Incredible selection! I tried several samples and finally decided on two scoops, one was raspberry truffle and the other was Huckleberry. Really tasty! You can tell it's really good quality ice cream. Nothing freezer-burned. We arrived about 15 minutes before closing and the place was still pretty busy, so it's super popular and super delish!

This place has hole-in-the-wall character and with awesome food and so much variety for ice cream! If you're at Warren Dunes then make sure to stop by. I had the jalepeno burger and it was amazing. The other food was great as well!

What a charming, one-stop destination for beach treats! We stayed in the neighboring Suncoast Park Tiny Home Village and visited many times during our stay. We love their top-quality Mooville ice cream (and have to go on the record to say that Sea Monster is the best ice cream we have had anywhere ever). We will definitely look forward to returning!

Absolutely fantastic ice cream spot! Great for family's with kids especially the outdoor seating. Every flavor we tried was impeccable and the ice cream flight was perfect to try a wide variety of the decadent treats. The fast and friendly service was perfect. Our stand out flavors where the 'Sort of sweet, sort of Beth Dutton', cookie monster, and the BEST blue moon i've ever had. We will definitely be returning!

Ice cream was amazing!!! I got a small cup with half sea monster and half sea salt caramel, both were delicious! My husband got cherry and it was delicious too! We got a bag of the cheesier cheese popcorn and garlic parmesan popcorn. Both flavors were just okay. We will definitely come back for the ice cream! Friendly and fast service!
