We all scream for ice cream. What's your favorite place to get ice cream/yogurt?
 

What's your favorite place to get ice cream in or near TV?

I may have missed some of these and we have Friendly's coming too.

Love lovehorse Bruster's Real Ice Cream but I live pretty far from 42.

Re: We all scream for ice cream. What's your favorite place to get ice cream/yogurt?
 

Favorite place is Brusters and the flavor is Vanilla..

It's always nice to see Patty too... :bigthumbsup:

Re: We all scream for ice cream. What's your favorite place to get ice cream/yogurt?
 

Ollie's gets our vote. Fun to see the flavor of the day listed in TV paper daily. Another one of the finer things of living in TV.

Brusters for sure ;D .. John Z even had pumpkin icecream, and Mr. Wallethead loved the key lime.

Sugar-free ice cream
 

We are arriving in just over two weeks for our first Lifestyle Preview.

Where in TV can we go to have a sugar-free ice cream treat?

d lites at Buffalo Ridge (in front of Wal-Mart)....GN

I love D'lites as well.....THE BEST and Doug and Stacy (owners) and Heather and Kayla (employees) are so sweet!!! They have lines around the whole store in the warmer weather.....they take care of every last person!!

Brusters
 

Speaking of Brusters and owner (JohnZ), I miss his presence on TOTV. I used to thoroughly enjoy his posts .. always witty and well thought out.

Really crazy about De-lites mainly because a cup of icecream is only 4 carbs and I think 60 calories. you cant beat that if your watching the scale and it tastes great too!:coolsmiley:

Thanks for the suggestions...knowing us, we'll try both places more than once on out trip:coolsmiley:

Cincinnati has the BEST ice cream.
 

Cincinnati is the food capital of the world and if you don't believe it, take a look at my fanny!

Nothing, in the way of ice cream....compares with United Dairy Farmers and Graeters ice cream. I have not found a favorite but the one with peppermint chunks in it that Graeters makes at Christmastime is close.

Tcby
 

Oh yes, is there a TCBY in, or around, TV?

I second the De-Lites recommendation. Good ice cream, low in calories and golf cart accessible!

I sure hope the rumours I hear about it closing are wrong!

Here's a sample of one of the No Sugar Totally Fat free HomeMade Ice Creams at Bruster's -

Agree!
 

I completely agree with Donna and Kathie on this one. Bruster's is the best ice cream I've ever had. This is real ice cream. Hey JohnZ and Patty where are you two??? :shrug: Busy concocting new flavors? Yummmmmm! I'll be there to try them. ;)

Back in the Milwaukee area there are custard stands all over town. Leon's Frozen Custard will have lines OUTSIDE even in the winter.

For those of us from that area, custard is probably our favorite therefore

OLLIES !! :eclipsee_gold_cup:

ps; they also have sugar free but com'on. .. ..
that's like diet Coke with your Capt Morgan

I feel another addiction rearing it's ugly head.....
 

Where is Brusters located??

Ollie's of Course!
 

I love Ollie's! I have been going there since they opened long ago and love the just made Flavor of the Day! My favorite is Mint Oreo, but it's really hard to beat their "Ollie Bar!

Yum Yum

That Kinda made me hungry!:icon_hungry:

:agree:

Ollie's Frozen Custard
 

Is Kilwins still in SS? I thought that place was excellent.

I also liked Brusters - The brownie sundae was so big we had to share it!

Ollies!!!!!!!!!!! Pistacio:eclipsee_gold_cup:

Thanks Patty...
 

Thanks Patty...

I haven't had ice cream in quite some time never any place in or around TV. I've always liked Friendly's

D'Lites
 

D'Lites is great for dieters but also for us lactose intolerant people. What a great place owned by a great family. We love it. So wonderful to hop on our golf cart and go get an ice cream at D'lites....how romantic its our Friday night date.

Carvel
 

We went to Carvel on Sunday evening to get an ice cream, only to find a notice on the door that they went out of business at 6 pm that evening.
There was a couple waiting outside the door, who stated they were regular customers and had the young girl inside call the owners, so they could have one last cone from Carvel. The owners did arrive and told us that they could no longer afford the $4,000 monthly rent, another $4,000 for other expenses, and fees they had to pay to corporate for the ice cream. They just could not sell enough ice cream to stay in business.
What a disappointment!!!!! First Dairy Queen, and now Carvel, which became our favorite ice cream spot. I guess there Buy one , get one free Sundaes and cones did them in.

Dairy Queen
 

A friend asked where DQ locations were nearby. After checking their main web site, 4 locations are mentioned, but all are closed.

I emailed a note asking them to correct their web site and also what's the possibility of re-opening a location in the area. The note back from them asked if I wanted to purchase a franchise...so, sorry folks, no Dairy Queen opening around here anytime soon.

Best Ice Cream
 

Cannot believe Blue Bell is not one of the choices. It is, by far, the very best ice cream made in the USA. Try the Homemade Vanilla that you can get at Publix. Compare it side by side with any other brand. You simply cannot beat natural fresh ingredients. Check out their website.

When & where is Friendly's coming to The Villages? They were rumored to be coming to the former Bono's BBQ on CR 466 but that deal fell through and IHOP moved into that site. Always enjoyed Friendly's ice cream and for now, am happy with Publix Premium Ice Cream.

Is Bruster's still open? We've been there when in TV and it's pretty good. The downside is the location, if you're in the south, and limited, all outside, seating.

You'd think with TV demographics ice cream shops would do well.
