Sitting in the Tradewind Center off of South Highway 27 , is something sweet and creamy that you won ’ t find anywhere else . Since moving into the plaza in late June of 2022 , GiGi ’ s Homemade Ice Cream has been providing Mexican-style sweets with new , authentic , and enriching flavors .
Of course , you ’ ll find your standard vanilla , chocolate , strawberry , or cookie dough , but they also carry some unique flavors that have customers intrigued . Amongst a heaping inventory of over fifty different flavors , some of GiGi ’ s new flavor creations include pina colada , horchata , tequila , sweet corn , avocado , and even cheese .
Included in their vast selection are more typical , sweet flavors as well , such as butter pecan , cappuccino , Oreo , brownies , bubble gum , Butterfinger , sea salt caramel , and blackberry cheesecake .
