Very friendly staff! DELICIOUS homemade ice cream! Toasted coconut was like eating the best coconut cream pie in ice cream form. We will definitely visit here again and again!!! read more

Really tasty ice cream. The homemade are especially delicious. My only complaint is that a 5 single scoops of ice cream shouldn't cost $49 dollars read more

This is a bold statement - but Pete's might be the BEST ice cream I've ever had. We went every single day on our recent visit to Orange Beach. They hand make every flavor every day. So, so good. The quality is awesome. And the staff were so nice. Brandy served us each day, and let us try many different flavors. We loved watching her whip up the new batches. Would absolutely go back, and wish we lived closer! read more

My husband has a severe nut allergy and normally can't get anything when we go to ice cream places but we were SO happy when the lady at the front told us they are a totally nut free facility!!! We were both able to enjoy the amazing homemade ice cream!! We will definitely be back!! read more

This seems like a newer little shop. The day we went, there were no donuts. The ice cream was delicious but expensive. The ice cream was very creamy and they had a good selection of flavors. We got four one-scoop cones (three waffle and one cake) and the total was $53. They also had candy and t-shirts for sale. I would go again on a special occasion but it would not be my regular spot just due to cost. read more

It's been over a year since they opened and I just visited here for the first time and I was quite impressed. Pete's Ice Cream and Donuts is a delightful family-owned and operated establishment located on Perdido Beach Blvd in Orange Beach, with a street address of 8 Market St, Orange Beach, AL. Since opening its doors in 2023, they've quickly gained popularity for its delicious homemade ice cream and fresh donuts. It was founded by Pete and his wife, who wanted to create a place where families could enjoy high-quality, homemade treats. Gotta say again, impressed. First of all, the atmosphere at Pete's Ice Cream and Donuts is very clean, bright but warm and inviting, with a family-friendly vibe. The interior has a rustic yet modern design, with plenty of seating options, both inside and out for guests.  Let's talk ice cream, they source their cream straight from a dairy, and other ingredients direct from Italy, with fresh seasonal fruits, no nuts, and absolutely no premixes!  You can watch from behind the glass as all of the fresh ingredients are put into the ice cream machine, and observe how skillfully the magic is made. The flavors will change daily as due to the  sourcing of those freshest ingredients.  Now let's talk donuts, The best way that can sum up my impression of their donuts is this, if a Dunkin Donut & a Krispy Kreme donut had a baby. LOL I'm a big fan of both of those so suffice it to say that I really like these Pete's donuts. Indeed they make their  donuts fresh every morning, and once again you can watch!  Behind the big glass windows inside, watch our Donut Masters hand roll and cut your future donut. They say on their FB page "We know hot donuts are the only way to eat donuts." So there's a Krispy Kreme fave of mine :-) Pete's offers an array of services and amenities, including: - Homemade ice cream in various flavors - Freshly made donuts with unique daily options - A selection of hot and cold beverages - Indoor and outdoor seating - Catering services for events and parties - Ice cream flavors: Classic options like vanilla and chocolate, as well as seasonal favorites like pumpkin spice and peppermint - Donuts: Traditional glazed donuts, cake donuts, and filled donuts, with a rotating selection of special flavors - Beverages: Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and soft drinks And don't forget to try the Pete's Over The Top Special!  What is that you ask?  Imagine eating the freshest ice cream you've have had since your mom made it on your countertop as a child, toss a big serving of that ice cream on top of a  fresh, and most importantly, hot donut! WOW!  So far I have had their salted caramel and toasted coconut ice creams and it is so rich and creamy that you can't imagine so delish without experiencing it for yourself. Trust me it is crazy good and I'll be coming back for more! The carmel and lemon filled donuts were very good, as was the apple fritter so checking the boxes.  Like I said the place is very clean, with a health dept score of 100 plus they have a nice assortment of candies and cool merch, too.  Bottom line: Pete's Ice Cream and Donuts offers a unique and enjoyable experience for locals and visitors alike in Orange Beach. With its welcoming atmosphere, homemade treats, and excellent customer service, Pete's is a real  sweet indulgence by the beach! Highly recommended!!!!! Hours:  Open seven days a week: Monday - Thursday: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM Friday - Saturday: 11:00 AM - 11:00 PM Sunday: 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM To learn more about Pete's Ice Cream and Donuts, visit their Facebook at:   facebook.com/petesicecreamanddonuts. read more

