Adrianna R.

A genuine and welcoming Italian greeting is what you'll receive as soon as you walk in the door. With the owners being from Rome, the Gelato is authentic and made fresh everyday. It is nothing like the other Gelato spots I've tried throughout Brevard. Not to mention the overall experience that comes with the hospitality of the owners--they make you feel like family. It's a tiny shop that has room for indoor seeing at a bar or some outdoor seating at tables. My absolutely favorite is their Affogato!!

Anna is the owner and she is the best! She is super fun, friendly, full of energy and she speaks Italian to you if you know it! All her icecream or gelati are made from scratch and no joke, they are beyond delicious and fresh. The flavors and tastes of her icecream makes you feel like you teleported to Italy! Anna makes your experience at her location the best! She lets you try two flavors max to make sure you like your choice of icecream before buying it! All her flavors are top notch. I highly recommend pistachio and Ferraro roche. What's amazing about her location is that she always has new and exciting flavors! Not only are you going to enjoy your icecream but you will make a friend with Anna, that's how amazing she is. read more

One of the best Gelati I've had in the U.S. The flavor, the service, the decor.. I felt like I was in Italy!! We were warmly welcomed by the owner, she was the funnest Italian lady and her husband came later to greet us. My favorite flavors were Nocciola, Gianduia and Chocolate Brownie. We live in Orlando, but came visiting with our family from Chicago and we ALL LOVED IT! We're definitely making this trip from Orlando, just to have this ice cream again. read more

I haven't been to many gelato places but I'd never want to go to any other after this. I visited Cocoa Beach on vacation and it caught my eye when I noticed a gelato shop in the area. Firstly, the decor was nothing but inviting. There were many trinkets scattered about that had me captivated the entire time. The people were so friendly and incredibly accommodating. The first time I went I got the Italian cream (which was amazing), and when I came back the next day I noticed it wasn't out anymore. One of the wonderful ladies running the store noticed my confusion and went to the back to get what was left of it for me. The gelato was incredible, but the people were awesome. I hope the next time I go to Cocoa Beach I get to visit here. read more

My wife and I are gelato fans and have enjoyed it in places around the world - including places in Rome, Capri and Pisa. Gelati Di Roma is at the top of the list. It's amazing that such great gelato is only a few miles from home. Our favorites include Nutella, Ferrero Roche, Limoncello and my personal favorite (that the owner created after I suggested it) - Coconut Stracciatella. As a frequent flyer at GDR, I suggest skipping the small, medium and large - go for the pint - or 2, like I do - so you can have some later (just put it in the freezer and switch to the refrigerator 15 minutes before you're ready to enjoy it). Tell them we sent you and said "Buonasera and grazie" read more

Popped in after a few hours at the beach and kt was amazing! Prices were fair as a small was 5.50; gelato was super yummy! I got banana and oreo and it was exactly what I needed after a long day. Much better than the gelalto in disney. The girls working behind the counter were sweet. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Cocoa! I do wish they had an italian rainbow cookie flavor with rainbow cookie chunks, but that may just be the NYer in me. Inside was nice and enhanced the mom and pop feel. read more

Whit's Frozen Custard - Melbourne

4.4

(16 reviews)

19.4 mi

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Firstly, I have indulged in Whit's Frozen Custard multiple times on different occassions, with the last time being at Grace Community Church in West Melbourne, FL during one of their special Sunday events. This is probably the first time - that I can remember - I ate frozen custard directly from their brick-and-mortar store located in Historic Downtown Melbourne. So was Whit's Frozen Custard, at least the locale in Historic Downtown Melbourne, a yay or a nay? Frozen custard-wise, it is a yay, but in general, it is not necessarily a nay, but more an observation that can make or break a patron's view of wanting to go to Whit's Frozen Custard (which I will shorthand simply to Whit's for the remainder of this review) or somewhere else. Even though an address is provided, Whit's is located in the East side of Historic Downtown Melbourne, in between Crush XI and Constant Pressure Tattoo Shop. I must stress that Whit's is probably not handicap accessible as the only way in and out has four steps. Inside is quite minimalistic with its overuse of the color white (which kinda fits with their name) and stainless steel, but it fits their theme. The seating is also minimalistic, but it is assumed most people will take their custard and walk with it around and about downtown. Whit's also has numerous flavors pre-packaged for sale, but their flavors they have ready-to-serve is minimal. You can choose either vanilla, chocolate, or the flavor of the day. Today when I went, the two flavors for Sunday was peach and Heath bar. I had two scoops of peach were a nice amount of frozen custard to eat for like $6. Not bad for the price they provide. Given the information above, this is either a yay or nay compared to other frozen custard places. Other places have more options, but they are not necessarily top tier across the board. Other places may be less in price, but the amount of frozen custard you get will be less than the price you pay with Whit's. Like I said, these are not criticisms, but more like personal observations that cater to one's preferences. With that in mind, I am going to give Whit's three out of five stars. They are a-okay with what they have and what they have is delicious, but depending on my mood, I will either go to them... or not. Now if they are consistent with this setup, I will definitely give them an extra star for said consistency. But right now, they are three stars meaning they are a-okay.

