“Delicious ice cream! Staff is always friendly“

“Great coffee. Very lovely Barista. An all around pleasant experience.“

“I have been there several times since opening. Today I ordered through Uber Eats. The food was delicious and packaged well. Great job with my first delivery order!“

“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!“

“Our family of eight arrived after closing time, thinking the shop was still open until 11. Tyler, Lorenzo, and the team kindly stayed late to serve us and even offered helpful recommendations since it was our first visit. We had a wonderful time celebrating our daughter’s birthday, and everyone loved their ice cream choices. The customer service was outstanding, and the ice cream was just as amazing. We’re so grateful for the experience and will definitely be back!“

“I forgot to make it 5 star in my review! Love Holy Cow and Melinda!!!“

“I had chocolate peanut butter cup. My dogs had sundaes taken to them. Vanilla ice cream with a milk bone on top. Best of all it was delicious and not over the top expensive.“

“Best ice cream I’ve had in or outside the UK!“

“I recently visited Wicked Awesome Ice Cream in Lander and had a really positive experience overall. The space itself is charming — I loved the dedicated toy area for kids and the soft jazz/classical music playing in the background made it feel upscale yet comfortable. The staff were friendly and the flavors were imaginative and well-done; you can tell they put care into what they’re serving.

My only caveat is that I felt the price was a bit high for the quantity of ice cream I received. It didn’t quite match my expectations in terms of portion size for the cost. If that were a little more generous I would absolutely rate it a full five stars.

In sum: a fun, unique ice-cream outing — great ambiance and service — just slightly pricey for the amount served. I’d happily go back, especially if they decide to bump up the portion a touch.“

“Staff was very welcoming as you walked in. Explained the menu to us as it was a first time there.

We spent over $30 for a small custard in a cup, gelato/custard, and ice cream sandwiches. It was good but for me...but that's a little pricy for what we ordered.

This is somewhere I would go once or twice a year.“

“Yum yum yum, they def put a delicious spin on old time favorite flavors along with some new flavors. This has been the best icecream I've tried in the area. Now I know I can buy their pints in the store or at their location and enjoy it!“

“Exceptional Ice Cream Shop with Outstanding Service! This ice cream shop goes above and beyond in every way! The service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The staff made sure every customer felt welcome, offering samples with a smile and patiently answering questions about flavors. Their hospitality truly elevated the experience. As for the ice cream? Freshly made, rich, and unbelievably delicious! You can taste the care in every scoop—creamy, perfectly balanced, and bursting with flavor. Whether you stick with a classic or try something bold, it’s hands-down the best ice cream I’ve ever had. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates top-tier service and unforgettable treats! 🍦✨ 10/10—will be back again and again!“

“Best in the city❤️“

“Stopped in for a shake after a great day at the beach! I had a medium chocolate shake and my wife had a medium strawberry shake. They were very good! So thick and creamy! Friendly service! Clean out door eating area. Clean restrooms. Highly recommended!“

“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💕“

“Best gelato I’ve had in the US!
Pistachio flavor is unreal. The texture is right, not too sweet, perfectly creamy, no artificial aftertaste, a little salty.
The service was also very nice and quick, even though this place gets very busy. Everything was nice and clean. Prices are reasonable. Will be back!“

“I discovered Hershey's ice cream a number of years ago and they are now just about the only place that you can get really good peach ice cream. Service was good prices are in line with other places, the location was easy to get to and clean.“

“Wonderful chocolates. The shop was very clean and inviting. The box containing the chocolates is very well-made and has pockets for each piece. The chocolate pieces are beautiful and illustrate the flavors they contain. I plan to buy more chocolate from this store.“

“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.“

“I love this sweet little place, and my nephews do too. The owner and staff is so kind, and the ice cream is rich & incredible. We got a sugar cone with cookies & cream and cake cones with rainbow respectively. It's a great spot to get some AC and old-fashioned, not price-gauging ice cream!! There's a nice drink fridge too. Highly recommend!It's right next door to Orange Blossom Cafe if you're looking to grab coffee & ice cream all at once! One of the best little corners in Bradenton.“

“Augie Conde and I stopped at THE CITRUS PLACE on our trip home from St Petersburg last week. It's a really cool old school Florida souvenir shop and citrus market. It's located on route 301 just off of the first exit from the southbound side of the Sunshine Skyway bridge. It's owned by Trish and Carole. They were so kind and generous sharing some wonderful items and memories with us. We bought some vintage Florida souvenirs and some old citrus packing bags. We also bought tropical citrus jelly and marmalade. We'll be bringing the vintage items to the next FLORIDIANA FEST that will be held February 20-21 at the Sarasota Fairgrounds Potter Building. We're looking forward to seeing you there ! We'll definitely be back soon !“

