We have lived in Lakeland a long time (decades). We love ice cream, so we always check out the new…read moreice cream places. Of all the ice cream joints, and there are many in Lakeland, this is the ONLY one to frequent. Friendly staff, nice bar, inside and outside seating, though it is a small place. Then there is the ice cream...lots and lots of unusual and favorite flavors, dirty sodas, fabulous milkshakes made to order, daily specials, ice cream to go....fabulous! On this visit, hubby had a very chocolate milkshake , made to order, I had a fabulous scoop of Salted Turtle, full of nuts and chocolate nuggets, and caramel.....outstanding. Every visit we try something different and we're never disappointed. Boy, it's good stuff. The store is in a shopping plaza with an Aldi, chinese food, other businesses....dinner and dessert at one stop! Go, you'll love it.

The Lakeland Ice Cream Company's are the BEST ice cream shops in Lakeland! There's hardly…read morecompetition and if you have been to one then you understand. Having this location in South Lakeland closer to where I live is dangerous. The original is in way North Lakeland, and there's also one in Mulberry (called the Mulberry Ice Cream Company). But regardless which store you go to, it's a consistent and delectable product. They have a dozens of flavor options, from a full case of sorbets to kiddie options like superman to all the chocolate heaven you could want. They handmake the ice cream and you can tell when you have it, it's just different than other places. I usually end up trying something different every time I come since there are so many options- there truly hasn't been one I haven't like yet. And you can taste test if you're having a hard time deciding, which would be understandable. This location is cute- it's where the south Swan Brewing bar used to be so they kept the bar up and refashioned it to work as more of an old school ice cream parlor feel. Another fun part of these ice cream companies- they also have homemade waffle cones, like literally almost double digit flavors, and you can get the famous ice cream burrito or ice cream nachos. If you're a fan of malt flavors the malts they make are fabulous too.

It was clean and decorated nice. The girl working the counter around 7:30pm was very standoff-ish. She did not greet or smile the entire time we were In the store. She barely responded when I said "heyyyy how are you today!" I typically will leave a business if I'm not greeted properly but I was with my son and wanted to experience their ice cream. My son ordered a scoop and I ordered a milk shake for my dad. The total was almost $17. They are overpriced and the service needs major help. WILL NOT return. WOULD not recommend!

Everything we've had is delicious. It has definitely replaced the traditional dairy ice cream for me.

Not too many around that cater to the NON Diary community with such great tasting options!!! Everything we tried was enjoyed!!! 2 taste tests per person. All the Ice cream is coconut based and tastes like the normal cream ice cream counterparts. There Italian ices are made with real fruit and are so tasty. We had many flavors of both the Italian Ice and The cookies and cream ice cream. Whether you eat dairy or not MiMi's has something for you shakes and all!!! Try it for yourself!!!

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.
