you can use this in the loops

<?php echo get_post_type_object(get_post_type())->labels->singular_name; ?>

Get the post_type object to get the labels' singular_name or plural name,

$post_type_obj = get_post_type_object( 'ice_cream' );
echo $post_type_obj->labels->singular_name; //Ice Cream.
echo $post_type_obj->labels->name; //Ice Creams.

If you are using wordpress custom post type, then you can get required info by following funcitons:

  1. Custom post type label

    $post_type = get_post_type_object( get_post_type($post) ); $post_type->label

  2. Custom field title

    $field_name = "ice_cream"; //slug of custom field "Ice Cream" $field = get_field_object($field_name);

so you can use them in your breadcrumb as: $post_type->label / $field['label']

I believe the Breadcrumb NavXT Wordpress plugin has support for using custom post types in breadcrumb navigation:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/breadcrumb-navxt/

http://mtekk.us/code/breadcrumb-navxt/

Hopefully the plugin should help you resolve your issues.
