After a day of unpacking moving boxes we all wanted a cool sweet treat and decided to try Jeremiah's Italian Ice. We almost drove away when we saw the long line that reached the parking lot but decided to stick it out and give it a try. Figured if the locals are willing to wait in line, it must be good! This is a pick up only window with tables outside for customers to enjoy their treats but there is no indoor seating. The walk up counter had two windows and both were staffed with friendly cashiers. The line moved quickly but with enough time for us to figure out the ordering system and to sort through the many options available from the menu board posted on the sidewalk. There are at least 5 sizes (that I can remember) to choose from and thankfully I was sharing a medium otherwise it would have been too much for one person and I only did two steps out of the 3. I chose to create my own and selected the coconut Italian ice with the Chocolate Gelati in a medium cup. The rest of the family ordered from the Frog Squad Favorites list, which are creations designed to remind you of other favorite sweet treats. One ordered a small Frosted Animal Cracker and one ordered a small S'More. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their selections. We had fun sitting outside and the entire time while we ate our Italian ice , there was always a line of customers. We quickly understood why this is such a hit amongst the Gainesville community! read more

I came here with a group of my friends one evening and really enjoyed it! Jeremiah's serves a variety of gelati, which is soft serve with Italian ice. They have their own creations or you can make your own. You can also order just the Italian ice or just the soft serve. It is a window shop sort of deal. So there is only outdoor seating available. Don't be intimidated by the line, as it is usually quite busy. The staff is on it and very efficient. Ordering is simple, you order at the window and they make it there on the spot to you and serve it to you right away. The customer service is so kind and they are very efficient! I ended up ordering the S'mores creation which is one of their cookie butter crumble favorites. It included chocolate and cookie butter shaved ice, a chocolate-vanilla swirl of soft serve, and cookie butter crumbles. I ordered a small and it was the perfect size! They layered the cup with the crumbles, soft serve, and Italian ice flavors. I was surprised with how much I enjoyed this. While it didn't scream "S'mores" to me, because it lacked some of the key ingredients of S'mores, it was flavorful nonetheless. I appreciated the balance between the various components and textures. The soft serve is so creamy, while the Italian ice is quite smooth, and the cookie crumbles added a nice crunch. Very yummy! Overall, I will most definitely be returning to Jeremiah's for more delicious treats. The service is awesome and I am more than impressed with how efficient the staff is. The line is long, but it moves right along. They offer so many different flavors, there is surely something for anyone. There is outdoor seating available, but it is limited. I would recommend checking it out if you are in the mood for a sweet treat! read more

The PERFECT after dinner dessert stop! Even with a line, the wait is worth it. They have a lot of sweet and sour flavor combos. You can also try different flavors before ordering.

I have been to a few different locations, and Jeremiah's ice is always delicious! I always get it with the ice cream layers as well, I personally think it's much better that way and definitely recommend! I have tried sooo many flavors but my favorite is still cookie butter. The service at this location is good, though the line tends to back up quite a bit so be prepared to wait! The seating area is nice, though I wish there was an indoor area to sit when the weather isn't great. This place is perfect for a little sweet treat on a hot day! read more

This is a little bit different review for me. Saw this place the other day and then a Co- Worker recommended it so we had to try it. With the amount of people there, I knew it had to be good.

If you have not tried Jeremiah's, don't walk...RUN. I have been a fan of Jeremiah's for several years now and so happy that the franchise has made its mark in Gainesville. Everytime you to Jeremiah's, there's a line - which is a good thing in my eyes. I really like that Jeremiah's has a variety of flavors and combinations for every person's preference. I typically get the gelati - italian ice/soft serve mix and it doesn't disappoint at all! For my treat I got a small cake batter italian ice with vanilla soft serve ice cream and sprinkles added in between each layer. It resembles the taste of a birthday cake. This place is great for all ages and this location has an area where you can sit outside at a table and enjoy your sweet treat! The service is always is great and efficient! Anytime I have a dessert or ice cream craving, Jeremiah's is always is a 10/10 and will satisfy my sweet tooth! read more

Located in the plaza, there's ample parking but the line can be found to be super long reaching ends of past Nothing Bundt Cake. But with good reason, their staff is quick and nice and friendly when you are indecisive about which flavors to try. Their soft serve ice cream is a must, heck even better than McDonalds! I love getting their strawberry gelato but I like the variety provided. Such a fun place to go for a quick sweet treat! read more

Jeremiah's never disappoints, the gelati with ice cream is my favorite. I usually get Oreo cookies mix in, the staff are very nice and friendly. Lines can be long but they move along quickly. read more

I finally tried it and I'm not a fan. I know what gelato is but was not familiar with gelati. Is it the plural of gelato? Nope. Gelati is soft serve "ice cream" mixed with flavored ice. It's sickly sweet, creamy and different than any ice cream or gelato I've ever tried. Jeremiah's is popular and well organized. The service is friendly and there is nice outdoor seating. The gelati was just too sweet for me and upset my stomach. Life is good but not with gelati. read more

