Mayday is a hut-sized attraction in the middle of River City Shopping Center. It's an eye-tease as you are moving through the area. This is the main reason I visited with both of my daughters. The ice cream flavors are less than traditional, so we spent a great deal of time sampling. The flavors are exact to the descriptions I landed on salted Carmel and Giselleppi Delight. They have an ice cream cone chip as a topping so I did not need a cone. This place is pricey for it to be ice cream. read more

I have become a true fan of Mayday Ice Cream. I have no clue how this was my first visit, but I had a craving for ice cream. I went to another place whose ice cream machine was down, so I just randomly stopped at Mayday. I was pleasantly greeted and introduced to all the delicious ice cream available. After trying a few choice, I decided on the parent trap which is a peanut butter based ice cream with Oreos in a waffle cones. This was delicious. It was so creamy but not overly sweet. I loved it. They also put sprinkles on top which just made it so much better for some reason. I will be coming back especially since I've learned that they sell pints of the ice cream. read more

YUM! Fresh, small batch ice cream! The perfect treat at the end of the night. So many unique flavors available, I was thrilled! I got the dark datil (dark chocolate ice cream with cacao nibs and datil pepper) as well as coffee with glazed doughnut bits. It was the perfect combination, the flavors played so well together. The service was fast and the lady serving us was very nice and efficient. We enjoyed our ice cream outside on their patio tables - it was an excellent evening. Mayday also has pints for sale in the fridges - I also saw they had both waffle and pretzel cones, very intrigued by the pretzel cones! Hope to try some different flavors soon! read more

Please try the Gillespie's Bourbon Pecan (if you're over 21). It was so delicious, with the slightest hint of Bourbon and rich pecans mixed throughout. The icecream was creamy, well-blended and amazing! All homemade. The blackberry earl grey has a lovely color and flavor profile, so light, with a great milk taste and blackberries running throughout. It's not too sweet, and just the perfect amount of fruit. Unlimited galettes and sprinkles! Free parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. If you love a flavor, get a pint to go! read more

I already love Mayday Ice Cream so I was super excited to have this little spot near my new house. This location is tiny and so adorable. It's also just as good as the San Marco location. My go-to flavors include: Cookie Crush - classic Oreo done flawlessly! My favorite, if I had to pick. The Aviator - chocolate and Nutella ice cream with Biscoff cookies, oh so yummy. Parent Trap - delicious PB ice cream and Oreo. What else do you need? Blueberry Toast Crunch - fruity and cinnamony and crunchy. Love, love, love. Cloud 9 - almond ice cream with homemade marshmallow fluff, creamy and so dreamy! Pro-tip: Don't miss out on the homemade sprinkles! They add a sweet crunch and you won't regret it! They also have prefilled little bags for pint purchases. read more

I had planned to check out the Aloha waffle bar but it was packed so I walked over to this small glass storefront and decided to try Mayday instead. I'm so glad I did!!! Okay this is truly gourmet ice cream! It's rich and creamy and decadent. I consider myself an ice cream connoisseur and this might be the best I've ever had. I got the aviator flavor which is Nutella ice cream with biscoff cookies. The cookies were so perfect to balance the sweet Nutella flavor. They also have a vodka watermelon sorbet that's 21+ and sounded amazing but unfortunately I can't drink so someone please try it for me and let me know how it is! read more

On a late night I had a sweet tooth and this place definitely solved that craving. First time here and the staff took the time to answer all my questions as well as allowed me to sample the ones I was interested in. Cloud 9 was my flavor of choice on a waffle cone. Not too sweet at all. My s/o picked a flavor with bourbon in it. We both were impressed because we only eat dairy free and could stomach these with no problems. I just found my new ice cream spot. read more

I got the double scoop of passion fruit turmeric and almond butter chocolate, just couldn't make up my mind since they both were yummy. The combination is a banquet in my mouth. They have milk and non-milk product plus they let you try them before you purchase.

