“We are from Michigan so it is hard to impress us with ice cream, but this place is better than anything we have back home. Very good. I highly recommend this place. Parking is a little tricky to find, but we found $5 an hour parking across the street. Brownie caramel and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is on another level 💪“

Pecan Jacks Ice Cream & Candy - Fruitville Farms Ice Cream Shop •

“Excellent artisan ice cream with unique, well-executed flavors. The Amaretto Cherry was a standout, rich and flavorful without being overly sweet. The Bourbon Pecan was equally impressive, with great texture and a balanced flavor profile. The quality of the ingredients and craftsmanship are evident in every scoop. Definitely worth a visit if you appreciate small-batch, artisan ice cream.“

Crepetopia Ice Cream Shop •

“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!“

“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...“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved this gelato shop! The aesthetic is so beautiful and welcoming—proof that sometimes the simple things are the best.

The gelato was a 10/10. You can truly taste the quality and care in every bite. Everything is homemade by the owner, who works incredibly hard, staying up late and waking up early to make sure everything is fresh and perfect for her customers.

It’s clear how much passion goes into this place, and it makes the experience even more special. Great atmosphere, amazing gelato, and a wonderful owner. I can’t recommend it enough.

If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out! 🍨✨“

“Crumbl never disappoints when it comes to variety and presentation. This box had a great mix — a rich chocolate cookie, a cookies & cream stuffed one, a fudgy chocolate cookie with cream cheese frosting, and a fun birthday cake cookie with sprinkles. Cookies were soft, gooey in the center, and generously topped, though a couple looked slightly underbaked — pretty typical for their style. Overall, solid flavors, good portions, and worth the trip.“

I always bring my cars here to get cleaned up. I highly recommend them and trust this local, family-owned business way more than the big corporate chains like Tommy's. It feels good to support a local family operation that actually cares about quality and their community. Whether you're coming for the food, the golf, or to get your vehicle sparkling clean, you will not be disappointed!“
