We were both very happy with our chocolate waffle cones when we came back the next day.

The brownies are fantastic!

After a night out in downtown Ocala, I was wanting a sweet treat to finish it off. It seems like…read morethere is not a lot of ice cream options in downtown Ocala, especially that are open on Mondays. Luckily, we saw online that Twistee Treat was open until 10:30 PM. We hurried on out and made it a few minutes before they closed. Twistee Treat is located in a standalone building at the front of a shopping complex. There is plenty of parking, and we had no issue finding a spot upon arrival. You will have no problem locating it, because it is literally a giant ice cream cone! This is a walk up stand, so no indoor seating, but there are plenty of tables and benches on the patio for you to use. Loved the atmosphere at this place. It is fun and inviting with all of the colors, and of course with the ice cream cone building. It seems like a lot of young people come here to hang out, and bring some energy to the space. The lights were fun to see as well, since it was dark. We came here on a Monday in July, and arrived about 10 minutes before they closed. There was still a line, but I believe we were one of the last to order for the night. The line went fast, and we were waited on in just a matter of minutes. My fiancé had previously visited this spot, but it was my first time. I took some time to look over the menu, and man they have a great selection here! It is soft serve, but they make several different concoctions and novelty items that keep it interesting. Most menu items have "signature" options, but everything seems to be customizable if you want to make your own treat. Even with the novelty items, it seems like everything is made to order. So, it is easy to customize and order something exactly that you are wanting. We ended up ordering three treats, even though I truthfully wanted to try everything on the menu! I ordered a small Twirl with Oreos and Praline Pecans. I had never seen Praline Pecans as a mix-in at an ice cream shop before, so that was something new and fun to try! My fiancé ordered a medium Twirl with Oreos, Reese Cups, and Brownies. He really enjoyed this! I also really wanted to try a Waffle Taco, so we got one with Reese Cups. It was absolutely LOADED with Reese's! We took this home to try another day, and it was still awesome after being in the freezer for a couple days. Definitely large enough to share. On all the menu items, the toppings were extremely generous! The staff were all very friendly, and also helpful in answering my questions regarding the menu. I noticed when we received the one Twisters that was supposed to have brownies, they were missing. I asked one of the girls at the window if we could just get a cup of them on the side, and she was apologetic for the situation and more than willing to give a cup of the brownies. I appreciated the customer service and willingness to rectify the situation, even when they were starting to work to close for the night. I thought the prices were very reasonable. You definitely get your money's worth with anything that you order. As said, portions and topping amounts are plentiful and generous. I believe our bill for the three items was around $16 or $17 dollars. Overall, I was extremely impressed with my first trip to Twistee Treat. It has a great ambiance, menu, and the service was top-notch. Would be a great spot to stop on a date night or with the family. The hours are also great - it seems like there is not a ton open late night anymore, but at times this place is open until 11:30 PM. I look forward to my next trip to Ocala to stop here again and try more of the awesome menu!

My son ordered some dessert tonight from Jeremiah's and it was delicious…read more There is Italian ice, ice cream, Jelati, cakes and ice cream sandwiches. We each had ice cream with Jelati which was so refreshing and very different than what you'd find in most ice cream shops. The flavors are very unique and they have wonderful mix ins which I must try next time. Since my son ordered for me and this was spur of the moment I just had ordered pretty basic. Basic but I have to say still different than most other brands still. My Jelati was cheesecake and it was indeed fresh, tasty and fabulous! My ice cream was chocolate and the same as it was scrumptious! The two flavors swirled together were outstanding but if I would have known more about the place and looked at the menu I would have added some mix ins ! Honestly I may have tried one of their other flavors because they all seem so different and outrageous. We had it delivered and everything went splendid but I'd love to go and have a visit and the experience of seeing Jeremiah's for myself.

From day one, the owner has made us feel welcomed, remembered, and truly part of his world, and that level of hospitality is something you can't manufacture. It's real, and it's why this place stands out. The gelato is on another level entirely. I've traveled, tasted, and tried gelato in major cities and abroad, and nothing (absolutely nothing) compares to what's being crafted right here in our growing Ocala. The flavors rotate constantly, keeping every visit exciting and perfectly matched to whatever mood you're in. Each batch is rich, smooth, balanced, and made with a passion you can taste. We've never left with a single regret, only smiles and that satisfied "this hit the spot" feeling. And honestly, the gelato here deserves worldwide recognition. It's that exceptional. But what truly elevates La Dolce Vita is the owner himself - someone who cares deeply not just about his shop, but about the people who walk through his doors. His pride, kindness, and consistency have created a place that feels like home for so many of us. Ocala is lucky to have this treasure. Thank you to the AMAZING owner who has poured years of heart into serving this community. This is a must‑visit, a must‑return, and a place that continues to set the bar for what great gelato (and great hospitality) should be.

He said the woman behind the counter was a bit impatient with him as he was looking at all the pastries and actually shook her head in frustration. I took one bite of the cookie and couldn't eat it. Both it and the sfogliatelle had a musty taste, though my friend said the inside of the shop didn't smell musty. I wanted to be one of the ones to rave about this place. Sadly, I cannot.

This is our second family trip to Foody Bowl and it probably will not be the last one…read more Honestly, this is the best ramen in town. I tried several other places in Ocala/The Villages area and nothing competes with this cute little restaurant nearby publix. It's not a super fancy place but the food delivers, and that matters more than anything else. The bubble teas here are not half bad either. This time, we also tried the Takoyaki and it was on point, tender and juicy on the inside! The broth of the black garlic tonkotsu is well worth the price of this dish. It's hearty and flavorful. My only setback, as a person that cooks this dish at home as well as orders it whenever possible, is that the Chashu, this time around was a little on the drier side and the cut is also on the thinner side. However, getting a Chashu to that right tender texture is really not easy to do, and since it was very tender on the first time we went to eat here, I don't fault it that much. Other than that the ramen is absolutely to die for. The host/waitress was also very cute and kept checking on us to see if we are satisfied or need anything else.

We were going to need to stop by Lowe's anyway to pick up a hose clamp for securing the dryer vent hose (prior owners used zip ties for that purpose...really?) so we decided to try out Azul after our painters provided positive experiences after eating lunch there. It was a late lunch so the place wasn't packed. We were seated immediately...place seemed spacious and had a lively vibe with various tequila-themed neon signs. I ordered their carnitas plate and my wife chose the spinach quesadilla WITHOUT mushrooms off the lunch special menu. The tortilla chips were warm but the salsa, while decent, tasted sweet and lacked some punch. When our meals were served, it became apparent that my wife's quesadilla had plenty of mushrooms, even after the server repeated my wife's order of no mushrooms. I couldn't wait for our server to return with her meal so I proceeded to sample their carnitas. When I initially asked our server how their carnitas were, she said they're "pretty good"...and I would think the carnitas were just OK. My wife, once her meal was served after what felt like a long wait, liked her quesadilla. She thought the spinach flavor shined through. All in all, a decent meal with nice presentation that would suffice if we were hankering for Mexican food and didn't want to drive far. Lunch for 2 with tip came out to about $36.
