ube Cheesecake and Bananoffee Pie. We also added ube sprinkles and ube whipped cream. I will admit that the two ice cream flavors did not complement each other, but they were individually delicious. Next time, we think the Sampaguita ice cream would pair better with Ube Cheesecake. The other lesson we learned was that the chocolate of the dipped cone is very fudgey in flavor which also was overpowering to both of us. We will opt for the regular waffle cone next time. The Ube Sprinkles were very crunchy. The Ube Whipped Cream was absolutely delicious, it tasted fresh and light. We have a theory that they keep their ice cream extra cold somehow, because while we are indoors, it did not melt as fast as other places! They also sell their ice cream pints as well ($11.72 as of May 31, 2025). I have to also give kudos to their customer service. A few people went up for water cups, and after that they decided to have an employee walk around with a tray of water offering it to everyone at the tables. I thought it was really nice and convenient. Can't wait to return to try some of the other options! My only wish is that I hope they will one day offer some deals on their pints of ice cream.

As someone who is Filipina and lactose sensitive, this place is perfect. I had the Lunar New Year Sundae (I can't remember the exact name) a limited item. It was very good. If you do visit while it's still there I highly recommend it. It has vanilla soft serve with strawberry lychee compote and cake. I also tasted a few of their other ice cream flavors which were also amazing! The service was pretty quick considering how busy it was and the staff were nice. The place is small but the ambiance is nice. The place is very aesthetic and every corner is picture worthy.

I love this ice cream shop and their Filipino forward flavors. I was skeptical about the Soy Sauce Butterscotch flavor but it works! They have mini ice cream flights and other fun treats. There are lots of Ube flavored treats and upgrades. I got the Ube Cheesecake and an Ube Brownie. We came on a Friday around 7/8pm and there was a constant line immediately after we came in. The decor is super cute and it extends into the bathroom. They made great use of this space. I love the lighting fixtures, the booths, and it's a VIBE. Heads up, yes, a set of twins work here so don't make it weird like I did.

Filipino flavours and ice cream?! Say no more. As a Filipino person, my heart jumped to see these flavours of my childhood represented in my fave form of dessert. FOOD: I had the so sauce butterscotch. Hands down one of my favourite ice creams I've ever eaten. I am butterscotch fan, and the umami and saltiness form the soy sauce was so subtle but so freaking yummy. My husband has the buko pandan and if I wasn't already full from lunch I would have ordered a scoop of that too. SERVICE: Polite young woman who let us try samples freely. No complaints on service! Greeted us and told us about the flavours when we had questions. AMBIANCE: Such a gorgeous little ice cream shoppe with cute signs and colours and I just love the vibe. There are plants and plenty of seating. OVERALL: If we ever go back to Orlando I HAVE to stop by again to sample more flavours. If you're looking for unique and delicious ice cream then look no further.

Halo halo is my fave, but it's too much to make at home just for myself. The halo halo here is great. I heard a couple say it was just okay, but when I took a peek, I saw that they were eating it in layers. So, there are probably more people that don't know that you're supposed to mix it all up. The delicious offerings has this place poppin' at all hours. Filipino guilt compelled me to eat quickly so that I could offer my table to the titas/titos waiting for their orders, but when I looked up, they were already walking out of the back door with their treats! Suffice it to say that service here is quick and excellent. Taste the ice creams you're having a hard time choosing between before making your order. They're very nice about it. I think the only unfortunate aspect of this establishment is that there's no family seating. It's only 2- tops. There's an area of 2-tops with bench seating, and that's where I saw families sitting together. On top of that, the establishment is rail car style with tables and seating against the walls, so I recommend standard wheelchairs and single strollers at most. I do recommend this establishment, but I wish that people who are done eating their treats would vacate the tables instead of sitting to catch up.

This place is really a dream for both dairy and vegan dessert lovers! When you walk in, the strong smell of cold, sweet sugar fills the air, and it immediately makes you excited for what's to come. The decor is modern retro tropical with lots of places to sit around the corner. That being said, it was almost impossible to find a place to sit on a Friday night. That's how popular Sampaguita is. There are so many flavors to choose from, both with dairy and without, and it's a bit hard to decide. Luckily, you can taste four before you pick. The flavors are for anyone, from simple classics to more unique combinations. Personally, I really enjoy the Asian-inspired flavors, which are always so interesting and delicious. My personal favorite of all time is the Buka Pandan, because of its level of sweetness, texture and its underlying coconut flavor. The soy sauce butterscotch is my second favorite, sooooo creamy!

Came by on a Friday evening right before it got packed so we were able to secure seats at a table. I was pleasantly shocked when I walked in- from the parking lot, the place looks semi dingey... but the space itself is a transformed oasis with tons of greenery, pretty tiles and cool rattan seating. The ice cream itself is super creamy with fun flavors. I got the sampaguita and loved the lychee bits. Was definitely difficult to pick just one flavor. It was on the pricier side but not unexpected given the quality. Love that it's a local spot. Will be back!

