So there's bucket ice cream and then there's homemade from scratch Sweet Spot ice cream, which is the top of the line, haute couture of DeLand, ice cream! Do remember the scene in Disney's Ratatouille where Remi combines flavors and it's an explosion of fireworks????!?!?! Well call me Remi cause that's what it was like when I had Sweet Spot ice cream!!! Why go anywhere else? read more

The cookie butter toffee ice cream is LIFE, and the staff was so kind to let us sample umpteen different flavors before settling on our favorite!! read more

This place has the BEST ice cream, hands down! Everything is completely homemade and you can definitely tell by how amazing it all tastes! My favorite ice cream flavor is cookie butter toffee. However, I haven't had a chance to try their new gelato. Their sundaes are decadent and if you're blessed enough to go when the peach cobbler sundae or apple pie sundae are being offered, do yourself a favor and try them as they're seasonal and SO delicious. I love their $2 soft serve cone and $5 milkshake deals. The cherry on top with this place is the first class service. I would be remiss if I forgot to mentioned their specialty bakery items (cookies, cake pops, brownies, and more) offered on the weekends. If you've got a sweet tooth, the Sweet Spot Deland will surely satisfy! read more

Love this place. Amazing staff and the most amazing homemade ice cream I've ever had. 100% recommend!

Great flavors on their ice cream. Definitely home made. Fast and friendly service. Prices are average for the portion sizes.

So happy we sporadically stopped in to this ice cream shop. Mom and pops really are the best. The owner makes just about everything homemade daily!!!! So impressive; especially with the amount of selections and diversity for your taste buds. With my indecisiveness the young lady at the counter was extremely patient with me and allowed us to get samples. Very affordable treat for the family as well. Can't wait to go back and see what seasonal options they have! read more

I am rating solely off the Keto items that they offered recently. I have been doing Keto since Jan and there was nothing special about their selections. Additionally, they are incredibly over priced. I got a slice of the cinnamon something or other and it was $5... it's literally 5 bites. In all honesty, I could have made the whole pie for about $5. Yes, it was good, but the price and amount ruined it for me. read more

Very great ice cream! We are from Los Angeles and we are very satisfied with the varieties and quality here. The girls work there are also very nice. read more

Pros: Location is in the heart of historic Deland, minutes from Stetson University. Taste is soft and creamy, exactly what you expect out of homemade ice cream. Service was quick and patient while you tatse test any ice cream you might be interested in. Cons: Price was a little high, almost $6 for 3 scoops and they weren't generous and that is with no toppings. Spent over $10 for just my dad and I. Options, I wish there were a few more then what they had.. Inside did not feel like an ice cream shop. It was really outdated and just dark inside. The counter inside should be their shining star and yet it looked abandoned with tattered leather chairs. Sad that it takes away from the ice cream shop experience. read more

We live a quarter mile from Sweet Spot and it takes all of the self control I have not to go every single night. We still go about 2 times a week though. They have the best flavors, and let you sample whatever. Even if you've been 10 times. The staff is so friendly and know my order and my name. Peanut butter Oreo is my go-to if anyone needs suggestions! But they are all amazing read more

Took every one for Ice Cream after dinner at Mac's on Main. It was difficult to find but my daughter knew were it was. Parking on the side but fills up at times. The shop is small but clean. Staff was great and handeled the group of 8 I brought in well. Everyone had something different and everyone loved it. They do have "Kiddie" size if you only want a tast or two. read more

Excellent ice cream and toppings. Good portions. Service is great. Best place in North DeLand. Would be nice if they had outdoor seating.

Best ice cream ever!! As Guy says, " Shut the front door!" Everything is homemade...including the whip cream. My favorite is White Christmas... coffee with coconut and dark chocolate chunks. read more

I screwed up my last review. I reviewed a nearby candy shop with a similar name. This is simply the best ice cream store in Florida. All offerings are produced in the store by Jimmy and his family/crew. Unusual flavors and extremely high quality. It is a hometown shop and service can take a bit when they are busy, but everyone is friendly and charming. You can also get custom flavors made for special occasions. Around the corner and down the street at Pat & Toni's Sweet Things candy shop you can get Jimmy's ice cream. read more

Homemade ice cream that is wonderful!! What to do on a cold winter day in Deland - go eat some ice cream! Service was quick and staff was friendly. Amazing flavors! read more

