Death by Peanut Butter is worth the drive every single time. It is rich, balanced, and not overly sweet, with a deep peanut butter flavor that actually tastes real. I have tried a lot of ice cream, and this one is the kind you think about afterward and plan a return trip for. read more

I've been coming here for over 15 years since I was in elementary school. They used to be a much smaller walk up window and it's so wonderful to see the expansion. My most recent trip I got the holiday eggnog flavor in a soft serve. It was delish. They have 25 soft serve flavors! The prices are really good and there are a million flavor options. I also tasted the cookies and cream in the hard scoop and it was really creamy and nice chocolate flavor too. The location is right on 41/Tamiami, just 2 minutes down from downtown PG. Working cow ice cream is my childhood and I hope it stays a PG staple forever :) read more

It's a fun place to stop after eating dinner in Punta Gorda. The staff is super friendly and really sweet. There are many, many varieties of ice cream including several nondairy, no sugar and even vegan. They offer regular scoops as well as soft serve, shakes, sundaes and several toppings and mix-ins. Lots and lots of flavors! The only option I saw was outside tables but the atmosphere is very cute. Great for families with dogs! read more

I adore this place and if my hips would tolerate it, I would go every day! Delicious sugar free butter pecan which I offset with an additional scoop of the salted caramel in my waffle cone and all is right with the world! This Florida heat is so strong that you have to be a master to scarf that cone down before it melts but my husband and I have developed a very successful technique. The employees are lovely as always and we enjoy see the doggies with their pup cups. They don't open until 2pm so be aware! read more

Super cute little ice cream joint. My ice cream and the pups ice cream were great. I got a sugar cone with dulce de leche and raspberry brownie. The raspberry brownie was delicious. A vanilla ice cream swirled with fresh raspberry preserves and little moist brownie pieces! Obviously the puppy had no complaints. We also got a strawberry banana milkshake made with hard ice cream and a banana, it was just okay. Seemed a little loose for a milkshake but it did have real strawberry chunks and banana in it. read more

The ice cream was very good. Good variety and yummy combos. Reasonably priced. Staff however, was super rude. Big grumpy lady bus driver vibes. All we did was go up to the window and she barked at us to back up and read the sign. The "sign" that says "wait here" was a half legible piece of painters tape on the ground. Literally no other indication that you should not do the logical thing and go to the window to order your ice cream. Kind of ruined the experience. read more

GiGi's Ice Cream of Punta Gorda…read more Atmosphere & Service I stopped by to check out GiGi Ice Cream to try the lobster roll. An ice cream shop that serves lobster rolls sounded too interesting to pass up. Inside, the shop was clean, neat, and pleasantly cool. I ordered at the front counter and had my food in hand within just a few minutes. Menu Highlights * Hot dogs * Lobster Rolls * Ice cream options ranging from sorbet to gluten-free varieties * Specialty drinks, including milkshakes, smoothies, and ice cream floats What I Ordered I ordered the lobster roll, which came with my choice of chips, melted butter, lemon, and a pickle. Final Impression & Rating The meal arrived on a plastic plate with a fitted cover--a clever and convenient touch. The lobster roll was simply amazing, with so much lobster packed inside that pieces fell out with every bite. The toasted roll was excellent, and the melted butter and lemon made the lobster even better. Even the pickle was good. Finding a lobster roll this impressive at an ice cream shop still blows my mind. It is the best lobster roll I have had in the area. I'm already looking forward to returning.

I got dressed up and walked over there. My table was ready on time; it was in the lounge area of the restaurant. They offered me the table or said I could sit at the bar. I opted to sit at the bar. The bar was almost full but people were leaving. Apparently people eat early there. The bartender was swamped but smiled and got me a glass of water. Soon I had menus. I like that they have a regular menu as well as a specials menu, including the usual cocktails and some special cocktails. I ordered the conquest, which seemed like a twist on an old fashioned. They offered bread or focaccia bread, I declined. And heads up- bread service is not included. It's an up charge. Normally I don't care but I was having dessert, not bread. I had the halibut special. It was phenomenal. One of the guys from the kitchen dropped it off and asked if I needed anything'- I replied salt. I find that I need salt often at restaurants. They brought the salt out real fast! I had a bite and determined it didn't need any more salt- it was perfectly salted! Woohoo! Fantastic. I ate my whole dish and then I savored my cocktail. The bartender wasn't much for conversation , as she was very busy, alone, covering the entire bar and drinks for the whole restaurant. She did invite me to try dessert, and mentioned a coconut cream cake that was not on the menu. I agreed to it and it was heavenly. Seemed like cheesecake icing with fluffy layers of cake and subtle coconut flakes throughout. The chocolate ice cream was weird at first but then I realized it's like almond joy/ mounds - coconut and chocolate are often paired. The espresso crumble gave it a nice crunch and there was caramel all over the plate. Wow! I took the majority of the cake home. It was a large portion and indulgent. I paid my tab and finished my drink. I was not rushed. I would go back again. It's a bit pricey. The fish special was $58. The cocktail was $17 and the dessert was $16. So one person, who did not add on the bread service, was $91. It's expensive. I would emphasize you can probably get a seat at the bar if you can't get a reservation. Also- the entrance is hard to find. It's in the parking lot and not facing the main road. I got a little lost walking there. The signage is poor. I can't imagine going there the first time in the dark. So give yourself a couple extra minutes if it's your first time going there.

It included homemade hummus, Lebanese Chickpeas, 5 pieces of Falafel, a hard boiled egg and a round piece of pita bread. The hummus is so delicious and creamy. I opened the pita bread and filled it with everything. Just what was craving! Then we split a double chocolate muffin to have with my cappuccino and David's drip coffee. A perfect ending to a scrumptious lunch! We will return soon, I promise!!

I noticed a number of dads there with youngsters on the weekend. My friend and I played rummy cube and Scrabble while we enjoyed a tasty cup of coffee we were there late in the day so passed up the prospect of muffins. A little more variety in the edibles would have been appreciated eg chocolate chip cookies, brownies, fruit danish. There were a few independent sellers of cake pops coffees, etc. All in all an interesting place to spend an hour or two on a Sunday afternoon

The older staff members (may have been the owners) did not look very friendly and were not welcoming. They clearly endorse Donald Trump and have a display with merchandise sitting next to the registers. With that being said, we will not be returning. It's such a turn off to see such political affiliations when walking in to a store.

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!
