Step back in history and bring those tastebuds for a true experience of a lifetime. Bring your grandmother and she'll shed a tear from the memories.“

“Thank you for staying open“

“Our family stopped in for some delicious Phoebe’s ice cream this evening. We had a hard time choosing as there are so many amazing flavors, so we each got doubles… Vanilla, orange dream, amaretto chip, dulce de leche, and chocolate brownie did not disappoint. The people and atmosphere are both lovely. We enjoyed sitting for a spell to enjoy our treats. 🐈 🍨 💜“

“Such a great ice cream spot! The ube ice cream is the star—creamy, smooth, and perfectly balanced with that rich, slightly nutty flavor. It’s not overly sweet and tastes super authentic. The place is cute and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations. Definitely a must-try if you love unique flavors or anything ube!“

“love it. yummy and made a there“

“Delicious hot chocolate!!“

“The best gluten free food we found in Orlando. They have so many options and everything is delicious. They have savory and sweet, and I honestly couldn’t pick a favorite. Cheesecakes, cupcakes, waffles, a heavenly dish with eggs, bacon, cheese, and a yummy sauce over amazing fries. We were too full to try the gf waffle cones and ice cream!“

“Love this place! Staff is great and vibe inside and outside is cute“

“A hidden gem in the area! There were many flavors to choose from and all great quality. The servers greeted us warmly and I'd say prices are very fair. Inside are a few spots to sit and enjoy your treat. I'm hoping the styrofoam cups are a part of their transition into getting their own personal logo on their containers. But if it's not, no harm done.“

“Delicious and unique treats. Cute and cozy place with great hospitality.“

“Got their graham cracker ice cream. It was incredible!!!“

“Kelly’s has a special place in our hearts! We go 2-3x a month. The ice cream is high quality and you get what you pay for. We have too many favorite flavors to list, but I want to personally shout out to any of the monthly flavors that have been dark chocolate based; there is nothing better to cure a bad day than the chocolatiest of chocolates, and this is that! (I’m looking at you cosmic brownie and German chocolate cake!) Here is a roundup of all the locations our family of 5 has tried: Maitland 11/10 - Our favorite location. Always great service from Andy, the freshest waffle cones/bowls, and always has all the flavors in stock. Ample parking and seating indoors and nearby outdoors to suit your fancy. Consistently perfect! Ferncreek 9/10 - The ice cream is great, and the outdoor area is adorable. Parking is a little rough but it’s a historic area and understandable. Horizon West 10/10 - Stellar waffle cones/bowls, special products, and the best indoor seating. Winter Park 7/10 - A little cramped and no indoor seating, but when the weather is nice the outdoor area is cute! Special shout out for the oatmeal creme pie flavor only available here. Waffle bowls tend to be stale. Winter Garden 9/10 - Extremely friendly service and fresh waffle bowls, we just wish it was a standalone for easier access and less crowding. Hunter’s Creek 7/10 - Stale waffle cones and less than fresh ice cream, but we love the ample parking, wide variety, and proximity to our home away from home. Sanford 5/10 - The only disappointment we’ve had trying so many locations. Waffle cones so stale you can bend them like rubber, and the unfriendly coffee shop staff manning the ice cream counter unwilling to make fresh cones. Ice cream itself is stale and not at all on trend with the Kelly’s brand and stellar reputation. “Sold out” of multiple flavors, and one case has a broken light and door. Just seems like this location doesn’t get the same TLC as the rest.“

“Crispy cone was the best ice cream cone Eva more favor to it though“

“This place has delicious ice cream. The sundaes, smoothies, milkshakes, açai bowls, we love it all. Everything is homemade and it’s so yummy. Great customer service, they keep you happy and entertained while they make you your refreshing treat. I recommend the Cookie Monster, my favorite.“

“Went to Ice-Spot Lake Mary tonight for the second time and it was absolutely wonderful!! My family had a great time and the customer service was phenomenal! Everything was delicious, clean, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience! We loved that there were games we could play while we ate and had fun watching our ice cream being made. Thank you, Ice-Spot! We will definitely be back! 😊“

Bread, Pastries, Shakes, Cones. Jennifer was so nice she allowed us to taste samples until we found our perfect combination.

“Kelly's ice cream,
a sweet seduction
like a whiskey-soaked kiss
on a summer night

Mint chip, your cool breath
on my skin, like a
cold beer on a hot day
as we dance under the stars

Strawberry, your ripe lips
inviting me to taste
with a shot of tequila
our love becomes a flame

Rocky road, your mix
of nuts and chocolate
like a rich bourbon
that warms my soul

Peanut butter cup,
your creamy touch
like a smooth Irish cream
on a lazy Sunday

Cookies and cream,
your sweet vanilla skin
with a cold pint of lager
our love is a sweet sin

Kelly's ice cream,
you make me feel alive
like a shot of espresso
with a splash of desire“

“lo más divino de Venezuela en esta hermosa tierra.“

“Delicious 😋 simple of that.“

“Love this tasty place..🍦🥰“

“I love their Italian ice and soft serve. I buy 2 or 3 at a time.“

“Tasty ice cream date location!“

“If you're in the area, stop by. Sandwiches are great!“

“Ice cream is always fresh. They do let you taste the flavors but the employees (all except one woman) are not that great. You can ask for something, they oddly walk away without acknowledging, they get it for you but the interactions are always odd. Its almost like getting something from a vending machine.“

“Delicious (deliciosos) me encanta más el de maíz 😋“

“I highly recommend stopping by Twisty Treats in Longwood, Florida! The general manager, Sam, was absolutely amazing — she has such a beautiful personality and made my visit feel genuinely special. I came in around 1:00 p.m. when it was pretty quiet, and she suggested I try the Reese’s Twisty (which I’m so glad I did). She made it perfectly! You can tell she’s a hardworking, kind, and thoughtful person who truly cares about her customers.

This location is clean, relaxing, and perfect for families, friends, or anyone who just wants to treat themselves to something sweet. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience — I’ll be coming back!“

“Love twistee treat, Bruni is amazing!!!!“

“I walked into cold stone today alittle down, but as I walked in I was greeted by a friendly worker who ask how I was doing today that really lifted my spirits. I wasn't sure what I wanted but he asked if I wanted to sample anything and answered all my questions, I ordered the strawberry blonde with extra strawberries and whip cream. Gab made my experience a pleasant one. Great conversation, excellent customer service, great personality. Thank you Gab for putting a smile on my face. You are amazing 10/10“

“We had Unicorn Italian Ice at my daughter’s 5th birthday party and everyone loved it! They were prompt to set up, served quickly and were very friendly. I would highly recommend them for any future event.“

“Excelente ...... ! ☆☆☆☆☆.......... ..........“

“Best in town the kids were very please as always and love the holiday flavors“

“Over the past five years, I've visited 20 different Cold Stone Creamery locations, two locations I have visited over 40 times each. THIS ONE STORE IN PARTICULAR IN APOPKA IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST overall areas one could judge. The diverse staff provides exceptionally fast, outstanding service. They are incredibly efficient and professional as a team at this location. I beleive there is one woman who is insanely gorgeous. She septum piercing i believe that's what you call it . She covers her beauty like she hasn't a clue how insanely attractive she is.. They are all very pleasant young woman and do a damn good job. I am not gaining any incentive for doing this and they have no clue who I am“

“Got their graham cracker ice cream. It was incredible!!!“
