Great ice cream. I had the cookie dough peanut butter and it was amazing. Small shop so no place to eat in the shop really. Great for a quick stop when shopping on Lincoln Road.

One of the best sorbets I’ve ever had! Every time I’m in the area, it’s a must stop! Everything is homemade. They have many flavors to choose from including peanut butter which is AMAZING! The staff is friendly, I recommend everyone to stop by.

i love this ice cream shop! everything about it is wonderful…
the ice cream — the selection is plentiful! i haven’t tried all the flavors yet but the ones i have tried i’ve loved. they have real ice cream and sorbet — you can’t go wrong with either! i may like the sorbet a little bit better just because they do such a good job — its hard to find good sorbet! my favorite flavors are raspberry and champagne!
the décor — it is such a cute shop! décor also gets five stars!
the staff — always friendly and helpful! very patient — as i like to try all the flavors and it is very hard for me to make a call on these tough decisions!
location — located right off of lincoln road so it is a perfect spot for some after dinner ice cream! parking can be tricky but it is the beach so it comes with the territory
BEST OF ALL… they have pints to go!

Want a quick dessert after lunch or dinner? Stop by this place! Their ice cream is delicious and the guy working was a pleasure. Next time I’m in Miami I will definitely stop by and buy a cone. It is a little run down but it hits the spot in the ice cream and the price.

The best vanilla ice cream ever! My family and I tried Frieze for the first time and had a great experience. I had vanilla ice cream on a waffle cone. It was so good. My husband had a scoop of raspberry sorbet with a scoop of vanilla on a waffle cone. Absolutely delicious!!! My son had two scoops of strawberry sorbet. He says if was a good sorbet. My daughter had a passion fruit sorbet with gummy bears. My daughter really liked it.

Their ice cream is absolutely delicious! So hooked! Their gelato is made in house and I appreciate coated that. In Miami for 4 days and have already had it for 3x. The two times being in one day haha — it was just that good!
Tried and LOVE:
the Bosh Frenzy (real good for the pB lovers!)*
Dulce de Leche
S’mores (my friend and my fave!!)*
Cappuccino chocolate chip
Boost Oogie Cookie
Note: everyday they rotate some flavors out. The second visit we wanted the S’mores but sadly they didn’t have it that day :(all flavors still awesome though!
The servers are really nice as well. So patient to assist to giving a samples and helping you choose the flavor you’d like.
I just want to keep eating more! Will definitely miss it when I return to NY. Till next time! Totally recommend!!! But it’s dangerous haha you’ll be hooked too!

The coconut ice cream Malta is heaven. Staff is friendly and efficient. Headed there right now !! A nice local alternative to the more expensive industry ice cream locations on south beach

Good selection of flavors but the portions are extremely small for the price. A medium «waffle cone» cost me almost $ 8! The 3 stars are for the selection of flavors, decent tasting ice cream and good service.
On my way out of the ice cream shop (with cone in hand), some jerk spit toward my feet. Save your money and go to Haagen Daz or Cold Stone!

It was a very hot summer day and we needed something to quench our thirst. So we decided to go on the hunt for some sorbet and stumbled upon this place. I had the ginger pear sorbet and my fiancé had the raspberry and passion fruit sorbet. Both were very delicious but I thought the ginger pear sorbet was much more my style. It so refreshing which is what I needed and it wasn’t too sweet as most shops tend to make it. The ginger pear sorbet gets two thumbs up in my book and left me wanting more!

Pretty good ice cream spot and much more reasonably priced (compared to the rip-​off that is Haagen Dazs).
We shared a cookies and cream type of flavor and peanut butter chocolate. Both were good.

Ice cream was creamy sweet !
Sorbet was perfectly juicy and flavorful!
I tried salted caramel and Champaign
It was delicious
I think almost every one love this place and this ice cream.
Price range was 4 – 8 $
I got medium size enough to share with 2pp.

Visited the Frieze last weekend on a warm spring day. It’s about a block off of the Lincoln Road Mall. The place is super cute, local art with an ice cream/​Miami vibe. It is VERY small. There is enough room to see the menu and all the ice cream choices in the freezers. A couple of benches inside.
They have quite a few local fruit flavors like guava, mango, and passion fruit. I shared a cup of salted caramel and guava. They were both good, but not the best I’ve had. The prices are a little steep, but to be expected for the high rent district of South Beach.
Overall, I would go back… but given the choices in the area, may not be for awhile.

Came here after dinner in Miami Beach, and I was impressed! I love ice cream, and Frieze did not disappoint. I got a small scoop of their chocolate chip, and the vanilla ice cream base was full of vanilla flavor without the cloying sweetness of other ice creams. The dark and slightly bitter chocolate chips were a great complement.
This place may seem very simple, but you can tell that they care about their product! I want to go back to try their famous sorbets.

