The Frieze Ice Cream Factory

Ice cream fell flat in my mouth, it just didn’t take me there. On a Saturday night while strolling around Lincoln Road mall, we decided to get some yummy ice cream. We walked and walked and skipped some ice cream shops we had already been to because we wanted something a little more elevated. A little less average. Our friends found this spot and after checking out all the reviews, almost a 5 star review, we came to The Frieze! Their ice creams have zero preservatives nor additives. That right there is what drew us in! They also have a whole section of dairy free too. Customer service: deserves way more than 5 stars Ice cream: 3 stars Let me explain myself. As soon as we walked in we were greeted (all 9 of us). They kindly and patiently explained to us how their menu worked and how their ice creams were made. They let each one of us taste at least 5 flavors without getting annoyed or flustered about it (like every other idea cream shop gets). It was a young crowd serving ice cream, they were extremely accommodating and welcoming. They’re the reason why I ordered my cone! Ok, so the ice cream, this is what you want to know about right? I have no complaints about it, I’m honestly happy with it and relieved to know that it’s zero preservatives, it’s untouched, the way it should be. Unfortunately, I’ve had way better explosions in my mouth with ice cream from other locations. This ice cream was good, it was edible, it also wasn’t too cheap. For a $7+ waffle cone with two scoops, I kind of expect more. It’s not about the price, it’s about the experience in my mouth. My taste buds were the judge and they weren’t impressed. I honestly would love to give these guys 5 stars but truthfully I just can’t. Would I go back to eat ice cream here? No. It’s nothing personal, just with so many other choices this didn’t impress me. Kudos to you guys for being preservative free, my thing is enhance what you have! Make me addicted so I can come back! I don’t regret coming here, it was fun! If I find myself in the same are again I most likely will not pick this place first. Cool spot, for pics, for ice cream art, for ice cream. You might love it, so try it for yourself. IMPORTANT DETAIL: almond pistachio flavor was delicious! Not the best pistachio I’ve ever had but definitely good!

A local favorite, family-owned and operated for decades. Homemade ice cream and sorbet with classic and adventurous flavors. The Frieze Ice Cream Factory is tops. My wife and I even took some of our engagement photos here! Pro-tip: Go for the Get Down Boogie Oogie Cookie. Hands down the best version of cookies and cream ice cream I’ve had — globally.

Wonder ice cream shop. This ice cream shop is small but the staff members are so friendly and kind to everyone. The prices are fair and definitely the best in Miami. My girlfriend and I visited another ice cream shop down the street after stopping by here and that was a big mistake. Troy served us while we were there and he sets the mood for the establishment. Keep up the good work.

Been here once with my girlfriend. We had a good time, thought it was okay. Nothing special, I've had better.

Is this real ice cream or is it sugar syrup, and just ice with a crazy concoction of leftover kids cereal and more sugar? Way too sweet; in fact my dental work began to tingle due to the over-saturation of sugar.
