Today was grand opening of the Auburndale ice cream company, which I assume to be a branch of the…read moreLakeland ice cream company and Polk city ice cream company. They have a wide selection of ice creams, including some dairy free options which is why we went today because my wife has to avoid cow dairy for our infant. The ice cream was nothing special. My wife said her dairy free option was "just okay". Due to it being so close I'm sure we will visit again and give it another go. Wasn't very busy for a grand opening, but they had 6 people working. The chairs inside were old, dingy and dirty. I assume they're from brack shack, which is connected. For having 6 people working in a small shop you'd think they could stay on top of cleaning the tables. The only one available at the time had melted ice cream on it. The peanut butter cupcake was not good. Purely chocolate, minimally if any peanut butter taste. The topping practically fell off by the time I made it to the car to try it.

Stopped here on the way to Legoland. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and it was great for what it…read morewas (a microwaved croissant sandwich). We also got a strawberry cake donut, plain cake donut and blueberry cake donut. All three of them were fantastic. Probably the best donuts we've had in about 5 years, moist and flavorful! My son had a yeast donut (chocolate frosted with sprinkles) and my daughter had the donut holes again all of them were spectacular. The true of the star was the man behind the counter. He was so kind and caring. My son ate one of my daughter's donut holes and she was crying, he came from behind the counter and gave her a new one. 10/10 service. I wish I lived closer.

First time buying donuts at this establishment, in my never ending quest to find the perfect donuts…read moreshop within driving distance. 30 minutes is not necessarily close, but with traffic and all the traffic lights in this area it is par the course. So far Donut Palace has earned the local area 5 star rating for donuts. Albeit they don't have a plethora of donuts to choose from, there was enough variety to satisfy any lover of donuts. The posted hours are until noon (12pm for those who are unfamiliar with the word - lol jk I think) and I arrived a little after 11am. The donuts I purchased were all still very fresh (2 thumbs up). We really liked the donuts, which included lemon and raspberry filled powdered, apple fritter, cinnamon roll, and a couple of glazed. The powdered, which were for me, were NOT overly sweet and the dough was fresh and soft, almost melting in my mouth. The wife enjoyed her apple fritter, which was on the small size, and cinnamon roll. The glazed were not overpowering sweet, like a Krispy Kreme (no thanks). There really are not many donuts shops in the area, besides numerous Dunkins which I was never fond of, so if I find one that bests this place I will review it and downgrade this one a star, but for the moment it's 5 stars and we will return. BTW, the lady running the place was very nice.

My husband and I had never eaten at Culver's before and had seen mixed reviews nothing bad, just…read morenothing particularly memorable. After visiting the Culver's in Avon Park today, we were genuinely impressed. The food was delicious, but what truly stood out was the exceptional drive‑through service. When we placed our order, the employee asked for my husband's name and used it three times "Hello, Patrick," "Anything else today, Patrick?" and "See you at the window, Patrick." We have never experienced such personal service at a drive‑through. We're from Washington State, and this level of friendliness was such a pleasant surprise. After eating, we went back through the drive‑through for custard, curious whether the service would be just as good and it absolutely was. Once at the window, I checked the employee's name so he could get the recognition he deserves: Juelz. Truly the BEST drive‑through service we have ever experienced anywhere in the country. Juelz, your personality and the way you treat people will take you farther than you know.

--Let's discuss losing my virginity! --…read more I've always wanted to open a review like that. I've visited all 50 states including AK and HI, most, many times. I've consumed tons of fast food or fast casual food. Somehow, I've never visited Culver's. Yup, I'm a Culver's virgin so off I went for lunch on their Grand Opening day. Arriving- These fine folks are just off US Route 27 South, so they are easy peasy to find. They have a drive-thru, very nice curb-side delivery and a decent parking lot for dining in. Handicap parking is great. The App- I planned on curb-side delivery but like most virgins, I was a little nervous! I didn't want them to know it was my first time! The app was just fine and allowed me to figure out my choices. I entered the color, make, and model of my car and told the app to make it happen. Ambience- I can't speak to the inside, but the ambience of the parking lot is just great! The signage and lane markings are spot on. Customer Service- I waited in my car for about 4 minutes and a very nice young lady delivered my food. Four minutes is nothing, so I was quite pleased. Food- I went with the Double Deluxe ButterBurger, and a medium Onion Rings at about $13. I brought it home and plated it and you can see my picture. So far, my virginal experience was just great! So, I had my first Culver's orgasm with the ButterBurger! Great bun and build. Juicy tasty meat and fresh toppings. An overall great burger. My neighbors were complaining about my moans of ecstasy! The onion rings were a little bit of a miss. You can see from my pic that some were overcooked. The manager should know better than to let those go out. They get a bit of a pass as it's their Grand Opening. The rings that were cooked properly were amazing! Conclusion- A solid experience especially for a Grand opening! I'm going 4 stars for now, but I expect they'll do better once they work out the kinks. It'll be tougher to please me now that I'm no longer a virgin!

Came here after just walking by after going to the weekend market. Recall a friend talking highly…read moreof it so me and my wife decided to try it out. We both got one of the seasonal caramel drinks (old man Marley?). I got the hot and she got the cold. The hot was decent, no real complaint but I'd go elsewhere honestly. My wife got the cold version and something about it was off, especially towards the bottom it had like a bologna or something taste. She told me to taste it without telling me what she thought but we both came to the same conclusion. No clue what it could've been but it was awful. Personally I'd go to a big brand store over this one again. Inside was pretty tight too, especially for those in a wheelchair or have a stroller.

Probably my favorite thing about this place is that they really committed to a theme. Seeing as it…read moreis the holidays, there was a very clear home alone theme from the drink names to the decorations inside which I really appreciated. The service was mid, as the barista seemed bored and not overly friendly. We tried to ask a question about the surrounding area and our barista acted like she didn't understand what we were asking, whatever. The coffee was good, although the roast was much brighter than my preference. The double chocolate chip muffin was delicious and not overly sweet overall, I would definitely come back and try it again! There is limited seating inside but also seating available outside street parking is limited so if you don't like dealing with that, this may not be the place for you.

That's especially true if you're dragging along a couple of screaming munchkins that need to stretch their legs and have some ice-cream! Backstory- Back in the day, that would be 1935, Steve Maxwell was a big-time citrus grower. He had over 100 acres and opened this quaint little store to showcase his fruit and the packing house behind it to process it. Today, Steve is getting on in years and has leased this quaint country store to some fine folks from Frostproof. Atmosphere- An old-fashioned front porch with rocking chairs for enjoying the Florida weather. An immaculate old-style interior will all manner of citrus based food and paraphernalia. One of the highlights is orange ice-cream! Grab some, sit in the rockers and let the stress fall away. The little ankle-biters will love it! In season, this is the place to ship Florida citrus to friends and relatives. Just this last December they shipped over 600 boxes! If you are in the area, grab a meal in tiny Avon Park. Fire up your GPS and have desert here. I think you'll smile!

We all love their ice creams, and each of us has our favorite flavors. Mine is jamocha almond fudge! I also love their coffees: the fresh brewed and the packaged, my favorite being Midnight. During our visits (usually midafternoon) they have a dark brew and a medium brew, and it is always served hot & never disappoints. The donut display is truly lovely and artistic, and their donuts are fresh and delicious. They also have milkshakes, fun and attractively decorated ice cream birthday cakes, and packaged ice cream for purchase. For any men out there looking for an industrious beautiful girlfriend, there were four working the afternoon shift today. Very sweet to my youthful elderly mom and me. Going inside is a great way too cool off and treat yourself to a delightful afternoon with a variety of yummy choices and nice staff.
