    Kids cone and single scoop with two flavors in waffle cone
    Janel G.

    Great ice cream with unique flavors. Friendly service and nice small kids option available! Cool location at The Joinery which has several restaurants to choose from!

    This is a solid ice cream shop with good flavors. They have dairy and non-dairy options. You can also get pints of their ice cream. They allow you to sample the ice cream and I went with half-scoops of the Mars ice cream and Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream. Both were very good, the Pumpkin Cheesecake had a little too much cinnamon on its own for my preference, which is why I matched it with the Mars ice cream and that was the perfect combo for me. The customer service here is very good. It's located in The Joinery food hall and has plenty of seating all around.

    There is no such thing as too much ice cream. MayDay Ice Cream is a neighborhood staple at this point. You go grab dinner at any of the awesome stalls nearby and you stop at MayDay for a sweet treat afterwards. Flavors are their strong suit here and they have tons of fun and unique offerings. I've loved their lavender and honey flavors, but recommend literally all of them! I love sampling their seasonal flavors. Sometimes, the texture is a bit inconsistent depending on the flavor. They're all usually very creamy and delicious, but I've had a few experiences where the ice cream was hard and a bit chalky. Overall, it's not a big deal and that's what samples are for! Highly recommend if you're in the Lakeland area.

    Mayday Ice Cream is basically my Roman Empire. I'm lactose intolerant but I still pull up like it's my Super Bowl--zero fear, zero regrets. The rotating flavors are always cracked, never a flop, and that little waffle chip on the side? Literal king behavior. Yeah it's a bit pricey but i don't really care bc it's fire. Perfect tiny stall spot in a nice area next to the lake, great for a date with my wife which we did and she's the best.

    Great ingredients and flavor ... I wish I can see more places like this one ... natural ingredients makes the perfect flavor without any artificial colors or articula flavors ...

    Andalusia and Blue Sky Blues

    Best ice cream ever!!! If you get a combo of blue sky blues and andalusia, it will be amazing.

    Late night stop with my daughter for ice cream! Fun place with social vibe and lots of indoor and outdoor seating! Mayday's never disappoints!

    Mayday Ice Cream is inside The Joinery. You can sample flavors before you buy them. They have sorbet and yummy ice creams. If you buy 12 scoops, you earn a free one.

    Cookie Crush Ice Cream with sprinkles
    Alexis F.

    I loved Mayday Ice Cream!! This cute little shop that makes their own ice cream. I got the Cookie Crush ice cream and it was the best ice cream I've had in a long time. It was sweet but not too sweet, and had chucks of cookies in it. I got the sprinkles and they were also delicious!! They seemed to be homemade which isn't very common for ice cream places. If you're in the area I'd definitely stop by! They have the cutest seating outdoors to enjoy with the family.

    Welcoming staff that made my day.

    Visited the Mayday Ice Cream store in Lakeland. All of the flavors looked scrumptious. I decided to go with PassionFruit Golden Milk and totally delighted with this flavor. I am a BIG fan of Turmeric and that sold me. What I liked best about this ice cream is how light and smooth it felt when it melted in my mouth. There was not too much sugar rather it tasted like light honey with a hint of berries. Even the whipped cream tasted homemade. The cherry on top was the deep red that was soaked in a hint of rum. It might not have been in rum but it was hint so who can say. The Mayday Ice Cream shop is located inside The Joinery in Lakeland FL. This eatery hosts an assortment of eclectic food establishments that will be one of my MUST stop places to visit and eat for a taste of whatever my palette is craving.

    Single scoops, one with a pretzel cone
    Cheryl W.

    We stopped at the Lakeland location as part of our road trip and the ice cream didn't disappoint! The food hall has a fun vibe I wasn't expecting from Lakeland and the layout made it easy to find and line up to order. Staff was friendly and patient with questions and recommendations. The only downside was the pretzel cone which I was really excited about, especially to pair with my peanut butter and chocolate ice creams, but as a pretzel lover, found it lacking pretzel flavor and almost tasting undercooked and bland. The ice cream was the exact opposite, luckily, packed with flavor and great ingredients and texture combos. My friend who is gluten free was also able to find multiple flavors she was excited about and we both appreciated that you could do 2 different flavors in the single scoops size. Bonus that they offered Hyppo pops in the cooler!

    Topped with sprinkles and maraschino cherries made in house
    Yoonie L.