Artisan ice cream a few spots in FL and expanding! They got flavors for everyone in the family as well as dairy free options... they even have 21+ boozy ice cream for when the extended family come to visit . They make their waffle cones in house and have floats and affogato (ice cream with a shot of espresso). Flavors I've tried so far and can give two thumbs up: triple vanilla, parent trap, Sunday best banana pudding, the aviator and gillespie's bourbon pecan. Don't forget to get your stamp in your rewards card! read more

Holy moly! Went out for ice cream and this place was a few minutes closer than cold stone so I figure "what they hay, let's check 'er out." Best choice all day! Everything seems to be made fresh by them, very simple menu with classic options and some creative flavors. I went with classic strawberry but you can taste as much as you want so I suggest coming here to see if you find a new flavorite! They even have pints for sale to go, top notch establishment. I will be back, and I live Gville. Ps. My friend got this coffee and donut ice cream and the chunks of donuts in there is something I didn't know I needed! read more

The ice cream was D E L I C I O U S! I had bourbon pecan in a pretzel cone and I will go again! Interesting flavor combos. I'm partial to ice cream with nuts and there was only one option. Other flavors sounded delicious too. The pretzel cone was a new experience for me and quite tasty, even if a bit salty. So consider that when determining which flavor of ice cream. The pilot is "one scoop" but is really 3 small scoops. Now for the cons, the place is very small and the names of the ice cream names are only on the counter so you can't see all the flavors if it's busy. A wall menu would be super helpful. I had to hold up the line to see them all. Also, parking is horrendous and crowded and people will run you over to get their ice cream! I have one serious appeal to the owners...get some blinds! These poor employees are working in a glass booth and when we were there the sun was so bright, they were literally having to shield their eyes to even look at the customers. It was blinding for them and the customers. It was mildly cool today and even though the a/c was on, it was much warmer inside because of the sun. I can't say this enough, it was horrible and I felt very bad for those ladies even though they had a smile on their face and were all very friendly. read more

The shop was completely empty when we arrived, so there was no reason for us to feel rushed. However, the employee hurried us through placing our orders. One person in our group was in the restroom and hadn't had a chance to decide what they wanted yet, and the employee was very short and impatient with us. When we asked to sample one of the ice cream flavors, she simply responded, "Okay," and came across as unfriendly and annoyed. While we were ordering, another customer came in, and we noticed the employee spoke to them with the same impatient attitude, so it didn't seem like it was just our group. The biggest issue came when the last person in our group ordered a sorbet. It was frozen so solid that it was impossible to scoop or eat. We let the employee know, and she said she would "soften it," which apparently meant microwaving it. She brought it back, but it was still hard as a rock and still wasn't edible. Unfortunately, the customer service overshadowed the visit. A friendly attitude and serving products that are ready to eat go a long way.

They have an amazing selection! The service was good, the food was great. I did the 3 courses menu for $45 and it was worth it. I had the salmon stuffed with crab, salad and rum cake, everything was delicious! They have a selection of cocktails too. I highly recommend it!

That said, I still really enjoy stopping in. The popovers are my favorite and honestly one of the main reasons I keep coming back. I also love that they're connected with the bakery at Biscotti's, because Biscotti's desserts are A-MA-ZING, especially the cakes. BB's usually has rotating meal options and entrées, which keeps things interesting, and I enjoy seeing what they have available. Some dishes feel more unique than others, but overall the food is generally tasty and thoughtfully done. I'd recommend BB's if you're looking for a cozy local spot with great baked goods, good food, and especially if you want to try the popovers. Just be prepared for limited parking and a smaller seating area.

My grandson and I stopped in for a little ice cream break. He wanted to stop there and I agreed not knowing anything about their ice cream. The flavor of their ice cream was great although the service provided was even better. I was impressed with Emma and Aubrey's pleasant attitude and their level of professional demeanor, even at such a young age. I will be returning for more delicious ice cream. I hope to find workers as equally pleasant and knowledgeable as Emma and Aubrey! read more

I just simply had to make a Yelp account so I could leave this review. A curly haired boy named Conner I believe was so absolutely helpful and patient as I tried at least 5 flavors! The ice cream here is so good, I highly recommend the Yule Nog (It is 21+ so eat responsibly)! read more

I recently visited Mayday at Rivercity and I was impressed! The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff were a plus, but the real star was the creamy, rich ice cream-midnight chocolate especially! Shout out for great service provided by Connor, Keira, and Tyra! read more

You can also purchase pints of your favorite flavors. I have a few favorites and will often get one to go that is a different than the one they scooped for me. They also carry cookies and hyppo pops. The hyppo pops come in several flavors some are standard and others are seasonal. The spoons and dishes are compostable.

Yes, the line was long but they still helped customers, let them try samples, allowed them time to choose. I love that. I HATE feeling rushed.
