I have been to many cold stones in my life but this has to be the best one!…read more I got the strawberry marshmallow ice cream and the toppings were graham cracker crust, Carmel, strawberry's, lastly Oreo! This was such a good combo and I loved it! Next the service was great the workers made my ice cream with care and made it super good! And lastly the ambiance of the ice cream place was amazing! It smelling so good like ice cream right when you walk in and it feels super nice! So I definitely recommend coming to cold stone creamery!!!

Cold stone is what it is. The ice cream is pretty good but kind of overpriced. The service is just…read moreokay, but not bad by any means. It is an okay choice when it is close by but I certainly would not go out of my way to get ice cream there. It is a decent sized serving which is nice for how pricy it can be. The shop itself isn't super big, but sitting outside on the patio is pretty nice when it's not too hot or muggy out.

Walked in on this cool evening, was met by a friendly girl behind the counter. We asked her which…read moreflavor out of the 2 we couldnt decide on. Caramel Fudge Eclair with Peanut Butter sauce.

So sweet. they let you sample as many flavors as ylu want, too, just to make sure you make the right decision!! I even have a tiers list of all my favorite flavors. Which include Butterscotch, Icing, chocolate buttercream, Irish cream, wedding cake, and grasshopper pie.

They make food from their homeland which is made using family recipes. But I was there to try their ice cream since it used to be an ice cream place. I also wanted to try their crepes. So the obvious choice is an ice cream crepe with banana, strawberry, and a ton of ice cream. It was cooked fresh in front of me (thankfully not one of those cook ahead and reheat places) The crepe was enjoyable but average and a little too crispy. The ice cream was disappointing, average ice cream regional supplier, definitely not home made. I may go back and give the crepes one more try, ice cream nope. Also curious about the rest of the menu.

Terrible ice cream. Some underpaid kids working there without supervision, no manager on site. What…read morea waste of my night going there. I actually gave them a second chance since I had already been there before but when it was just called La Maracucha and they didn't have half the things they offered. This time I thought perhaps it was a little better since they now had ice cream and crepes, too bad it was not the case. In fact, I didn't really get the order right but I waited sooo long that I didn't want to go back in to complain about it to continue to waste my time.

I pass by 13th street quite often and finally was able to go in. I usually am in a hurry but I…read moredecided to stop by on a Friday night . I had a sweet tooth and wanted ice cream. I settled on some boba tea instead and had oolong but unfortunately they were out of boba balls so I had it without. They added a replacement for the boba balls which was a little off and like a jelly texture . Almost like aloe Vera texture . I still loved their boba tea flavor which I got brown sugar. We also tried 2 mochi. The mochi had a great flavor but the texture was too hard for me. We had the strawberry and coconut mochi but they had other amazing flavors like habanero coffee, expresó , lychee , passion fruit etc. I appreciate that they had so many unique flavors you don't see often. I am not sure if the macaroons are fresh or who makes them but they also had a variety of interesting flavors . Would definitely come back to try other items and flavors that they offer.

We were at adjacent business Swamp Boil when I told my friend I wanted dessert…read more Turns out my friend recommends this place. Before I say yes to boba tea, though, I ask the waitress for their dessert menu and they sent me to BC Boba Tea & Ice Cream. Apparently Swamp Boil doesn't serve dessert. Anyway, this cute little tea shop also sells some snacks and ice cream. Given my friend wanting some boba tea, the desire was contagious and I wanted one, too. I also figured it made more sense for the road as I had many hours until I would reach South Florida. He ordered an oolong milk tea with boba while I ordered a strawberry green tea with boba. Both were refreshing, but I think I'm happy I stuck with the strawberry green tea. Milk and long car rides aren't good companions and that's with me not being lactose intolerant. Anyhow, the service was fine, a bit cold perhaps, but it is what it is. They have a lovely mural on site and I'm generally curious if this and Swamp Boil are owned by the same person. At any rate, I would go back if in the area.

Happened to come across this place while I was doing the 6th Street Rail Trail to Alachua Lake…read moreOverlook with my wife! We had passed this place on the way to the lake and it seemed interesting, so I kept it on my short list of places to check out for lunch on the way back. It turns out it was the perfect fit after what ultimately proved to be a 14-mile trek! The place is located just off the main road and has a quaint feel to it with two dining rooms and a counter. Much like my other recent review, SweetBerries serves your standard lunch fare and also specializes in custard. As such, it served as perfect-pick-me-up on a day where the heat index was at 105F! You order what you'd like at the counter and a server will bring your food when it's ready. The establishment has fountains available for drinks. Staff was friendly and helpful throughout the experience. We got the SweetBerries Sunset custard with fresh fruit to share between the two of us, and wound up being the perfect frozen treat to get us back to the truck. Unlike her, I was also looking for an actual meal, so i chose to order the Chicken Salad on a croissant with mac salad. While the mac salad was simply ok, but flavor of the buttery croissant elevated quality the light and refreshing meal. If you find yourself in Gainesville with time for lunch or sweet treat, give this place a shot!

I tried the Hot Chick sandwich at SweetBerries and I'm still thinking about it. Their signature…read morechicken salad on toasted sourdough already sounded good, but the way they executed it was on another level. The bread was grilled perfectly, buttery, golden, and exactly the kind of crisp I love. The flavors were unreal. The crispy bacon added that salty, smoky crunch that hits immediately, the muenster cheese brought this smooth, melty richness, and the sweet onion and carrots added the perfect fresh bite. But the real surprise was the honey mustard. I'm a honey mustard lover, but I was honestly skeptical about how much they'd use or whether it would overpower everything. Instead, it was beautifully balanced, but just the right amount of sweetness to bounce off the savory bacon, the creamy chicken salad, and the buttery toast. Every flavor complemented the next, and it all came together in a way that genuinely surprised me. It ended up being one of the most amazing sandwiches I've ever had. I was mesmerized from the first bite to the last. SweetBerries really nailed this one.

We almost drove away when we saw the long line that reached the parking lot but decided to stick it out and give it a try. Figured if the locals are willing to wait in line, it must be good! This is a pick up only window with tables outside for customers to enjoy their treats but there is no indoor seating. The walk up counter had two windows and both were staffed with friendly cashiers. The line moved quickly but with enough time for us to figure out the ordering system and to sort through the many options available from the menu board posted on the sidewalk. There are at least 5 sizes (that I can remember) to choose from and thankfully I was sharing a medium otherwise it would have been too much for one person and I only did two steps out of the 3. I chose to create my own and selected the coconut Italian ice with the Chocolate Gelati in a medium cup. The rest of the family ordered from the Frog Squad Favorites list, which are creations designed to remind you of other favorite sweet treats. One ordered a small Frosted Animal Cracker and one ordered a small S'More. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their selections. We had fun sitting outside and the entire time while we ate our Italian ice , there was always a line of customers. We quickly understood why this is such a hit amongst the Gainesville community!

This was our first time having rolled ice cream, and it unfortunately didn't meet our expectations. Rather than being rolled and packed nicely in a cup, our ice cream was loosely rolled and smooshed into a cup. Their new steamed buns on their menu were overcooked and dried out.

I didn't taste cookie dough. I didn't taste fudge brownie and there was no chocolate syrup. The ice cream tasted old. Like it was left open for weeks. 4 bites and I threw it out. My daughter had the wake me up and she didn't like it either. Funny taste and like the ice cream was old or left out. Trashed after 4 bites. And the place is expensive My daughter also bought some cute little cositas. But expensive too. She picked up a pack of pens and they wanted to charge us 2.99 per pen??? Almost 20$ for a pack.
