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.

“Great little ice cream shop. Was promptly greeted by staff upon entry. Very friendly and helpful as we had not been to this establishment. Tried their jail break speciality ice cream combination and it was excellent. Can definitely see myself returning especially given the brutal FL weather.“

“Great place with a different approach to Italian ice cream. I ordered the strawberry shortcake and it was so flavorful but not overpowering with sweetness which made it perfect. The attention was fast even when the line was long. It has a sitting area outside and it opens until 10pm on Thursdays. Pretty much a great place to try some sweet and refreshing flavors. 🌸🌸🌸🌸“

“Highly recommended this Kilwins location based on my recent experience. Made the last minute decision to drive 25 minutes out of my way for some fudge and ice cream and I was not disappointed. Not only did I receive delicious chocolate, I also was treated with a great service experience by Fischer. He made me feel like I was an important customer at this establishment. If I were a business owner I would absolutely want him representing my company. He was genuine and very personable. Qualities that are often missing in the customer service industry.
Thank you, Fischer for your kindness.“

“Delicious 😋 simple of that.“

“pretty good stuff! but they need to relocate! that's a teeny tiny entrance. and I'd suggest having another menu sign further down so we can decide while waiting in line, especially for newbies like us! overall, great service & great products !“

“I ordered 2 love it sized items for delivery , when they delivered I found they had filled two kids sized cups and put them in the like it cups to make it look like they filled a larger cup when they did not give me at all what I paid for which was two of the love it size .
EDIT : the owner reached out to me directly and was very kind and helpful , correcting the issue . Great customer service“

“Thank you for staying open“

“Reid is the best! Every time I come in, he is so friendly. This is the best coldstone in Orlando. He is very communicative about promotions, as well, which is helpful as a customer. The store is always clean. We always are greeted upon entrance, and the service is quick. I have an icecream parlor connected to my apartment complex, but I come all the way to this Coldstone because this of the wonderful customer experience.“

“Always Super friendly serive. A staple of the Sanford Community.“

“Awesome new ice cream shop in Lake Mary! Tons of flavors to pick from! Soft serve, hand dipped ice cream, Italian ice, shakes, sundaes, sugar free ice cream... Huge variety! Excellent service, plenty of seating, and great prices/specials! Support local!“

“I visited this cookie 🍪 place for the first time yesterday (2/20/26) with a friend, and it smelled amazing inside! The staff were very friendly while making more cookies. I bought one large Buckeye Brownie Cookie, and it was delicious!

On the downside, I was expecting a bit more variety. I’m not a huge cookie fan, especially the simpler ones they mostly offer. I would love to see more dessert-style cookies—they had a few cheesecake cookie options, but aside from that, there wasn’t much I would personally eat. I’m not lowering my rating because this is mostly a matter of personal taste.

The large cookie had around 800 calories—definitely rich! It was packed with ingredients, but a bit too sweet for me. It took me two days to finish, as I was only taking small bites after meals.

Overall, everything was fabulous, but it’s just not my kind of dessert shop. Keep up the great work, and thank you“

“Aarna and Zayne are so awesome. They’re there all the time and they handle the stress of customers in the store and online orders very well, all while being very friendly and professional. They’re the kind of employees that make you want to return to a specific location like this one.“

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

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

“Major win for ice cream and humanity in general. Go ahead and buy a banana split.“

“We went to twisty treat Saturday around 11 and the employees were wonderful Jose and Noah made our orders and they were so professional and the ICE CREAM WAS SOOO GOOD!! I've honestly never had ice cream that good. I've gone here before but it wasn't really good but we tried it again and idk these guys had the ice cream magic touch. They definitely won my business and they sure do deserve a raise!! Even the car in the drive through pulled up to us tell how good their ice cream was too. Such a great experience I Can't wait to go again!!“

“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“

“Crumbl is delicious. The staff is pleasant and efficient. The place looks clean and inviting“

“Was nice to see a Rita's on our family trip to Orlando. Being a Philly native, we grew up on Rita's during the Summer. Apparently this store just opened up and we were very happy to have stopped. Very friendly staff and the product never disappoints. Support the Sanford Ritas Florida residents and those traveling through the area.“

“Haagen-Dazs has definitely been one of my favorite ice cream and dessert brands since I took my first bite, many years ago.
They are notoriously upscale, and therefore, not the cheapest menu among their competitors. Most of the time, I am willing to overlook that fact and splurge every once in awhile. Everyone needs the occasional treat.
I was delighted when, while scrolling through restaurants on a third-party delivery app, I landed on this Haagen-Dazs location that is not too far from my house, and therefore, a viable option while deciding which delectable dessert would be mine for the night.
Of course, with today's added fees for just about anything and everything, especially delivery, the cost for two milkshakes was far more than I had anticipated.
Nearly $30.
By the time I received the milkshakes, they were slightly melted, and one was the incorrect flavor.
I don't place faults on the shop alone, seeing as they are likely overwhelmed by the new demands for takeout orders and the limited number of staff to get every single item made to perfection.
However, I will say that after stopping by this location in person a few weeks later, I was impressed with their employees quickness and accuracy. Plus, my two milkshakes went from $30 down to about $18-ish.
My advice?
Cut the third-party companies out of your order and take your business into their location.
Oh yeah, and don't forget to try the "Belgian Chocolate Milkshake". It is simply the BEST.

Vegetarian options: There is not a vegetarian-friendly menu at Haagen-Dazs, but there are a couple flavors of sorbet that are vegan-friendly.

Dietary restrictions: They have several options for seekers of 'healthier' or 'less fattening' options.
Their newly released "HEAVEN" collection includes the following flavors: Sea Salt Caramel, Cold Brew Espresso Chip, Strawberry Waffle Cone, and Peanut Butter Chip. The collection is made with 1/2 the fat, 1/3 of the calories, and 25% less sugar than the regular flavors. They also contain no artificial sweeteners. At this time, I believe the "Heaven" Collection is only available in 14 oz. take-home containers.
They also have a collection called "DIVINE" which has 50% less fat and 25% less sugar.

Parking: Handicapped parking spots and plenty of spaces in the lot. It is located in a strip mall, so there are spots all around, although there are times when this area is busy.

Kid-friendliness: There are kids-size single scoops and plenty of sweet treats that your kids will be grateful for!

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking spots, ramps on the sidewalk, no stairs, easy to access in a wheelchair or crutches.“

“Beignets & Brew at 2411 Avalon Ave Suite D Muscle Shoals, AL 35661 United States Was the best beignets I have ever had!!! They were perfectly cooked crispy in the outside soft and moist on the inside! We are visiting and I plan on eating there every day we are here!!!!“

“We love rainbow snow cones !!!! Been going since the 90’s. Bob is the nicest and makes the experience fun w snow balls!“

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

“Fresh HOT food all the time.“

“Tasty ice cream date location!“

“Me and my family came to Wondermade and it was a wonderful experience. We got ice cream and it was delicious and all homemade. The lavender ice cream was very interesting. The staff was so kind and the storefront was so clean and organized. I will definitely be coming again next time I'm in historic Sandford.“

“The ice creams are delicious, I recommend this place 100%.“

“Frosty Fox Gainesville: My husband and I recently tried this place and the puffles are absolutely amazing. It’s our new favorite dessert. We drove all the way back to town from Archer to get it again tonight. Strawberry puffle with extra strawberries, mini stroop waffles and vanilla gelato. 20/10 would recommend. Also, as someone who is lactose sensitive, gelato is way easier on my stomach than ice cream!“
