Cute little sweet treat spot right next to the border of Missouri & Kansas! I ended up getting ice cream: pistachio and cheesecake in a waffle cone. It was pretty standard and hit the spot, nothing mind blowing though. Ambiance is good- very pink, service was fast. 8/10 would recommend! read more

Miami Ice is located on 39th street that has covered, outdoor, dog friendly seating. My husband, our little girl dog and I walked over here from our Airbnb, which was about a block away and decided to stop by here for a nice dessert this past Friday night. My husband and little girl sat at a table and I went inside. I was greeted by an employee behind the counter. I ended up purchasing: Miami Ice Small Size, $5.05 prior to tax- I ended up picking tropic wonder which is coconut, strawberry, peaches flavors mixed with frozen custard at the bottom. After ordering, my frozen treat was ready in 3 minutes. Although a small, this is a fair size to share with another (and some bites for our little girl). I liked the tropical flavors together, especially with the frozen custard, as it makes it nice and creamy. -------------------------------------- (Total= $5.68 after) Please note that there is also seating inside but no public restrooms. There is also trash cans inside and outside (in case you are eating outside like us). The 2 employees I interacted with were nice, one in particular was pretty helpful in making suggestions on what to order since I had mentioned this is my first time visiting. I definitely like Miami Ice and would come back if I was visiting this area again. read more

This was my first time at Miami Ice and I will be going back! The shave ice had good flavor and texture. The only thing I would change is next time I'll get a scoop of ice cream in mine instead of custard! They have so many other items I would love to go back and try! read more

The food was good the owner was nice in a great hidden spot with a good view of the city. get the frozen custard!

This place is the bee's knees! The person at the counter (who I think might have been the owner?) was super nice, very patient, and accommodating to what we wanted to order and try! The shaved ice had tons of syrup in it, which I love, and all of the ice cream flavors I tried were delicious! Shoutout to the cereal milk flavor in particular. It's also got a really neat, 50s-style retro decorating scheme reminiscent of Miami itself. It's honestly just a really cool place! We'll definitely be back! read more

Cute spot for all your cold sweet treats - shaved ice, milkshakes, smoothies, ice cream, etc. both indoor and outdoor seating available. Appreciated the staff's friendly and helpful attitudes read more

Great customer service and great ice cream and Miami ice! Would totally recommend and would come back when in the area. A must try if you haven't. read more

We had always wanted to try this place after driving past many times before. The serving sizes were generous as the small was just the right amount for us. We tried some of the shaved ice combinations from the hand-written menu: The Laffy Taffy with multiple fruit flavors such as grape and more and the Incredible Hulk that was lemon-lime flavored. Both were very good and the custard at the base was a nice complement. The service was very fast and we had our orders in hand in no time at all. There were posted signs that ask for patrons to eat outside which makes sense given the size and current situation. Overall, it was a great place and would like to try something different next time. read more

If you're debating to come here or not... just go! The custard is phenomenal. The two girls who served us were very nice. We got a flight which was perfect for the first time. My top faves are the gooey butter cake, lemon tiramisu, and biscoff. read more

Miami Ice - Flight with chocolate, lemon tiramisu, gooey butter cake, strawberry, biscoff, and London fog - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

This business has a tropical vibe due to the bright welcoming colors inside. It serves a variety of dessert treats; multiple flavors of shaved ice (get a shot of custard or a scoop of ice cream added!!!), soft serve custard, AND at least 10 flavors of hard packed homemade ice cream. I bring this last point to your attention because so few people know that they serve great ice cream. In Kansas City it is difficult to know where to get good homemade ice cream. But...you CAN it if you know where to look! That is the case here. Miami Ice serves Sylas and Maddy's Homemade Ice Cream. This ice cream is the well known brand found in Lawrence KS (University of Kansas) a mere 31 miles away. People of Westport and the Plaza area...you do not have to drive across town to get great ice cream. It's right in your backyard! From double scoops to malts and killer sundae's, you have numerous options to choose from. The pic listed in this review is of 3 shaved ice treats, because the day we went, the heat index was 106°! One blueberry shaved ice with a scoop of blue moon ice cream. One lime shaved ice with a scoop of vanilla custard, and one grape shaved ice with a scoop of salted caramel. What a great way to cool down. The business opens at 2:00pm and closes at 9:00pm. Starting around 8:00pm they very get busy. There is no interior seating. Many people get their order and walk outside eating on Miami Ice's small porch or on the ledge around the front. During Covid times, they do ask that you wear a mask and social distance while in line. If you want a great dessert option in KC, MO...check this place out! read more

Miami Ice - Blueberry ice + blue moon ice cream, lime ice + scoop of custard, grape shaved ice + salted caramel! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I had a difficult time deciding which amazing flavors to try. I was very appreciative of the young lady who helped me with my ice cream order. She was extremely patient while I decided on an ice cream flavor. I went with the Cinnamon Peach Cobbler with extra Graham crackers on the bottom of the cup and hot caramel on top. I was blown away by how well the flavors blended. The fresh peaches added a nice touch. This was my first time trying cinnamon ice cream, and it wasn't because I was afraid to try it, but Miami Ice was the first ice cream shop I've been to that has it, and I absolutely love it! Lastly, I think I'm most excited to discover a location that serves shaved ice all year! I will definitely return for some. read more

