Our Story

A cafe built on small joys.

Candy Cream Cafe interior

It started with a craving.

Candy Cream Cafe opened on International Drive with a simple idea — make ice cream the way it should taste: fresh, creamy, and packed with real ingredients. What started as a small dream became Orlando's go-to scoop shop, earning a 4.9-star rating from over a thousand guests.

Today we serve everything from classic vanilla bean to wildly creative seasonal flavors, alongside our signature milkshakes and freshly-baked pastries. Every visit is a chance to slow down and enjoy something sweet.

What we believe in

Made with care

Every batch is churned by hand, every cone served with a smile.

Real ingredients

Local cream, real fruit, no artificial colors — ever.

Always something new

Seasonal specials and weekly rotating flavors to keep things fun.

Made fresh, every morning.

Our team starts before sunrise, churning that day's flavors so every scoop you taste was made within hours. Pastries come out of the oven warm, and the espresso machine is always running.

Come visit — we'll save you a stool at the marble counter.