Sampaguita isn't just an ice cream shop--it's a full-blown flavor adventure wrapped in whimsy and good vibes. A love letter to Southeast Asia in frozen form. The Flavors Let's start with the stars of the show: the flavors. Ube, pandan, keso, sampaguita, mango, champorado... it's a lineup that reads like a greatest hits album of Filipino and Southeast Asian treats. Some are bold soloists, others are paired with more familiar notes--like the soy sauce butterscotch, which might sound like a dare but tastes like pure genius. The umami from the soy meets the deep sweetness of caramel, and suddenly you're having a moment. The Vibe Even at 10:30 pm, the place was buzzing. The decor is playfully elegant, a perfect match for the imaginative menu. It's casual but charming, with just enough flair to feel like you've stepped into somewhere special. The Service The staff are absolute gems--patient, friendly, and more than happy to guide you through flavors before committing. Overall Sampaguita is a little scoop of magic, delivering something joyful and unexpected. My only complaint? I wish it were closer to home. Until then, I'll just keep dreaming of soy sauce butterscotch like a weirdo.

I love that the Filipino food scene is growing! The interiors for this adorable ice cream parlor are so bright and cute! But it can be a bit tough to sit with a group larger than 4, especially on busy nights, it can get a bit cramped with the tight space. Their prices are a bit on the higher end, but that's to be expected with specialty handmade ice cream. Despite that, I've been coming here whenever I can, and bringing anyone that I can! Their flavors are reminiscent of the sweet treats that I grew up on and I love that they can be enjoyed in ice cream form. My fav from the scooped ice cream is the Milo Rocky Road, but I definitely also recommend the Sampaguita flavor. Ube Latte is also a fan fav. Idk, they're all my faves! Their Halo Halo is pretty solid. It's awesome that they have the ice cream flight as an option for when I can't pick a flavor but also when I want to share with friends. If possible, try coming during the weekday to avoid the crowds. There is a parking lot behind the building, as well as an entrance at the back if you don't want to deal with street parking. An Orlando staple for sure!

DELICIOUS IN EVERY WAY! The ice cream down to the toppings and cones are ELITE! I try something new every time I go there and I am never let down. It's consistently good and the service is so great. Everyone is very friendly. The Filipino flavors brings me back to when I was growing up. The decor is so aesthetic and it's so picturesque.

This place is amazing . The ice cream flavors are so unique and interesting. I loved the sampler with all the flavors. The matcha cookie was delicious. It's decorated very cutely and is quite busy.

Tried Sampaguita Ice Cream with the family around the downtown Orlando area. This establishment was definitely busy and a little tight at tine but service was quick. We tried the Ube latte, the soysauce butterscotch and the Keso Guava Cheesecake. Overall all flavors were good but the soysauce butterscotch was absolutely amazing! Hands down my favorite flavor in the line up of flavors. Besides the occasional tight surroundings it was definitely a great treat!

This place always seems to be busy! And that should tell you how awesome it is. We were craving that "little something sweet" on Valentine's Day night and found ourselves here. We split a single soy sauce butterscotch in a cake cone. It was perfect. The flavor of the soy sauce butterscotch is so.... I don't know how to describe it but delicious. It compliments so well. Though there is seating; every table and chair was occupied. That's okay; we took our treat and walked outside. I can't wait to try all the other yummy flavors and sweets!

The flavors at Sampaguita are so delicious!! There's something for everyone. My fiancée and I went for ice cream tonight (Monday) and we loved everything we ordered! The service was lovely and they helped navigate the options and the interior is extremely well done. My Order: Cup with Birthday Mamon and Choco Peanut We also tried Soy Sauce Butterscotch (getting next time!) Ube soft serve and got my pup a pup cup!

We came on an early Saturday afternoon. Got soft. Serve Ube with the pineapple caramel a peach, orange puff, a scoop of coffee and a Oreo milkshake. They have dairy and nondairy options. The service was quick and friendly. They were quite busy not many places to sit very nicely decorated

Stopped by after learning they collaborate with Kaya just around the corner. Love supporting local Asian-owned businesses~~~ Absolutely packed on a Friday evening. Expect a bit of a crowd. Sampaguita is clearly a local favorite. And for good reason-- their unique flavors, generous scoops, and cozy vibes capture the essence of Filipino comfort food. PANDAN ICE CREAM: Has that signature pandan aroma. Not too sweet, just lightly herbal and natural nutty flavor :-) Alongside their ice cream offerings, they serve milkshakes, baked goods, and halo halo. Need to come back and try it all...
