The literal best ice cream I have ever had. My husband and were jonesing for some ice cream. We did a Yelp search and this was nearby. Best decision ever. We kept sampling and each one we tried was not only excellent, but better than the next, but also perfect in its own way. Thankfully there was the option for a flight, so we got to have four different scoops. We took a pint home, and this was us exercising self control. The staff is amazing, the locale is bright and airy. Absolutely incredible. Come check them out. You will find something you love. read more

Great Heights Creamery was a really great find, and the service ended up being just as memorable as the ice cream. We were helped by someone I believe was named Julie or Julia (I'm not great with names), and we ended up chatting a bit because she used to live in New York too. She was so warm with the kids and let us sample just about every flavor, which made the whole experience feel really personal. The ice cream itself is fantastic--creative flavors, but also genuinely delicious. You can taste the homemade quality in every bite. I had coconut and dark chocolate, the kids had vanilla, dark chocolate, and watermelon mint, and my husband also really enjoyed his choices (though I can't remember exactly what he picked). Overall, it was just a really pleasant stop with great ice cream and exceptional service. It's also right next to Origin Pizza, which is another spot we'd definitely recommend. read more

Being a mom of two young kids, I've tried out nearly every ice cream shop in Sarasota. I can confidently say Great Heights Creamery is hands down the best. The absolute hardest part is deciding on a flavor. So far I've tried their blueberry and lemon ricotta, coffee and donuts, brownie s'more's, and the darkness flavors. All of them have been exceptional. They're rich and delicious and their consistency is creamy and smooth. Some of their flavors change periodically so there's always something new to try. Their staff is super friendly and more than accommodating with sample offerings and the option to split flavors. I'm usually a cup over cone person but their made in-house waffle cone is the best waffle cone I've ever had. I highly recommend it be paired with their ice cream. I look forward to each trip to Great Heights Creamery and the new flavor options that await! read more

Its located in this quaint courtyard with a fire pit, picnic tables, and plenty of space for kiddos to run around. Oh did I mention how delicious the ice cream was? Go today. read more

There's a new ice cream spot in Sarasota and they had their Grand Opening today. Great Heights Creamery started off in the area at farmers markets, pop ups, and local parties. They also locally sourced ingredients in the area and are organic as well as have vegan options. I tried a handful of flavors such as A Drop Of Golden Sun, Somewhere in Tuscany, Dirty Blonde, Bananas Foster, & Salty & Sweetness. While many were quite original, the flavors were quite subtle. I chose the salty and sweetness which is a salted caramel. I thought it was alright. My husband did not like it at all. In terms of service, a young male helped me and provided me with samples of those flavors. At the end, he asked me if I wanted a single or a double. $6 or $9. They also had cone crumbs on the side. Which I've had this at other ice creams shops as complimentary. I asked him for crumbs for two since I was sharing and he made sure they were literal crumbs and then charged me for a full cone. With that, I said absolutely not, how can crumbs be a full cone. I wasn't paying an additional almost $2 for a full cone that was actually crumbs. The owner took it off my bill, and told him to put the crumb bowl to the back. It is the first day, but that's definitely not a good customer service experience with the young male and I appreciate the owner/manager taking it off my bill. I doubt I will be back. This ice cream wasn't for me, and the service simply is learn the difference btw crumbs and a cone. I really was tempted to leave that scoop there if they were to charge me a full cone for crumbs. read more

Amazing ice cream. I have been eying this place for a while and I am so happy we went. The Mexican hot chocolate ice cream was one of the best flavors ever. They even have gluten free cones! I love the decor and the outdoor hangout area as well. The people inside were kind and helpful. I cannot wait to return! read more

Incredible ice cream, friendly staff and off the path so you're not dealing with kids and the like, don't miss this hidden gem!!!!

The ice cream here is phenomenal! They have a nice range of flavors and all are made in house. They have a selection that is permanently on the menu and some that are seasonal. I was able to taste a few flavors before deciding including one made with local honey and another with olive oil and rosemary -- surprisingly good. Pints of ice cream are the best deal and they were nice enough to put a selection of ice cream in the pint for me. The rich deliciousness of their dark chocolate ice cream pairs incredibly well with the salt caramel. Those two were my favorite. I'll definitely be back. The service was great and the place has a nice vibe and lots of out door space to sit and enjoy your ice cream too. read more

Very cute, quality ice cream shop! The ice cream and even the cones are made in house. So many fun and unique flavors to choose from! I tasted the pumpkin as well as the oatmeal cookie. Decided to go with the oatmeal cookie a dish. Served with a piece of cone on top! $6.50 for a small but very good quality and very friendly service. I will be back! read more

