Palace Cafe & Dairy

I loved this little place, the location isn’t that big but the food is! I had a Palace combo with French fries and it was absolutely finger licking good! With that I washed it down with some Pineapple Soda and I had a Oreo Blizz for dessert before work. 😋 if you like a nice neighborhood sandwich/ice cream spot this is the place for you! Yummy!!

At a glance, Palace Cafe & Dairy seems like a typical old Miami joint waiting to be gentrified like most of this beautiful city, but how the saying goes… “never judge a book by its cover!” No need for change here! This nostalgic ice cream parlor is just minutes away from the gorgeous Loan Depot Park where you can find, what I found to be, the best banana split in town. No gimmicks or tricks, just delicious layers of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream drizzled with silky chocolatey syrup, some pineapple chunks, finished off with some rainbow sprinkles, frothy whipped cream, and of course, a cherry on top! What else can you ask for? Make sure to try el cafecito right before you head out, and a huge shout out to “La Dominicana” for being the ONLY employee working the parlor for the last 20 years!

Reminded me of an old school drive-in like back in the day. There was a very nice lady who patiently helped me decide what to try. She even came from behind the counter to discuss some of the ingredients for me. I didn't sit on the benches under the canopy but I definitely will next time. Food quality and service have earned my patronage lol.. But the ice cream!!!! Smh just creamy goodness with whatever toppings you could think. It took me back to my younger years hand churning ice cream with my granny!
