“Such a fun and delicious spot on Anna Maria Island! The ice cream was rich, creamy, and loaded with flavor we couldn’t stop smiling with every bite. They have so many great options, and the portions are very generous. The atmosphere is just as sweet, with the colorful lights and beach-town vibe making it extra special. Perfect place to end the night with a treat. Definitely five stars!“

“Josh from Rod and Reel recommended Two Scoops to me and my friends. Such a great recommendation!!! Sweet young ladies indulged us with samples and allowed us time to pick the most delicious ice cream ever. I had chocolate with chocolate covered nuts and bits of fudge and a 2nd scoop of salted caramel with pretzel pieces. Yummm! I hope the beautiful young lady that helped me goes to Rod and Reel to meet Josh! Tell him the old ladies sent you ❤️“

“We absolutely love this place! Delicious ice cream and lava cake!“

“I had chocolate peanut butter cup. My dogs had sundaes taken to them. Vanilla ice cream with a milk bone on top. Best of all it was delicious and not over the top expensive.“

“I forgot to make it 5 star in my review! Love Holy Cow and Melinda!!!“

“Exceptional Ice Cream Shop with Outstanding Service! This ice cream shop goes above and beyond in every way! The service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The staff made sure every customer felt welcome, offering samples with a smile and patiently answering questions about flavors. Their hospitality truly elevated the experience. As for the ice cream? Freshly made, rich, and unbelievably delicious! You can taste the care in every scoop—creamy, perfectly balanced, and bursting with flavor. Whether you stick with a classic or try something bold, it’s hands-down the best ice cream I’ve ever had. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates top-tier service and unforgettable treats! 🍦✨ 10/10—will be back again and again!“

“Best gelato I’ve had in the US!
Pistachio flavor is unreal. The texture is right, not too sweet, perfectly creamy, no artificial aftertaste, a little salty.
The service was also very nice and quick, even though this place gets very busy. Everything was nice and clean. Prices are reasonable. Will be back!“

“Stopped in for a shake after a great day at the beach! I had a medium chocolate shake and my wife had a medium strawberry shake. They were very good! So thick and creamy! Friendly service! Clean out door eating area. Clean restrooms. Highly recommended!“

“We were immediately greeted by smiling staff and were patient while my daughter tried 3 flavors before deciding. Icecream is fantastic and a big thank you to Zachary for going above and Beyond when my daughter needed a lid to go, but the ice cream was in the car so he personally walked outside to find the right size for her, which was very nice“

“We are staying in Anna Maria and I wanted to get a nice ice cream cake for my husband’s birthday! I knew Baskin-Robbins was at the Dunkin place so I called on Friday hoping to get a cake for late Saturday or early Sunday. I was given the number for a different Baskin location and was told to ask for Theresa, the cake decorator. When I got Theresa on the phone and explained what I was looking for, she could not have been more helpful!! She was awaiting an ice cream delivery so she called me back later that day to give me the information I needed. I ended up ordering a chocolate cookie, Oreo fudge creation with chocolate ice cream. I told Theresa I wanted to get it at 7:15 AM on Sunday. She told me it would be there. She even called again on Saturday to confirm my choices. We got to Dunkin early and I honestly was BLOWN away that the cake was there !! It was so delicious that our entire “party” of 6 enjoyed it for two nights!! Theresa is an incredible asset to Baskin and does a GREAT job!!“

“Stopped in here after buying gelato next door and wish we had just come here. Customer service was great, thank you Jonathan. So many treats to choose from. A great selection of old fashioned candies, craft sodas, fudge, chocolates and more. We are locals but we were happy to play tourist and find this place. We will be back.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience! I was the graduation coordinator for a local homeschool support group. I asked local business for donations to be included in the graduates gift bags. Coco Joes went above and beyond with their donations, blessing all of our graduates!!! Such a fun and unique atmosphere with amazing food and desserts!! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique experience. We’ll definitely be coming back soon! I love supporting small businesses and this one is top notch!!“

“We used to enjoy Sweet Berries, dedpite habitually slow service. No more, after last night. We ordered soups & salads (most likely already prepared) to eat in, then sat & sat & sat while to-go orders were called - several of them had bern put in AFTER we had ordered. After half an hour my husband checked with them as to the status & was told it would be right up. More to-go orders were taken * filled, while we sat, waiting. We finally threw in the towel & demanded our money back & left. We won't ne back, and we will no longer recommend Sweet Berries to others.“

“Was the best burger (mushroom and Swiss) that I've had in a very long time. It was also the best banana shake that I ever had! It's a bit pricey, but all fast food is these days and I'd rather pay an extra few dollars on something that's worth it than drop $20+ on something that's not and that I cannot even finish! Thank you Culvers!“
