you have to try out the bakery at Pinocchio's! I don't remember what we had but everything looked fabulous! The ice cream here is probably famous coz it's the only shop around the place!

Great place to grab a cone after a long walk on the Sanibel beach. Sanibel Krunch was a winner.

Stick with a SMALL it goes a long way! Adults can even order a child's size. You can't go wrong with any flavor. The Key Lime Hurricane is to die for!!

The gator stew ice cream is great! All their ice cream is homemade in their ice cream lab and their portions are enormous!

Their homemade custom flavors such as the dirty sand dollar are excellent. They have added gelato which exceeded my expectations.

The dirty sand dollar and Sanibel crunch flavors in a waffle cone are a must. You won't regret getting it. Trust me.

Unless you want a ton of ice cream, the kiddie size is plenty big enough for an evening treat. They pile it high!

So great. I'm lactose intolerant, but this is almost worth it. Get the dirty sand dollar!!

Sanibel Krunch is my favorite. But there isn't a bad flavor in the house.

A must visit if you are in Sanibel. Delicious Italian ice cream with a local touch ;)

Great ice cream at good prices. They don't gouge a captive audience.

Extremely Gluten-Free friendly. Ask for GF recommendations when ordering. Lots of selection and GF knowledge!

Except in the morning, this place is crowded. The crowdedness is due more to the poor layout of the place than to the quality of the ice cream, which is rather poor. Poco Loco is the better choice.

I highly recommend the Sanibel Krunch and the Vanilla Cherry!

try to house specialties... Wedding bells, dirty sand dollar and Sanibel Krunch, they're fantastic. And a small is really quite large.

Wedding bells flavor is THE BEST. If you like almond. It's also a signature flavor of theirs.

Loved the Pinocchio Hurricane! Worth the trip!!

Captiva Crunch is delicious. And the kiddie size is generous!

Don't miss the Captiva Crunch! It's the Sanibel Crunch with chocolate ice cream
Mary RohrbaughMarch 28, 2013
Dirty Sand Dollar!!! - kid size is plenty of anything they serve. Its all good :)
Ruby GeorgeOctober 11, 2013
Next time I'm going to DQs ....overrated...and the grumpy young man scooping ice cream put me in a bad mood...and...he had a tip jar...how funny!!!
Rob WMarch 28, 2012

Way good ice cream + huge servings = certain brain freeze
Sarah Scott KelbelMarch 15, 2012
Dont bother with the gelato...it is more like frozen yogurt and they only have 3 flavors
Sherri CoxMay 3, 2014
Chris loves Wedding Bells!!
jesseMarch 31, 2014
avoid long lines by avoiding the evening visit
Rich LaymanMarch 28, 2013
Dirty Sand Dollar is good, avoid the Mango. Layout is not designed to handle the crowds, so go off-peak.
Olivia TalmageJune 29, 2012
Love the animal crackers <3
Sean LDecember 27, 2012
The new setup is so awful. It's hard to believe how terribly designed it is. Worst designed place I've ever been to. Ice cream is worth it though.
