[2025 Miami Restaurant] Travel Guide for Azucar Ice Cream - Little Havana (Updated Jul)

The best way to discover Calle Ocho, the main artery that runs through Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood, is on foot. And if you’re venturing there this summer, the most authentic way to cool off after hoofing it up and down Southwest 8th Street is to chill at Azucar Ice Cream Co. Named after the battle cry of famed Cuban salsa singer Celia Cruz – whose body laid in state in Miami’s Freedom Tower, drawing 200,000 fans, after her death in 2003 – Azucar (sugar), isn’t your typical tiny ice cream shop. Its artisanal, made-daily flavors embrace sabor latino (Latin flavor) like no other: ruby red mamey, creamy avocado with condensed milk, sweet pink guava and sorbets made from juicy mangos. Some flavors change with the seasons, but you can almost always find caramel flan, café con leche (Cuban coffee and Oreo), platano maduro (sweet plantain) and guarapiña (sugarcane and pineapple).

If you’re looking for a sweet treat while roaming the streets of Little Havana in Miami, then be sure to stop by Azucar. They’re not your typical ice cream parlour; they make premium ice cream that also gives their customers a cultural “farm to cone” experience by incorporating natural ingredients and promoting the local farmers and suppliers that they use. They have a pretty extensive list of signature flavours to choose from too, like Cafe con Leche (Cuban coffee and oreo), el mani loco (crazy peanut), Mantecado (Cuban vanilla), Platano Madura (sweet plantain) and many more!

Cuban-inspired homemade ice cream, tasty treats. They have so many flavors and they also allow you to try out before ordering. They’re located at the Little Havana. The outside sign is cute and eye catching. The only matter is I struggled to finish the ice cream, it’s melted quickly. Parking is difficult to find and expensive. Still worth a try if you’re visiting the area.

This Azucar Ice Cream branch is located in Little Havana. The shop front is a colorful ice cream cone. It serves a variety of ice cream flavors, with different flavors every day. You can choose both in cups and cones. You can choose 1-3 scoops per cone. There are only 6 seats in the shop, which are long cushions. There are restrooms. We chose 2 scoops in a cone (6.75 USD + 14% tax. I almost cried). I chose Abuela Maria and Mantecado (Cuban vanilla). They were delicious. I secretly tried my friend's Bourbon Buns mixed with Jim Beam. It was also delicious. If you are interested, you can come try it in Miami. The shop is open every day from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. #Get a discount without relying on luck