“Blizzards were 🔥 well worth the price. Everyone loved!“

“We were immediately greeted by smiling staff and were patient while my daughter tried 3 flavors before deciding. Icecream is fantastic and a big thank you to Zachary for going above and Beyond when my daughter needed a lid to go, but the ice cream was in the car so he personally walked outside to find the right size for her, which was very nice“

“Stopped in here after buying gelato next door and wish we had just come here. Customer service was great, thank you Jonathan. So many treats to choose from. A great selection of old fashioned candies, craft sodas, fudge, chocolates and more. We are locals but we were happy to play tourist and find this place. We will be back.“

“Wonderful excellent place ? delicious and natural juices carrot, beet celery, orange, and what can we say about the vegetables freshly cut fresh fruit and above all they have an area for each preparation excellent the treatment I have been attending the place for 3 years I recommend it 100%% %“

“Absolutely fantastic experience! I was the graduation coordinator for a local homeschool support group. I asked local business for donations to be included in the graduates gift bags. Coco Joes went above and beyond with their donations, blessing all of our graduates!!! Such a fun and unique atmosphere with amazing food and desserts!! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique experience. We’ll definitely be coming back soon! I love supporting small businesses and this one is top notch!!“

“I pass by this location almost every day on my usual afternoon Starbucks Run. Yesterday I happen to notice something seemed different. Behind the counter, and the establishment in general seemed less cluttered and very clean. I happened to be looking over when the young lady behind the counter made eye contact with me and smiled. She greeted me with the biggest Smile and said, “how are you doing today?” And I told her I was great. I mentioned to her how good things were looking over there. She then introduced herself to me as the new General Manager. I believe she said her name was Sarah. I was struck by how confident yet polite and sophisticated this young lady, Sarah seemed to be managing and ice cream store. I told her that I was waiting in line at Starbucks but sometime I would have to come over and try some ice cream. She again smiled, warmly and enthusiastically welcomed to me to stop by sometime on a break. It’s funny how she had noticed in the past week or two I had been going to Starbucks almost every day. Very observant on her part.Overall, I was thoroughly impressed by being noticed and then so graciously being welcomed to stop by. I will most definitely be going to this location the next time I am craving ice cream.“

“Just purchased a birthday cake from Menchies for grandsons sixth birthday. Cake was delicious —decorated so amazingly —Mario theme—big hit at his party!!! Great service ..fun place ..recommend !😀“

“We are staying in Anna Maria and I wanted to get a nice ice cream cake for my husband’s birthday! I knew Baskin-Robbins was at the Dunkin place so I called on Friday hoping to get a cake for late Saturday or early Sunday. I was given the number for a different Baskin location and was told to ask for Theresa, the cake decorator. When I got Theresa on the phone and explained what I was looking for, she could not have been more helpful!! She was awaiting an ice cream delivery so she called me back later that day to give me the information I needed. I ended up ordering a chocolate cookie, Oreo fudge creation with chocolate ice cream. I told Theresa I wanted to get it at 7:15 AM on Sunday. She told me it would be there. She even called again on Saturday to confirm my choices. We got to Dunkin early and I honestly was BLOWN away that the cake was there !! It was so delicious that our entire “party” of 6 enjoyed it for two nights!! Theresa is an incredible asset to Baskin and does a GREAT job!!“

“We used to enjoy Sweet Berries, dedpite habitually slow service. No more, after last night. We ordered soups & salads (most likely already prepared) to eat in, then sat & sat & sat while to-go orders were called - several of them had bern put in AFTER we had ordered. After half an hour my husband checked with them as to the status & was told it would be right up. More to-go orders were taken * filled, while we sat, waiting. We finally threw in the towel & demanded our money back & left. We won't ne back, and we will no longer recommend Sweet Berries to others.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.“

“I will and do literally drive from Ft Myers just to eat here. Something about the burgers and the fry seasoned shoestring fries..delicious!! P.S they use long sliced pickles which makes the burgers even better!!“

“Stopped in to get a milkshake. This is a little tucked away shop in front of a boat marina. Not much of a place,but the shakes were good. They have about a dozen different flavors. They do have a small outdoor porch to sit enjoy your shake, smoothie, or ice cream. If you like quaint little shops, check this place out.“

“Fantastic restaurant with fantastic employees. They always provide excellent customer service, that’s half the reason I enjoy coming out. Keep up the good work!“

“First time here with my family it was really yummy burger it taste fresh and I love their fries too!“

“Renee is such an asset to DQ! She is so friendly and fun! She was so patient helping me use the app for the first time! Great food and service!“

“The place is clean and orderly. The management seems to really care for his employees and it shows when the handle the customer. The food is not regular fast food, rather it is cooked to order so it comes to the table hot and tasty. I highly recommend their burgers and their fish platters.“

“Le Macaron has the best gelato and pastries etc.“

“Burger and Ice Cream was excellent“

“Staff should be upfront at all times not chatting on the back and then when you call them they get mean and rude to you“