Nice employees, great little spot in a beautiful courtyard, but just average ice cream. Said it's homemade , but definitely didn't seem like it. Vanilla was plain and lacked the rich creaminess that comes with homemade.. read more

Went on top recommendations. Fun spot with other restaurants around. Ordered the pistachio and the vegan coffee chip. Both were delicious! Very creamy. Many flavors I'd love to choose from so will definitely be back! We went mid-afternoon and it was quiet. read more

Excellent experience here! All ice cream is made in-house, and you can definitely tell: it is perfectly creamy and fresh, and with flavors you can't find anywhere else! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, and I really appreciated that they don't mind customers sampling their flavors before ordering, since all of them sound amazing and it's hard to decide! The s'mores brownie and salted caramel with chocolate-covered pretzels were my favorite, although the PB&J was tempting too. Also, I've never been to an ice cream spot that offered toasted meringue as a topping, but it was the absolute perfect addition. My favorite ice cream shop I've tried in Sarasota! read more

Great heights is some of the best ice cream I've ever had. Somewhere in Tuscany was amazing - a great balance of creamy, olive oil, and sea salt flavors and textures. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Black sesame flavor was also very good. read more

First impression was that the place was clean and bright. Staff (a young g man and young woman) were friendly, welcoming, both taking time to make sure the place was spotless when we walked in. Great selection of flavors. Asked about samples and was immediately given samples on reusable stainless steal sample spoons. Awesome job with the planet was my next thought. Your staff are almost as awesome as your ice cream. They need a tip jar! We run a small family food truck business our tip jar only goes to the kids. Your staff boasted about the quality of your product, the care you take in making your vegan ice cream, and upsold us to a flight! Get them a tip jar! They are awesome sauce! I would steal them from you if my business was based here! Great job in scoring these young people! We took our ice creams outside (great indoor and outdoor dining areas). Noticed you use compostable to go containers and spoons! Thank you! A couple approached us from the fancy place next door and asked if the ice cream was any good.... Ummmmm yes! We are total ice cream snobs and your ice cream is truly craft quality! Way to go! read more

I've been twice now and tried four different flavors- and all of them have been amazing! Really, this ice cream is so delicious! There are some really unique and cool flavors too, along with your more standard options. It's in a cute courtyard with outdoor seating and shade. Great option for kids or adults alike. Even though it's super hot outside, there are large fans running, so that plus the shade, it's actually quite nice outside. I highly recommend! read more

Overall great place, most important very clean inside and very clean kitchen. Ice cream very delicious delicious, my wife my kid liked it. We tried 4 different flavors and all are good. I can't recommend flavor because each person like different. Waffle cone great, not super sweet like most of places. Service is good. read more

Unique delicious flavors made from scratch & friendly owner! Non-dairy options my auntie raved about too. Happy to support this local gem. Give the Yes, Honey flavor a try! read more

Overall - 9/10 Food - 9/10, loved the large assortment of flavors. The "darkness" was amazing as well as the blueberry lemon ricotta. Some of the other ice-cream flavors were not "amazing" but were still great! Prices were very fair. Service - 9/10, nothing to say bad about the service! It was quick and efficient, but nothing above and beyond. Atmosphere - 9/10, not a ton of parking and it was raining when we went. Not many sit in option; however, the patio outside would have been nice to use if the weather permitted. read more

This place is adorable and the ice cream is amazing! We tried the oatmeal cookie and PB&J. The oatmeal cookie had wonderful little bits of cookie in it. I also added the meringue topping. I'm so happy the meringue option is available. It's the first time I've found the meringue option in this area. The pb&j tasted just like a pb&j sandwich. The service was fantastic and the setting was perfect to sit and enjoy an ice cream treat. read more

I LOVE it here! The ice cream is unique, creamy, and flavorful. There was no ice chunks in its consistency. Every flavor had spot on "mix ins" in each base which added texture and more flavor. Additionally, the service was amazing. The owner let us try all the flavors. He was kind, helpful, and respectful. To top off the experience, the ambiance was fun, colorful, and trendy. read more

Wanted some dessert after a day at Lido and when checking to see what was open on a Sunday, this place caught my eye with "homemade using local grass fed dairy." Sure enough, their flavors didn't disappoint. I sampled A Drop of Golden Sun, Yes Honey, and Brownie S'mores. ALL SO GOOD. I ended up getting a single scoop of Yes Honey to share with my 3 year old, a Pint of Brownie S'mores to take home, and my hubby enjoyed his Affogato w/Coffee + Doughnuts ice cream. So bomb + satisfying, especially after the beach. Wish I got a picture, but we ate it too fast :,) Oh well, more reason to come back! read more
