Cool place! They let you build your own donut from many sauce and topping options. They had a lot of ice cream options too! We had a regular glazed with fruity pebbles and bacon, a peanut butter and bacon, and a chocolate glazed, peanut butter and Reese?s crumble. My stepson is a big fan of donuts and he said this place was 5 out of 5 stars!
Absolutely awesome!! The ice cream flavors are super tasty, the service was very friendly and helpful and although we didn't get any, the donuts looked and sounded great. This will be a regular visit spot every time we're back in CR.
Wow, the biscoff is phenomenal! Out of a great lineup of flavors, it is still the clear standout. The flight is the way to go so you can try a variety of flavors. You can get any sundae on top of one of their vanilla cake doughnuts, which look amazing but we're saving that for our next visit.
Guyer's Ice Cream and Doughnuts In November of 2022, I was in Crystal River, Florida, and decided to check out a new business on 5th Street: Guyer?s Ice Cream and Doughnuts. I loved it! The owners were working behind the counter and explained that they make all their ice cream in store - and that they have sugar-free and dairy-free options. I wanted full-sugar, full-fat and full-cow-milk-dairy ice cream and asked for a bowl. I could have chosen a sugar cone, cake cone or a store-made waffle cone. But a b
The donuts are made to order and they absolutely amazing!! They come out warm and are so delicious. The ice-cream is phenomenal as well. The staff was also really friendly and helpful. Definitely a must stop at if you are in Crystal River you will not be disappointed.
After visiting dunkin donuts yesterday to be completely disappointed...we were on a hunt for some real donuts. Went to guyers and the girls there were super helpful and recommended peanut butter sauce on the stores and oreo donuts, and it was a big hit! All the donuts were made to order, warm and full of flavor. They tasted homeade. I belive in supporting local small businesses, and it is so easy to do when they have quality products. This morning we reheated the donuts in the air fryer and it was just as g
The ice cream here was delicious! Homemade and fresh. A great place to take the kids, very fun and relaxing to sit outdoors. They have tons of options to choose from along with toppings. We will be back.
The options of deliciousness is endless! From the Chunby Mermaid, Banana chocolate chip and biscoff ice cream to the homemade warm donuts! I wish I had a Guyers closer to home!
Great ice cream choices and nice porch to sit on. Donuts look good but we all had some great scoops or shakes.
The most delicious ice cream with a lovely seating area out front! Barbie was super helpful and friendly and explained the menu really clearly to us! Would highly recommend if you?re in town!
Really great experience. The fact it?s homemade is amazing ?? as we opted for the dairy free options and were able to do a flight of 4/5 of the dairy free products they were serving. The quality was top notch with the favorite flavor being lavender sorbet ?? Good value, quality, and price in a fun atmosphere.
This place truly made my day! The freshly made doughnuts were a delight, and I loved having the freedom to choose my own toppings. We ended up with a box full of beautiful, colorful creations that tasted as good as they looked. Highly recommend!
Visited Guyer's based on a Google search for ice cream in Crystal River. We are so glad we came here! I was able to custom order my all-time favorite donut - cake donut with white icing and sprinkles. My significant other had a rocky road sundae. They made it fresh and had a ton of ice cream options and a cooler of drinks. It was super clean and had a lovely deck with clean seating and water for dogs if needed. The staff were the most friendly and eager to explain or help you decide what you might like. You
This place had me at "Chubby Mermaid". Ice cream on top of a donut? Yes, please. If you're in the area, this is a must-visit.
Best chocolate ice cream ever!! All flavors we?ve tried have been delicious- peanut butter, mint chocolate chip, cookie dough. Employees are super nice too.
Great ice cream superfriendly staff. Big area to sit and enjoy. Best part..... donuts made to order, could not be fresher!! This is a must stop and do when in town. Also one of the few places open on Sunday and past 5pm!! Thank you!!
Love this place ! Everyone is so nice. I made a custom chubby mermaid that turned out amazing !
