Pete's Ice Cream Factory

I was excited to try Pete's based on the reviews, but my experience wasn't as enjoyable as everyone else's. They didn't have any donuts at all because they said they were understaffed. Several of the ice cream flavors were sold out. I chose the cookies and cream flavor in a waffle cone bowl. It was less than desirable and honestly gave me a stomach ache.

Homemade donuts and ice cream! Rotating flavors each day. We got here around 9 am on a Friday. They didn’t have a huge donut selection, but we enjoyed what they did have. We tried maple and chocolate filled glazed. Wish they would’ve had the classic chocolate covered donuts. They had cake donuts but we are just not a huge fan of those. We do want to go back and try the coconut ice cream. The prices are a little high, especially if you have a large family.

We visited Gulf Shores for spring break as we often do, but had never tried this place. Needless to say, we will be back every year if I have a say! The ice cream is made fresh throughout the day, and we even got to see some being churned while we were there! The servings are very generous, and the waffle bowls taste house made as well. I had 2 flavors, strawberry and coconut, and they were divine. The flavor and texture were amazing. I’ll be dreaming about that coconut flavor until my next visit. My daughter has a dairy allergy, so we ordered her one of the sorbets. I think it was raspberry lemonade. She was napping when we were in the shop, and the lady who took our order offered to pack her sorbet in a styrofoam cup and keep it in the freezer until we were ready to leave. That was very

It was the fun and colorful building that drew us in and the fun and colorful owner, Pete, that kept us entertained. He only had his home-made ice cream at the time, but man was it good! Locally sourced ingredients and some unique flavors. I had the best toasted coconut ice cream I've ever had. Very well done. The place was spotless and super clean. He had several people come in for donuts so hopefully that will be reconsidered so its available for our return trip next time we're in town. Thanks Pete! Mohalo!

Visually neat and clean and the display case was unique but didn't care for the ice cream. It was creamy but the flavor just wasn't there for my taste. Also very expensive. The smallest cone was $5 and limited to under 5 years. My husband and I and 2 grandchildren was 37.50! No sprinkles added just the 4 ice creams with 2 scoops each which was the minimum you could order! I would like the option of one scoop and half the price. The children ended up throwing half of there's away and I would have preferred a smaller portion option too.
