    Blueberry cinnamon, orange coconut , lemon ginger and oatmeal cookies
    Michelle W.

    The ice cream flavors are different in a good way. We had lemon ginger, coconut cake, blueberry cinnamon, oat of this world. They were all delicious and the service was top notch. Loved the comfortable orange string chairs out front

    Lakeland's newest ice cream spot does not disappoint! I have been to a Bright Ice location in Tampa so I was excited when I heard they were coming to Lakeland. This is located at the very edge of Dixieland across the street from Cob & Pen, and now next door to By the Chef pizza and a wine garden. So it's a pretty great spot with a lot of stuff to walk to nearby. I love the theme here too- Bright Ice is BRIGHT and vibrant; and it feels more like an old school ice cream shop with the big sphere lights and burnt orange & yellow primary colors, and wood furnishing. Their ice creams are wonderful, I think they're handmade in house? Or at least that's how they taste, there's no way it's manufactured scream because it's too good. And they have atypical flavors which I always appreciate because it's fun to try unique ice creams and not just have the same flavors you see at every shop. But along with ice cream, they do serve coffee here as well. Better yet, you can add a shot of espresso to your shake or get an affogato and have the best of both worlds. I will be back to try one or both for sure. Parking is behind the building but could get difficult as it's shared with the pizza place & wine garden and isn't real big to begin with. They have limited seating and there is some outdoor seating, but with the wine garden next door now too I think it'll be a good place to sit out and enjoy. Definitely a great addition to the area.

    Oat of this World + Roasted Strawberries with Brown Sugar and Balsamic
    Ryan B.

    We stopped in after dinner next door and we're so glad we did! The employees were extremely friendly and allowed us to sample a few items. Ended up choosing Oat of this World and Roasted Strawberries with Brown Sugar and Balsamic. This was some of the creamiest, most flavorful ice cream! If you've had Chill Bros in Tampa, I'd put Bright Ice on par with them. The flavor selection and portion size were top notch especially for the value. There's some cozy seating inside and a nice patio out front, too, which we enjoyed. Highly recommend!

    Ice cream is fresh, creamy, tasty and smooth. All made in house and they even have non-dairy options! Staff was friendly, attentive and quick. Great decor w/ inside and outdoor seating options

    I had a great first experience, once inside, with their dedicated & well-versed employees. I enjoyed my affogato with coffee ice cream and the flowers on their beautiful front patio overlooking S Fl Av. I'll look forward to getting back to try the coffee drinks and shakes. Love that they make their own ice cream (in the Tampa store). Unfortunately parking will be the "beef" for the location. The parking lot is not "well made" and my van def bottomed out on the way in and out of the space. That being said, until I discover or luck into better parking for my vehicle I'm not likely to return.

    Peach Crisp
    Michelle B.

    Stumbled across this ice cream shop heading to the dry cleaners. We stopped in and immediately noticed the flavors were unique and different. I got the peach crisp. It tasted just like peach cobbler! My husband got a scoop of blueberry and cinnamon and a scoop of espresso with kahlua. Those were amazing as well. Cant wait to come back and try more flavors

They sell Taiyaki sandwiches that seem to be made of a batter similar to waffle cones filled with sweet and savory ingredients. The waffle is pressed into the shape of a fish. Order 1 for a snack or 2-3 (3/12) for a meal. I had the Toasty which was like a grilled cheese with scallions and black sesame seeds. Simply delightful. My friend had the Anko which is filled with a Japanese sweet bean paste. She liked hers as well. You place your order and wait 5 minutes. There were three of us and our fishes came out pronto. When you order you see WAFU ice cream waffle cones. Visually these are beautiful and unusual flavors. They fill the cones with vanilla or matcha ice cream. If I had not been bundled up for a January day I would have taken a licking. Like them on FB for dates and locations.

Their taiyaki is delicious- I ordered their grilled cheese taiyaki but I've had their other flavors before. They are super cute and filling, and I even got to try their Cherry Blossom soft serve made from real cherry blossoms! It was perfect on a sunny day (even though the weather was a little chilly). I highly recommend trying Wafu Taiyaki if they pop up at an event near you!

Believed to be a "Scratch Kitchen", this amazing find has a menu that I find myself excited about returning to try. We ordered a drink and an order of the Frescos Egg Rolls.

We opted not to order a main course due to eating just a couple hours prior but I knew right then and there that I'd be back to try other selections from the menu.

Appetizer of fried green tomatoes was marred by slices of tomato that were so thick that the knives on the table were incapable of cutting them. This same issue carried over to the green tomato blt, which was almost impossible to eat bc of bread that was also too thick. The bacon was so overcooked as to be dry sticks that shattered into tiny bits when you tried to eat the sandwich. The fries were allegedly hand cut, but looked & tasted like (cold) seasoned frozen steak fries. The FSKB chicken salad croissant was just a soggy mess. And the eggs Benedict featured "Canadian Bacon", which is a US marketing term for round slices of bacon, not Back Bacon or Peameal Bacon that is actually served in Canada. Overpriced & not worth a second try.

If you can find a way to get here though you absolutely should. I've been here a couple times and had people bring me things from here and I'm always very happy.

I highly recommend the cookies here. I really love cookies, but their brown butter cookie is incredible. The pastries are really good too. I really enjoy the glazed croissant and I recently had a lemon twist that was very good. Finally, the sandwiches that I've had from here are both really good as well.

With how popular this spot is, I'm honestly surprised they don't have someone helping guide new customers through the ordering process. Even when ordering online, the atmosphere can feel pretty loud and hectic because of the crowds. That said, the food is amazing! I truly wish them the best because they definitely have something special. They just need to find a better way to manage the flow of customers and make the overall experience a little smoother.