Really cute place! My husband and I both got a hot fudge sundae, his with chocolate peanut butter ice cream and mine with coffee. Peanuts and of course whipped cream/cherry were included. We both thought it was the best ice cream we?ve had in a long time!! Be sure to make a point to go there if you are visiting Crystal River.
Donuts are always made to order so they are always warm and fresh ?? tons and tons of ice cream and donut flavors, so you are guaranteed to find something for you. Service was kind and pretty quick! Had wonderful outdoor seating. Will be bringing the family back again! ?? The photo is the Strawberry Lovers donut, highly recommend!
Amazing ice cream and cake doughnuts! Both are made in-house. Inside seating is limited, but it?s so delicious you won?t take long to eat! Flavors change monthly, so you?ll be surprised each time you visit. Get your ice cream in a bowl, sugar cone, cake cone or a homemade waffle cones/bowls. Or better yet get a Chubby Mermaid Sundae! A fresh, hot cake doughnut topped with a scoop of ice cream and then drizzle with your choice of topping.
So delicious ice cream and donuts! Service awesome!!
Stopped by again last night after dinner for some ice cream. I had a PB cup shake that was one of the best in my life. Perfect thickness! My wife had the oat milk based vanilla sundae and loved it. Can?t wait to come back with a bigger stomach for the Chubby Mermaid!
We absolutely LOVED stopping in and trying out the donuts. So much so, we came back the next day! We loved being able to build our own donuts! Everyone was so kind and cheerful. We tried many of the different options for donuts and all were delicious!
This place is awesome! Just a hop away from the splash pad under the water tower. My son and I just noticed this place because we parked in the back gravel lot close to the splash park, we just HAD TO try it! It is so reminiscent of the beach ice cream shop that I visited Many years ago around Madeira. I will absolutely visit again soon. We tried the root beer flavored ice cream, chocolate, and strawberry. All very, VERY GOOD. Chocolate sprinkles on the strawberry ice cream was positively amazing! Next time
Such a great spot for dessert! Loved that our donuts were made to order. The chubby mermaid was such a treat, and honestly a must try for everyone (ice cream served over a donut!!!)
We have always had a great experience at this establishment in the past. Today we went in and asked for a small cone with sprinkles for our grandson and the young man working said no, I can't to toppings in a cone. We had never heard of not being able to get sprinkles so we asked again "we can't have sprinkles?" In a snotty tone, the young man pointed to a sign that we hadn't seen and said "No I Can't". So I said I wasn't going to be spending any money there, and he smiled and so Ok Fine. Smiling the who
The ice cream made on the premises is outstanding!! The "donuts" are basically waffle batter and really just a cute gimmick for kids, like county fair food. The ice cream is worth returning for anytime you can though ??
TLDR is GET ICE CREAM HERE! You can probably tell by my waist size that I?ve eaten more ice cream than I care to admit but Guyer?s has to be among the best! It?s SUPER thick, creamy, flavorful, sweet? just amazing! I don?t know what kind of alchemy or magic they?re using but it even seems to melt slower than normal ice cream. My first trip I got 1 scoop of Blueberry Cheesecake and 1 Strawberry (fruit right? I can at least pretend that it?s healthier than chocolate)! My 2nd trip (yes it was like 18 hours lat
Great ice cream, Great donuts, Great concept! It would be nice to have some sample pictures to help understand what and how to order.
Great place, always busy. Friendly staff! Top: Maple bacon, peanut butter and jelly, blueberry pie Bottom: Dirt pie, almond joy, and chocolate pretzel
Mind blown. Amazing ice cream and donuts and very kind people running the place. Fantastic customer service. Our kids loved the chubby mermaid ice cream with the warm donut. I am a responsible adult and totally DID NOT eat most of it
I must say these donuts are the best donuts in Crystal river what a variety to choose from you name it he probably has it place was absolutely beautiful. Nice outside deck very clean inside service was awesome this is a must GO to ice cream and donut shop you will not be disappointed ??
