“This is my 3rd time coming here and I absolutely love it here. Their dole whip is amazing every flavor I’ve tried, and I love their vanilla swirled in. The staff is amazing and so friendly. I’m so happy we have this little gem in winter haven ?“

“What a wonderfully eclectic place! Dined for lunch 2/2/24. Most amazing, friendly, and accommodating staff! Loved our food. Friendly conversation while awaiting our daughters' arrival for lunch. Will definitely be back and bring our friends. Worth the drive from Lakeland for sure!“

“Been going since opening the price for two single scoops is almost 12.00 that’s ok if you get at least a decent amount it was ok but went yesterday new employees gave 1 super small scoop about 4 bites can’t justify paying that much for 1 small scoop will try one more time to see if it was a fluke but for that price i want a decent serving if you want a 2.00 scoop that’s good but for 5.50 its gotta be better excellent icecream shop just make it worth the cost and as for the 10% discount card thats a joke tried to use it three times employees had no idea what or how to use it i think after 7 visits a free scoop is better than a discount that doesn’t make any difference having a loyalty card is great but it needs to benefit the customer thanks“

“I’d say it’s a good thing I don’t live on this side of town, even worse I work about 30 seconds away. How I haven’t eaten here yet, I have no clue. When I say 10/10, WOW this quesadilla is DELICIOUS. The service was so amazing, and my food didn’t even take 10 minutes. You won’t regret checking them out, I’ll definitely be gaining a few more lbs in my future! ☺️“

“Lakeland, FL. Located in the Joinery, which is like a cool Franklin, TN destination food court and hangout spot for high school to GenZ and beyond, Mayday is worth a daily visit!Aviation terms abound (order a flight of flavors), plus other tongue in cheek names (the Parent Trap).So dang the diet we had two flights (6 mini-scoops each!) and a double. We swooned over the Datil Dark Chocolate (crunchy nibs and a datil pepper burn a few seconds in); the Dirty Chai (first the gingerbread flavor then the coffee…moan of pleasure); and pure delight over the Blueberry Toast Crunch; Raspberry Sorbet; Straight Up Strawberry and Parent Trap.Space does not allow describing what made each flavor different from any other ice cream you’ve ever tasted. Just know: Mayday is dangerously addictive. They give free samples. Beware.“

“This place was awesome! Highly recommended! The pine nut, coconut, avocado, sweet corn, mango chili, pecan, sorbets, chocolate, vanilla, Oreo were all awesome ? the ice cream is home made and the store is super clean. We didn’t have room for the popsicles but they looked amazing. Friendly and accommodating of our large family visit toward the end of the night.“

“The italian ice is great. The fact that they allow you to tru as many flavors as you like is amazing. Although some of the employees seem annoyed at the policy when you ask to try more than two. The layers of italien ice and ice cream are wonderful ideas. They also have a sugar-free option.“

“Coming from a gringo who has the pallet of Gordon Ramsey I was definitely pleased with the flavor and portions that were served. It's almost as if you stepped into the dining room at their house. We were definitely pleased. We will be back.“
