    Espresso chunk chocolate and vanilla in a cup, butter pecan in a waffle cone.
    Nita T.

    This is hands-down the best ice cream we discovered on our vacation! We loved it so much we visited multiple times. The texture is incredibly rich and creamy, and the friendly staff made it even better by letting us sample flavors before choosing. Our absolute favorites were the peanut butter fudge, espresso chocolate chunk, cherry vanilla, classic vanilla, and butter pecan. Every single one is delicious! It is a must-visit!

    The best ice cream spot on the entire beach! We go every night we are at the beach! The staff is so friendly and remember us every time!

    Amazing service, great environment and good ice cream for warm days like today. Recommend if you're on the boardwalk and it's hot, stop by Cherry on Top. The servers were great and very attentive, even when the shop got packed they didn't sweat a beat or change posture, something you hardly see nowadays. We advised them that one of your child was highly allergic to tree nuts and just asked to have the spoon rinsed off completely, but the kid behind the counter took it a step further, put on a second gloves and offered to get a new tub to ensure no cross contamination, which we greatly appreciated but advise not needed as there were no tree nuts surrounding the choice my daughter wanted. Servings are plentiful as well. I decided on the peanut butter cookies and cream that did not disappoint. The area outside has shade and allows to cool off while having multiple corn hole sets for the family to enjoy as they're eating or resting.

    Late night ice cream run!

    If you're looking for some ice cream, look no further! We've had ice cream from a different place each night of our vacation, and this is hands down the one I'd place at the top of our list. It was good quality, the BEST PRICES BY FAR, and generous portions. The line moved quickly, so don't let that deter you! The staff were also incredibly friendly!

    It's dessert, delish turtle trax ice cream.

    I was fond of this place back when it was a donut shop but now it's an ice cream spot. Cherry On Top, nestled in the heart of Gulf Shores main public beach area at 132 W. 1st Ave, just one street over from the beachfront road, a in front of De Sotos, and behind new hotel. My recent visit at this family-owned ice cream parlor which has been delighting locals and visitors alike since 2021 and even more so since it changed ownership and remodel in 2023. This local gem is known for its great frozen treats welcoming atmosphere, making it on convenient and and tasty destination in the area. Cherry On Top offers a diverse range of creamy, delicious ice cream flavors to satisfy every palate. From classic favorites like chocolate and vanilla to more adventurous options, there's something for everyone to enjoy. In addition to traditional scoops, the menu features an array of mouthwatering treats such as shakes, floats, sundaes, and shaved ice. With a cozy, inviting atmosphere, Cherry On Top provides the a great setting to indulge in a sweet treat with friends and family. The parlor offers both dine-in and take-out options and has both interior and lots of outside options with lots of parking in and around the place. Bottom line: The place is very clean, bright and airy with reasonable prices, and the friendly and attentive staff is always on hand to ensure that every customer has a delightful experience.

    Went here for an evening ice cream adventure and loved it. Great portion sizes and good flavors. Ladies working were nice and helpful. Little shop with seating outside and cornhole to play as well.

    Service was friendly and the ice cream was great. Small inside but close enough to walk to from the beach or our rental house.

    Good ice cream. A little pricey. Was hoping for more of a variety and the milkshakes weren't available. Quick and simple.
