Hudson Beach Ice Cream Parlor

Got a LOT of ice cream for our money! The ice cream is absolutely amazing an the servers are very sweet! Definitely would return here again!

Sometimes when you make a decision you never know how it is going to turn out. We decided to forego the interstate and take the back roads. We ran across this ice cream parlor about the time we were getting hungry. It was standing room only when we came in., but then we noticed there is a huge patio and back yard. The servers were really friendly, and the ice cream was awesome. They were doing karaōke in the back yard, and so we decided to stick around and watch the fun. I got the peanut butter buster, and my date got a chocolate death kind of mixture. Needless to say they were both awesome. As an added treat, they have all kinds of bottled soada that you never see anywhere else. Truly thankful for taking the road less traveled.

Order anything on the menu and you won’t be dissapointed. This is a locals «secret place». I came in here with my brood while running errands once and it has become our family stop in Hudson. My boys always order the banana split and the Nathan’s original hot dog, hubby the Mighty Dog along with a lemon italian ice, and I order the classic pumpkin pie or the orange creansickle float. The staff always greet us and make our order fast and correct. Their prices are VERY reasonable and won’t break the bank if you stop by with your family. They offer high chairs for your kids and are very kid friendly and PATIENT. They have a super man icecream (pretty cool for kids becuase of all the colors) and birthday cake icecream that we recently tried and have become my boy’s favorite. We came here for the iceceam 9 yrs ago but keep coming back for the service and great food.

Some of the best ice cream I’ve had!
About a ¾ mile walk from Hudson «Beach» is this ice cream parlor. Not a bad walk, and you’ll need to burn the calories anyways.
The ladies working here are über friendly and don’t mind you asking to try flavors.
I usually indulge in the cappuccino with bits in it (sorry, couldn’t remember the specific name) or the Gator Tracks. The cappuccino has espresso bits, coffee, swirl, and chocolate chips. The Gator Tracks is basically rocky road. The black cherry is delicious as well but I love my chocolate and coffee :)
Be sure to come here on Sunday nights for karaōke. Most are not very good, but its still fun and you might get a few American Idol worthy guests.
Totally worth a trip!

All the girls are very friendly and there are so many flavors and toppings to choose from. Warning: not for the indecisive, but you will love it. Great family outing. You can enjoy the AC and all the decorations or sit outside by the canal and enjoy your mile high ice cream cone or hot dog or nachos whatever you like. Don’t miss out. Check it out today

Read about this parlor here on Unilocal!So we decided to try it. All seven patrons were very satisfied. I’m thinking one more visit before vacation is over!

Great service and so many good choices! We loved it! Very clean. I couldn’t decide between the peanut butter or raspberry, I went with the raspberry. My husband for the birthday cake, both were delicious.

We’ve been to this place a couple of times. Like everyone else who posted, I really thought the ice cream was home made as there are signs all over the place saying it. It’s not which is kind of misleading. With that being said the variety is good and so is the ice cream. The place is clean and the prices are reasonable. We will be back. The 50’s décor is nice to look at. I love little local places like this.

Cute little ice cream shop down by Hudson Beach. It’s decorated in 50’s and 60’s type theme. It’s very bright and cheerful and the staff is always happy and very attentive. There are a lot of flavors to choose from, including sugar free and low fat offerings. Most of the ice creams are home made on the premises. They also sell Italian Ices and Sherbets.
In addition to their sweet treats, you can get a Nathan’s Hot Dog served in about 6 different ways from the Nathan’s Original (New York Style) to a Nathan’s Chicago Dog (pickle, tomato wedges and pepper). There are also chili dogs or you can get a cup of chili by itself. For $ 4.49, you can get a Specialty Dog with either chips, chili or coleslaw and a can of soda or bottle of water. Not a bad deal for a quick snack.
Their ice cream menu changes almost daily so you need to watch for the new and seasonal flavors that come out. (Check here:
) Of course, they always have the old staples and stand-by’s like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mint chip, chocolate chip and cookie dough. But, I highly recommend some of their specialty flavors like Birthday Cake with real chunks of white vanilla cake running through it, Captain’s Rum Raisin which is a rum flavored ice cream with sweet raisins soaked in Captain Morgan Rum (NOT for the kiddies!) and Dulce Du Leche which is a vanilla ice cream with a burnt caramel base and golden caramel cream swirled throughout it. Then, they have seasonal flavors which consist of Pumpkin Pie ice cream, Peppermint ice cream and my favorite seasonal one, Pumpkin Cheesecake which is the pumpkin ice cream with big chunks of cheesecake tossed in. Every once in awhile, you happen in there when the Salted Caramel is on special. Definitely grab that one! It’s delicious.
They have waffle cones, cups, sprinkles, chocolate toppings, marshmallow toppings, strawberry toppings, whipped cream, regular cones, hot caramel, hot fudge, huge celebrity sundaes, floats made to order, milk shakes, etc. Whatever your sweet tooth desires, they have it here in this little ice cream shop. You can also take a hand packed pint to go if you don’t have time to wait around. Sitting in the shop is really nice. It’s clean, very bright, the bathroom is always spotless and the counter is always nice and shiny. The ice creams are clearly marked.
What makes this place really different is their Sunday night Karaōke. From 6 to 10 pm, under their outdoor awning, you can sing along with the stars, under the stars! There is usually a decent size crowd sitting around, eating their ice cream and just listening as someone is up there entertaining. Everyone is very polite and nice and usually will sing along with you. It’s a fun place to stop to kill an hour or so or keep the kids entertained for a bit while they eat their ice cream.
For the past 8 years, this family owned business has been a staple here in Hudson and a really nice place to relax in after you have taken in a Hudson sunset. It’s always a good time.
Half star removed for the «regulars» at karaōke who sometimes don’t give other people the opportunity to sing. They tend to be older folks who hog the song books and don’t let others get involved. Some nights are better than others but most of the time, you have to pry the song books out of their cold, dying hands. The other half star removed because the waffle cones aren’t home made. You can taste the difference, but the delicious ice cream more than makes up for that.

