My daughter and son-in-law were in town for a few days and we decided we wanted some good ol' fashioned ice cream. I did a little Yelp research and we decided to give Tavares Ice Cream a try. They are located in downtown Tavares right on Main Street. The shop itself is very small and quaint. It really gave you the feel of an old fashioned ice cream parlor. My mom, daughter and I had the strawberry cheesecake ice cream and it was so yummy. My son-in-law had the chocolate peanut butter ice cream with caramel. He couldn't say enough good things about it. We found their prices to be very reasonable. The young lady who worked there was so pleasant. I highly recommend you visit them the next time you are craving some hand dipped ice cream. read more

This is a cute ice cream shop! They serve Hershey's ice cream and have quite a few flavors to try. There is a entrance from the street and also from the back facing the lake. There is one table to sit at inside and few tables outside in back facing the lake. It is a great spot to grab a treat and cool off. The staff are always friendly and who doesn't love ice cream?!! They can do shakes, sundaes, coffee, cup and cones. A come with one scoop (which is a nice big scoop) is $3.50. You should try them out! read more

Locally owned and in operation approx four years, this small downtown Tavares ice-cream shoppe is BIG on flavor-- 28 flavors to satisfy everyone who walks thru its doors! The ice-cream is not made here; it's Hershey's brand ice-cream. Had the ice-cream been made on site, I would have awarded five stars. Open 7 days a week from Noon till 9 PM, prices are reasonable (especially considering what shoppes such as Coldstone charge). My Raspberry Coconut SHAKE (2 flavors mixed) was $5.60. It was very good. Unfortunately, only one size was offered; I would have preferred not tossing half of mine. Contrary to a previous review, two sizes of Sundaes are on the menu. With 28 available flavors in three floor freezers, also offered are: malts (1 size); Rootbeer floats; cones (2 sizes); cups (3 sizes); edible cookie dough; Italian Ice; banana splits; ice-cream sandwiches; & cupcakes. There's also a floor fridge that contains bottle sodas; water; juices; & Gatorade. There is a wall chalkboard that lists the DAILY SPECIALS-- $1 off shakes (Mon); Buy two Scoops, get one free (Tues); .50 cents for unlimited toppings (Wed); 15% off for Teachers (Thurs); & $1 off Rootbeer Floats. (No weekend specials.) The shoppe is small. It contains one wooden corner booth that holds four to six individuals. And there is a small, round, red metal table out front that holds two. (Should you sit outside, you will be seated in front of parked vehicles.) Service was very good. It became busy quickly (w/ many entering through the back door). The beautiful gold-colored antique register is for decoration. Check-out is electronic & it was fast. Birthday parties are now offered. They are not held here. They are held on a deck overlooking Lake Dora. The rental fee is $40; it will reserve a 3-hr time slot. Each young guest may create his/her own Sundae for $2.25. Outside food is welcome. Check out the business' FB page OR phone for more info. Definitely good ice-cream, service, & prices that's complemented by a large selection of flavors. I don't know if or when I'll return to this area, but I do know I won't hesitate to stop in again to try another flavor. read more

Tavares Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tavares, Florida

We were told that "parties" of 5 or more have an additional 18% charge. My brother & his wife have 10 children, and 7 of them are under 10 years old. We absolutely understand the credit card fees, and yes she would have been tipped very well. However, adding the 18% is a bit much when you are ordering and leaving and not sitting down to be served drinks & food etc. Not to mention the poor attitude of the girl working the counter. Hopefully someone takes large families into consideration. read more

They were basically out of every flavor, no chocolate, vanilla or strawberry. How do you run out of the most basic flavors? The place looked like it hadn't been cleaned and napkins weren't stocked. read more

Stopped in today for some ice cream with my sister. There was a good amount of people in line and the lady running the shop was super sweet and kept apologizing about the wait while she was moving as fast as she could to get everyone their ice cream. Ended up getting the edible cookie dough and ice cream. So yummy! Love the friendly service, cookie dough, and ice cream, will be back. read more

Super clean, friendly, very reasonable but most of all delicious! Came in with a party of 14 during the evening one week and although we overwhelmed the poor worker, she was amazing. Other customers showed up behind us and she handled it like a pro. Never once felt like we were pushed out or made to hurry. Definitely stop by and support this local sweet spot! read more

The staff was pleasant and competent. The ice cream, however, was a lot less than expected. The Rum Raisons did have raisons, but had little flavor. My Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough did have chocolate chip, (no dough)but again, it tasted more like lightly flavored vanilla. I was expecting Ben & Jerry's of Jeni's product and got what I left was low end store brand iced milk. read more
