    Sweet Potato Pie and Biscoff Banana Pudding Ice Cream
    Candiss C.

    I have five words for you Biscoff Banana Pudding Ice Cream! Get it now!!! You won't be sorry. We were greeted with smiling faces and excitement to try all the things! And trust we will, give us time! Lol! This place was an absolute treat, but don't blink, you'll miss it!

    Italian Ice

    This place was super fun! First off, there is plenty of parking. There is cool music playing as you walk in. You immediately see innovative flavors of Italian ice and ice cream. I got the mango, peach, and limeade Italian ice! It was yummy! I loved loved the decor and vibe . It felt like being in Hawaii. Staff was excellent. I had a great time!

    Best water ice I've had the flavors are extremely flavorful and never miss. Their ice cream flavors are unique and tasty as well. A little pricey but definitely worth it because they give you a lot. I always enjoy it every time I go. They're fast and courteous as well. It gives an island atmosphere and laid back. T

    I absolutely love the customer service at this establishment. They are always super friendly when I visit. The only pitfall is every time I visit. They never have the flavors that I want. But that goes to show that they must be doing something right. Every item that I have tried, it was super flavorful and tasted just like the fruits. Everything is made fresh and you also get to taste your items before you buy them. If you're not careful, this can become an addiction but in a good way. Their juices are amazing as well. Plus you can take your items to go or you can eat them in indoors or outdoors. This is a family friendly establishment. Everyone is always welcome.

    Say hello to the newest ice cream joint in Portsmouth! Paradice makes homemade Italian ice and ice cream which both are delicious! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Devon. What a sweet guy, and accommodating. His manager Raven, as well as other staff members are really sweet and energetic, ready to serve you. Love the energy! Italian ice is fresh, and so many different flavors to choose from, also their ice cream is phenomenal. I personally liked getting a gelati which is a mixture of Italian ice and ice cream. I got lemon cake and peach Italian ice, it was delicious as you can see from my photo. My husband got two ice cream flavors which were strawberry cheesecake and Brookie, which was a combination of brownie and Oreo. He loved it. Everything inside makes you feel like you're actually in paradise, very clean, and cutsey I love the atmosphere. Great music bumping as well! Bathrooms are clean, tables are clean, and there's also outdoor seating, which is really nice, there's umbrellas if it's super sunny, and also really cute lights for when it gets dark. They just opened up about a week ago, so come, check it out, you won't regret it!! we will absolutely be back, definitely bring our family and friends here when they come to visit this summer.

    Very delicious Italian ice. So much flavor we definitely are going to try the other flavors. The service was great as well. They let us sample 2 flavors to see what we wanted which was very nice. The place itself was very clean and welcoming. They had sitting outside and inside which is a nice bonus.

    Nestled in the heart of midtown, Portsmouth, VA. Paradise Ice is nothing short of a gem! Service is top-notch! A must-visit for anyone who loves ice cream / Italian ice or just wants to indulge in a little happiness. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors.

    I'm so glad i randomly went to check them out! From the moment we walked through the door to the time we walked out...nothing but amazing vibes and customer service! Everything she had me try was so good i didn't know what i wanted to order! She mentioned she makes everything in house and the delicious flavors proved just that! The prices were very reasonable and they give you a good portion. Below are pics of the Italian ice we ordered. I didn't take pics of my ice cream but the Angie's Apple Pie flavor *chef's kiss*

Passed…read morethrough the family from generation to generation the food, service and customer loyalty continues in this institution. The decor is the same as years passed. There's something very comforting in the fact that at least one spot in Coastal Virginia hasn't changed. The last time my son brought my Manhattan born grandson to visit he wanted to introduce him to Doumar's. It was a place both he and I had frequented often in his youth. It fid not disappoint. My grandson proclaimed the hot dog, served split in two on a hamburger bun, the best he has tasted. This trip my grandson asked for a return visit to Doumar's, again ordering a hot dog and a cherry milkshake. My son had a tuna sandwich with iced tea. My choice, as always, was a pulled pork barbecue sandwich with a limeade. The food, service & old school ambience was fantastic. Please don't ever change Doumar's. You are and will remain a gem we should cherish.

    Service- Great. Our server was very attentive and made sure he got everything correct…read more Food- Tasty! I mean it's fast food so it's nothing crazy but I've enjoyed it the few times I've been. I will say that from now on I'll probably stick to the burgers. I wanted to branch out and try the pork barbecue sandwich so I asked our server what style of barbecue it was and he thought it might be similar to eastern NC style. It was not lol. I just don't think he really knew, which is totally fine! I still ate it but I like my barbecue super flavorful so I kept slapping that hot sauce they had on it. The meat itself was cooked and minced how I like...Honestly if I get it again I may just get it for take out and bring my own sauce with me when I come back up from NC. Everything else has been great!! I love the vibes of the place as well. You can order from the car similar to a Sonic, or you can eat inside. Make sure you grab a waffle cone at some point too! They're the original creators of the waffle cone (1905). So cool! I'll be back.

    Surprisingly this little shop was not on Yelp. It's conveniently located beside the Children's…read moreMuseum of Virginia. After an afternoon at the Children's Museum in Portsmouth this seemed a logical choice to get ice-cream. The museum offers no snack area and everyone was ready for something to bridge to dinner. Parking is by street, or nearby parking garage that's free. I utilized the garage and found it clean. The walk up to the business was tidy Scoops offers ice-cream, pizza and bottled drinks. So it's kinda perfect for the location. Their are a few tables and a restroom. Everything was clean. They offer Hershey's ice-cream which to me is low quality. They had a nice selection of around eight flavors. You can choose from two types of cones and different bowl sizes. Prices for the quality are steep in my opinion. My order a waffle cone of Birthday Cake. My daughter same with Chocolate. Total $5.96 w/o tip. The ice-cream was overly soft to the point of close to melting immediately. The cashier was nice enough. He worked with a female who scooped. Assuming a husband/wife operation. I would return if in the area, but there are better area alternatives.

    First passport stamp--bougie ice series continues!…read more As part of our Sweet Tooth Saturday Passport Series, we made a stop at Strawberry Fields, and this little spot was an absolute gem! It's a small, charming place with a lovely variety of flavors--and the staff was super kind and patient while we sampled quite a few options before making our final picks. (They didn't rush us at all, which was really appreciated.) I ended up going with the Strawberry Basil Gelato, which was light, refreshing, and surprisingly delicious--especially considering I don't usually go for strawberry anything. But this combo? It was giving elevated, not-too-sweet, and just the right balance. I think I'm officially in my icy era... we've done snowballs, Italian ices, and now gelato--so I'm fully committed to the frozen life right now. Is it dog friendly? Not quite. Dogs aren't allowed inside, but they do have outdoor seating where you can sit with your pup, so we'll call it half dog-friendly. Lexi got to enjoy the vibes from the patio, at least. And a fun little moment: we were the first ever customers to get our passport stamped here! That's becoming a bit of a trend for us, and it honestly feels like an honor each time. We love supporting local businesses, and this one definitely earned its place on the passport. The only reason you got a four is because you're not dog friendly on the inside