This place is the best ever. Great food, wonderful service. The girl that runs this place is incredible. Everyone needs to stop here. Whenever we have visitors we always bring them by.

What an ice cream shop!!! Never been to an ice cream shop as unique as this. This place is decorated in the 50’s and 60’s theme. Lots of flavors to choose from including my favorite, Salted Caramel… yummy! The staff was very friendly and the place was super clean. I will definitely be back! (Elvis Sundae looked really good to… next trip!)

I can’t even begin to put into words how much I love it here — but I will try my best anyway! My sister had told me about this gem and how I needed to try it — particularly the salted caramel! I went 4 or 5 times in my trip down to visit family, and everytime I went I had salted caramel mixed with one of their other flavors — a win with everything!
My first adventure was salted caramel with praline cream — the salted caramel was the star, soooo amazing, but the praline cream was a little lost in it. So I tried again the next day with Salted Caramel and Butter Pecan — that’s the winner! These perfectly compliment. The NY Cheesecake flavor is also lovely.
Servers here are friendly, and Sunday is Karaōke — always a fun and delicious stop!

This is a wonderful little spot in Hudson. The portions are a bit big if you’re in the mood for a taste of something sweet after a decent-​sized meal, but it’s top shelf for going bonkers when ice cream is the order of the day. There are creative combinations on the menu and the staff has always been willing to pull together something on request whenever I was in the mood for something different. I’ll hit that spot each time I’m in the area because I’m that much of a fan.

get the Slaw dog! then do some ice cream… oooooh…sooooo Goood! My wife was thrilled that I brought her here on a date1 Loved the atmospheree… the décor was well done and the ice cream hit the spot on a hot florida day. will try and get back here again asap

Ice cream was second to a friendly staff member who seemed to love her job and made it a delight to be there. I wish I knew her name because she was kind and patient with my 4 year old.

I go here every time I visit from out if town and the milkshakes are to die for. Don’t miss on the good olé fashion oldies with great music and awesome desserts!

The only reason I’m not giving them 5 stars is because when asked the girl said their waffle comes are not homemade. A homemade waffle cone MAKES an ice cream, IMHO.
The salted caramel was labeled as a favorite and it lived up to its reputation. So good! I tasted some nuts in their too.
It’s a cute, clean shop located on a canal of Hudson Beach. If you’re in the area, it’s worth the pit stop.

try thier creamcicle special… yum and very generous helpings too.

When this place first opened it was never expected to last, and thank goodness it did.
It lightens up that little corner on the way to Hudson beach.
Idk if the ice cream is truly homemade or not, but it is certainly good.
They also make AWESOME shakes out of any flavor. Pumpkin shake or butter pecan shake… YES!
They get involved with the community, so go get involved with them!

On the way to Hudson Beach is a little spot called Hudson Beach Ice Cream Parlor. The place is clean and bright and decorated in a 50s diner style with oldies blaring. They have a nice selection of ice cream and (for my father) a smaller selection of sugar free. They also a few hot items– think hot dogs, basic sandwiches.
My three year old LOVES their Superman ice cream. Basically it is vanilla ice cream dyed an outrageous array of colors– bright blue, yellow and red. Making a mess is probably half of the fun!
They are open year round, because it rarely really gets cold in Florida. This little shop is now a required stop when we are in Hudson.
*As a side note– I added this business to
in summer 2010 and it magically disappeared from the site. I am adding it again, we’ll see what happens!
