This place is absolutely amazing! The ice cream is always fresh, creamy, and full of flavor — easily some of the best I’ve ever had. The shop itself has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to stop with friends or family. I also want to give a special shout-out to Isabella. She went above and beyond to make our visit great — she was patient, friendly, and really took the time to recommend flavors that matched what we were looking for. Thanks to her, we tried something new and loved it! It’s employees like Isabella who make the experience here extra special.

Wow! Wow! Wow! This is hands down the best ice cream in Pembroke Pines, we went as a family and took our pup who also enjoyed his very own ice cream. Lucia was so sweet and helpful, they have so many flavors and so much variety. This has become our favorite little spot for a sweet treat. I highly recommend.

Do you have an event coming up and want something unique that people will talk about for days? YOU NEED TO CONTACT VANIGLIA & CIOCCOLATO! I had them at my event and they were one of the top three things people remember the most. From start to finish the process was seamless. They are super responsive and will cater to your needs. I was unsure of what to pick since they have so many options (for catering), but decided to go with their cannoli and tiramisu carts. WOW! To be honest, I had no expectations of what the taste would be like as I was so focused on having these "mobile carts", as I knew they would be a hit.. But when I tell you that the tiramisu is honestly the best one I've EVER had, I'm not kidding. I could have had 100 cups of tiramisu if I could.. wow! The cannoli were also amazing!!! They were great, especially for the teenagers/kids who couldn't stop eating them. The taste, EXCEPTIONAL. The presentation, FABULOUS. And the staff... KIND, FUN, AND ON TIME! I really have nothing negative to say about the whole experience with V&C. Hands down one of the best decisions I took when planning my event. Thank you Brando and the whole team for showing up and making the experience unforgettable! Side note, I have not been to the shop or tried their ice cream/gelatos... but if the cannolis and tiramisus are any indication of how it would be.. I would be confident that everything in the shop will be amazing. Nothing but love for this team and wishing them all the success in the world. They truly deserve it!

I cannot wait to go back! There were soooo many options to choose from, it was almost impossible to decide. We ordered the Dubai Chocolate Crepe, and it was absolutely AMAZING – delicious and beautifully presented. The staff was great too – friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

Words can’t describe how great of a business Vaniglia & Cioccolato is but I have to try. (instagram @vanigliaecioccolato ) We hired them to cater our wedding with both their gelato cart and tiramisu bar. I can honestly say they were the highlight of the night because weeks later, guests are still telling me how much they loved it. We chose 6 flavors for gelato: Dubai chocolate, passion fruit, pistachio, stracciatella, coconut, tiramisu The tiramisu bar was a server going around giving fresh cup scoops of tiramisu and wow so delicious! Not only are their gelato and tiramisu the best quality and taste, but the owner Brando and her team are amazing to work with. Her communication, customer service, professionalism, just everything are seriously top notch. They took care of literally EVERYTHING from setting up, decorations, planning, toppings, supplies; all I had to do was pick the flavors. I have nothing but compliments and love to Brando and her business and they will have our support forever. Thank you for helping bring our vision to life and really making our wedding stand out. Check out their instagram @vanigliaecioccolato, but even better, go visit their store and try their gelato, tiramisu, and all their other desserts yourself!

Vaniglia & Cioccolato is a solid spot for a sweet treat. The ice cream is delicious and creamy, and I especially enjoyed the affogato rich espresso over smooth gelato as well as the Nutella crepe, which was warm and indulgent. Service was friendly and efficient, making the visit pleasant. The decoration was okay nothing fancy, but comfortable enough for enjoying dessert. Overall, a nice place to satisfy a sweet craving
