Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
An average alone would undersell where this place is now. Reviews mentioning front-of-house average 3.4 stars, so it divides opinion rather than settling it.
The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (14 of 20). The split is 15 positive to 5 negative across 20 rated reviews. No one in this corpus comments on how food arrives at all.
The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (100/100) and no violations cited. The visit behind that grade was June 8, 2026. That puts it ahead of 100% of graded kitchens in Orange County. Nothing was written up at that inspection at all.
Neither signal is decisive on its own here, which is why both are shown. Full reviews follow below in the order they were left.

Love their flavors and the atmosphere!

Kelly's is great. We had a miss understanding about getting double charged and they were fantastic about getting it refunded. Thanks!

The service we received from Rod & Riley was top notch. They were very accommodating with us taste testing various flavors and gave great recommendations that we ended up taking! 10/10 customer service.

Rod & Riley is amazing. Great recommendation on a Sundae . 100% recommended for everybody.

The ice cream this week was giving cheap milk vibes. Usually the ice cream is top notch. This week the ice cream had more of a medicine flavor to it. I only taste this medicine flavor with cheaper milk variety . It gives vaccinated cow milk taste this week.

Stopped by this place last night, and it did not disappoint! Had the banana split ice cream flavors churro, banana pudding, and cake batter 🤌🏽

They have the absolute best ice cream and pup pops for the doggies as well!

I don’t normally make reviews but one specific kid working earlier named Kaulen was being extraordinarily rude and in a sense cocky. He made constant remarks to a female customer and just being rude to her after a little she told him to quit being disrespectful he turned to another customer and i quote said “girls, am i right”. This was my first time visiting Orlando and have had a great experience up until this point. Young men shouldn’t be harassing girls period but very much less while they are at work talking to a customer. The ice cream itself was decent but that little encounter there has tarnished this place for me.

Everything there is absolutely awesome
-
Non-dairy cookies and cream....so so good
-
Good ice cream! Only had one dairy free variety and one sorbet. Hoping they do more dairy free ❤️ my daughter is in a wheelchair and was difficult to get to the seating area outside due to the curb that had a lip and the mulch/gravel. Would love a small ramp so we can enjoy eat outside a little easier.

I had a really bad experience at this ice cream place. The service was terrible from the start. The employee took a long time to even acknowledge me because she was busy talking on her phone, and when she finally did, she had a very rude attitude. On top of that, I didn’t even get exactly what I ordered, which was frustrating. I was told she’s a senior student who works there, but honestly, that’s no excuse for being so disrespectful. The place itself was also not clean there were flies around, and the bathroom was dirty. Overall, very poor service and an unpleasant environment. I do not recommend this place at all. Definitely my last time coming here.
-
The personal there it’s awful, since the moment we came in the girl it’s a student with blonde short hair, she was with bad attitude and in some way acting xenophobic. Besides the ice cream are not that good and really expensive 45 dollars for 5 ice creams. The place outside was full with flies that won't let you sit in peace. Overall the place definitely leaves a lot to be desired.
-
there’s bug on the ice cream and the personal is really bad and also there’s a lot of bugs in this place
-
The ice cream was very good. Interesting flavors including no sugar added and non dairy. I appreciate the alternatives.
-
Amazing ice cream good amazing service can turn ice cream into milkshake