The staff were very helpful in explaining options and toppings. The store is extremely clean…read more Several to go flavors. Great little spot in Downtown Melbourne.

We all opted for one scoop each in cups, various flavors, from chocolate to cotton candy to coconut. The scoops were generous, and the ice cream was refreshing, as it was starting to get pretty hot outside. This is a small place so a limited selection, and there were only 4 chairs inside to sit and just a few seats outside. It was pretty hot, so we managed inside and shared chairs as much as possible, but there is room for a few more seats in there, not sure why they don't have more.

Big Daddy J's 5 Great Things

If you're anywhere near the Space Coast and not stopping at Big Daddy J's, you're missing a launch…read moreyou'll regret. We grabbed seats at the bar, and right out of the gate the experience was mission-ready. The girls behind the bar were awesome, friendly, attentive, and just had that effortless vibe that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. Now the food... wow. Everything came out fresh, hot, and absolutely dialed in. The burgers were stacked and juicy, the sandwiches loaded, and those sidewinder fries? Forget it. Crispy, golden perfection. You can tell nothing sat under a heat lamp, this was all cooked to order and launched straight to the table. Best way I can describe it given the location... This wasn't just good food, it was a full-on flavor liftoff. Like sitting a few miles from Cape Canaveral and watching a rocket punch through the atmosphere, everything about this meal just took off and didn't look back. Great people, killer food, laid-back atmosphere... this place hits on all cylinders. We'll definitely be back for another launch

When we arrived, we did notice the outside could use a little TLC, but once inside, it was very clean and tidy. We were immediately greeted by both the hostess and bartender, and they were very friendly. We were seated right away and our drink orders were taken quickly. It took us a few minutes to go through the menu since we weren't familiar with the restaurant, and there are quite a few items to choose from. We ordered the "Crack Mac Snack" (macaroni and cheese) and added pulled pork and the biscuit bread. The food came out quickly, and we were not disappointed. The biscuit bread was absolutely amazing, rich, soft, and delicious (maybe a little too generous with the butter on top, but still delicious). It's a thick, hearty piece, about two inches high and roughly four inches square. The mac and cheese was a generous portion and easily enough to share, and it was really good. The homemade BBQ sauce was also a highlight. The only slight miss was my husband's Coke, which wasn't very sweet, possibly a calibration issue with the machine. Overall, this is definitely a spot worth trying if you're in Cocoa Beach and want something different. There's a lot on the menu, and we'll definitely be back.

He LOVED it! Had fresh blackberries with a Pomegranate glaze and duck confit hash. I had the Corvina fish. It featured a pineapple salsa along with Mofongo. Amazing. Such a delicious dish. My grandson got the Dirty rice with shrimp and scallops. So good! Absolutely delicious! We finished with delectable desserts which we shared - Key lime pie, Chocolate Pave - so luxurious, and Lemon Blueberry Crumb Cake. What a special night we had.

Unfortunately a lot of the execution fell a bit flat, especially after both the menu and it's prices had set our expectations otherwise. The amuse bouche was definitely a palate awakener.. a mix of olive tapenade and vinegary mustard. It wasn't for us, but if the goal was to wake up our mouths, it worked. Then hubs had the scallop appetizer with bacon maple marmalade. He thought it was too sweet, I didn't mind it. Scallops were cooked well. I had the mussels from Brussels, a bit clumsy to eat as the mussels were in their shells and the thin Brussel leaves were scattered within/around, all on a bed of pureed potatoes. But a nice flavor and a good portion size. Then i moved on to the beet salad, which was my least favorite. A dish I enjoy at a lot of restaurants, all with different plating/approaches, this one was clunky, the beets were cut thicker than usual, plated with large proportion dwarfing the citrus and the cheese was presented in medium size encrusted balls. It lacked elegance or delicateness, the flavors didn't really meld as they should. Hubs and I then moved to the main course. I had the crispy gnocci app as my main, which was fine, nothing special and hubs had the catch #2 a tile fish that was just ok. We finished our drinks, opted for dessert elsewhere. They've been around a long time, so I'm sure we will try again in another couple years.

Fantastico!! I have eaten gelato all over the world only to realize recently that the best EVER is right here in Cocoa Beach. You must try this. Way better than any ice cream AND, it is truly the best Gelato you will find! Lots of flavors to choose from, new ones often, and it is made in-store on Italian equipment by a lovely Italian gentleman who was trained in Italy. The owners are the sweetest people and you will be greeted with gusto each time! Gratzi to them for choosing Cocoa Beach to set up shop!! Now go and patronize them! You will be happy you did! My husband goes there every week and we even used them for the desert at our wedding!! Everyone loved it! Nutella is my favorite and his is coconut stracciatella (this one is a newer creation, which they made at my husband's suggestion). read more

Simply the BEST gelato we have ever had. The pistachio had just been made and the taste was superb. They obviously use the freshest ingredients. The owners are from Italy and make everything themselves. They are very friendly and let us sample as many flavors as we wanted before we decided. We've tried other gelato places before and none compare to this. read more
