32 Best Ice Cream Shops near Lakeland

“In the morning the service is real good but after three in the afternoon they always getting things wrong the food most of the time is cold and taste old. They always in the afternoon got them young boys outside and sometimes there is young girls out there. Playing loud music and making there car make loud noises. And giving them free food and drinks I know it's free because they said it was. So in the afternoon I would not recommend no one to go to the Sonic and cutting the 99 cent drinks in the morning is not good.“

“This so far is one of the best. They stay clean for the most part. The cookies get kind of messy when busy.
Good mix of adult and teens/young adults.
Can be kind of crowded and confusing when picking up orders.

Parking: Daytime and Weekends are the hardest.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking on the side.“

“I’ve only had their ice cream but.... it’ll be awhile before I go somewhere else for dessert.😎“

“i love it here and the 2 young ladies are sweethearts!!“

“stopped in yesterday for a banana split and it was delicious!“

“After dinner, four of us decided to grab some frozen yogurt to end the night on a sweet note. It’s your typical self-serve froyo spot—pick your flavors, pile on the toppings, weigh your bowl, and pay by the ounce. Super standard setup.

My friend and I shared a bowl with chocolate (supposedly less sweet), pistachio, and a mix of nuts like pecans and almonds. Honestly, it was just okay. I’m not a huge frozen yogurt fan, and even the “less sweet” chocolate tasted quite sugary. That said, the toppings were nice—decent variety, especially in the nut section.

Price-wise, it’s budget-friendly, which makes it a decent spot if you’re craving something sweet without breaking the bank. They’ve got indoor and outdoor seating, and we ended up chatting and hanging out for almost an hour. The vibe was chill, and we had a great time just catching up.

If you’re looking for top-tier ice cream or gourmet dessert, this won’t impress you. But for a casual, post-dinner treat with friends, it gets the job done.“

“Kind people, delicious treats, and great atmosphere! What more could you ask for :)“

“I went to this location on March 4, 2023. It was a good way to end the day hanging out with a friend. I haven't been to TCBY in a long time, so it took me a little while to choose what I want. The lady at the counter was very patience with me and my friend. I decided to get the Banana Split with, Strawberries and Cream, Butter pecan, and Rainbow Creme Ice cream. For the toppings I had Nerds Candy, Sprinkles, and Butterfinger. All the flavors just blended really well together especially the Nerds Candy with the ice cream.“

“amazing place!“

“The best Italian Ice and butter cookies hands down. Always professional service and smiling faces. 10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Finally visited today and can’t believe we didn’t go sooner!!! So good and such an unexpected delight! We loaded up a cup with 2 different flavors of frozen yogurt and then started adding candy!! And we had already picked up donuts next door which is a regular “go to” for us!! Service for both was excellent as were the sweets!!! I think we have a new fav to visit!! ????♥️????????????“

“My warmly greeting my partner and I. She was very thorough with her introduction and very polite. They were having some technical difficulties and we only had tap and not enough cash to cover our total. Courtney told us it was on her tonight. As a food service worker I understand technology not always cooperating and I know it can be hard while trying to help customers. I truly appreciate it and will be returning for the wonderful service. Thanks again ladies and hope y’all have a wonderful night.💜💜💜“

“I told the lady (about 45-50 years old) that the cheese on the esquite was spoiled! I even told my little sister to try it and she barely could🤢 it was disgusting.
And the lady said: no, it can't be. Maybe you are not forced to eat it. HUUUH. I was born and raised in Mexico! This is nothing new😂 and then he said “Well, I'm going to try it” & as he went back to try it and came back and again said no! Shaking her head. He said “well what do you want?” Excuse me???
At least one piece of gum, lady. Because it's so hard to know... why would I lie? I didn't even eat it. With this economy, we can't pay for waste. I will not return again.“

“SO delicious! I would highly recommend for a catering event, too!“

“I 08-21-24 I hhZ HIhjhj j hzkjjjmmmmgmmkkkkkkaj“

“My birthday is tomorrow and my wife surprised me with some Oreo cupcakes from Smallcakes. This cupcake is the best I’ve had in years! It reminds me of one I had when I turned 13. 10/10 I definitely recommend!! P.s i literally shed a tear when i finished one😂🤦🏾‍♂️“

“Very clean Bathrooms( had to use that 1st). Staff greeted Us walking into the store. My fiance tried several new flavors. The Ice Cream was delicious of course and We almost didn't get out of the parking lot eating the Ice Cream 💜!“

