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.“

“We love Lakeland ice cream company south! Wonderful service, great flavors and unique options. This location is a bit tucked away and unassuming from the exterior but is an absolute gem. The flavor and consistency of the ice cream is great, my kids tried the cotton candy burrito and I’m not sure if there’s any other way to eat ice cream at this point. The prices are incredible- especially given the serving sizes. I honestly can’t wait to go back again.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“The Peanut Butter Milkshake“

“Delicious ice cream just around the corner from where I live. I usually get the they are so good. This is a great place if you have children. Very child friendly.

Kid-friendliness: This ice cream place is tailored to entertain children

Wheelchair accessibility: This storefront opens up right to the sidewalk. There should not be any trouble getting in with a wheelchair.“

“I am so hooked on all the flavors of Italian ice I’m sad when they’re not open very delicious dessert the wife and I like to have it as much as we can highly recommend best Italian ice I’ve had“

“10 different varieties of frozen yogurt and a lot of toppings. It's self-serve. They require you to wear gloves which are provided. It is pricey. The price is based on weight. We filled a 16 oz bucket and it cost $11. Very good, though.“

“The cookie crunch cone was good!“

“It’s your local Baskin Robins. They have great ice cream and open late. Love this location.“

“Great food and customer service. The wait staff was very tentative. Great prices too! Hard to find these prices any more for the amount of food and service. Highly recommend.“

“Our first visit today so we both tried the banana split and at first we thought a bit expensive compared to some but soon realized you get your money’s worth one banana split could feed two people We’ll definitely be back“

“Went through the drive thru to pick up some burgers and a soda... The line was sorry and moved quickly... The young lady was patient as we figured out what we wanted... Our food came out in no time! As expected from Culver's, or food was fresh and tasty! Thank y'all!
Enjoy!“

“Coming from a gringo who has the pallet of Gordon Ramsey I was definitely pleased with the flavor and portions that were served. It's almost as if you stepped into the dining room at their house. We were definitely pleased. We will be back.“

“It was great food Great service“

“I’ve always had good experiences with this Coldstone- the workers are always friendly and do a good job. Unfortunately that’s just not the case at some locations.

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 located inside 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.“

“Did online ordering during a busy time of night on a Saturday and got our food pretty quickly which was a nice cold delicious strawberry fields salad that I highly recommend because how finely distributed the toppings on the salad was (Plenty of strawberries, chicken, blue cheese crumbles, and pecans). Plenty of food with a good price. Highly recommend this location along side with the nice friendly lady that gave me the food.“
