When it comes to ice cream, Coldstone is one of my favorites to go out somewhere and enjoy. I love the way they mix in the ingredients by hand, it just always tastes so yummy. The only bad thing here is that since this is part of the outdoor mall Lakeside Village, and right next to the movie theater, it gets quite busy. So the line moved pretty slow when it's busy. But nonetheless I still love Coldstone.

I was traveling for work and was going to see a late movie at the theater next-door and decided I…read morewanted a scoop of ice cream while I waited. Cold Stone closed at 10 PM. I went in at 9:58. The team was courteous. I asked for a small half banana half coffee realizing it was basically closing time. I did not ask for any mix. Ends in the team seemed appreciative. No one seemed annoyed that it was close to closing. No service worker likes to serve somebody right before close and I feel like most customers hate going into places right before close as well as long as everyone's curious things end up going great. Huge thanks to the team.

Bright Ice is the kind of place that reminds you what truly great ice cream should taste like. I…read morewent with the Kahlua Espresso and the Oat Around the World, and both completely exceeded expectations. The Kahlua Espresso was next-level -- rich, bold, and packed with real espresso beans that delivered an authentic coffee flavor in every bite. If you're a coffee lover, this is not optional. The Oat Around the World was just as impressive, loaded with generous chunks of homemade oatmeal cookie bars made right in the restaurant. It made every scoop feel indulgent while still perfectly balanced. The texture, creativity, and attention to detail really set Bright Ice apart from your typical ice cream shop. What truly elevated the experience was the outstanding service. The young lady Faith behind the counter was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about every flavor, and more than willing to let me sample as many of their unique offerings as I wanted. She was patient, engaging, and clearly passionate about the product -- the kind of service that turns a great visit into a memorable one. You can tell they care about ingredients, execution, and customer experience here. Easily one of the best ice cream experiences around, and I will absolutely be back without hesitation.

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.

They have a wide variety of candies, unique items you won't find elsewhere. Some of the stuff is too unique and I suppose people don't want to try it so we have found from time to time to purchase an expired candy and find out later. It's a pretty neat place, they could use some friendlier workers and to unload their stock. Getting around the store with a stroller when the floor has boxes everywhere needing unloaded was annoying today.

My husband found a strawberry Charleston Chew and I was taken back to Junior High in Michigan. Might have been the last time I had one. Speaking of Michigan Faygo is available! Red pop, Rock N Rye, all the favorite. My kids were like a kid in a candy store...wait.... Ok literally "A kid in a candy store!" They picked out their must haves. 2 each and a drink. Great stuff, I wish they had prices posted or something. That was the one bad thing. Totally worth checking out. That Charleston Chew was pretty great while sitting on the couch watching Halloween. Kind of like the 80's all over again! Do yourself a favor and stop in for a bit of nostalgia!

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.

They do try to meet everyone's sweets needs and keep you returning for more. Clerks are friendly, helpful & prompt. I do think their attempt to make it look like a business within a business back-fired a little with "Dirty Dawg Pop Shop" advertising. Very confusing when it's same owner retitling his business for simply characterizing his new product. Do appreciate some sugar-free soda options with the dirty sodas, but I plan to stick with the ice cream!
