Default Soft serve anyone??

Aside from the soft ice cream shop in the back of one of the stores in SS, are there any other soft ice cream shops around? Even on 441/27? Really miss the wonderful soft ice cream we had up north.

Nothing like up north, but I think they have cones in that place in LSL-can't remember the name of it. I've kind of gotten okay with McDonald's

Try Ollies! Frozen custard. So YUMMY! On 27/441 in the Publix shopping center by Buenos Aires Blvd. Ollies is tucked in the corner near the end by Subway. I guarantee, you can't go wrong. Their flavor of the day is always on page A2 of the Daily Sun.

If you have never tried Chick-Fil-A solf serve, you're in for a treat! Closest thing to homemade we've found. Yes, it is soft serve. There is one on 441 - 730 N Us Highway 441, The Villages, FL 32159

Ollies is great. Close, but different is Peach Wave yogurt in Colony beside Cici's or High Five near McDonalds out on 466 strip. Having said all of that I'd like to see a dairy queen. Their sugar free bars are hard to get and always our first stop when we head north on I-75.

Default Ollie's Boston Shake

Great frozen custard, plus something I never heard of until visiting Ollie's:

Boston Shake--Is our Regular Milk Shake topped with a small
sundae on top plus whip cream & a cherry.

Is there a Culver's near TV? Around here they've been running a lot of ads for their variety of frozen custard. It's always been their soft serve.

No problem "Daon". . . just spot me 8 strokes next time. If you haven't tried Chick-Fil-A (CFA), I'm telling you, it's the closest to homemade we've tried. We like McDonald's and others, but their soft serve is real smooth. CFA has a little iciness to it like the old hand churned homemade ice cream I remember. The flavor is nice as well. We use to go by for a cone most everytime we ate out. They call their's "icedream". Now, we've gotten too lazy to drive a mile and just keep a DQ ice cream cake in the freezer!
