33 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 location is the best in the city. Was having some difficulty redeeming rewards and they helped me out incredibly well. The workers here really care about you and are very helpful without any hassle. And the cookies are great too. The workers here need a raise for real. Thank you guys again, I'll be back soon!“

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

“My wife and I stopped by Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers for lunch, and it turned out to be a great experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming. The service was quick, our food arrived hot, and everything was prepared just the way we ordered it.

I ordered one of Freddy's steakburgers with fries, while my wife enjoyed her meal along with one of their famous frozen custard shakes. The burger had a nice crispy edge, was juicy, and had plenty of flavor. The fries were thin, hot, and perfectly seasoned, making them easy to keep reaching for. The real surprise was the shakes. They were thick, creamy, and packed with flavor. If you're a fan of old-fashioned frozen custard, Freddy's definitely delivers.

The restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and had a classic diner feel that made it a nice place to sit down and enjoy lunch. Even during the lunch rush, everything was well organized, and the employees kept the dining area looking great.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable visit. Good food, friendly service, and delicious shakes made this an easy place to recommend. Whether you're stopping in for a quick burger or treating yourself to one of their frozen custard desserts, Freddy's is worth the visit. My wife and I left full and satisfied, and we'll definitely be back again the next time we're craving a great burger and an even better shake.“

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

“My family loves Menchie’s! We have been going between this location and the one on Winchester for years! My only complaint is our last visit the young cashier lady told all of the kids that there wasn’t any coloring pages even though they’re always available. Not sure what that was about..“

“I had a great experience at Cold Stone Creamery on Germantown Parkway! The store was spotless, and you could tell they take pride in keeping everything clean and welcoming. The service was excellent—friendly, quick, and attentive from start to finish.

My go-to order is the Peanut Butter Perfection, and it did not disappoint. It’s the perfect mix of creamy, rich, and indulgent—definitely my favorite creation on the menu.

If you’re looking for great ice cream, great service, and a clean environment, this location is a solid choice. I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“amazing place!“

“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😂🤦🏾‍♂️“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“My kids and I love it here! While we were in this time, the cashier dealt really well with a difficult customer while still being friendly and understandable. It’s always very clean and they have a small selection of children’s books to choose from to help keep the kiddos entertained if they finish their ice cream before you finish yours. Will be coming back all summer long & then some!“

“Best snow cone ever - #supreme!“

“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 💜!“

“Chocolate fudge was delicious!!“

“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“

“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“

“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“

“Arlington Sonic delivered a perfect order.
Gavin and Garrett run a sharp crew. My burger looked exactly like the photo. Fresh bun. Crisp pickles. Clean onions. No mistakes on my custom order. Pickup was fast and friendly.
If you want a Sonic where the managers take pride in the food and the service, this is the one.“

“Really wonderful ice cream & friendly employees.“

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

“Always friendly and the store is clean“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“The food is great especially the lemon pepper wings. On a drunk run the burgers are good too. The fried fish is excellent. For a person of a certain size this place is a dream come true. The service is as expected for a Lil spot. They really need to clean up outside that's not a good look.“

“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 only eat one thing and I drink nothing from this place BLT toaster extra bacon, they usually are awesome, I do not consume anything with vegetable oils, nothing with high fructose corn syrup, nothing with artificial flavors and nothing GMO.“
