5. Scoops Ice Cream & Acai Bowls
📍 2378 Immokalee Rd
📍 15215 Collier Blvd #318
Scoops is big on variety with 50+ flavors and is proudly owned by Naples locals. Thankfully, they also do a four-scoop ice cream flight which lets you try several flavors without committing to just one. Fan favorites include Cookie Monster, Butterscotch Crunch, and Parking Lot Party (vanilla with swirls of fudge and caramel, topped with Oreo and Heath bits). Delish!
4. Naples Ice Cream Shoppe
📍 1269 Airport Pulling Rd S
A no-frills, local ice cream shop with more than 30 flavors, plus vegan and sorbet options. This is a charming after dinner pit stop when you have family visiting. They also do fun spins like sundae-wiches and milkshakes. They have a rich peanut butter chocolate flavor that is a personal favorite.
3. Royal Scoop
📍 829 Vanderbilt Beach Rd
📍 7335 Radio Rd # 104
Royal Scoop is a Bonita institution since 1979 with two locations in Naples. This is the family-friendly, classic American ice cream shop serving generous scoops in every flavor you can think of with many fun choices for the kids. It’s a no-brainer pit stop after the beach, and one scoop is plenty filling, ideally in one of their homemade waffle bowls.
