    Root Beer Float (comes with extra soda from the can on the side)
    Kathryn G.

    Love it! Went through the drive through on a Saturday evening around 7:30 and was in and out in under 5 minutes! I ordered just a small chocolate soft serve in a cup, and my boyfriend got the root beer float. The soft serve is so thick and decadent, and I loved how the root beer float came with the extra soda in the can that they didn't use so you can drink it or refill your float with it! Definitely will be back and recommend to others looking for a sweet treat!

    I come here once in a while, and I like their ice cream, flavor wise it's delicious, the service is prompt and fast, I usually go in an out in no time, they are polite and service is exceptional I usually order their shakes, chocolate dipped cones, and the last one I tried was the cherry dipped waffle cones and that was so good. I definitely recommend this location, and their ice cream and shakes in general

    Twistee Treat never fails when craving an after dinner treat or an all day treat. The store is easily identified for its cone shaped form. They sell soft serve ice cream in different forms. My go to is the cake cone with strawberry and chocolate, sometimes dipped in chocolate. This is my long time favorite. Other items include cookiewiches, waffle tacos, twirls and more. From the twirls the oreo twirl is amazing! I particularly like this location because it has outdoor seating and a drive-thru ( which is convenient on a rainy Florida day). I have always had great service here and the vibe is super chill. It gets busy at nights so be prepared to wait a little bit.

    A reliable spot for ice cream near UCF! Visited this past weekend and they were super quick with our orders. Ordered a small brownie and cheesecake twirl and it was just the sweet treat I needed. If you're a UCF student, show them your ID for a discount!

    What a concoction it reminds me of the ice cream taco I had has a kid chasing the ice cream truck down. I think we could elevate this flavor wise is if it was fresh made before serving instead of a frozen block. Taco 5/10 Ice Cream 7/10 Dip Cone 5/10

    I'm not a huge ice cream fan (which is probably a shock to a lot of people), but there's something about this building that screams ice cream. It makes you want to have something cold and creamy, even on a chilly 60 degree Florida evening. I'll admit, I know how to eat! Buuuuut, I do not know how to eat ice cream. It takes me forever because it's cold and it usually is all melty by the time I finish it. Cones are my enemy as it ends up dripping all over my hands and shoe and whatever else is underneath me (look out below). To solve this problem, I usually order in a cup or bowl, or I order a milkshake.. After eating Steak and Shake, then Taco Bell, I wasn't too hungry and wasn't going to get anything, but the Hershey's Syrup shake caught my eye. I asked the clerk behind the glass and he overexplained what Hershey's syrup was (as if?), then explained it's Hershey's syrup and vanilla ice cream by default (my word, not his) and you could put chocolate ice cream if you want. I did the classic vanilla and Hershey's syrup as that's what I used to make when I was a strapping young lad. I wanted to get one of the Waffle Tacos which looked good, but the price for one was 5.79, which seemed high. There were 4 different ones to choose from and maybe I'll get one when I'm in the mood to spend more and get less. Remember when Taco Bell had the Choice Taco? That was a match made in taco heaven (also known is my stomach). Mrs. S loves Twistee Treat and goes a lot more often, and I'll admit that when I'm in the mood for some ice cream, this place is on the short list of places to go. I may even tag along more often. Too bad I found this out in January! SOAB!

    I have a serious sweet tooth. And one of my go-to favorites is a simple soft serve cone with chocolate sprinkles. I normally frequent the Twistee Treat down the street but we happened to be near this location tonight. This is a newer location with decent seating and lighting. It's super clean and the staff were friendly and took care of us quickly. My soft serve was super thick and creamy, just like I like it. It really hit the spot! The menu varies from the other location so I gather the franchisees have a lot of control over their menus and pricing. The prices here are a little higher but seemed fair. The had a bunch of folks working and everyone was pretty busy; even on a chilly night in January. :)

    I always pass this place on the way to UCF campus but never stopped by but I always hear my friends raving about it so I decided to check it out. First off, the workers are really nice and if you have a UCF ID, you can get a discount! The portions are pretty big, I got a small waffle cone and my roommates got a small twirl and none of us finished it. Flavor wise, the ice cream melts pretty fast in comparison to other soft serves I've have around Orlando and it's more watery than creamy. The hot fudge topping was delicious but the s'mores crumbs I got tasted pretty stale. The waffle cone however, was crispy and the vanilla soft serve was a mediocre good vanilla but the strawberry soft serve was super artificial tasting. Might come back to try other things on the menu and give it another chance though!

    This is the first time that I have stopped at this particular location. Noticed closer to my house, I usually have gone to the one further east on East Colonial Drive heading towards Bithlo. My son and I both had the pistachio twirl with Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. I have always liked Twistee treats pistachio ice cream and the addition of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup was a great blend. The location was pretty busy with the drive-thru, however my son and I pulled up and walk to the window and were served in no time flat. Additional recommendations instead of the twirl would be the milkshakes, ice cream cones, pretty much anything on the menu. The next time you were in the mood for ice cream, I recommend a stop here. It is in front of me Denny's and next to where the old Taco Bell was.

    This ice cream was delicious! There were so many flavors and combinations and add ins it was hard to choose. I was rather boring, getting a small chocolate vanilla twist with rainbow sprinkles- but I had zero regrets, it was amazing. And it was huge for the price! A pleasant surprise was that when I walked up to the window with my dog, I was immediately offered a pup cup! Wally was thrilled- he really enjoyed his vanilla ice cream and mini cookie bone on top! Something to note though- they have no sugar free items on the menu.