There's a song about Miami Ice. It's "You Belong To The Slurpie" by Glenn Frey. It goes like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bP48ngwLRM The sun goes down The night rolls in You can feel your sweet tooth acting up all over again The moon comes up And your sugar addiction calls You're getting tired of staring at the same four walls You're out of your room And down on the street Moving through the crowds through the KC heat The traffic roars And the sirens scream You look at the flavour choices, its just like a dream Nobody know what you're ordering But it looks a sort of yellowy-green 'Cause you belong to Miami You belong to the Ice Living in a river of melted shavings Beneath the neon ice You were born in the KC World's best BBQ at your feet But this ice in your blood, its in your diabetes You're a Yelper of dessert What to get: Shaved ice with some custard in it, whichever one you fancy Who to date: Any boy or girl you want, whichever one you fancy Miami Ice is simply one of the greatest dessert places in the country - and completely underrated. I've had these shaved ice desserts from so many other places, and they're anything from disgusting and awful, to overly sweet and puke-inducing. I would say it is my favorite product of its kind in the country - shaved ice, and so on - and one of my favorite desserts in the country. Get it with a little custard at the bottom and it's even better. Sort of like a slightly altered version of Gelati from South Philadelphia (the Rita's chain is how you might know that product without having been to South Philly). The Tangerine and the Guava flavors are my favourites, and are both delicious, but pretty much every flavour is great, and you can't go wrong with these guys. Miami Ice is pretty cheap and the portions are pretty hefty, The only complaint I have would be that the guys serving this stuff don't seem nearly as enthusiastic as they should be, considering how amazing their product is! So this is the kind of place you visit TWICE For the perfect products and amazing PRICE One visit per day won't SUFFICE Any more than I'm able to be CONCISE So after BBQ or a Pizza SLICE Let me give you sound ADVICE If you think that dessert sounce NICE Get yourself down to MIAMI ICE WHAT read more

There's so many choices here, what or where do I start? I went here for the first time with my foodie buddy. Wanted to try something cold and tasty and we found this place through Yelp. Not too packed on a weekday night. Friendly staff and informative. The desserts we had was perfect to end the night. Tasty and sweet perfection. Can't wait to go back to tried other flavors! read more

Miami Ice - Strawberry with custard and shave ice - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

We visited during a trip to KC and were happy to find this little spot for some dessert. The ice cream Sunday we got was delicious and we enjoyed the fun Miami theme. They have plenty of choices if you're looking for a sweet chilly treat so you won't be disappointed. Servings are fairly large so I'd suggest sharing or coming with an appetite! There isn't much seating in the little shop but there are plenty of cute places to walk around in the area so taking your treat to go would be fun too. read more

It's not good at all. The shaved ice cream is just syrup sugar with saved ice cream other places use natural flavors. The ice cream is okay. I would not come back thou read more

Definitely a local favorite! Miami Ice offers something that many sno cone places in and around KC do not. I love that you can order a combo of ice cream and shaved ice. It makes the experience way more fun. The flavors are *almost* endless and the shop itself is colorful and fun! The portions are large, so be in the mood for a cold sweet treat when you go! read more

Delicious! Tiger's Blood is the way to go! And always with the custard at the bottom. Yelp really wants me to make this longer but what else can I say about shaved ice, custard, and syrups? I've tried lots of flavors and they're all good, but again, Tiger's Blood is very much the winner. read more

Come for the 1980's Florida pastel decor, stay for the ice cream. They do a ton of frozen goodness here, but in my opinion, the ice cream is the best. It's made locally from my fav, Sylas and Maddy's, and they have so many good flavors here. My choice is the Lemon Custard which is super creamy and delicious. The atmosphere is sort of like something you'd find in a little beach town although a bit more urban. Service is hit or miss -- sometimes very friendly and sometimes just in and out. In a town aching for more local ice cream, they earn four stars in my book. read more

Custard on the bottom of a snow cone/shaved ice. What? Yes please. Lots of ice cream/custard flavors, and lots of toppings. Smoothies, milk shakes, and hot dogs but the highlights are the snow cones or ice cream creations. $5 quarts of custard during the winter was a highlight of my Thursday nights. It's like walking into 80's with its pink, teal neon lights, metal chairs, palm trees, flamingos and checkered floor. Indoor seating/ outdoor seating and usually bowl of water for furry friends. If the weather's nice be prepared to wait in line going out the door, usually only one person taking all the orders and preparing them. Being such its impressive its not messier in appearance, but they do all right. read more

During my recent visit to Miami Ice, I found out that they are open all through Winter. Life is complete. Their snowcones are served with soft-serve ice cream on the bottom. When you're almost done with your treat, there's a fun surprise at the bottom! There are some great Kansas City hot-spots across the 39th strip, and Miami Ice is another one of the places that makes that area so special. read more

