After eating at the food hall, I stopped by for a cone and went with the banana pudding ice cream…read more It was good overall, though I do wish the banana flavor came through a little stronger. I'll definitely have to come back and try another flavor in the future. Luckily for me, they also have a location in Tampa.

Bright Ice is the kind of place that reminds you what truly great ice cream should taste like. I…read morewent with the Kahlua Espresso and the Oat Around the World, and both completely exceeded expectations. The Kahlua Espresso was next-level -- rich, bold, and packed with real espresso beans that delivered an authentic coffee flavor in every bite. If you're a coffee lover, this is not optional. The Oat Around the World was just as impressive, loaded with generous chunks of homemade oatmeal cookie bars made right in the restaurant. It made every scoop feel indulgent while still perfectly balanced. The texture, creativity, and attention to detail really set Bright Ice apart from your typical ice cream shop. What truly elevated the experience was the outstanding service. The young lady Faith behind the counter was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about every flavor, and more than willing to let me sample as many of their unique offerings as I wanted. She was patient, engaging, and clearly passionate about the product -- the kind of service that turns a great visit into a memorable one. You can tell they care about ingredients, execution, and customer experience here. Easily one of the best ice cream experiences around, and I will absolutely be back without hesitation.

I called back specifically 4 times just waiting on the line. Horrible service. I really would have like to continue supporting this business but the people who work here are not great at customer service and thus will not get my business.

Rita's is a fun change up from your stereotypical ice cream. Their italian ice is refreshing, tart…read moreand full of flavor. There are quite a few flavors- dragonfruit, mango, cotton candy, pear, and a few others. They do have ice cream, though, if you'd still be wanting the mainstream. However, by far the best option to get from here is the gelati! Gelati is italian ice and ice cream mixed together- mind blown! It's smooth yet hits your flavor buds in the perfect couple of punches. I'd recommend going with plain vanilla ice cream and a fruity ice flavor, it's what I get every single time now. This Rita's location is an ordering window and then you eat outside. But it's a super nice setup. They also give discounts to students which is awesome. I'm really glad Rita's came to Lakeland!!

The ice cream is good tasting but not a good value. I'm going to spare you the boring math but the…read moreprice per ounce is outrageous. Seriously, you're paying as much per ounce for a cup of counter-service ice cream than you are for an elaborate, luxury dessert in a fine dining restaurant. Also, I think it's disrespectful for a counter-service shop to ask customers for tips. There are literally millions of stores and shops where they merely hand you what you're buying and don't expect a tip. Because, let's be honest here, that's the most basic form of commerce... I pay you for something and you hand it to me. Period. You didn't even walk it out to a table, you didn't do anything else other than hand me what I paid for. That doesn't warrant a tip! How is it that millions of other shops selling millions of other products understand that yet some shops selling food related items feel entitled to a tip for merely handing you what you've bought??? Lastly, the cashier didn't even offer me a receipt. Which, I will point out, businesses are required by federal law to do for credit card transactions and by state law for transactions involving sales tax. I don't intend to file any legal complaints since this is about the principle of the bad customer service.

It seems to be the people's choice in the Lakeland area. Look no further than the line, sometimes trailing to the parking lot on summer evenings. Bruster's seems to be as popular with the Little League crowd as no homework on Fridays. The flavors may veer a bit to the saccharine, at least for the adult palate. And some flavors in particular taste more chemical/artificial than natural and homemade (looking at you Raspberry Chocolate). But if you stick with the basics (chocolate, cookies and cream, etc) Bruster's will satisfy at any age.

Of all the ice cream joints, and there are many in Lakeland, this is the ONLY one to frequent. Friendly staff, nice bar, inside and outside seating, though it is a small place. Then there is the ice cream...lots and lots of unusual and favorite flavors, dirty sodas, fabulous milkshakes made to order, daily specials, ice cream to go....fabulous! On this visit, hubby had a very chocolate milkshake , made to order, I had a fabulous scoop of Salted Turtle, full of nuts and chocolate nuggets, and caramel.....outstanding. Every visit we try something different and we're never disappointed. Boy, it's good stuff. The store is in a shopping plaza with an Aldi, chinese food, other businesses....dinner and dessert at one stop! Go, you'll love it.

The Lakeland Ice Cream Company's are the BEST ice cream shops in Lakeland! There's hardly…read morecompetition and if you have been to one then you understand. Having this location in South Lakeland closer to where I live is dangerous. The original is in way North Lakeland, and there's also one in Mulberry (called the Mulberry Ice Cream Company). But regardless which store you go to, it's a consistent and delectable product. They have a dozens of flavor options, from a full case of sorbets to kiddie options like superman to all the chocolate heaven you could want. They handmake the ice cream and you can tell when you have it, it's just different than other places. I usually end up trying something different every time I come since there are so many options- there truly hasn't been one I haven't like yet. And you can taste test if you're having a hard time deciding, which would be understandable. This location is cute- it's where the south Swan Brewing bar used to be so they kept the bar up and refashioned it to work as more of an old school ice cream parlor feel. Another fun part of these ice cream companies- they also have homemade waffle cones, like literally almost double digit flavors, and you can get the famous ice cream burrito or ice cream nachos. If you're a fan of malt flavors the malts they make are fabulous too.

Lots of coffee shops being attracted to the Lakeland area lately, so it only makes sense Foxtail…read morewould join the mix. This is located in a new area just west of downtown- you have to park around back and walk up, there's no direct entry at the front as it faces the busy Kathleen Road. Inside, there's a lot of seating so it's meant to be a place to hang out catch up, do work, homework, or crafts as I saw some doing. It's very industrial feeling so not the coziest but it's got its own charm. I got a tea lemonade and enjoyed its freshness. They have a lot of coffee and tea offerings, many of the traditional options and always a few specialty or seasonal drinks. Something Foxtail is also doing with most new locations is combing it with a Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream. So if you don't want coffee but want a sweet treat, you could come here for ice cream instead. There's also a few options for outdoor seating.
