I believe this is shark attack

Best snow cones in the heart of Palmetto. Unlimited amount of flavors, you can think of it, they have it. I tried half melon and half pistachio. Both delicious. I love how smooth the texture is. Completely sold!

I have never been a big fan of snowcones because I always felt like they never had enough flavor compared to other frozen treats like Italian ice. I decided to give Pelican's a try after seeing the great reviews on Yelp. They are some of the best snowcones I have ever had. I liked that they had locally themes specials like the Palmetto HS Tiger which uses flavors that are the school colors. I had a sour tsunami mixed with a other flavor I cannot remember. The sour tsunami flavor was definitely sour and packed a punch! I thought the unicorn condition was adorable with the whipped cream and sparkles. I look forward to going back and trying more flavors. They had over a hundred listed and said they had a ton more that were not on the menu. My only warning is to bring bug spray if you plan to enjoy your ice there. I got eaten alive!

I bring my kids in every Friday before school for donuts and we just love it here. They provide the…read morebest customer service. Just recently they only had one vanilla frosted donut left and both my kids wanted one. Of course one wanted sprinkles and the other didn't. Without me even asking they offered to cut it in half and sprinkle half and then cut a different type of donut in half so they both had one full donut. It was hilarious and sweet all at the same time and saved me from a toddler melt down. We will continue to come back often and are so excited for the new location with the drive thru!

The staff was very nice, but that's the only good thing I've got to say. Two stars are for the…read morestaff. I ordered 2 scoops in a cup. No toppings, just ice cream. The cost was $7.50 for two scoops, $3.75 a scoop. My favorite ice cream store in NYC isn't even this expensive. I paid and told myself it must be made with really good ingredients for that price. I ordered the strawberry and banana crème brûlée flavors. Got to my car, tasted the ice cream. What a disappointment. The strawberry had NO FLAVOR and It had NO STRAWBERRIES. There was not one piece of strawberry in the scoop not even any seeds. It was barely even pink in color. Not sure if somebody messed up the recipe but there was no sign that this was strawberry ice cream. The banana ice cream also had no flavor and definitely no bananas or brûlée (caramelized sugar) for that matter. It was also supposed to have toffee chips which it did not. Clearly this place is lacking in quality. It's insulting to pay $7.50 for ice cream that wasn't what it was supposed to be. I had two scoops of ice cream base with no additional flavor. If the owners are ok with putting out product that is far from what they claim it to be, it's a one and done for me. My guess is they hope people order the sundaes etc loaded up with Reese's or other toppings and won't notice the flavorless ice cream. Good luck to them. UPDATE: OWNER RESPONDED saying I had the wrong business because they don't offer Reese's as a topping and that "isn't their pricing." I double checked and THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT BUSINESS that I wrote about. My Reese's comment was a hypothetical thought. I didn't say I had it there. If the price I was charged isn't the right price, I suggest doing some research into your employees. There were 3 young kids working when I went in on Sunday evening. I WAS DEFINITELY CHARGED $7.50 FOR A CUP OF ICE CREAM WITH 2 SCOOPS. Personally I think this is not an appropriate response from the owner. How many ice cream stores offer banana crème brûlée ice cream? You know it was your store. My concern about the fact that there was no fruit or even flavor in the ice cream was not addressed. You try to write it off as my mistake and that I'm reviewing the wrong store. I'm in the food industry. This is no way to do business. Take some responsibility and or accountability. Perhaps an explanation as to why the ice cream had no fruit? Was it a bad batch? These things happen. I can understand that. Making excuses and not taking accountability, I can't deal with. If you want to have a successful business, I highly suggest you DO BETTER!

As I sit in this establishment, I often ponder to myself "wow, aren't I lucky to have a place like…read moresweetberries in my life". Sweetberries itself is built around the aspect of a good southern family, giving their cream to others in the spirit of good heart, and boy do I love their cream! I do have to touch on one aspect of family, sometimes families split apart. Being from Sarasota, we had a sweetberries location five minutes from my house. Unfortunately that location closed and It felt like a bad divorce, going to the other parents house to spend some time with them. As I sat down today, I ordered the vegetable and beef soup and boy was it good. It was hotter than black asphalt on a hot Florida summer day. The flavor was immaculate and was made with fresh vegetables and beef that tasted like it was butchered the previous morning. Then, I was delighted to receive my vanilla concrete with raspberries and chocolate chips... my go to. I'm not sure if it's the ambiance, quality ingredients, or smiling faces but man is it good. If you are ever in the bradenton/sarasota area please make time to stop by. #sweetberriesforlife

Detwiler's Farm Market is hands down one of my favorite places to shop for anything fresh. When I…read moresay farm fresh, I mean straight-from-the-farm fresh -- and they truly support local farmers. The produce section is always piled high with the most beautiful displays of fruits and vegetables. They make fresh salsa in-house, have an entire area of fresh fruit (even a station where you can core your own pineapple!), and offer some of the freshest seafood and meats around. The deli is just as impressive, with sandwiches, soups, and salads -- and you can have a sandwich made exactly how you like it. There's even a cheese bar where they sample specialty cheeses. Around special occasions like Valentine's Day, you'll find them hand-dipping chocolate-covered strawberries and offering samples. Their bakery is incredible. Everything is made from scratch -- the cinnamon rolls are absolutely amazing, and we love the cookies and cakes. They bake their own bread and even make their own donuts. From the produce to the meat department to the bakery, everything at Detwiler's is truly top-notch. They also have an ice cream counter featuring homemade Yoder's ice cream. You can grab a sundae, milkshake, or even an açai bowl while you're there. Yes, it's always busy -- but somehow the checkout lines move quickly every single time. They are incredibly efficient, and the staff is some of the friendliest and most helpful you'll find anywhere. The store is beautifully decorated, with each department thoughtfully themed. They play uplifting Christian music throughout the store, and no matter how crowded it gets, it's always a pleasant experience. People are genuinely smiling -- even the shoppers seem happy to be there. If you're visiting from out of town, Detwiler's is a must-stop. And if you're local, it deserves a permanent spot on your weekly shopping list. Decor, quality, service -- it's a 10 out of 10 every time.