Smoothie Spree Chronicles - Part 9: So the smoothies here are pretty average. They blend a few fruits from the toppings bar with juice and vanilla froyo, and mine tasted fairly good but it was basic and overpriced so I wouldn't get it again. I tried ice cream here once and it was also pretty average - nothing compared to Murray's or Glace, of course. The service is also not as peppy or friendly as I would hope from a dessert shop. BUT the reason they get 4 stars: their signature snow cone with custard on the bottom is AWESOME! I don't even like snow cones but I thought I'd still give it a try, and I'm glad I did! It's such a unique combination that I've never seen being served anywhere else... you finish your snow cone and instead of sad emptiness, you get creamy custard at the bottom! read more

Miami Ice - guava, passion & blue raspberry ice with frozen custard on the bottom :) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

It's a snow cone, right? What more could be reviewed with sugary flavored syrups and shaved ice? Well, for starters, location, location, location. Nestled in a 39th St corner in between Fric & Frac and near Starbucks, d'Bronx, and half a dozen other great eateries, Miami Ice is a perfect finisher on a hot summer evening. And try your snowcone with the dash of custard in the bottom and thank your lucky stars that some dude was probably bored one day and 'invented' that mixology. There are probably 40 flavors and when you can mix up to three in one dish, well, you get the idea. If you want to do the math and determine the number of possible combos, then the KU Med Center neighborhood is made for smarties like you. Nerds like dessert, too. read more

This place has everything ice and ice cream-related. Came here for a sno cone and they have a pretty decent selection of around 20+ flavors.. but the kicker is their custard that they place at the bottom of their sno cones. "A dessert for your dessert." You can pick up to 4 flavors and the custard mixes really well with the flavored ice.. I got their coconut, blue raspberry, and root beer flavors for myself and my girlfriend got their watermelon, and lemon (?) flavors! read more

Just as good as I remember it. It's been a while since I've been to Miami Ice, but this visit reminded me that I need to go more often. I love the shaved ice with the soft serve in the middle. They also an incredible variety of flavors you can choose from, and/or mix/ pair together. The staff was friendly and gave a good recommendation. I will definitely have to pop in more often this summer. read more

Awesome sauce this place is great. They have so many different flavors. If you start at the beginning of summer going twice a week you'll probably never have the same thing. The gent working in the store was super friendly and helpful. Store front gives you the Miami vibe. Definitely will be back and was well worth the money and drive. read more

On of the best places to get shaved ice in the Westport area. Love how you can get custard at the bottom of it. Service is usually pretty good. But there have been a few times that the employees just weren't the nicest. Maybe they were having an off day that day. 13/10 will be back for another waffle cone. And shaved ice. read more

Miami Ice offers shaved ice snowcone type desserts, as well as ice cream and shakes and other concoctions. My husband had a mango smoothie that he really liked, and I had a chocolate birthday cake shake all mixed up and it was so yummy! They also use a frozen marble slab to mix ice cream and toppings all together, reminiscent of Coldstone Creamery. The guy that works there is cool and more punk rock than someone who would be at a corporate place. Support local businesses! They lose one star because when we went in the shop there was a strong chemical smell like they had just disinfected the place. It was really overwhelming, but hopefully it doesn't smell like that all the time! read more

His frozen custard is SOOO good!! I crave it! Owner is real cool once you get him talkin too!

Kept driving by here as it's on my favorite food street in KC: 39th. Really great shaved ice with a surprise at the bottom: some soft serve ice cream. They call it a "dessert for your dessert," I call it awesome. They also have some decent hot dogs. read more

We were lucky enough to be down in the area on a great weather day and stopped by to enjoy some delicious ice cream and shaved ice. The staff is super friendly, enjoying some music and dancing. Our treats were ready and available very quickly. Anytime you're down in the area on 39th, this should be one of your dessert options. read more

Miami Ice is my absolute favorite place to come for ice cream. Every time I have come here the customer service has been excellent! The bathroom has always been clean and only ONE time did they run out of my favorite ice cream. This place has few seats on the inside and some seating outside, its my favorite "hole in the wall" if you would. What I love best about Miami Ice is the variety, they have snow cones, regular ice cream, a milkshake machine, and the ability to do mix ins just like cold stone does! Everything Ive tried from here has been great, the quality is unmatched! I prefer Miami Ice instead of the more popular ice cream shops! This is also a great stop when walking in the area- will be returning soon! read more

This ice cream shop was pretty clean and plenty of seating available. There are many different flavors to choose from. I ordered the one scoop of Birthday Cake ice cream. The server gave me a pretty big scoop! I wasn't too thrilled with the flavor I picked. It was too sweet for me. The next time I return, I will order a different flavor on the menu. read more

I love the Miami Ice with custard, my favorite is Blue Raspberry, Peach & Guava. They package these so well for delivery that the ice amazingly hasn't melted when you receive it. read more

Just the best thing on a hot day. The service is so friendly and fun. I get the shaved ice over soft serve with the sugar-free syrups and feel relatively guilt free. The murals are great for photo ops and the pricing is fair compared to the amazingness you get in return. read more