Such good ice cream and sorbet! Last night was my first time at this ice cream shop. Never have I ever heard of this place. It’s amazing how many little things you can miss out on in your hometown.
By far the best sorbet I’ve had. Every flavor is delicious. And the ice cream is super creamy and not too sweet. It’s just right. Their tamarindo, raspberry, coconut, mango, and champagne sorbet is to die for. Coconut ice cream is heaven.

Good ice cream, reasonable number of flavored. It’s a little pricey for the area. It’s convenient though right off the Lincoln Mall strip. The ice cream was tasty though and the people were nice.

So glad we stopped in!
Be careful though it is a small location and gets packed easily. We weren’t able to see the entire selection of ice cream and frozen yogurt beefier deciding what to have.
The chocolate icecream.. .. To die for!
A small scoop was plenty with how rich it was in flavor. Hit the spot

Coconut ice cream is sooooo good and creamy! Also tried the lychee and while I love lychee, this was a little too sweet for me. Can’t wait to go back and try all their flavors

We dropped by for ice cream after hanging out at Lincoln mall. We ordered the Indian Mango and the Lychee sorbet which were both very, very good. It was very refreshing and flavourful. We also sampled the guavaberry sorbet which was really good too.
We would definitely drop by again and try the other ice cream flavours.

Ultimately the best ice cream ever! My favorite is the cappuccino chip which has cinnamon, and coffee ice cream with dark chocolate chips. Another great flavor is the grape nuts and raisins. Great real high quality ingredients and homemade recipes that no other ice cream shop has.

Had a gigantic scoop of the white chocolate and peanut butter chips. The shop has tons of ice cream, sherbert, and nonfat fro yo Options so tons to try. I was almost full after they let me try 10 flavors. But the scoop was awesome. And they also have many vegan options

I’m not sure what all the fuss is about. I found the ice cream here to be average and forgettable. I chose a 2 scoop serving in a cone; boogie oogie cookie & a caramel one which tasted like snickers bar.
There was only 1 person in front of us, but service was quite slow. The snickers style flavor was my favorite, but I didn’t think much to the cookie one. Living in NYC, maybe I’m spoiled and tried too many better ice cream places, but I didn’t think it was anything to write home about.

Two words: Java Oreo
Innovative glaciers makes it worth the trip.
Next time you’re in Lincoln Road, wonder one block sideways to Frieze.

I just discovered this ice cream shop last week and have now been there twice. It’s off Lincoln Road so most people never see it. (On the South side of Lincoln Road on Michigan and 16th)
I love the neon lights outside and the ice cream cone mosaic tiles on the floor. It is such a cute place. So sad that it’s so run down and dirty… but then again, so is most of Miami Beach. :(
Their Mini Moo (aka Small) is the perfect size and only $ 4 for 1 large scoop.
I LOVE the ice cream here. I’m especially ecstatic that they offer TWO coffee ice cream options; Java Oreo and Cappuccino Chip. Most places only offer one, if that. The Java Oreo is my favorite for suresss.
I also sampled the Almond Joy (yummy, crunchy, chewy!), the Bosh Madness (PB & Choc) and the Pistachio Almond (VERY tasty)
They get 2 stars for the way the place is neglected (Sorry but its the troof!), 5 stars for the potential for cuteness and 5 stars for the product itself. So 4 star average it is.
I’ll be back again and again and again…

They don’t normally give 2 flavors in the small, but the woman behind the counter was nice and said she’d allow it for me! I loved the Chocolate Hazelnut immediately and this was by far the best flavor; it was intense, smooth, and rich. The others I tried tasted artificial – I was trying to find a tart/​fruit flavor to counter the sweetness of the chocolate but failed. The woman was really nice about letting me try so many and suggested the PB chocolate chip swirl one, which was good. It was a little too much with the chocolate but I got them together anyway:
4 stars:
Chocolate hazelnut
3 stars (both of these had a special flavor name that I forgot):
Peanut butter chocolate chip swirl
Cookies n Cream
2.5 stars:
Coconut ice cream
Coconut sorbet
Mango
Whopper
THE COST: $ 8.35 total for 2 scoops.

Fun, upbeat ice cream shop with great service and tasty ice cream.
FOOD
I got a scoop of the cookies and cream, and a flavor that was a combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and nuts. The ice cream was awesome, and I especially liked the cookies and cream.
AMBIANCE
Very casual with cute ice-​cream parlor type music playing. It is a fun upbeat atmosphere. There are seats available, but when I was here I mostly saw people ordering ice cream to go.
SERVICE
The person that helped me was fantastic. She was friendly, helpful, and offered me tons of samples.
