This evening Alex informed us DQ has a dairy free Dilly Bar!!!And he was the first to turn our blizzards upsidedown... Again thank you Alex for making our weekly trip extra special.????“

“My two granddaughters and I stopped by there Saturday evening. The service was exceptional. The ice cream was delicious and we felt very welcome. I’ll definitely be back.“

“This is hands down the best açaí bowl I’ve ever had. Welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and patient as I decided what we wanted. I chose to build my own but I was nervous about trying the dragon fruit base and was given the option to do half açaí and half dragon fruit. Dragon fruit is what I prefer now! My bf and I really enjoyed it. Two words.. EARLY BIRD! ;)

Vegetarian options: More fruit smoothies , juices , açaí bowls, but they do have chips and cookies, muffins and brownies.“

“My boyfriend and I have been going to them for quite a while now. Let me just say they have the best tasting ice cream there. My boyfriend loves, trying all their unique snow cone or should I say snowball flavors. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable. We have definitely built a relationship with them. I would 100 out of 10 recommend them.“

“Jeremiah’s Italian Ice in South Lakeland is hands-down one of our favorite local spots — a total gem for the whole family! From the moment you walk up to the colorful and upbeat storefront, you can feel the good vibes. The staff is always friendly, patient, and full of energy, even when the line is long (which it often is — and for good reason!).

The flavor choices are endless, and the combinations you can create with their Gelatis (layered Italian ice and soft-serve) are absolutely next level. Whether you’re a classic mango fan or like to go wild with flavors like cotton candy, root beer, or cookies & cream — there’s something for every mood and every age. The texture of the Italian ice is perfect every time — smooth, icy, and packed with flavor, not watery or bland like others. And their soft-serve? So creamy it’s addictive.

My kids are obsessed, and honestly, so am I. It’s become our go-to reward after games, a pick-me-up on hot Florida afternoons, and a no-brainer when friends visit. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous!

Big thanks to the South Lakeland Jeremiah’s team for keeping the treats delicious and the atmosphere top-notch. If you haven’t tried it yet — you’re missing out. Trust me, one visit and you’ll be hooked! Oh Yeah…Unlimited Samples!!! Just in case you have a thought time choosing.“

“The food was only second to the service! I had the biscuits and gravy while my wife and friend both had the eggs Benedict. Both meals were amazing! We also had the onion rings for an appetizer and they were delicious. The service was absolutely phenomenal! Sophia took great care of us with kindness, positivity, and knowledge. We will definitely be back!“

“Our first time tonight and we will become a regular guest. I tried the mangonada - amazing. My hubby had strawberries and cream ice cream with coconut scoop too. VERY delicious. Really friendly staff and let us sample before deciding. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend!!“
