16 Best Ice Cream Shops in Bradenton

“Been here a few times now and loved it every time. The employees are great! There's one we usually see and I wish I knew their name, but they always seem very genuine and present in the conversation and I appreciate that. Also, they all make great gelati creations. I hope they all get more money bc they deserve it.“

“WICKED Huge ice cream!!! 🍨🍦 Crazy!!! Haha! I was told the owners are from New Hampshire! Hello from Cape Cod Massachusetts!! Love the name and super cute!!! Not to mention the portions are wildly HUGE! Like too big haha! Never thought I'd say that! We will be back! The paintings and atmosphere are Wicked cute! Open some more spots!! Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Today was our first visit at Ritas. I want to say our ice cream was delicious. We got one cookies and cream shake, one vanilla shake, and a mint custard. I was really impressed to see they made the shakes by hand (with milk, syrup, etc). This is the only place I know of that sells a mint custard!

The only thing I would recommend for the owner is places to sit. When you think about going to an ice cream shop, you think about going and sitting down to enjoy it.. not bringing it back to your car. There’s one bench outside but it was taken. Other than that, great ice cream ?“

“From the moment you walk in, the positive vibes are palpable. To walking up to the counter and having the friendliest of staff greet you. To getting your rainbow cone and just having to smile because of the flavor and the nostalgia of eating an ice cream cone. Great atmosphere. Great Service. Great food!!!!“

“Best in the city❤️“

“I’ve seen this place many times while on the way to the beach. Decided finally to check it out. The cheeseburger was a 10/10. The chicken fingers were 10/10. The fries were 10/10. The Mozzarella sticks were 7/10. The peach shake my wife ordered was a disappointing 3/10. The chocolate shake I ordered was a 7/10.

I’m a little shocked the shakes weren’t better when they are the namesake. The food was super good though.“

“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“

“Blizzards were 🔥 well worth the price. Everyone loved!“

“I love this sweet little place, and my nephews do too. The owner and staff is so kind, and the ice cream is rich & incredible. We got a sugar cone with cookies & cream and cake cones with rainbow respectively. It's a great spot to get some AC and old-fashioned, not price-gauging ice cream!! There's a nice drink fridge too. Highly recommend!It's right next door to Orange Blossom Cafe if you're looking to grab coffee & ice cream all at once! One of the best little corners in Bradenton.“

“Wonderful excellent place ? delicious and natural juices carrot, beet celery, orange, and what can we say about the vegetables freshly cut fresh fruit and above all they have an area for each preparation excellent the treatment I have been attending the place for 3 years I recommend it 100%% %“

“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.“

“I will and do literally drive from Ft Myers just to eat here. Something about the burgers and the fry seasoned shoestring fries..delicious!! P.S they use long sliced pickles which makes the burgers even better!!“

“The place is clean and orderly. The management seems to really care for his employees and it shows when the handle the customer. The food is not regular fast food, rather it is cooked to order so it comes to the table hot and tasty. I highly recommend their burgers and their fish platters.“

“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!!“

“Stopped in to get a milkshake. This is a little tucked away shop in front of a boat marina. Not much of a place,but the shakes were good. They have about a dozen different flavors. They do have a small outdoor porch to sit enjoy your shake, smoothie, or ice cream. If you like quaint little shops, check this place out.“

“Renee is such an asset to DQ! She is so friendly and fun! She was so patient helping me use the app for the first time! Great food and service!“
