I scream, you scream, we all scream for
Orange Octopus ice cream. This little Siesta Key shop, located behind Captain Curt’s, churns its ice cream on-site and offers a variety of flavors, from classics like chocolate, vanilla and (green) mint chip to more nuanced ones like Kentucky honey bourbon (our pick), chocolate hazelnut and vanilla black cherry chip. Every single one is creamy (no ice crystals) and perfectly flavored. Order a scoop or two in cup or a cone ($3.75 for a small), or go all-out and get a shake or a sundae; you won’t be disappointed. (P.S. Orange Octopus offers coffee, too.)
