A Local Favorite

Located in St. Augustine’s Historic Downtown, Mayday Ice Cream serves up small-batch scoops with big personality. The shop's vibe is vintage Americana with a modern edge, and each location delivers a sweet escape for visitors and locals. Known for its handcrafted ice cream, homemade waffle cones, and even from-scratch sprinkles, this local favorite adds a special touch to a beloved treat, making each scoop unmistakably Mayday.

A Sweet Tribute to American Ingenuity

Mayday Ice Cream isn’t just about scoops; it’s a tribute to the innovation. The ice cream parlor's name honors World War II pilots, who made ice cream at high altitudes using the frigid air outside their “Flying Fortress” bombers. Mayday draws inspiration from their ingenuity and optimism and offers a nostalgic reminder of comfort, creativity, and the simple joy of ice cream, one bite at a time.

What’s on the Menu

The scoop case at Mayday features 16 rotating flavors, including 10 year-round favorites and six seasonal selections that reflect the team’s flair for creativity. The menu mixes classics with inventive combos like The Aviator (a combination of chocolate, hazelnut Nutella ice cream, chunks of Biscoff cookies, and chopped hazelnuts). Other popular flavors include:

  • Coffee & Donuts
  • Ice Box Lemon
  • Blueberry Toast Crunch
  • Blackberry Earl Grey

No matter which flavor you choose, it is served in a cup, homemade waffle cone, or pint to-go. Dairy-free options are also available and made with the same handcrafted care as the classic flavors.

Catering

Mayday Ice Cream offers catering for private events, parties, and weddings.

Know Before You Go

Mayday Ice Cream shops are family-friendly, walk-in ready, and ideal for an afternoon break or a late-night dessert. Seating is limited, so many guests take their cones to-go and explore the surrounding area.

Pints are available for takeout. Hours vary by location—most stores are open daily, with extended hours on weekends.

Other Locations

In addition to its historic downtown shop, Mayday Ice Cream has two other St. Augustine locations:

Each shop offers the same core menu and house-made treats.