    Always a delicious treat! Never disappointed here for some flavorful soft serve. My go-to is the vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles! Outdoor seating only. Prices are reasonable & service is average.

    I felt rushed at the window service since I guess they were trying to close to drive through only... It's my fault for ordering an ice cream cone on such a humid day. It melted so fast and it was very messy. They swiped my card like 5 times so hopefully there's no extra charges. Staff should be friendlier and offer more napkins when serving. I also think it would be more sanitary for staff to wear gloves while serving.

    Okay so let's start off with the good - very cool place, great addition to Orlando. Love the decor,…read moreworker was nice and let us sample, ice cream was delicious! Now the reason for the -1 star. First, its mills and the parking on a Tuesday was rough. This is a general issue, not specific to them but we had to drive around the lot for 10 minutes, then we decided to leave and look elsewhere ended up having to walk a decent amount. It was frustrating and inconvenient if you're meeting with others. Second, I'm kind of confused as to why if someone is ordering a normal scoop or soft serve we have to get a number and wait, I've never seen an ice cream place do that. I totally understand for speciality items but was a little surprised for ours - the place was packed so a lot of people were standing around waiting with their numbers. Overall it hit the spot and in my opinion was worth the hype; just make sure you're not in a rush!

    Craving the soft serve here and wanting to try the UBE…read more They offer samples of the custards if you are not sure which to get. I sampled the vanilla and ube. Both were delicious but the UBE stood out for me. This time it was not as packed and warm temp like it can be at times here. Ordered the Maiko Parfait in Ube : soft-serve with mochi balls, Japanese chestnut, adzuki red beans, sponge cake, corn flake, & agar jelly for $9ish. It was a delicious creamy not too sweet ube soft serve that had a delicious taste of ube. It was bright purple with the yummy-ness of this creamy ube flavor not the flavor im used to in filipino version ice creams. It had the mochi balls and chesnut - Corn flakes, Matcha sponge cake - Red beans, and jelly. I love this dessert. The interesting part of this soft serve - It was slow to melt! It was sturdy enough that when you take your time and enjoy it - It does not melt so fast unlike other soft serves. Would def come back again and get UBE!

    Matcha Cafe Maiko is a specialty matcha café focused entirely around Japanese-style matcha desserts…read moreand drinks. We walked into a cute and welcoming space with a menu built around showcasing matcha in different forms rather than treating it as just another flavor option. The atmosphere is cozy and fits the theme well, though seating is limited and it can get crowded during busy times, making it better suited for a quick dessert stop or grabbing a drink to enjoy nearby rather than settling in for a long visit. The main reason to visit is the matcha soft serve and dessert selection. The matcha flavor is noticeably rich and earthy, with a stronger tea profile compared to many sweeter matcha desserts. The soft serve has a smooth, creamy texture and works especially well in combinations like matcha shaved ice, floats, or parfait-style creations. The matcha shaved ice stands out with layers of shaved ice, matcha soft serve, red bean, mochi, and Japanese chestnuts, creating a dessert that has different textures in every bite. The combination of the creamy soft serve with the chewy mochi and the slight bitterness of the matcha creates a balanced dessert that does not rely solely on sugar for flavor. The drink menu gives plenty of ways to experience matcha, from hot and iced matcha drinks to floats and specialty creations. Options like matcha with ube, matcha lattes with foam, and hojicha drinks add variety for anyone who wants something beyond traditional matcha. The café also offers coffee options, which makes it easier for groups with different preferences to find something they enjoy. The matcha lattes are well balanced, with the earthy notes of the tea coming through clearly without being masked by milk or sweetness. Beyond matcha, the menu includes other Japanese-inspired desserts like taiyaki, mochi-based items, and seasonal offerings. The combination of traditional flavors and playful presentations makes the café feel like a dessert destination rather than just a drink shop. The desserts are also visually appealing, with the kind of presentation that makes them worth taking a photo before digging in. The taiyaki are crisp on the outside and filled with a sweet red bean paste that contrasts nicely with the cold soft serve. Service is friendly and helps keep the experience smooth even when the café is busy. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu and make it easy to choose between the many matcha options, offering clear descriptions of the flavor profiles and texture differences between the soft serve, shaved ice, and latte options. Because the café has a strong focus on quality matcha and specialty desserts, it can get popular during peak hours, so visiting outside the busiest times may make it easier to find seating and take your time with the menu. Matcha Cafe Maiko is a great spot for anyone who enjoys matcha or wants to try Japanese-style matcha desserts. The combination of rich matcha flavor, creative menu options, and a cozy café atmosphere makes it stand out from typical dessert shops. It feels like a place worth visiting when you want a matcha experience that goes beyond a basic latte, offering a dessert that feels both authentic and indulgent without being overly sweet.

    Another good ice cream place to add to my list of favorite places to go in Orlando!…read more The ice cream is a perfect combo of dense, soft, and creamy. From the top of the swirl to the very bottom of the inside of my cone, there was not a single air pocket to be found. I got the chocolate flavored ice cream, and every bite was chocolatey and creamy heaven. Now, if you know your desserts, the cone that is used is usually known as a chimney cake. It is a sweet pastry that is soft on the inside and has a glass-like crunchy exterior that is coated with cinnamon and sugar. It's a little like eating a cruffin, but with a crunchier exterior due to their special way of making it. Definitely worth trying at least once if you've never tried it before. Overall, if you're looking to impress a foodie with something sweet, decadent, and pretty, I'd say give this place a go. The ice cream is as perfect and delicious as you see it.
