That's according to a new Axios analysis of Yelp data.
Between the lines: For more unique flavors and fun experiences, we recommend:
Dasher & Crank: Try the Ube Macapuno, made with Filipino purple yams, when in Wynwood.
Cream Parlor: Old-fashioned shop with treats like a "Brownie Mountain of Deliciousness."
Salt & Straw: Home to imaginative, gourmet flavors like The Salty Donut Guava and Cheese, with locations in Wynwood, Cocowalk and Lincoln Road.
Azucar: This "farm-to-cone" Calle Ocho institution uses fresh mango and mamey.
Taiwan Ice: Ice cream rolls in North Miami, with a cute manga twist.
Wonderfruits: Artisan, handmade popsicles at Bayside Marketplace.