Eh. There was only one girl working another running around that wasn't helping with anything. The place was clean and she was nice, but the donuts weren't that great and my girls did not like the ice cream. read more

I got the strawberry and the hubs got cookies & cream and chocolate. Delicious!!! And the employees were super friendly and helpful! read more

I'm not local to this area but the ice cream was very good! I got the mint cookies and cream. Cool little ice cream shop if you've got a sweet tooth. read more

Drove by Pete's and figured, Aw heck! Why not! Did a U-turn, almost took out some garbage cans, but TOTALLY WORTH IT!! The salted caramel ice cream could very well be the best I've ever had! Our service was terrific, the place was spotless. I highly recommend this hidden gem! read more

Funky flavors with a weird after taste . Wife got a lemon that was ok, other better ice cream choices

If I could give this place negative stars, I'd slap it with a black hole. First off, the woman who served us looked like she'd been personally offended by the concept of customer service. Somewhere in her 40s and already over life, she greeted us with all the warmth of a DMV employee during a printer outage. The ice cream? Overpriced sadness in a bowl. I ordered cookie dough, but what I got was a scoop of bland, possibly-angry vanilla with specks of cookie dough candy that must've escaped from a $1 movie theater snack pack. I also got "hot" fudge -- which was neither hot nor fudge. It was more like tepid brown regret. And because I dared to order fudge, they threw it into a sad, generic plastic bowl instead of their normal cups, as if to say, "You chose poorly." The place was clean, I guess, in the same way a dentist's waiting room is clean -- sterile and soul-sucking. They had like six flavors total, and somehow three of them were different types of cookies and cream. It's like they gave up halfway through the menu and just started cloning the same flavor in hopes no one would notice. In short: it was a joyless scoop of disappointment topped with rudeness and served lukewarm. Would rather lick a subway pole read more

Cookie dough ice cream was lacking flavour, and we couldn't buy a small scoop so a lot was wasted.

I'm still shocked at the prices for ice cream, but this place is in line with all the others in the area. Very tasty. Decent selection of flavors. read more

This is a MUST try. Literally the creamiest ice cream I've ever had. The donuts are also AMAZING. The staff is so friendly and pleasant! The salted caramel ice cream and Cookie Monster are 10/10! Couldn't take photos because it was gone too quick read more

Looking for fresh ingredients used to make ice cream and sorbet? Pete's Ice cream is for you! We enjoyed many samples before making our final decision. Generous portion sizes for this high quality ice cream. This time we chose a great combo of Andes Mint and Cookie Dough. Salted Carmel and Toasted Coconut was another combo we enjoyed. Let's just say we will be back for more in the very near future. read more

Very clean, chill and tasty ice cream. Nut free facility. Blackberry lemonade sherbet was nice and tangy

The ice cream was worse than ones you can buy at the sketchiest gas station. It was almost TEN dollars for a tiny cup with "two" scoops in it but the scoops were half full both times. My friend and I walked in there to get coffee because they advertise it as a coffee ice cream and donuts place, but the only option was black coffee and very limited ice cream flavors. We asked for a kids scoop because we didnt want a lot of ice cream, the guy working asked, "whos it for?" and then denied us service unless we bought the double scoop. This whole time he was rude and passive aggressive. THEN at the check out counter after paying 9.50 for a tiny ice cream, they ask for a tip. I do NOT recommend this place. If I could give this 0 stars i would. read more

Look no further for your ice cream and donut needs! First off, they're super awesome people. Secondly, Everything is made fresh. Ice cream and donuts! You can see them make the ice cream and donuts. Donuts are soft chewy and super fresh tasting. Ice cream is super creamy, definitely not your normal ice cream shop. Come on over and enjoy the atmosphere and delicious homemade goodies! read more

Fun cute place! Ice cream top notch! Kids loved it and had it every night! Loved that the flavors changed daily.

