Service was amazing and the ice cream to match. It was rich and creamy without being too sweet. The…read morewaffle cone was ok. But disappointed with that. It wasn't particularly fresh (or maybe the storage somehow wasn't sealed all the way) and it was blended with cinnamon. Now, I like cinnamon but that's not going to match every flavor. And some people may dislike cinnamon. I had no idea it had cinnamon until the end. The ratio was much stronger of ice cream to cone by the end and honestly all I tasted was cinnamon. Location is ok, but you may not realize there's parking in the back if you've never been there. It is at a light so crossing and turning into the place is easy. Atmosphere and ice cream itself were stupendous. I recommend getting the cone with vanilla or just getting the scoops. Unless you love cinnamon and there you go. Their competitor downtown is better in some ways, BUT Bright Ice has better flavors and more traditional type of flavors. This is an important distinction which makes it stand out on its own. Honestly, I will return for a pint of that Espresso with Kahula. Great addition to the Lakeland scene and I would definitely recommend this.

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 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.
