I've always had good experiences with this Coldstone- the workers are always friendly and do a good…read morejob. Unfortunately that's just not the case at some locations. When it comes to ice cream, Coldstone is one of my favorites to go out somewhere and enjoy. I love the way they mix in the ingredients by hand, it just always tastes so yummy. The only bad thing here is that since this is part of the outdoor mall Lakeside Village, and right next to the movie theater, it gets quite busy. So the line moved pretty slow when it's busy. But nonetheless I still love Coldstone.

Service was amazing and the ice cream to match. It was rich and creamy without being too sweet. The…read morewaffle cone was ok. But disappointed with that. It wasn't particularly fresh (or maybe the storage somehow wasn't sealed all the way) and it was blended with cinnamon. Now, I like cinnamon but that's not going to match every flavor. And some people may dislike cinnamon. I had no idea it had cinnamon until the end. The ratio was much stronger of ice cream to cone by the end and honestly all I tasted was cinnamon. Location is ok, but you may not realize there's parking in the back if you've never been there. It is at a light so crossing and turning into the place is easy. Atmosphere and ice cream itself were stupendous. I recommend getting the cone with vanilla or just getting the scoops. Unless you love cinnamon and there you go. Their competitor downtown is better in some ways, BUT Bright Ice has better flavors and more traditional type of flavors. This is an important distinction which makes it stand out on its own. Honestly, I will return for a pint of that Espresso with Kahula. Great addition to the Lakeland scene and I would definitely recommend this.

The ice cream was good, but nothing especially memorable for me. The real highlight is the location, there's a large seating area inside a trendy food hall making it a great place to hang out with friends or family while you enjoy your dessert. Overall, I'd give it about 3.5 stars. Worth trying if you're in the area, especially if you're interested in unique flavors, but it didn't quite stand out enough for me to seek it out again.

It seems to be the people's choice in the Lakeland area. Look no further than the line, sometimes trailing to the parking lot on summer evenings. Bruster's seems to be as popular with the Little League crowd as no homework on Fridays. The flavors may veer a bit to the saccharine, at least for the adult palate. And some flavors in particular taste more chemical/artificial than natural and homemade (looking at you Raspberry Chocolate). But if you stick with the basics (chocolate, cookies and cream, etc) Bruster's will satisfy at any age.

They have a wide variety of candies, unique items you won't find elsewhere. Some of the stuff is too unique and I suppose people don't want to try it so we have found from time to time to purchase an expired candy and find out later. It's a pretty neat place, they could use some friendlier workers and to unload their stock. Getting around the store with a stroller when the floor has boxes everywhere needing unloaded was annoying today.

There is a mind-blowingly large selection of not only root beers and cokes, but literally any kind of soda you can imagine. And I really do mean ANY kind- they even have crazy flavors like grass soda, corn soda, and bacon soda! There is so much to look at, you can walk around the stores several times and find something new with each lap. So many funny candies I never knew existed. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because they are definitely on the pricier side. Some of the popular candies there are a few dollars more than if you got them at a nearby grocery or convenience store. But, I do understand they have a lot of candies and drinks you cannot find at a normal grocery store, so they are probably allowed to charge a little more for some of those things. Either way I'm going to keep coming back and trying more of their fun sodas! (But probably not the grass or corn ones anytime soon) P.S if you are looking for the best root beer/ soda ever, I HIGHLY recommend the butterscotch root beer from the "Dang! that's Good" brand, pictured below. Prepare to have your taste buds dazzled.