“While I appreciate the efforts in cleanliness, I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to clean the waffle cone and cookie tray with window cleaner. Aren't food containers supposed to be cleaned with soapy water?“

“delicious snow cones and food. I come as often as I can.“

“B-R is my drop in ‘go to’ when I am in the village and need a friendly face and a delicious dessert.“

“Staff was super friendly and did a great job! Especially the new girl. Highly recommend this place for a great burger.“

“Always friendly and the store is clean“

“I go there a lot, but on April 17,2022, I really wanted some Chocolate Fudge ice cream and when she handed it to me I noticed it looked like regular chocolate ice cream. I made a remark that it wasn’t dark and the girl just ignored me. I paid $7 for my sister and I and went ahead and ate it. They obviously put regular chocolate when it was supposed to be Chocolate Fudge. I am very disappointed. And the girl in the back was looking at her phone and sucking on two of her fingers. I should have left immediately. I would like some kind of compensation or I will go to a different place, thank you for listening“

“Really wonderful ice cream & friendly employees.“

“There were so many flies in the building they couldn't get the orders right then you had to wait another 10 minutes for them to make your other order why you watching flies laying on people's food and all in the back where the food is being made flies or flying on top of people's head on their food at the table seem like there was a lady from corporate there or a district manager and she didn't say nothing about it I don't see how they can pass inspection with all that nastiness around and dirty stuff in their kitchen >>>>>>SONIC I AM VERY SORRY THIS WAS MENT FOR WENDY ON GETWELL BY THE HOSPITAL IT, WAS VERY SICKEN I AM TRULY SORRY. I THOUGHT I WAS ON WENDY NOT SONIC...SONIC HAS MOSTY BEEN GREAT TO ME. FORGIVE ME PLEASE“

“I come here very often since I work nearby, I use the app and the service is always quick, everyone is extremely friendly and my orders are always right!

Dietary restrictions: Very accurate when making orders, even if I add or remove a bunch of stuff

Parking: I've never had to wait for a spot since there's so many“

“I had a fantastic poke bowl with sushi rice, ahi tuna, salmon, avocado, onions, pineapple, mango, masago, seaweed salad, yum yum sauce, and nori flakes — and it was DELICIOUS!!!!! I WAS DELIGHTED!! I tried a peach black tea with boba beads and it was satisfying as well. The poke bowl had all of the tastes and textures that I have been craving and I grinned my way through it and totally kicked myself for waiting so long to try it. The fish was fresh, the rice was wonderful, the veggies and fruit were excellent and crisp, the avocado was perfectly creamy, the yum yum sauce was amazing and all of it blended perfectly together for a bowlful of perfect bites that were completely satisfying in both taste and portion size. The atmosphere was hip, the music young and fresh, the tables were clean and my husband and I recognized that we were by far the oldest people in the place (mid 40s) - but we loved it and we will be back for more!“

“Teenagers with true customer service! Thank you for being the bright spot of the generation. I will tip you every time. Food is always great and correct to order. Management, you’re doing a great job. Please reach out to Arlington Taco Bell and offer training ?.“

“the costumer service is outstanding both times we’ve gone. the patty melt is my favorite, we all love the ff too and the custard is awesome, everything we ordered was good i will say on friday night, she screwed up the ice cream order, and custard seemed very soft we ate it anyway sunday was the best and since when do you see anyone asking if your food was ok or if you need anything? that’s how friendly the people are. definitely will return“

“Listen, the rain was coming down as if we were in the Forrest Gump movie scene! The young lady was sooooo sweet. I had turned off the windshield wipers because I didn't want to add more water on the server. Our order was incorrect and as I shared that with her it looked like a bucket of water fell from out of nowhere! She shivered, smiled, and said I'll be right back. I gave her every dollar in my hand (about 8) for a $7 order! She didn't complain, curse, have a bad attitude, etc.“

“I can not tell you about the food because I only get their fantastic cherry limeade slush! When I am thirsty in the summer heat of Memphis, there is nothing to compare to a Sonic cherry limeade slush. I see so many other options on the menu board, but I just can not bring myself to risk it. Always get the cherry limeade slush, always.“

“The food has been good. The managers were helpful, but as anywhere it could use some growth with a few of the employees. I still order on off days. Otherwise I have been enjoying it this summer. However sometimes you have to just express real thoughts sometimes. Even the bad experiences to help build growth and more productive service and workers.“
