We found ourselves at Mayday Ice Cream, and it did not disappoint. Such a fun, family-friendly spot with great vibes and even better flavors. The staff were kind and welcoming, even coming by to check in and see which flavor my kid liked best a small gesture that made a big impression. They also have a great outdoor seating area, set up with shade and heating lamps perfect for enjoying a day out no matter the weather. The area's perfect too you've got La Nopalera and Panera Bread right next door, so you can grab lunch, then top it off with some amazing ice cream. For the grown-ups, don't skip the Gillespie's Bourbon Pecan rich, creamy, and a little indulgent in all the right ways. My daughter went for The Wingman two scoops of Coffee & Donuts with Chocolate a winning combo! They also offer an ice cream flight (yes, a flight!) with six mini scoops perfect if you want to get chocolaty wasted in style. Can't wait to come back and work my way through the rest of the menu!

The young lady working that evening was EXTREMELY friendly and handled each order with care. With perfect portions and clear pricing, it remains a dependable stop for customizable ice cream in Jacksonville. We had such as great experience that we will be back in the near future. Pros: * Ice Cream - Smooth, well‑balanced ice cream with a strong selection of flavors * Toppings - UNLIMITED toppings available, add as many as they like * Service - Exceptionally friendly service during our visit, especially from the staff member working on 4/17 * Cleanliness - Clean counter area and efficient preparation Cons: * Seating - Limited indoor seating during peak times * Parking - It is San Marco square so parking is limited * Wait - Times may increase when larger groups arrive - especially if they are like us and have to make up your mind on the base flavor A well‑run ice cream shop with quality offerings, standout friendliness, and the fun option of unlimited toppings. A solid 4‑star experience.

We walked in just as a group of 4 were finishing up their order which gave us time to check out the menu. Hubby ordered a cup of sweet cream ice cream with Oreos and cookie dough. I ordered a cup of chocolate ice cream with brownies, cookie dough and chocolate sauce. The ice cream itself was good as were the mix ins. Nothing seemed special about it. Obviously, the concept is similar to Cold Stone which I think is way better. The two girls working were carrying on a conversation the whole time we were in there which I thought was pretty rude. I wasn't overly impressed by their ice cream or service. With the strong competition around town, I doubt we will be back.

My wife and I stopped by on a Saturday for a tour of the candy making facility, where we learned a lot about how the chocolates and other candies are made, and we were even able to design and enjoy our own custom chocolate bar. This place has everything that a fan of sweets and fun can enjoy - retro candy, a colorful environment, and enthusiastic staff. From our tour with Joy, our complimentary sea salt caramel from Barbara, everybody on staff provided a joyous afternoon. The tour is highly recommended, where you'll get to see how the product is made, and even get to see one of the original Golden tickets from the original Wonka movie. Pricing for the tour is very reasonable, and it's a great way to spend an afternoon. Parking was easy right around the corner from the front entrance. If you're in the Jacksonville area, this is a fun event for people of all ages!

It felt like a lot of Indians with no clear chief. The tour starts in the chocolate room, gotta love that! Chocolate covered chips, cookies, marshmallows and fudge all around. The restaurant was filled with dirty tables, the bar was in disarray. The food portions looked small however at least it kept coming out! The owners family has been in the candy business for years and he still works there everyday, that's awesome! :)) I'm glad we checked it out. Thank you Sweet Petes! You can trust me, I am a candy eating American. ;D

This place has so many options that it can feel overwhelming, but they took their time to guide me and made sure I got exactly what I wanted.

That kind of service makes a huge difference--and is exactly why I came back the next day. Highly recommend this location. I'll definitely be back again!

I went with the waffle cone with chocolate ice cream and rainbow sprinkles. It was delicious. One of the employees was kind enough to hold the cone and pose for a picture for me. Now that is great customer service.

We stopped by for some Mr softee ice cream, the consistency somewhere between whipped standard ice cream with a little similarity to soft serve. They have plenty of options available from ice cream nachos, sundaes, cones, beverages and so much more. The staff is super friendly, and it's an absolutely wonderful treat along IGP aka 9 Mile. Pricing is reasonable considering the product, and they seem to offer a lot of specials along with a frequent rewards program. There's a freezer with plenty of to-go options as well, offering anything you could possibly imagine. Overall, a great addition to the newly developing area just west of US1 and Palencia.

The old fire station transformed into a jewel box of deliciousness and fun. Then the secret ingredient, mentioned by many, how could you overlook it... the owner here, Mari, is a treasure. Not surprising that Mari was a nurse for many years. She cares for her customers in the same way a good nurse would, doing whatever it takes to make sure we're well cared for. When we arrived, she opened the cool little window and knew we hadn't been here before. It's obvious from watching the people coming in that she knows ALL of her customers... even remembering what they order too! She said, "Give me a second, I'm coming around to explain the menu." In a flash, she was out front, explaining the menu, how they created some of the specials, even offering a taste of a few things she said we had to try. What's going on? Is she for real? Can she be this dedicated? I was in awe of her kindness, caring, generosity and passion for what she is doing. No doubt she must have been an amazing nurse! Oh yeah, the ice cream. Fantastic! Delicious!! This must be what heaven is like.

As a self-proclaimed ice cream connoisseur and a total sucker for a good soft-serve cone, Dreamette…read moreis an easy favorite for me--and the Springfield location definitely holds its own. I've visited several times now, and I'd rank it as my second favorite location, right behind Hendrix Avenue. I've tried the Neapolitan swirl and the chocolate-vanilla swirl, and while the vanilla is really solid, the chocolate doesn't quite do it for me. The strawberry leaned a little artificial in flavor, so not my personal favorite there either. However, my wife absolutely loves their non-dairy Dole Pineapple, so there are definitely wins depending on what you like. Beyond the ice cream itself, I really love the decor and overall vibe of this location. It's bright, fun, welcoming, and has that nostalgic ice cream stand charm. The service is always friendly, which makes every visit feel like a treat in more ways than one. Overall, this is a great spot to satisfy a sweet tooth, and I'd definitely stop in again whenever I'm in the area. If you're a soft-serve fan, it's worth the visit!l

I got the German chocolate cake (this apparently isn't their normal one) and my husband got the dulce cheesecake. The waitress we had was great, and she recommended lots of tips and favorites to try. The only negative thing that I would say is that it's a bit cramped, so it was very loud and hard to hear each other at points. This was an amazing dinner. We will be back

Calamari was prepared well and not too chewy. We shockingly each chose a salad: the bistro steak, the chop chop Asian, the goat cheese, and the salmon. Each one was incredible. Mine was the chop chop and I absolutely loved it! It was HUGE and you can bet I ate every single bite. Loved it!' We finished with the brownie topped with ice cream for the birthday girl, it was extremely tasty! Thanks again to Evan for making our night! He was a fantastic waiter!
