    Still the best ice cream in Lakeland. Went here for dessert for our anniversary dinner.

    Blueberry and cinnamon milk shake

    Adorable ice cream shop with clearly defined Vegan and Gluten Free products! They have a small parking lot behind back and plenty of indoor / outdoor seating. My daughter really enjoys the milk shakes while my son loves the vegan scoops!

    Lakeland's newest ice cream spot does not disappoint! I have been to a Bright Ice location in Tampa so I was excited when I heard they were coming to Lakeland. This is located at the very edge of Dixieland across the street from Cob & Pen, and now next door to By the Chef pizza and a wine garden. So it's a pretty great spot with a lot of stuff to walk to nearby. I love the theme here too- Bright Ice is BRIGHT and vibrant; and it feels more like an old school ice cream shop with the big sphere lights and burnt orange & yellow primary colors, and wood furnishing. Their ice creams are wonderful, I think they're handmade in house? Or at least that's how they taste, there's no way it's manufactured scream because it's too good. And they have atypical flavors which I always appreciate because it's fun to try unique ice creams and not just have the same flavors you see at every shop. But along with ice cream, they do serve coffee here as well. Better yet, you can add a shot of espresso to your shake or get an affogato and have the best of both worlds. I will be back to try one or both for sure. Parking is behind the building but could get difficult as it's shared with the pizza place & wine garden and isn't real big to begin with. They have limited seating and there is some outdoor seating, but with the wine garden next door now too I think it'll be a good place to sit out and enjoy. Definitely a great addition to the area.

    Oat of this World + Roasted Strawberries with Brown Sugar and Balsamic

    We stopped in after dinner next door and we're so glad we did! The employees were extremely friendly and allowed us to sample a few items. Ended up choosing Oat of this World and Roasted Strawberries with Brown Sugar and Balsamic. This was some of the creamiest, most flavorful ice cream! If you've had Chill Bros in Tampa, I'd put Bright Ice on par with them. The flavor selection and portion size were top notch especially for the value. There's some cozy seating inside and a nice patio out front, too, which we enjoyed. Highly recommend!

    Ice cream is fresh, creamy, tasty and smooth. All made in house and they even have non-dairy options! Staff was friendly, attentive and quick. Great decor w/ inside and outdoor seating options

    I had a great first experience, once inside, with their dedicated & well-versed employees. I enjoyed my affogato with coffee ice cream and the flowers on their beautiful front patio overlooking S Fl Av. I'll look forward to getting back to try the coffee drinks and shakes. Love that they make their own ice cream (in the Tampa store). Unfortunately parking will be the "beef" for the location. The parking lot is not "well made" and my van def bottomed out on the way in and out of the space. That being said, until I discover or luck into better parking for my vehicle I'm not likely to return.

    Peach Crisp
    Michelle B.

    Stumbled across this ice cream shop heading to the dry cleaners. We stopped in and immediately noticed the flavors were unique and different. I got the peach crisp. It tasted just like peach cobbler! My husband got a scoop of blueberry and cinnamon and a scoop of espresso with kahlua. Those were amazing as well. Cant wait to come back and try more flavors

    I went with the Kahlua Espresso and the Oat Around the World, and both completely exceeded expectations.

    Black & Brew in downtown Lakeland is exactly what a neighborhood café should be--welcoming,…read moreenergetic, and full of flavor. The standout for me was the Holiday Ham breakfast sandwich, and it absolutely lived up to its name. Built on a flaky buttermilk biscuit, it layers a light, fluffy egg soufflé with thinly sliced ham, praline bacon that adds just the right touch of sweetness, and a cranberry orange jam that ties everything together with a bright, unexpected pop. Every bite tasted thoughtful and seasonal without being overcomplicated--comfort food elevated. I paired it with Jennie's Dolce seasonal espresso drink, and it was so good I immediately wanted another. Even more impressive? The second one tasted just as perfect as the first--a small detail that says a lot about their consistency and care behind the bar. The coffee shop ambience immediately stands out, with a relaxed yet polished vibe that makes it just as ideal for a casual morning as it is for catching up on work or meeting friends. Service was warm and efficient, and you can tell this place has become a staple in the downtown community. If you appreciate creative twists on classic breakfast favorites and expertly crafted coffee drinks, Black & Brew is well worth the stop. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

We had the Chopped Italian Sub and a their delicious Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Pecan Oat Cookie for our picnic lunch. They have an efficient system in meeting the expectations of their many customers. You can pre-order on line or choose to stand in line to order. The waiting time was not long. The food was fresh and warm. The ambiance is very homey, with old rustic, country flair that is warm and inviting. We will make this one of our top breakfast spots when we are in this area.

    Yumminess overload!…read more Tips to know: order online for pickup so you get exactly what you want or get there early before they sell out! The place was crowded when we got there around lunchtime. There is comfy seating which I was not sure of initially so that's a plus! They have an array of pastries as well as several types of sandwiches. Everything is at the checkout counter to view before ordering. The staff is friendly and helpful. We ordered a gluten free chocolate chip cookie and a strawberry glazed chocolate filled cruffin.. part muffin part croissant.. so delightful!! I'm craving another just writing this! The cookie was super yummy as well with chunks of chocolate! We will definitely be returning to this location!
