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

    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.

    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.
