“It’s not often in this day and age that you find respectful, hardworking, mature, young individuals, however every time I come to this location that’s what I run into and I will forever be admirable for that! I wish I could remember his name but he’s there almost every time I go and he is so sweet, talks to my kids, has patience while my kids take ten years to decide their flavor, and at the end of it all will literally thank me profusely for tipping! He is just the sweetest young man, his momma should be so proud of how he was raised! Anyway, I recommend Lakeland ice cream company to everyone, best ice cream, but on top of that best service, and I will always go somewhere with the best service. Way to go Lakeland ice cream company!!“

“very friendly. Best icecream we have had.“

“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.“

“Good ice cream ! Never disappoints.“

“Always wonderful service, friendly employees, super quick, and very Delicious!!!! Always have stamp cards and coupons“

“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.“

“My husband and I stop at this location base on the fb reviews. Let me tell you something, don't let the outside intimidate you because the inside was so worth it. When we parked we noticed a veteran walking out to his truck and asked him if it was just for the veterans and he said no. He told us to go straight to the bar and that the restaurant was in the back. The Saturday afternoon, it was also bingo and let me tell you, all eyes where on me and my husband🤣 . The bartender was super sweet and I sure did ordered me a rum and coke. She told us to go out through the middle doors and asked for Katie , who is super sweet.
My husband had a steak and cheese with tater tots and I had a chicken bacon ranch with onion rings, recommended by Katie. Thanks Katie and Noah the cook , everything was delicious and we sure will be back to try the Amish icecream. Next time, we will come in throught the outside back door, so we don't disturb the peeps during bingo🤭“

“The cookie crunch cone was good!“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Love having Culver’s on the North side. Everything is really good specially the ice cream ! Restaurant is clean and employees are friendly. Definitely recommend 🙋🏻‍♀️“
