MAYDAY ICE CREAM – Restaurant

A pretzel cone, a jar of house-made sprinkles on the shelf, and a case of flavors that read like a dare - that is Mayday in Jacksonville, where the brand keeps more than one counter. The ice cream is the company's own, churned in Florida, and the waffle cones are baked in the shops. Regulars go for Cookie Crush, Sunday Best Banana Pudding with Nilla wafers and cinnamon, Blue Sky Blues blueberry, or the dairy-free Yuzu Dreamsicle. The recurring verdict is texture: rich, slow, none of the icy grit of industrial ice cream. Take a pint to go and stop pretending it will last.
