Mayport Scores A Sweet New Scoop As Wayli Ice Cream Moves In

Mayport is getting a little sweeter. Wayli Ice Cream is on the way to a 720-square-foot tenant space at 2550 Mayport Road No. 4, with a commercial permit listing a $32,000 build-out and AEC Integrated LLC as the contractor.

The project shows up on the city's list of largest commercial building permits issued June 9, 2026, according to the Jax Daily Record. In its June 11 "Development Today" roundup, the publication flagged Wayli Ice Cream as one of several new restaurant build-outs in the Mayport and Atlantic Beach corridor.

Who’s behind Wayli?

Public business filings show Wayli Ice Cream LLC registered with the state in late 2025, listing two principals and a Jacksonville mailing address, pointing to a homegrown operation. Records compiled by bisprofiles state the company was incorporated Nov. 20, 2025, and name Habibu Barrie and Mariama D. Diallo on the paperwork.

Contractor and build-out details

The permit identifies AEC Integrated LLC as the contractor for the 720-square-foot tenant upfit. Contractor listings describe AEC Integrated as a Jacksonville-area licensed contractor with recent small commercial and tenant improvement work on its resume, according to BuildZoom. The project valuation and compact footprint point to a counter-service setup rather than a full-scale restaurant kitchen.

Where in Mayport will it be?

The address at 2550 Mayport Road sits in a small commercial strip among other eateries and walk-up spots that cater to beach visitors and Naval Station Mayport personnel. Mayport Village is described as a working waterfront and tourist stop with steady seasonal foot traffic, according to Visit Jacksonville, and neighboring unit #5 at 2550 Mayport Road is home to Olympia Cafe.

Timeline and what to watch

The Wayli Ice Cream permit was recorded among those issued June 9, according to the Jax Daily Record. Projects of this size often wrap up in a matter of weeks if inspections and equipment deliveries cooperate. The next breadcrumbs to watch for are a business-tax receipt and health-department filings, which typically follow the build-out and come ahead of an official opening.
