37 Best Ice Cream Shops near Lakewood Ranch

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The ice cream here is really delicious — you can tell they use quality ingredients, and every flavor I tried tasted fresh and rich. The shop itself has a nice vibe and everything was served quickly. My only downside is that the portion sizes felt a bit small compared to the price. I definitely enjoyed my visit and would come back, but a little more ice cream for the money would make it perfect.“

“The best ice cream in Florida! Generous portions, friendly staff and a wonderful location. You can sit inside or outside, both are fun. Can't wait to go back, yummy!!!“

“So happy this is here in our community! The owner, Gary, is always welcoming & only hires the friendliest & most helpful staff! They always make you feel like they appreciate you coming there. Love their Salted Caramel flavor! It is always spotless inside, too!“

“As the Social Media Specialist at Hale Law, I had the opportunity to work with Crepetopia on a social media collaboration for our office, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! Their location is super aesthetic, the staff was friendly and professional, and they were a great collaborator throughout the entire process. We ordered a variety of their chocolate-themed mini crepe bites (Oreo, S’mores, Strawberry Nutella, M&M, Banana Nutella, and Triple Chocolate), and they had everything ready so fast. We brought the treats back to the Hale Law office for our team to try, and the whole office absolutely loved them! The bites were fresh, delicious, and such a fun dessert option. Highly recommend Crepetopia if you’re looking for a great local dessert spot and an awesome place to work with!“

“I just wanted to let you in on a little secret. I have lived in Sarasota for 3 years and i have found the best ice cream shoppe in Sarasota. Pinecraft Ice Cream is the best. Located at 3350 Bahia Vista St. They have a delicious variety of ice cream some even dairy free. My favorite is the soft serve twist. While your there order a pizza from Village Pizza By Emma. Reminds me of the great pizza when I lived in New York. Tell them Bob sent you.“

“Olivia was absolutely fantastic during my visit to Rita’s! She greeted me with such a sweet attitude and made the whole experience feel personal and easy. My order came out perfect, and she checked in to make sure everything was right. She’s the kind of employee who makes you want to come back again. Big shout-out to Olivia for the great service!“

“excelentes helados sabores 😋😋 la atención muy buena“

“The Custard was really great 😁“

“Delicious 😋 and very friendly.“

“Solid, little ice cream shop...

Stopped in for ice cream as that's what we wanted after our dinner before the Super Bowl. We had been at one of these over on the Siesta Key side of the bridge and knew it would be at least as good - and it was.

A nice varied choice for ice cream, the server was friendly and patient with us, and she did a great job serving up nice, big scoops. The ice cream itself was creamy, sweet, and if I could have gone back for more, I would have. This little franchise has got it going well...“

“The inside is quaint- but who cares what the inside looks like- that food was bomb- I got the mango tajin thing in tadpole from the free handouts the gave out and yeah, the tadpole was enough and it was so good. They had a new guy but they trained well. Will be returning:)“

“Homemade popsicles and donuts“

“The works are always grinding to push out the cookies of the week for customers. Today I experienced an issue with the third party delivery driver in which my order was ready and not picked up in over 30 minutes. I called the store to see if everything was okay and they offered to call the delivery service for me. After that my new driver successfully delivered my cookies and it came with a special note! Thank you to whom ever I spoke with on the phone and the rest of the crew💕“

“Rita’s is delicious! We were lucky enough to try the gellati’s at a school event and they were so delicious! The family that owns it is also amazing! Support your local small businesses and grab something delicious!“

“I love their bonbons so much that my husband surprises me with a full box every now and then and we live in NJ! Every time we visit Florida, we make sure to stop by for some chocolate. It’s hard to pick favorites because they’re all just too good!“

“Made a trip from Ft Myers yesterday with 5 friends and we are so glad we did! Such a cute little shop with very friendly staff. Explained to us how the Chimney Cakes are made after we enjoyed a delicious lunch! Couldn’t pass up bringing some home. We will be back 😃“

“I LOVE ❤️ the donkey!“

“Delicious ice cream it reminded me of when I was a kid. My friend and I will be coming back to get ice cream here again once all the construction to the mall is done. The young woman with glasses I think was in charge reminded me that I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. She was friendly and very helpful. Her and another young woman were able to direct us to the store we were searching for.“

“Stopped in on Taco Tuesday. I was on my own so I ate at the brightly lit bar inside. Service was quick and friendly. The bar area is very clean. The three beef tacos had generous mildly-spiced filling, soft toasted corn tortillas, lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese and come with taco sauce and sour cream. Hot sauce on request. The food was hot and the draft beer was cold. My meal with a draft cost $16. And change (not including tip).“

“This is the Best Fruit Stand in Tampa Bay! They have more Aguas Frescas than anyone else. They have every flavor you can think of. The Orange is my favorite because it is like orange juice times 10! So refreshing. They're strawberry and cream cups are better than Plant City! They can do any kind of juice that you want. Including green juices. They make a really good street corn. Elote both in a cup and on a stick. They're nachos are huge. Armando and Sandra will make anything for you they are Artists. They are so creative with fruit and vegetables. Always fresh 7 days a week inside the Oneco Farmers Market. This is my Favorite!“

“Amazing ice cream and chocolate! Best in the area for sure“

“I had a fantastic experience at Häagen-Dazs! The banana split sundae was absolutely delicious— tasty ice cream, fresh bananas and strawberries as well as generous toppings. What really made the visit special, though were the staff. Marisa and Maya were so lovely, welcoming and attentive. Great service and great dessert—I’ll definitely be back!“

“Thank you to Holly for always providing good customer service. Many times she has helped us in a pinch! We appreciate that especially being a small business. I love that you are always looking for new products to help keep our businesses on trend.“
