“So so so so yummy! They have delicious ice cream. Especially their key lime ice cream!! Their key lime ice cream was the best ice cream I have ever had. They are all very kind as well. Super cute ice cream shop. Absolutely recommend!“

“I submitted a review through Google, but I will include it here as well. I cannot recommend this shop enough. First time coming was in early Summertime. Came in with friends, craving some ice cream. Not only did this place deliver, I have come back time and time again since receiving the same incredible service and atmosphere Ryan and his team brings. The rotating flavors are a wonderful dream of variety. If anyone is ever looking for a place for that sweet tooth, or a beautiful way to end your Downtown venture, achieve Great Heights. You will leave soaring through Great Heights.“

“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.“

“Great ice cream, but make sure if you are eating your ice cream outside in the heat of summer you ask for a bigger cup. The single cup is very small and they fill it to the max, which is great, but it also means when it starts to melt the ice cream starts spilling out the sides and there is no stopping it. I'm a grown adult with many years of experience eating ice cream and I looked like a toddler with ice cream running down my hand and arm. Ask for a single scoop in a 2 scoop cup.“

“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...“

“🍦🍦🍦❤️❤️❤️ Very good ice cream lots of choice and clean store“

“Homemade popsicles and donuts“

“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!“

“The Custard was really great 😁“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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!“

“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 😃“

“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💕“

“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).“

“I LOVE ❤️ the donkey!“

“I recently ordered catering for an office party and the team had a blast. The Acai and the Pitaya bowls were awesome. The portion were good size and there were plenty toppings. We will order again. Thank you Raining Berries Southside Village.“

“We always have to stop at all Kilwins whenever We see one. Tasty, delicious, mouth watering, superb, mmm mmm good Ice Cream. This was probably at least the twentieth one that We have been too. I'm not kidding. Try the Ice Cream or Chocolates for Yourself and see what You think.“

“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 !😀“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.“

“large, delicious sandwiches!“

“🍪🍪🍪 If you love cookies, you’ve got to visit Insomnia Cookies in Gulf Gate, Sarasota. The cookies are soft, gooey, and absolutely delicious. The store is adorable, the hours are long, and the manager /Nick/ goes out of their way to be kind and friendly—makes every visit a joy! If you have a craving for delicious fresh warm cookies you can call them and deliver for your home. Open hours are great 11 am-3. 🍪🍪🍪🍪“