    Such a great little ice cream shop located inside The Joinery! My husband had taken our kids there last year after taking them to a museum nearby. We were in town visiting family and I must have been MIA working from my in-laws place. They sent me pics from Mayday and they had raved about the ice cream then! This year, we were back in town and we decided to go there after grabbing dinner nearby so I could try it too! It's a small kiosk but it is jam packed of goodies! Things to note: - Flavors - They seemed to have 24 flavors in the case, all such interesting flavors. By the looks of the menu, they have 16 classic flavors and 8 seasonal flavors. - Cones - they make their waffle cones on site, but they also have the sugar one and a surprising new type, the pretzel! Such a unique option! Never seen that one before. Have you? - Toppings - Even the toppings seem to have been thought out. The sprinkles are different, more pastel colored and thinner. Just prettier. They make their own Maraschino cherries. That's cool! When you order scoops in bowls, they stick a waffle cookie in it! The bowl is rectangular too, so they scoop the ice cream side by side instead on top so that I can try each flavor and alternate instead of having to eat whatever flavor is on top, finishing it and then eating the one at the bottom and then wished you had more of the one you had on top. They really thought this through and I appreciate it so much! - Taste test - they don't mind you sampling anything at all. Score (!) for people like me who have order fright. I got: Raja honey - Jasmine green tea & honey Sunday best banana pudding - like a banana pudding Both were creamy and so, so delicious. The jasmine portion was right on the money. The only thing I would says though is that the honey was maybe slightly overpowering. The Sunday Best banana pudding was perf! The consistency is so creamy, kinda like gelato texture, but a bit more frozen if that makes sense. Reminds me of texture and consistency of Gelati Celesti in Va Beach for the peeps back home. Also, my kids remembered that they got stickers from Mayday last year, of Hyppo (it was a popsicle), and come to find out, on a separate visit, we have been to a popsicle place in St Augustine called Hyppo and it turns out, same owners! (Must stop if you're in St Augustine btw). These people obviously know how to make frozen treats! Grab some dinner at any of the vendors in The Joinery and then be sure to save some room for the ice cream at Mayday! Stay safe, Friends!

It occupies a beautiful spot just a few blocks outside the main square in downtown Lakeland. The interiors of this donut cafe are tastefully decorated, and they have ample seating should you choose to enjoy your specialty donuts there soon after being served up. While it was hard narrowing down my selection since everything sounded great, I went with their cookies and cream donut (5/5) based on the recommendation of one of the staff members. It was quite possibly one of the best donuts I've had in years, with perfect donut texture as you bit into it, with all the delectable flavors of the indulgent cookies and cream on top. Not only was the donut excellent, but they are served up in tastefully retro boxes which just added to an already amazing experience. While I am generally underwhelmed with donut places, my experience with Parlor Doughnuts recalibrated my scale to what a delicious and ideal donut experience should be, and look forward to trying out their other locations in my future travels. A special thanks to Parlor Doughnuts for raising the bar in the donut game.

The burrito was the size of your hand - I barely saw the egg and cheese in the burrito - It was ok but for the price4 it was not aq bad meal. They need to steam the flour tortilla IMO it makes teh burrito softer to eat. The grease you can taste it had the donut taste to it they use the same grease to fry the donuts and hashbrowns. I like the coffee here because its unlimited and fresh made in glass pitchers. I like the Coconut Creme creamer because it reminds me of how my mom love this creamer on her coffee. Also bought 6 pcs of donuts for $9.50 the owner gave me a free extra donut - Bought strawberry glaze, original glaze, cinnamon roll, apple fritter, chocolate french crueller, starwberry jelly, blueberry jelly. These donuts are known to be so tender and soft and light - that is why this place is popular with locals. It is asian owned and they are known for delicious light fluffy donuts.

So far Donut Palace has earned the local area 5 star rating for donuts. Albeit they don't have a plethora of donuts to choose from, there was enough variety to satisfy any lover of donuts. The posted hours are until noon (12pm for those who are unfamiliar with the word - lol jk I think) and I arrived a little after 11am. The donuts I purchased were all still very fresh (2 thumbs up). We really liked the donuts, which included lemon and raspberry filled powdered, apple fritter, cinnamon roll, and a couple of glazed. The powdered, which were for me, were NOT overly sweet and the dough was fresh and soft, almost melting in my mouth. The wife enjoyed her apple fritter, which was on the small size, and cinnamon roll. The glazed were not overpowering sweet, like a Krispy Kreme (no thanks). There really are not many donuts shops in the area, besides numerous Dunkins which I was never fond of, so if I find one that bests this place I will review it and downgrade this one a star, but for the moment it's 5 stars and we will return. BTW, the lady running the place was very nice.
