Dreamette - Jacksonville
Dreamette
Description
Since 1948 the original Dreamette at Post and Edgewood remains a beloved Jacksonville staple offering creamy soft-serve, nostalgic 1950s music and playful shakes like the 'honeymoon.' Lines form, but service is brisk and staff friendly; generous mix-ins and classic swirls keep families and locals coming back. It's an affordable, no-frills outdoor spot with limited parking. Frequent customers praise flavor and texture, though some note cash-only service and minimal indoor seating may be inconvenient.

Been there since 1942, best shakes around. Try the honeymoon shake, my favorite! Cherry, coconut, pineapple on vanilla ice cream. The blueberry shake is a close second.
Great Ice Cream. Bring cash, service card s fast. Part of the Murrayhill.Landscape. Wall town feel.
We stopped there on Saturday, it was my first time but my husband raved about it so much, I wanted to try it. Plus, every time we passed by, there was a line wrapped around the building. So we stopped.when I got in line and read the menu, I knew this was not the place for me. I personally don't like soft ice cream, but since it has gotten great reviews, I tried it. I was not impressed. It was not flavorful. Just a lot of ice cream . It does not have the flavor of real ice cream and limited choices in flavors. I am a butter pecan fan. I could have added nuts, but it's not the same. I won't be going back, only because it's just not my style.
I absolutely love this place! Their desserts are incredibly creamy and delicious! The staff is always quick and courteous in assisting customers. The only downside is that they only accept cash; they don't take credit cards or Cashapp. I'm hopeful they'll upgrade their payment options since they have several new locations opening soon.
For more than 35 years, I've enjoyed countless strawberry milkshakes at various ice cream shops. Until today, my benchmark for all of them was Dairy King in Plymouth, Michigan, which I considered to be the best. However, after trying a strawberry shake from Dreamette in Jacksonville, Florida, I've found a new standard by which all others will be judged. The sign outside claims to be "Florida's #1 Ice Cream Shop," and based on the ice cream I've had in Florida, I must say I agree with that assessment.