Great place for ice cream. Nice outdoor seating. Delicious ice cream. The chubby mermaid was fantastic - got it with chocolate ice cream, chunked Reese?s cups and peanut butter sauce. It was superb! Friendly staff too.
Ice cream made in house was excellent. The waffle cone was fresh and very tasty. Friendly fast service. Looked over their extensive donut menu, but that will wait for another visit.
We love Guyers! They have such a great selection of homemade ice cream and doughnuts! All absolutely delicious! Their customer service is top-notch, a must stop after a day at the springs!
Best ice cream parlor my family has ever been to! Perfect customer service and delicious ice cream. I had coffee, the kids had strawberry and they were both great!
#10 Service, #10 Quality, # 10 value Banana chocolate chip ice cream, maple bacon fresh made donut
My husband and I were in Crystal River for a week and visited Guyer?s 5 times. We couldn?t get enough! We have traveled all across the US and this is the best ice cream and donuts we?ve ever had. The staff was great, service quick, and the building was very clean and cute.
This place was great! There was a big selection of ice cream flavors to choose from, and all four flavors that my family chose were delicious. I highly recommend the waffle bowl/cone - it had the perfect texture and wasn't too crunchy but just right, and the flavor was perfect. The donuts are just like the concept of Duck Donuts so that you can pick your own toppings and combinations. I actually like these donuts much better than the ones at Duck Donuts. While warm, they had a perfect crunch on the outside
Best ice cream we've ever had! The fresh made donuts were delicious. Cute shop, great location, friendly service.
This inviting dessert spot cranks out amazing made in-house ice cream and doughnuts! Amazing customer service, exceptional quality, and abundant flavors!
Simply amazing, the environment the staff, and the home made ice cream and doughnuts are supreme! ???? ?? ??. Ice cream is amazingly Creamy! And the doughnuts? To DIE for. They're made in house in THREE minutes right infront of you! The moment you walk in the sweet smell hits your nostrils in a welcoming way reminds me of the county fair! and the staff is eager to help amd are swigt with their service. And it's all very well priced for what you get. There wasn't many people there today but its winter months
I ate and forgot a picture. The key lime ice cream was absolutely delicious I could have eaten a gallon! Donuts are top shelf! A new favorite place for sweets you won?t be disappointed.
This place is a gem! Our guide at Explorida recommended checking this joint out and it did not disappoint. My girlfriend and I had their doughnuts and they were delicious. This place has a classic ice cream/sweets shop vibe with some lovely Crystal River touches to it. The staff are super friendly and accommodating! The prices are good! No complaints! Would recommend!
If you ever visit Crystal River definitely try their shakes and doughnuts. This place has the BEST Coffee shake I have ever had and fresh doughnuts are amazing. Absolutely loved it. Thank you to the kind people who work there. (I was there on 09/01/24)
Delicious and so friendly Very unique ice cream flavors, cake donuts and great combos!
First time here! Helpful employee who explained the menu and options. I got peanut butter ice cream and my husband got coffee ice cream. Both were amazing!
Delicious Ice Cream and Amiah was super friendly and patient with my children. Will definitely be back! I'm actually stopping by after work today to get ice creams for the whole family!
Chocolate iceberg cream and blueberry cheesecake so GOOOD!
Tried this doughnut spot for the first time and was very impressed. Doughnuts are made to order so they were very fresh. You have the option to pick from some pre-made creations or you can make your own! We tried the Oreo, French toast, Rice Krispie one, strawberry lover, and then made a few of our own creations. I will def be back here to try the s?more and apple pie one since I didn?t try those ones this time around. It was such a fun and delicious thing to do so I def recommend coming out and trying them
I came right before they closed on a Saturday night and even though the place was busy our icecream came out quickly and was incredible. Barbie brought us our treats and really made a good experience excellent.
After doing kayaking, and watching manatees, we just HAD to stop here for some home made ice cream ?? Big plus for the parking ???, the shade at the balcony, the staff, and HUGE plus for the home made ice cream. The vanilla and cookies ?? are a must ?? Five out of Five ??
