We will follow you to your new location. Employees that have personally and have fun at work!!
Newly opened in 2020 & becoming an Orange Beach staple. Del's offers solid quality homemade ice cream sold at moderate prices & rivals competitors Matt's, Scoops or Kayden's . Rotating an assortment of different flavors everyday. Their menu additionally features Shakes Sundaes Splits Sorbets & 3 flavors of dairy free ice cream. Old standby favorites of Chocolate Vanilla & Strawberry are available on their menu alongside 36 assorted flavors ranging from & will not limit their flavors to glazed donut banana moon pie & cake flavored donuts. Scoopologist at the counter are friendly & will offer you samples if you are indecisive of their menu offerings. I have sampled Strawberry cheesecake & rum raisin finding them impressive & will order again on my next visit instead of the cherry vanilla shake I ordered. It is an impressive shake containing the perfect thickness & flavor compared to shakes from known competitors with the end results usually watered down lacking flavor & quality. Despite a reasonable amount of indoor seatings available expect to enjoy it outside or your car during the tourist season & weekends. Don't let that discourage your visit, it is worth that short wait comparing wait times of Matt's location next door to oyster house or The Milkyard shake's. Tell Del what's your flavor & let a scoopologist dole up scoops of happiness. Be sure to like on FB & tell a friend https://www.facebook.com/delsicecreamob/
Stopped in again, the other day, as if we weren't already stupid stuffed. Why because sometimes it's just ice cream time! :-) First of all while a majority of the ice cream shops around here serve Bluebell or Nestle, I prefer Bluebell, these guys serve "Cammie's Old Dutch Ice Cream" which comes from Cammie and her husband Larry began who began making their ice cream on site at Old Dutch in 2011 and is the only Ice Cream manufacturer/wholesaler in Mobile, AL. This ice cream is special and they feature flavors like banana moon pie and lavender among their 36 delicious choices in the store and they rotate through 80 different flavors. They do have some nice dairy free, and sugar free options as well. They've got cones and cups, milkshakes, sundaes, banana splits and loads of toppings. plus as far as I know they're the only place on the island where you can get fresh poke and locally-crafted ice cream too, score! Personal note: I am a big peanut butter hi and previously I tried their peanut butter milkshake and hands downhas to be one of the best I've had. Great mix of peanut butter and chocolate! Bottom line: The place is clean and well stocked and appointed with a very friendly and hard working staff that are eager to please, nice. They're open 7 days a week from noon til 10 and I highly recommend giving them a try.
The ice cream is really good and you can tell it's actually homemade with good ingredients. I had their mocha float and it really hit the spot. My husband loved the Orange Beach Fizz with raspberry sorbet. My 4 year old devoured the mint chip and my mil drank her root beer float faster than I've ever seen. Highly recommended little hole in the wall!
Love this place! The ice cream is the absolute best I have had in orange beach. Wish they were open year round.
