“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!!“

“Love Planet Smoothie! It’s perfect for some tart, tangy fruity flavors.

They have a lot of options for whatever you’re in the mood for. There’s a range of sizes and even a 40 oz option, which I have no idea when you’d ever need or want a smoothie that big, lol.

This is the best refreshment sometimes!“

“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“

“A delicious combination of Italian Ice and soft ice cream. Great service and very friendly servers.“

“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🤭“

“Cold Stone Creamery in Lakeland is pure happiness in dessert form. Every time you walk in, you’re greeted with that sweet, buttery smell of fresh waffle cones and a team that’s upbeat, patient, and genuinely happy to help you build the perfect creation. They keep the place spotless, the line moving, and the energy fun — exactly what you want from an ice cream shop.
The ice cream itself is rich, smooth, and consistently delicious. Whether you stick with a classic like Birthday Cake Remix or go wild with your own custom mix‑ins, everything tastes fresh and indulgent. They don’t skimp on toppings, and they mix it with care so every bite hits just right.
It’s the kind of spot that turns a simple dessert stop into a feel‑good moment. Great service, great flavors, and a team that clearly takes pride in what they do. If you’re in Lakeland and craving ice cream done right, this Cold Stone location is a must‑visit.“
