Four of the flavors in the case change every single month, which means the limited batch you fall for in July might be gone by August. That is the fun of Lily's Handmade Ice Cream, the Boynton counter that makes every scoop in-house.

It opened on Woolbright back in November and keeps twelve signature flavors going year-round, plus four limited-edition flavors that rotate monthly. The whole operation is kosher-certified, and the vegan and no-sugar-added options are real, not afterthoughts.

What You're Getting Into

Start with the SoFlo Swamp, the top seller and a permanent fixture, Belgian chocolate packed with Oreos and chocolate chips. Then the Cookies & Cream Supreme, which is exactly as loaded as it sounds, an Oreo base stacked with more Oreo chunks. The Belgian Chocolate and Mint Chocolate Chunk are the steady classics for anyone who orders the same thing every time.

What sets it apart is that nothing is shipped in. Each batch is churned on site with no preservatives, no corn syrup, and no artificial flavors, so the texture is denser and cleaner than the chain stuff a plaza over. The fruit flavors come from real fruit and the chocolate is imported from Belgium. The vegan and no-sugar lines mean you can actually bring the whole family without anyone sitting out.

The shop is small and bright, with a retro sixties look and the smell of house-made waffle cones, the kind of after-dinner stop where the line moves and the staff will hand you a spoon to taste before you commit. On a July night in South Florida, that is the entire point.

The Insider Move

Go for the four monthly flavors first, because those are the ones that disappear. They are the experimental batches, so the case is never quite the same twice. Weeknights run until 9 and weekends until 10, so it works as a late dessert run after dinner anywhere in south Palm Beach County. Parking is easy in the Woolbright plaza lot. Ask to sample before you order, that is how you find the next favorite.

What People Are Saying

Early reviewers keep landing on the from-scratch texture and the friendly staff who let you sample, with regulars calling out the SoFlo Swamp and the hot fudge sundae by name. The kosher and non-dairy options come up again and again as the reason families made this their regular scoop shop. The recurring note: come back monthly, because there are always four flavors you have not tried yet waiting in the case.
