They did have a fair amount of Gluten Free yogurts and the signs were very visible. You make your own yogurt cup here and add whatever you like. The server had the personality of a wet mop and wasn't friendly at all. She just stood there, no talking except for telling us the price. I don't think I will be coming back any time soon.

The flavor was rich and creamy, and the best part...You even get a scoop of cookie dough on top, which takes it over the top in the best way. Taste was fresh and no freezer taste. The inside is super cute and thoughtfully decorated, making it a great spot for a picture or a quick selfie while you enjoy your treat. It has such a fun, welcoming vibe. They has have seating inside to relax and enjoy. They have late hours, which makes this the perfect stop for a nighttime sweet craving, or a refreshing way to cool down on those hot Florida days. Beyond the ice cream, they offer a large variety of boba teas and other drink options, so there's something for everyone. And the staff were super friendly and helpful! If you're in Punta Gorda and love dessert, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back again!

Yum!! We stopped into Venice Ave Creamery for a quick treat…read morebefore hitting the road back home. They were extremely busy the line was out the door but moving quickly. While we waited outside there was gentleman playing music and singing praise to the Lord. Once we got inside you can see all the flavors of the board which helps a lot because we were helped almost immediately after walking in the door. The girl who helped us asked what kind of flavors were we looking for and she worked quickly to get us our treats. My kids ended up getting the chocolate peanut butter eggs and a scoop of cookie dough with caramel. It was a little pricey I think for both the kids ice cream was $17. Both of their ice cream flavors were spot on and tasted of good quality. Very fresh and the texture was very creamy and smooth. Overall it was delicious and we enjoyed our experience.

The line is very long for good reason: fantastic ice cream with so many flavor options! Cute story: in the long line our little girls made friends with the people ahead of us--and the gentleman insisted on paying for the children's ice cream. How sweet was that on Valentine's Day! To keep the spirit of love going, girls made a donation to a talented street musician nearby! We tried cake, mint chocolate chip, Oreo--all chock-a-block filled with the stir ins and flavor. An ice cream institution!

When I walked in, both owners were present. They're doing a great job getting the business off the ground, and they've only been open for three months. I drank a medium roast Guatemalan coffee, which is known for its unique flavor profile and high quality. Apparently the Guatemalan is one of the most sought-after coffees in the world. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it to be full-bodied with rich flavors. While I didn't get a chance to try their baked goods this time, I plan to on my next visit. Bottom line... I'm confident this café will quickly become a favorite among Venice coffee enthusiasts. Salute!

It's also located in the oldest building along US 41 between Venice and Tampa, built in 1923 and once home to the first bank and post office in Sarasota County. Definitely a fun bit of history you don't expect with your meal. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with shaded outdoor seating and a cozy, bright indoor dining room. While they offer plenty of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options, I went for the classic corned beef Reuben on marble rye with a side of organic, gluten-free mac and cheese. Both were excellent, and the clear dietary labels on the menu were a nice touch. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you're looking for great food with healthy options.