I've heard ice cream makes everything better. A stop at Guyer's certainly put a smile on my face. ?? Fresh, warm d-lish donuts AND cool, creamy ice cream...my Greyhound wingman was over the moon. It's a happy little place where the owner is kind and friendly. Stop by to put some yummy in your tummy. You'll be glad you did! ?? Dog friendly??
So so so good!!! Loved the ice cream AND the donuts. Miss Barbie was the absolute sweetest! This place is 100% my new fave??????
What an amazing experience! My friends and I were traveling and visited two nights in a row, it?s that good! Dairy free ice cream was absolutely delicious, I only wish there were more dairy free flavors. The French toast donut is literally to DIE for! Both owners were so kind and welcoming. It felt like being home away from home :) Staff were friendly and we really enjoyed chatting with them! I can?t wait to come back next time I?m in Crystal River!!
We live 5 mins away and it's been our favorite place to go for a snack or a treat. The doughnuts are fresh, moist (sorry lol), soft, not too sweet despite all the toppings and delicious. The ice cream is creamy but not too rich as well, just like the doughnuts. Considering we usually come right from hunter springs, I really appreciate that. Nothing worse than being hot, tired and then getting a stomach ache. Never happened here and it usually does for me. I don't do well with sweets and these are perfectly
DONUTS!!!!! Oh my goodness, these made to order donuts were so amazing! They fry the vanilla cake donuts to order and you pick your icing/toppings or choose from some of the combinations they have. I tried the PB&J(grape) and the French Toast Maple. They cost about $3.00 each. They were warm and crisp and oh so delicious! I wish I lived closer but then again that may be dangerous.
The cutest family owned ice cream shop. The Cubby Mermaid Sunday was AMAZING. Warm doughnut with ice cream, it was bliss! Lots of seating, great options for ice cream and just a perfect place.
A wonderful place to get some great treats! We have been at least once a week since we have been in Crystal River for the winter. Banana splits are so good! Donuts are awesome and the ice cream is so yummy!
Visited last night at closing time and the promptness and service was amazing all around. I had the cookie butter shake and it was the BEST milkshake I?ve ever had. I will be coming back often!
This is a great spot to visit for icecream and doughnuts in Crystal River. They fry the doughnuts on the spot and you can add any toppings to your liking. It is a quaint little shop with excellent customer service.
This is by far the best ice cream place that I have ever been too. The ?chubby mermaid? is a freshly made cake donut with ice cream on top and 2 toppings. When you get your order, the donut is still warm and soft and the ice cream is cold and creamy. It is a perfect marriage of deliciousness and sooooo good!!!! It?s not a cheap place, but you get what you pay for and the serving sizes are generous. They seem to have a steady stream of customers coming in and out every time we come. And?.. they let yo
THIS DONUT RUINED MY LIFE. We ordered ice cream and donuts and were peacefully eating in the sun on the deck, when the lovely owner offered us a free French toast donut. My life will never be the same, it was incredible and I will regret not living close enough to eat it on a regular basis.
Nice little eatery to get homemade ice cream and fresh made doughnuts. The doughnuts are literally made when you order them, and you get your choice of glaze, topping, and drizzle. The French toast doughnut tastes just like the real thing, and a maple glazed topped with bacon is simply wonderful. They also feature a small variety of bottled regional sodas and soft drinks. The staff and owners are very friendly and courteous, and the place is kept very clean. Plenty of outside seating to enjoy your treats.
This place was so yumm the donuts and ice cream were so good! Barbie was so so so sweet and kind!! She made the experience 10x better!! def will be coming back??
it's great, my kids love it, and they have a good variety of dairy free and no sugar added options as well for the icecream. if im going to eat a doughnut it would be from here.
The ice cream is so good and this place has the best whip cream! The young girl working here named Amiah is very friendly and helpful too!
