Top-notch ice cream place and fantastic service! Fantastic flavors and options and they have great trinkets and even souvenirs of Sebastian. We will be visiting again and again. This may be fast coming one of my favorite places in Sebastian. Love it's close proximity to Riverview Park, the splash pad, and the water. read more

July was a scorcher, and days like that call for ice cream. I searched my trusty Yelp app and found that Paradise Ice Cream was located in the area I was working in that day. The shop is located in a shopping center and offers indoor and outdoor seating. The customer service was excellent as the lady who helped me provided a little bit of history on the different flavors that are natural and freshly made. The samples help me decide, but best of all, you can mix and match your selection. read more

Paradise Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sebastian, Florida

The ice cream is always amazing and the service is great - staff are super kind. The inside ambiance is nice but the outside has a view of the river so it's hard to beat. We've gone many times and never been disappointed because of how good it is. (P.S. I recommend the garbage can, toasted coconut, stellar coffee, and raspberry chocolate flavors.) read more

Wonderful experience! The staff members were very kind and the ice cream was wonderful.

Walked in store and the people could not control the line out the door, we got served by a bigger lady with an attitude right off the bat, she was asking questions about every order in my party, I asked for a regular waffle cone and in response was given a lot of attitude and questioned if I really wanted the "homemade or regular" and held them up in my face to confirm. We also ordered the citrus bliss sherbet and said "it's not citrus bliss, it's only orange" and belittled what I ordered. Not only was the service not great but also the price of 2 smalls, 1 medium, and a milkshake that was not even full...! was $30. I wish they had more vegan options as well, as they didn't do well to cater to my son's dairy allergy. read more

I was sooo happy to find somewhere with dairy free soft-serve ice cream. They had orange dole whip & vanilla soft-serve. They also had dairy free raspberry sorbet that looked so good too. They also had so many flavors for regular ice cream. We will definitely be returning here! read more

Yum! Nice spot near the riverfront, they have a variety of cone selection as well as ice cream flavors! Seating is available inside and outside. Our service was polite, efficient, and friendly! I'll be back as often as I can! read more

Stopped in after dinner and the two workers treated me and my family very rudely. I was deciding what flavor I wanted and the woman rudely told me to hurry up and that I "wasn't picking a car". They were rude to my children when the ordered by themselves as well. Very disappointed by the customer service and definitely way too expansive for ice cream. The ice cream was good however. read more

That was the best ice cream I've had in a very long time. There were generous amounts of Praline incorporated in the cream. You might think it is expensive but for the size scoop and the quality of the ice cream it is not expensive. The 2 employees were appropriately pleasant while being efficient and keeping the line moving. It's going to be hard for my husband to keep me away...maybe our Sunday treat. read more

Stopped by for ice cream after dinner since it was on our way home. Three employees were working: two females who were very welcoming, and one male. I wanted mint ice cream in a waffle cone but was told it was too hard to scoop, yet the customer before me received it without issue. When my husband asked about a military discount, the male employee at the register responded unprofessionally, saying the owner didn't like military members he worked with before, so no discount was offered. While eating, the male employee loudly complained with profanity, which wasn't appropriate for a family environment. Thankfully, we're not local and won't be returning. read more

the ice cream was mediocre at best and on top of that I kept getting dirty looks from staff. I work in customer service and I understand some days can be hard but as I stand in line the older women and her employee kept making slide remarks about how "I look like I need ice cream I suppose these were jabs at my weight from the tone they were using I've never expected this sort of treatment especially from smaller businesses it was really the worst customer service I could of had i mean its ice cream why should I be feeling judged for giving you business read more

Found this place almost a year ago and now make a point to stop here every time I am in the area. Never had a bad flavor of ice cream. Always exceptional service, especially the man who served us on Sunday night. Our favorite is the banana split, highly recommend! Get the punch card because you'll definitely be back. read more

We went to the Italian cousin and then for a walk along the river. After our walk, we were ready for an ice cream. We went to Paradise Ice Cream which was visible from the water. I had a scoop of Butter Pecan in a peanut and chocolate waffle cone. The ice cream was very creamy and buttery. The pecans were firm and crunchy not soft and soggy like they are at other venues. Also, they did not have any bitterness like some other venues. My daughter had the Cookie Dough ice cream. She said it was delicious. I could see large chunks of cookie as you was gobbling it up. The counter help was friendly and funny and you can't beat the view. If you're in the area, stop by. You won't be sorry. read more

Honestly can't comment on the food as I didn't even up trying it. This is more about the service. Went in a little over a week ago with my two kids. Wasn't closing time yet, but was heading that way. Won't get into what they were and were not willing to do as they had already cleaned up. But basically scoops only. No big deal. I get it. My issue is with the snarky, rude ass comments from the twenty something guy with the beard. You probably thought we were JUST tourists. So it was ok to be an ass. We actually live very close by. I'm either case it's not ok. You're not funny bud! You're just rude and from a kids perspective mean. Actually, you seemed to enjoy being rude so I'll say that I found you too be a bit mean and thoughtless myself. How we do things matters. read more

WISH I COULD GIVE 0 STARS Went kayaking in Sebastian with my boyfriend and all we wanted was some ice cream so we went to paradise where we've both been plenty of times. The lady working there didn't even greet us and just stared at us waiting for us to order. We got the double brownie sundae. The "hot fudge" wasn't working so she used a ladle to put cold thick chocolate on it then proceeded so smear it with the same spoon she gave us to eat it with. There was a very little amount of ice cream and The brownies were not warmed. There was minimal whipped cream. She also only gave us one spoon and one cherry when you could clearly tell it was for two people. I kindly went in and asked for a refund because this was not a $9 ice cream. She got very defensive and told me there was no refunds and suggested to throw it away if we didn't like it. The customer service was terrible and I didn't even touch my ice cream. We ended up going somewhere else for ice cream and will continue to in the future. RECOMMENDED ICE CREAM: pops ice cream (same wholesale ice cream) or train depot. Both are in town and small businesses! read more