Ice cream was good but not many options flavor-wise. Not too sure I would go again but like wouldn't be mad if I did. IT was good just nothing mind blowing read more

The best ice cream we have ever had! I cannot get over how fresh and tasty it was. My husband and I love ice cream and are so happy we found this spot. It is locally owned and the owner was so kind and told us all about how he makes the ice cream fresh. They have a cool ice cream server that spins. The coconut ice cream was to die for! Every sample we tried was amazing. It was hard to pick. We look forward to coming back again. read more

First trip and not our last- exceptional chocolate/strawberry ice cream. Facility neat- clean and folks very friendly. Plenty of choices for our next trip. Then we will try their donuts read more

Overpriced ice cream and donuts. Donuts were just okay. There are better and cheaper options around orange beach and gulf shores that are open year round. read more

Nice and inviting building with some of life's must have's, ice cream & donuts. They open just a few days ago and I decided I needed to start my week off right. So delicious ! read more

The ice cream was so good! We went multiple times during our stay and tried multiple flavors.

Yum!!!! Donuts in the morning and Ice Cream in the evening! What could be better. Pete was awesome, as was his sister! Great customer service, clean facility and endless samples to make sure you get exactly what you want!! Definitely make this a stop on your list- definitely the best ice cream I have had!! The vanilla tops them all!! read more

Really good donuts, you can tell they are freshly made. They don't have a huge variety but they have enough of a selection. I wish I had discovered this place on our first day in the area. read more

Great Ice cream. Their isn't many places that carry blueberry . Was a real treat. Will definitely return

I'm sure the ice cream was descent, but I can't get past the $8 cup and $11 x 2 waffle cones we got. $33 for 3 people some basic ice cream is ridiculous. The workers did not crack a smile the whole time we ordered and ate. I would not go back, unless I hit the jackpot lottery! read more

Delish and so friendly. They have so many original flavors of ice cream and sorbet. We totally enjoyed.

This place is a great addition to Orange Beach - especially if you're staying across the street at Phoenix West II. You can tell the ice cream is homemade and fresh! We enjoyed every flavor we sampled but ended up with the key lime sorbet and strawberry lemonade sorbet. Pete was very welcoming and kind! The ice cream dispenser is also really cool. We will be back during our next trip! read more

Walked in as a group of 6 (2 adults, 4 kids), and the employee that greeted us went "oh great, here we go" with a huge eye roll. Limited flavors, NO donuts available, and absolutely no toppings (our kids are big sprinkles fans). Very disappointing after reading many reviews on yelp and Facebook about Pete's. We'll try the ice cream store next to Walmart next time. read more

Delicious and unique ice cream flavors. Staff was kind, despite a very late and busy night!

Good ice cream but $8 for a scoop seems steep. Very little donuts available. Employees stared at us making it feel like we couldn't take a little time to look at the menu or flavor options. read more

Homemade ice cream, but no toppings. The ice cream itself was very good and smooth. I had the chocolate and my boyfriend had the lemon cookie flavor. read more

Went to Pete's Ice Cream and Donuts during our first visit to Orange Beach. Only one car in the parking lot when we got there. A homemade sign on the door said "No we are not making Donuts today". Apparently, that's seasonal. I asked when is the donut season? Girl behind the counter answered, from after Memorial Day through summer...In spite of this, We were hypnotized by the spinning fridge of flavors and still paid $8 each to try ice cream. It was cold and sugary. read more

Great location and very well maintained. The staff was fantastic and very knowledgeable about their menu. We purchased donuts for breakfast and they were the best we've had. After dinner we took our family for ice cream. All ice cream is made in house and it was fantastic. This is a great addition to our community! We will definitely return. read more

The staff at Pete's is super friendly and top notch! They took care of us and even gave us a scoop of chocolate on the house for my three year old! The building was welcoming and bright and my son loved the colors. We will definitely be back read more
