My mom also had 2 scoops. I thought the prices were very reasonable and made for an inexpensive dessert. I highly recommend. The candy store is awesome. There is so much to look at. There was lots of candies that I haven't seen in along time. This shop has one of the longest fresh chocolate cases I've seen. There was so much fudge options and other goodies. We got several chocolates to enjoy later in our hotel. They were delicious. The staff here is the sweetest. We felt so welcomed and were greeted right away when we entered. They were patient while we decided on the flavors of chocolates we wanted. I really enjoyed my time here.

The milk shake had just the right amount of sweetness and thickness consistency. The shot of expresso mixed with ice cream was the perfect mix, and a great afternoon pick me up.

They came promptly with a full set up, was clean & professional. The custard ice cream was DELICIOUS & was a huge hit at the party!

People thought it was an amazing touch to the night. Would definitely have Whits serve at any event I plan!

The space is cute and rustic. The walk up window for the host was pretty great so the staff isn't outside in the Fl heat. I made it a four star review instead of five because our server disappeared during the meal and never returned. Another server did eventually come by to cash us out but no offer of drink refills. Otherwise, a really nice spot for a meal while in town.

There was a market going on that we enjoyed exploring on our way over to the restaurant. It's not very big on the inside but does have tables inside and out. The inside is open allowing you views into the kitchen area. I ordered the Allicin Burger which is a beef burger with french onion reduction, crispy onion straws, swiss cheese, and garlic aioli. The meat was very juicy and flavorful. I enjoyed all the onions. It made for a solid meal. The old bay potato chips were a good pairing for the burger. My mom ordered a more traditional burger and she liked it. I noticed the bakery item display and it had a good selection. I deducted 1 star for customer service. While the food was very good, the service did not feel warm. Our server felt very cold and was short with us. She never once cracked a smile and it almost felt like we might have been bothering her by just being there. I wish we had a friendly server because it would have made the experience much more enjoyable.

My sister and I stumbled upon this gem after dinner, and let me tell you, it was the sweetest discovery of the evening. We were feeling a bit adventurous and decided to try something new. Though the name escapes me now (perhaps it's because I was too busy savoring every bite), it was a dreamy concoction of dark chocolate, fudge, and chocolate hard shells. Oh my goodness, it was like diving headfirst into a pool of chocolatey bliss! Each spoonful was a symphony of rich flavors and creamy textures that left us smitten. The ambiance of Sweet Spot Ice Cream is just as delightful as their treats. It's like stepping into a cozy little corner of paradise, with cheerful decor and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. But what truly sets this place apart is the friendly staff. They're like the cherry on top of an already perfect sundae, always ready with a smile and a willingness to help you find your new favorite flavor. So, if you're ever in Deland and craving a sweet escape, do yourself a favor and swing by Sweet Spot Ice Cream. Trust me, this sure was a sweet spot for ice cream. Edited: Death by Chocolate is by far the best sweet death anyone can have. Yes, pun intended

The ambiance was inviting, stylish, and felt like the perfect setting for a weekend experience with friends. The food overall was good. The shrimp and grits were definitely the highlight for me full of flavor and well done. The steak, however, wasn't my favorite and didn't quite hit the mark. The fruit bowl was exactly that fruit in a bowl nothing special but fresh. The banana pudding was delicious and a sweet way to end the meal. The service was a bit inconsistent, which I believe was due to the waitress being very busy. There were a few moments where we waited longer than expected for menus, straws, or even water. While noticeable, it didn't completely take away from the experience and felt more like a staffing issue than a lack of care. Overall, I would absolutely return for brunch with friends. The atmosphere alone makes it worth another visit, and with the right company, it's a great spot to enjoy a relaxed and beautiful brunch experience.

For appetizers, we tried the coconut shrimp, Table tots, spinach dip, and charcuterie. Everything was fantastic except the shrimp, which were a bit overcooked. The rest of the starters were flavorful and well prepared. Most of our group ordered the NY strip since they were out of the filet, while others chose the meatloaf, mushroom pasta, and a few other dishes. Portions were generous and the food was tasty. While the strip wasn't the best I've had, it was cooked perfectly. Dessert was a bit hit or miss. We tried all the pies -- most were decent and nicely presented, though nothing stood out. The salted caramel cheesecake had a grainy texture rather than being smooth. Service was friendly, but a little rushed. Courses came out too quickly, making it hard to enjoy each one before the next arrived. The table became crowded with plates, and the pace felt chaotic at times. The server was kind and seemed possibly overwhelmed. Overall, a good meal with solid food, but pacing and a few execution details could use some attention.

I get the sense it's beloved by locals of a certain set as it was busy on a Saturday afternoon with tables full of folks enjoying conversation over lunch. We were tucked in the back room which made for a quieter experience. I had the pick two combo of roast beef arugula sandwich and chicken velvet soup. Both were decent - I think maybe upgrading the deli meat might help the sandwiches overall, wasn't a huge fan of the roast beef (some yucky pieces) but the sandwich itself had good ingredients of fresh arugula, shaved Parmesan, and horseradish sauce. The soup was my favorite part of the meal, but it's pretty much a cream of mushroom and chicken soup so not particularly groundbreaking. The Nutty Irish Lady was recommended to me, and was just ok. It had cherry notes apparently, but I tasted just mostly just Irish cream flavor. I'd definitely try it for breakfast, sample some other coffee menu items, and maybe get a salad for lunch instead. A cozy local spot seemingly enjoyed by many!

The cappuccino crunch also had bold flavors with a really great crunch added in. We don't live in the area, but we had dinner out there in Deland and saw this place driving by so we stopped in to give it a try so happy that we did because this could definitely easily become our new favorite ice cream place because the flavoring was so delicious They are busy they have a drive-through and they have a walk-in when we got there. There's a line of like six people. It didn't take long and when we were leaving, there is another line of roughly 10 people.