There are many reasons I can give to explain 5 stars but I'll focus on the top three which I count most important. Before I do I have to say the best compliment I can give is bringing friends and family to a place over and over. I have done this numerous times with this ice cream shop. On to the three top reasons for 5 stars 1) The service has always been above excellent. Even when the place is packed, the staff is excited and happy to share samples before you make your final selection. 2) The variety of flavors is amazing. They not only serve the "must have" basics of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla, but concoct some amazing flavors like "Maple Bacon" and "Crispy Cream Glazed Doughnut" ice cream. Amazing! 3) The community spirit the owners have is above and beyond the call of duty. They give of themselves to other businesses, non profits and especially the churches in the community. I only wish my metabolism was what it used to be and I didn't gain weight so easily, I'd be here all the time. read more

Homemade Maple Bacon ice cream!! I love this place & will be back All their homemade ice cream looked fantastic & the waffle cone was delicious enough to accompany it. 4 months later, I'm taking away one star. The ice cream is delicious but for the last 2 times I've gone, the note on the door says it will open at a certain time...but they didn't! I've had to go to the ice cream shop across the street. read more

First visit and it wont be my last! Very good ice cream, very creamy and rich with flavor. Nice inside, plenty of seating. Nice young lady ready to serve you with a big smile! read more

Underwhelming. About 1/3 of the ice cream containers were scrape the bottom corners empty. Staff had blunted moods. When we left after eating there was no one at the counter. There is nothing appealing about the interior. I definitely liked the previous location better. This place looks like a basement in NJ. read more

mazing! Delish! Can't get enough of it! We were here visiting and found it and sure glad we did! We had it several times in one week :-) It is so creamy, the flavors are outstanding, and the kids who work here are all so pleasant. This is worth the visit! read more

This is the place you want to go for the best ice cream around! All ice cream is made on site by the owner and they even entertain and select customers suggestions for new flavors/combinations! It's almost a sin to add toppings (the hot fudge is also made on site, and I mean FUDGE!) because the ice cream alone is ridiculously wonderful. You owe it to yourself to stop in for a treat. And if you are lucky enough a local baker offers her sweet bakery confections on weekends. Can't be beat! read more

This place is amazing and never disappoints. The staff is super friendly and always has great recommendations. I highly recommend the milkshakes and pretty much any flavor they have. Maple bacon is one of my favorites. My entire family loves his place and we honestly don't come often enough. read more

Ice cream is always good. But Sweet Spot's homemade is just the best. They always have interesting flavors to try and great service. I miss them being downtown. But the new location is easy to get in and out of. read more

If you're in the area you must stop by this ice cream shop! I'm not usually one to suggest going out for ice cream, but I had a hankering for some homemade ice cream and this place hit the spot. The girl working behind the counter tonight was so helpful after we told her it was our first visit and gave us so much information on how they make their ice cream. She even offered suggestions and let us sample! Her friendly demeanor is enough to make us want to come back! My husband got the maple bacon which he let me try. It was sweet and creamy without being too overwhelming, but the true star was the bacon which was thick cut and caramelized. I got the coffee and coffee caramel brownie which was to die for! This is definitely not ice cream you pick up in the local Publix. It's rich and creamy like nothing else I've tried! We will be back! read more

Great local homemade ice cream option. Unique flavors for different seasons plus standard favorites. New location is outside of the downtown area but worth the drive. Must taste for ice cream lovers! read more

The fact that the owners of this place are displaced northerners (NY and NJ to be exact) just adds to how cool it is. Up front is really unassuming and you might just walk past it if you weren't looking for it. But the fact is that good homemade ice cream is hard to come by and this place has it. I'd say they also have northern charm, but they were really nice people so I can't. We even bonded over some northern NJ and NYC talk. Between my girlfriend and I, we tried about 6 different flavors and even the ones we didn't like we liked. If you're on one of the many restaurants on main street, you need to eat a desert here. It is worth the stop in. read more

My family is still sad they decided to move out of Downtown DeLand.... but they are still the best ice cream around! Worth the drive a little farther North. read more

This is hands down the best ice cream out there! Everything is homemade from scratch. The employees are always super helpful and friendly and answer all your questions. The flavors are forever changing and you will always have a new favorite. This place always wins awards for the Best Of contest and its easy to see why. Ask for a sample, you cant go wrong! read more

Always yummy and always friendly! We've been coming here for years and love this family friendly place! Our favorite flavor is the dark chocolate Oreo and cookies and cream! Their root beer floats are also pretty amazing. read more
