Happy National Ice Cream Day, Villagers! With the heat index soaring and back-to-back heat advisories in The Villages and surrounding areas, there’s never been a better excuse to treat yourself to something cold, creamy, and utterly delicious.
Lucky for us, Mystic Ice Cream just opened their brand-new location in Oxford — and it couldn’t have come at a better time!
If you’re not familiar with Mystic Ice Cream, you’re in for a real treat. Check out my first experience from 2022. Known for their vibrant, funky vibe and creative flavors (including boozy options for the adults), Mystic has built a loyal following in Central Florida. We’re so lucky we can enjoy their one-of-a-kind ice creams without venturing too far from home.
Whether you’re craving a classic scoop or something spiked with a splash of your favorite liqueur, Mystic has something for everyone. Plus, the atmosphere is just as fun as the flavors — think retro décor, music, and a laid-back community vibe.



So why not make today a little sweeter? Grab your family, your neighbors, or your besties, and head over to Mystic Ice Cream to celebrate National Ice Cream Day the right way — with a cold treat in hand and a break from this brutal Florida heat.
And if you stop by, don’t forget to snap a pic and tag @VillagerEats on Facebook — we’d love to see which flavor you tried!
Mystic Ice Cream now has four locations in our area: NEW – 3941 Co Rd 201 (right behind Gio’s Deli off 301), Oxford; 1217 W. Miller Blvd., Fruitland Park; 314 W. Main St., Leesburg; and 16770 South Hwy 441, Summerfield. Hours at all four stores are Sunday – Saturday 1:00pm – 9:00pm. And they can bring their delectable treats to your event in their tie-dyed food truck – check their website for the Magical Mystic Ice Cream Truck schedule.
Stay cool, friends — and happy scooping!
