I was driving the area and stumbled upon the absolute most adorable ice cream and snack spot!In a sea of tree lined streets filled with beautiful homes sits Oakland General, owned by the same owners as West Orange Creamery, right in front of the Healthy West Orange Arts and Heritage Center. If you have not visited Oakland, it's worth a visit. Bring your bikes, ride the streets, and end your visit with a treat from Oakland General. The architecture is a mix of Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Spanish Colonial, Victorian and other scattered styles. The entire area is pristinely manicured and you can even visit an herb garden right next to Oakland General. The shop had a variety of ice cream flavors, smoothies, ice pops, and even some savory options including grilled cheese and a breakfast sandwich. I really appreciated the amount of dairy free items they have. The staff were friendly and helpful when I couldn't decide between two options. We tried a Key Lime Coconut Ice pop and Mint Chip Ice Cream; both perfect on a hot day!This tiny spot is worth a visit, and Oakland is a beautiful town with classic American charm. Be sure to pass by the town hall and appreciate the brick lined roads!

We biked the West Orange Trail yesterday, and after 25 miles, we thought we deserved a reward, so we stopped at Oakland General for an ice cream cone. They're an extension of West Orange Creamery. I sampled the Super Berry Acai (made with oat milk), which tasted unique and creamy. But ultimately, I went with the Brownie Batter. There were a lot of big chunks of brownie batter inside. It tasted delicious and refreshing. I love that Oakland General is right there on the trail. You don't have to go into Downtown Winter Garden on Plant St with your bike. You can just make a pit stop on the way! The service was great, too. Can't wait to bike again!

We love Oakland General. The staff is amazing they are very kind and friendly. There are many options including healthy snacks. They have no sugar added ice cream and vegan ice cream. My favorite of all time is The Rum Cake. Go see this amazing staff and enjoy a snack on the trial!

Oakland General by West Orange Creamery has some amazing ice cream. What a beautiful and quiet location. We were quickly greeted by Natalia and Skylar who were both super friendly. It was nice being able to enjoy ice cream on a hot late afternoon while watching bicyclists and walkers on the trail. Definitely coming back for some more great ice cream.

We love running and riding bikes on the trail and this is the perfect location to stop for a quick treat! It gets our kids motivated to ride their bikes too. :) We love their ice cream and food!

This is a great little spot to grab a snack or some ice cream while traversing the West Orange Trail. Lots of variety in the options. Really hoping we see more stuff like this pop up in Oakland!

They were not ashamed to sell me couple visibly burnt pizzas (the pepperoni one was burnt to the point it was completely black) I didn't receive satisfactiory customer service . Don't recommend and will not be back while on the trail.
