I spent the morning in Eustis, visiting some local coffee shops, wandering around and enjoying a…read morepleasant time. Eustis began taking shape in the 1870s, when post‑Civil War settlers moved into the Florida frontier and homesteaded along the eastern shore of Lake Eustis. The community first went by names like Highlands and Pendryville before adopting the name Eustis in honor of Colonel Abraham Eustis, who had served in the region during the Seminole Wars. Early life revolved around steamboat travel on the interconnected Harris Chain lakes, but the arrival of the St. Johns and Lake Eustis Railway in 1880 pushed the settlement toward true cityhood with stores, churches, hotels, and a growing citrus industry. Today, the city is known for winter tourism and I get that. It was nice and warm but a foggy morning in early December, making it easy to explore. There are a variety of restaurants in town, including classic Florida on the lake like Crazy Gator or more ethnic options like Taste of Lebanon. A few coffee shops (One Thirteen was great for setting up my laptop) and several retail shops. It's just far enough from the Orlando and Daytona metros to be independent and close enough that you could hop to MCO or DAB for a flight. I like it.

There was approximately 2" of ice cream above the lip of the cone. I would say that was a "baby" size. It tasted good but I would have hoped that you received more product. The twist was a "regular" and it was almost volcanic compared to the creamsicle, about 5" tall and cost $4.50. Unfortunately the twist was not creamy and tasted like frozen ice. Sad.

They were so easy to work with, communicated clearly, and were completely professional from start to finish. They went above and beyond and made my dad's 70th birthday party a total hit.

I had 3 guests from out of town so I took them to a murder mystery dinner held at an Italian…read morerestaurant in Mount Dora. We were handed programs and seated. My friends read the first paragraph of the program which included a political slur intended to appeal to pro-Trumpers. They asked if we could leave and find another restaurant for the evening. I told them I had already paid for non-refundable tickets. The tickets came to a little over $50 each. We stayed. The program had a typo and the inside was printed upside down. We lowered our expectations for the evening. The room was very noisy and crowded with lots of stark white flat surfaces so it was hard to hear the actors and nearly impossible for dinner conversation. The plot of the murder mystery experience was a little chaotic but some of the actors were good in their roles. The guests with the greatest quantity of empty wine bottles on their tables seemed to have the best time. Also the frequent Biden-bashing got big laughs from same. We did initially ask about the anti Biden "joke" in the program. They told us that they would also tell anti trump jokes. This was not the case. It was a loud, offensive evening and I was happy when it was over. 3 stars because the food portions were large.

I didn't get a chance to pick blueberries, but I'll definitely be back the next time they are in season. I did get a fresh blueberry doughnut and it was delicious!