Wow, another amazing gem that I have discovered on a whim! Was looking for a refreshing dessert after my dinner date, and really wanted something cold. Jeremiah's came up on my recommendations and it was really close by, so my partner and I decided to give the place a try. Located in a really convenient spot, this walk-up place offered quick service. Pictured, I got the cookies and cream gelati with layers of Oreo cookie crumbles! The Italian ice was amazing and my favorite part--icy and refreshing! And the soft serve added a touch of creaminess along with the crunch of the Oreo bits! Definitely recommend a visit here if you are in need of something cold to battle the Florida heat! read more

A cute logo goes a long way because this is place is always busy even though it's identical to McDonald's soft serve. The Oreo cookie crumbles are such low-quality, you can't taste an ounce of cocoa. Cheap ingredients make it taste like you're eating a cup of high fructose corn syrup. Wildly overpriced. Leave this place for the college students who just want to post a good IG photo. If you want life-changing soft serve ice cream, drive 5 minutes to Menchie's!! read more

I've had my eye on Jeremiah's ever since this place opened! I love Italian ice and iced cream so when I found out you can combine the two, I was super excited! When we got to the ordering booth, we saw they had so many options! It was really difficult to choose from all the flavors. Thankfully they let us sample some of the flavors. I decided on the mango and it was a great choice! It was refreshing and delicious. It's a great place to come with friends when we're craving something sweet. I will be back to try the other flavors soon. read more

Amazing dessert place! They have a wide variety of flavors of italian ice alongside a couple custard flavors. The custard here is like many of the others at similar places (but not fast food esque) and is absolutelyyyy amazing. I love the custard here like nowhere else and it's worth it! I personally love mango and recommend the mango gelati (which comes with italian ice and custard). You can also get just one or the other. If you've ever had rita's, this is a very similar vibe and just as delicious. Wholeheartedly recommend it. read more

Service was great, only 1 employee working, she sure did her best trying to keep up on a busy day, she had a smile on her face and was happy to help. Flavors are vibrant and delicious.

Jeremiah's is the best for Italian ice and they have so many different flavors I always get the 1/2 Italian ice and 1/2 soft serve my favorite flavors is probably cookies and cream, cake batter, and then the cotton candy the only thing that sucks about this Jeremiah's is especially at nighttime they're really busy and the line is long. They recently updated their menu to include toppings which I think is a game changer. The last time I went I got a peanut butter one and they put tons of chocolate chips which made it so much better. At Jeremiah's you walk up to a window to order and then people sit outside to enjoy their ice cream. Overall one of my favorite ice cream places that is not too overpriced read more

Their ice cream soft serve is never broken like *cough* McDonald's *cough* someone I know. And it's way way better like it's not even close. It's incredibly creamy and then best of all is that you can swirl in Italian ice which is why I tend to do. It makes every flavor that much better and once you add the crunchies. Ugh it's hard to go back to any other soft serve. Definitely worth the line that they get because it hits the spot every time. Periodt. read more

Great new dessert spot in Gainesville! This place always has a line and it is for a good reason. They have a variety of sizes and flavors. It reminded me of Rita's water ice from when I'm from. It is definitely better than Rita's. I got a small gelati and it was the perfect size. After taste testing a few, I got the cookies and cream gelati. It was so good and not like anything I've had before. Everything was also very reasonably priced! Next time, I really want to try one of the extra toppings in mine. I will definitely be back! read more

Jeremiahs was my first gelati experience...and it was phenomenal! Highly recommend the italian ice x soft serve combination.

Was so excited when I heard that Jeremiah's was coming to Gainesville! I usually go for the more fruity flavors, but my friend and I decided to order the cookies and cream ice with vanilla ice cream swirled together at the grand opening, and it tasted great! Would definitely recommend getting any of their ices swirled with their ice cream :) read more

It was so delicious. I got their peanut butter flavor and it was rich. I am glad that Gainesville now has a Gelati place in addition to food truck. Gainesville now has traditional American ice cream like Sweet Dreams, Yogurt place like yougurtology, rollable ice cream, and hong kong egg waffle ice cream place. I now wish Gainesville to have Japanese Hawaian place like Matcha Cafe Maiko. read more

I don't want to tell you what my favorite flavors are because I don't want them to be sold out when I go to buy them. I first had this one a friend brought it to our house and we mixed it with rum to make an adult beverage. I've had a couple of different flavors here and just opt for the half gallon option which is about nine bucks. I think that they do great business. If you sign up for the app, I think you get a free small treat at your next visit. The people are always friendly and you can kiss multiple flavors. Would definitely recommend for adults and kids. It is a walk up window and that's very convenient so you can either hang out or take it to go. read more

Believe the hype. We finally checked this place out; my husband is not a fan of Italian ices but loves soft serve so we thought this would have something for both of us. It didn't disappoint. He had the small chocolate vanilla swirl and I had the small caramel gelati, a combination of vanilla soft serve and caramel Italian ice. I didn't have any mix-ins, which was just fine as the combination was sweet yet refreshing. The small serving is plenty, IMO, for someone with an average appetite. Portion is generous. We'll be back! Nice place. read more
