“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.“

“Deliciosas paletas aguas. Tengo 10anos llevando mis niños I no dejo de probar cada novedad q sale nueva la recomiendo“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed spending time at the park. Plenty of shaded areas and paths to walk. Wished they had changing tables in the restrooms.“

“I’m not exaggerating when I say I had the best ice cream sundae of my life here. I wish I got the name of the employee that made our ice creams, but whoever made it was NOT stingy with the ice cream OR the toppings. The cup of blue and pink ice cream was cotton candy flavor, it was delicious but it was also HUGE. This is what they call a small here😅 The other one is the Heath brownie cupfection. The amount of chocolate and caramel in my cup was ridiculous. You could barely even see the vanilla ice cream in the middle 🤤(and we all know Dairy Queen has the best vanilla ice cream anyways, this just added to it) on top of that was a huge brownie that honestly tasted homemade. It was so soft, and didn’t feel old either. The Heath candy pieces on top were abundant to say the least, then I got to the bottom of the ice cream and realized there was another heaping scoop of Heath bar pieces. I almost shed a tear. 10/10 would recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🍦“

“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.“

“Was clean and ice cream portion was great as well as the ice cream“

“Ice cream and cakes for anything“

Gracias señor.“

“We tried the Big Dill Meal and were really impressed with the burger—it was delicious! The dill toys were just okay, but the greasy aftertaste wasn’t our favorite.

We also had the pretzel, which surprisingly tasted like a salty donut—but we actually enjoyed it!

As for the pickle drink… we didn’t quite have the courage to go there. Instead, we went for the Heath ice cream shake, and it was a sweet, satisfying choice to end the meal.“
