Bright Ice is the kind of spot that makes you feel like a kid again. Tucked into the Water Street district, this small-batch ice cream shop dazzles with both flavors and design. From roasted strawberry to cinnamon rolls and key lime pie, their lineup is full of creative and crave-able combinations. Everything is made in-house using high-quality ingredients, and it shows in every bite. The waffle cones are fresh, crispy, and perfect for holding that double scoop of indulgence. The shop is clean and modern with fun, colorful details that make it Instagram-worthy—but without losing its charm. The staff are upbeat and happy to offer samples, helping you land on the perfect pick. They even serve espresso drinks and other sweets if you’re in the mood for something warm. Whether it’s a post-dinner treat, a sunny afternoon stop, or a spontaneous dessert run, Bright Ice never disappoints.