Wow awesome little ice cream and fried donut with toppings shop. Everything was great and prices were very fair. You can sit out on the porch with the doggies!
This place couldn?t have been better! Very clean (even the bathroom which I appreciate), looks brand new, super cute inside and nice covered porch on outside with high quality tables/chairs, very friendly staff including the owner, and VERY yummy ice cream. We will be coming very often!!! Thank you!
The doughnuts were absolutely amazing, and the customer service was wonderful! It's a must-try. We're from Atlanta, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
Omg first time visit. Creamist iice cream I have ever had. There is a bazillion toppings availible. I opted for the chubby mermaid, which was a scoop of ice cream on a fresh donut. It was a little pricey, but it was awesome. We will definitely return and recommend it to others. Cool hard to find sodas in the front cooler.
DONUTS FRESH AT TIME OF ORDER!!! Tons of varieties for donuts AND ice cream!! Glazed cinnamon sugar & French toast are outstanding!! Highly recommend!!
Doughnuts are always fresh as they make them to order. Get the chubby mermaid! You will not be disappointed.
We?re from Michigan and found this gem on vacation. Some of the best ice cream we have had. It?s what we do on vacation, hunt up good ice cream at night. Yummy
Fantastic ice cream, great donuts, and wonderful service!!!! I quickly ordered a simple donut (you choose your toppings) because the place was about to close, and I didn?t notice until after I got the donut that there were different kinds of set donut toppings (like Oreos, s?mores, etc). I said to my husband that I was bummed I didn?t notice it before ordering, and right after we sat down outside to start eating, one of the staff brought out the donut I had wanted to try! It was really delicious and it was
Great icecream. Friendly staff. Tom (the owner) made a custom donut for my son! Highly recommend!
We stumbled upon this place and it was amazing! I?d say it was the best ice cream I?ve ever had! The blueberry cheesecake had big chunks of real cheesecake in it and a delicious blueberry flavor. The pistachio was creamy and refreshing and had real pieces in it, the flavor was on point. The donuts were warm and a perfect combo of soft (not gooey) and firm. It was just what I was craving. They also sell snow cones, we just didn?t try them this time. Best part is, it?s all HOMEMADE!
2 words - chubby mermaid! Cash tips preferred for the kind workers scooping delicious ice cream and making fresh donuts.
Soo good !Ok, so they make their doughnuts to order. So, no stale doughnuts for you . Fresh pipping hot doughnuts ?? ?? and if that's not your thing, they make their own ice cream!
WOW! Homemade Ice Cream, Sorbet, Sno Cones, AND made to order warm donuts! Love this fun place for a special treat!
Adorable spot for ice cream and sweet treats, we had the blueberry cheesecake ice cream and it was incredible! The owner even came out with a surprise French toast donut and it was off the charts! Don?t sleep on this spot, so delicious. Thank you!!!
Best donuts ever! Fresh every time and you can choose your own topping, don?t be afraid to choose special! They are very friendly too!
Ice cream and the donuts super delicious (homemade!) and the service is great! All the employees are very friendly, but the owner is the best. We love coming here!
My good friend and I were on a foodie tour and this was the final stop. This ice cream was the creamiest and best ice cream we had ever had! We took our doughnuts home to enjoy another day! The owner was absolutely delightful and we had a wonderful conversation with him about the ?Chubbie Mermaid?! This is a treat you don?t want to miss out on when in Crystal River!
Homemade ice cream. Great quality! We got choc peanut butter. SO GOOD! it was darker chocolate with tiny Reese?s pb cups frozen in it. Addictive! Shop is adorable inside and out.
Amazing home maid ice cream and fresh doughnuts. Get the chubby mermaid! If available Apple pie ice cream with caramel sauce , pecans, and Apple compote on the doughnut.
Great ice cream and friendly service! Next time I want to try the doughnuts, which also looked and smelled great.
Absolutely my new FAVORITE place for dessert ?? ??. The owner's and staff are top notch! It is the cutest most Delicious place to put a Smile on your face in Crystal River ????
