I did a little Yelp research and we decided to give Tavares Ice Cream a try. They are located in downtown Tavares right on Main Street. The shop itself is very small and quaint. It really gave you the feel of an old fashioned ice cream parlor. My mom, daughter and I had the strawberry cheesecake ice cream and it was so yummy. My son-in-law had the chocolate peanut butter ice cream with caramel. He couldn't say enough good things about it. We found their prices to be very reasonable. The young lady who worked there was so pleasant. I highly recommend you visit them the next time you are craving some hand dipped ice cream.

This cart (I thought it was supposed to be a food truck, but I didn't pay enough attention to the…read moredetails in what I'd read about it) serves vegan ice cream and floats on Thurs. evenings (5 p.m.-9 p.m.) outside of Infusion Tea at the College Park Farmer's Market, and also may be found on Mon. evenings (6 p.m.-10 p.m.) at the Audubon Park Community Market outside of Stardust Coffee (1842 E. Winter Park Rd., Orlando, 32803). Since I have, to put it mildly, a "thing" for food trucks, I just had to check We All Scream out. When I arrived at the market this evening, I was looking for a food truck but didn't see one. I noticed the ice cream cart and, after a brief discussion with the owner, discovered that the operation doesn't involve a truck - just a cart. Nothing wrong with that, though! You don't need a truck to satisfy me when it comes to ice cream, vegan or otherwise. I ordered the raspberry-lemon float, which consists of a raspberry-flavored soda (it's the 365 brand, which is sold at Whole Foods) atop lemon sorbet. You get a decent-sized plastic cup (you can read more about those here: http://www.thedailycity.com/2011/06/we-all-scream-vegan-ice-cream-mobile.html) for $3. Since the weather was about to get nasty, I didn't get a chance to take any pictures, but I'm sure I'll be back here next Thurs. or on Mon. to try something else, and perhaps I'll take some pictures then. There were a few different sorbet flavors from which to choose tonight, as well as at least one other float (root beer, I believe) and an assortment of, of course, vegan ice creams. The owner is very friendly and had who I presume was his wife and daughter with him this evening. You may recognize him from the downtown area as I believe he's the same person as the one who operates the vegan hot dog cart(s) downtown. The article I linked to suggests that, as well. It also hints that the cart is relatively new, though the owner did tell me that he participated at a few food truck events already. Hopefully he makes it out to more as the cart would be a welcome addition to the lineup. All in all, this is good stuff and I'll definitely be back for more. Check the cart out at either of the aforementioned markets and enjoy. Here's a link to the Twitter page; I can't find anything about the cart on Facebook yet, though. https://twitter.com/#!/_WeAllScream_

Hidden in plain sight on the first floor of the most bonkers hotel ever built (the one with a train…read morerunning through its chest cavity), sits Contempo Grounds -- the kind of place that reminds you Disney understands that adults need caffeine more than kids need churros. History lesson: when the Contemporary opened in 1971, it was all about the future -- monorails, modular construction, Mary Blair murals. But the Imagineers missed one crucial fact: the future doesn't run on nuclear power, it runs on coffee. Contempo Grounds fixes that oversight. The setup is classic Disney grab-and-go, but the quality? Surprisingly solid. Coffee that doesn't taste like it was brewed in Tomorrowland circa 1975, specialty lattes that could hold their own in a hipster café, and pastries that look innocent until you realize you've inhaled three of them. Try the chocolate croissant -- it'll ruin your willpower faster than a BOGO churro cart. It's also one of those weird Disney paradoxes: you're standing in a futuristic mega-hotel, clutching your cappuccino, while the monorail literally glides overhead. It's a caffeine stop and an architectural pilgrimage. Where else can you order a latte with the ambiance of an airport terminal designed by Walt's fever dream? Sure, it's overpriced. But you're at Disney -- your wallet checked into hospice care the moment you hit the parking lot. At least here you're getting something essential: good coffee, quick service, and the ability to pretend you're functioning before a full day of Magic Kingdom chaos. Bourdain would've loved this place for what it is: honest, unpretentious fuel for the Disney machine. No smoke, no mirrors, just caffeine keeping parents alive one latte at a time. Bottom line: Contempo Grounds is the unsung hero of the Contemporary. Without it, the happiest place on Earth would be full of the crankiest people on Earth.

It's right next to the Spiderman ride! The wait time wasn't too long for a Friday mid-morning around 11:30! We ended up waiting about 10 minutes before placing our order. This Auntie Anne's location does have a limited menu. You can choose from some of the following Pretzel Nuggets: Plain and Cinnamon Pretzel Pepperoni Pretzel and a few other goodies! My mom and I ended up ordering [2] orders of the plain nuggets. I did also purchase a side of cheese sauce and a soda - Sprite. We found some seating across from Auntie Anne's overlooking the Hulk ride. The Pretzel Nuggets were fresh and hot! There was plenty of salt on the nuggets and it was quite filling! The cheese sauce was perfect with the nuggets! I would stop by here again looking for a quick snack if I visit Islands of Adventure again!

This spot is located just at the start of Africa, when you head over the bridge, its to the right. Chances are there is a line. We usually stop here for the breakfast sandwich if we are there early, but we have had ice cream here as well. For breakfast, they have a really delicious sausage, egg and cheese biscuit sandwich. This is what my husband and I always go for if stopping in the morning. This park does not offer tons of breakfast options so this spot is always busy. They also offer a Danish and then a pistachio croissant. These are both fine, they are good classic pastries. There is a lot of seating behind the location so you can grab something, sit down and enjoy or take it to go. The sandwiches are made and wrapped in foil in a different location and brought over, but these are still really great. It is warm and the cheese is melty, the sausage is great. This is a solid breakfast stop. For snacks they specialize in ice cream including the classic cups of Dole Whip and then our personal favorite, the pineapple crisp sundae. Pineapple Crisp Sundae: Pineapple Crisp Cake, Vanilla Ice Cream, Pineapple Caramel, Crispy Streusel Topping. We actually tried this for the first time, this past year and now we want it all the time. It was fantastic! My husband does not like sweets, but even he ate some mentioning how great it was. The streusel topping was a great addition to the dessert. They also offer some alcoholic offerings, even in the morning. They have a few desserts with rum floaters and a coffee with Amarula Cream Liquer. Overall this is a great stop if you want breakfast or if you want something sweet. I definitely recommend coming here, you will not be disappointed.