With the temperatures starting to rise, this is my favorite stop for a delicious ice cream!! Particularly love the orange twist soft serve! It's so refreshing and I love that they make it blatantly obvious there are lactose free options! (I've gotten attitude in other ice cream shops when I've walked in and asked if they have non dairy options, So I don't like to ask and am happy when it's posted!) The customer service is always amazing! If you ever have the pleasure of meeting Sierra or Brandon (along with all the other employees, it will be a truly magical experience! read more

What a treat on the shores of the gorgeous river in Sebastian. Ice cream was good with wide selection of flavors for sure! Good quality. The young ladies working Karen and Alissa truly made me want to be a return customer with their exuberant, friendly and accommodating personalities. I would just adopt these two doll babies and they were that lovely to every single person that came through. Nice little spot I will make my Friday night treat! read more

Great ice cream and very nice/helpful staff. Punch cards are a great addition! Would be happy to go any time I am in town.

I tried this place for the first time two weeks back, and while I wasn't blown away by any means, the experience was fine enough to return, particularly because my 4-year-old daughter enjoyed it. Well, I went back again this past weekend, and I can no longer view this place favorably after this second visit, due to the vile woman who was working. My daughter--at just a ripe 4 years of age--is fully bilingual in English and Spanish. She speaks to me only in Spanish, because this is the expectation I have established in our household. Upon realizing that we were conversing in Spanish, the wretched woman, for some unfathomable reason, decided that it would not be uncouth to make a crass, racist remark about my young child, saying, "she's just going on saying she really wants her borders crossed!". I can't wrap my head around why someone would deem it at all appropriate or socially acceptable to make an ignorant remark of this style to a complete stranger in the first place. However, it is downright appalling and inexcusable that someone would dare to do so in reference to an innocent minor child. You should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves. At the end of the day, my child's multilingualism is a gift--and with the exception of having to be subjected to such nastiness, like in this incident at "Paradise Ice Cream"--it is something that will greatly benefit her in life. It is a sign of her high level of intelligence and education--clearly something that the classless woman behind the counter knows absolutely nothing about. read more

Homemade waffle cones were fresh and delicious. Hubby had a banana split and enjoyed it. Staff was very friendly. Assortment of ice cream was very large., read more

The ice cream was great!! Had to go outside because of some sort of scent. Air freshener or something. Other patrons were outside for same reason. Asked the teens behind the counter (3 of them) what it was and was promptly and rudely told there was nothing. No scent. Probably won't go back as I'm highly allergic perfumes and folks who don't value my dollar! read more

Ice cream was incredible. The staff gave my son extra gummies, too! We got chocolate, cookies and cream, and rainbow sherbet. Don't miss this spot! read more

We go here at least once a week. They have a big selection of ice cream. They also hand make their waffle cones and bowls! I usually get one scoop, which is plenty. I also love their frappuccinos, caramel is my favorite. They have a couple of tables inside and share an outdoor patio area with the brewery next door. It's right by the river, a playground and a nice park. read more

The ice cream is so yummy! I had the hardest time picking a single flavor cause there were so many options, and they all looked delicious! I got the "c" is for cookie, pumpkin, and almond coconut flavors (told ya, I couldnt decide). They were all so yummy! My husband got a soft serve and hot fudge sundae that they layered for him. The service was friendly as well! I would recommend if you are wanting a good ice cream in the area! read more

This place is amazing! It really feels nostalgic and the prices are great! After taking a dip in the pool at our hotel, we decided some ice cream was the way to go and this absolutely hit the spot. They have over 40 different flavors and they can even mix some of them together for you. I will be back tomorrow or maybe later today. read more

My whole family loved all the flavors. I had dark choc raspberry and a scoop of stellar coffee.

Lots of flavors, great prices. I got a combo of 4 flavors and i am happy with them all. If you are looking for an ice cream place, this place will not disappoint. read more

Typical ice cream place. However, the only reason I felt inclined to write a review was because of the rude employee. A plastic piece fell off the wall where the candy was. He was completely rude rolled his eyes at me and didn't ring me up until he huffed and puffed trying to find where the piece fit. I told him to have a good day and he once again rolled his eyes and didn't say a word. read more

Awesome ice cream and clean place with friendly staff! Lots of souvenirs to shop for and a great ice cream selection!

Great place and location. They have non-fat frozen yogurt!!! Horay!!!

Delicious ice cream in a nice, clean shop but they serve smallest scoops I've ever seen. You have to order the next cup size up from what you really want and even then portions are stingy. Idk if it's bc the nice older ladies working here can't physically scoop it or if they are trying to be frugal. Also, if you order a flavor with mix-ins, several times I've seen them scoop around the "good stuff" and am left with a scoop of basically plain ice cream. Kind of a rip off. read more

This place has a wide variety of ice cream flavors, cone choices and if you're in need of some beach wear and gifts they have that too. Even though we didn't sample any of them, there seem to be a small selection of baked Italian desserts such as cannoli available as well. My son got a milkshake which definitely got two thumbs up from him. Because they seem to get things in small batches I would recommend going earlier in the day than later, as there were several items that were out by 8:00 PM. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I even noticed on several of our items that when they only had half a scoop or so left they had them select another flavor to fill out the rest of the cone. read more
