26 Best Ice Cream Shops near Holmes Beach

“Best ice cream I’ve had in or outside the UK!“

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

“My daughter has a dairy allergy and finding ice cream shops that serve dairy free ice cream (other than fruity sorbets) is difficult. I’m so grateful this location has a dairy free option for her (DF cookies and cream). We’ve been here twice so far this week, and the gentleman who served us was beyond kind, even when we showed up 5 minutes before closing time.“

“We had a great experience. We stopped in on Thursday prior to thier BIG opening event they mentioned . Ended up getting a shake every night as a treat while on vacation . Lol Real ice cream with crafted chocolates . So good ! Favorites Raspberry Cream , Banana Foster , Chocolate dipped strawberry!“

“This spot is sooo cute, and in such a convenient area to get a little refreshing sumn-sumn after the beach! Their watermelon sorbet was amazing! I had it with the mint chip bc I had to try both, and would highly recommend them (individually, and otherwise ;)“

“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.“

“We love Jeremiah’s! The best place in town for ice cream and water ice, and their Jelati’s are awesome. Friendly service, tons of flavors, and we’ve never had to wait long even when there’s a line. I had an issue redeeming a reward on the app, and the owner Jake and his staff went above and beyond to resolve it. Highly recommend!“

“get the stuffed snowball, you won't believe it's shaved ice...“

“Excellent food & service“

“We absolutely LOVE this little ice cream shop on Pine Avenue out on Anna Maria Island!

Not only is the ice cream amazing, but the employees are hands-down some of the sweetest, friendliest people you’ll ever meet. They always greet you with a smile, are so patient (even with big family orders), and genuinely make every visit feel special.

And let’s talk about my all-time favorite flavor — Exhausted Parent. It is SO good and honestly the perfect name because it feels like a well-deserved treat after a long day. It’s rich, delicious, and totally worth every bite.

If you’re visiting AMI, this place is a must-stop. Great ice cream, wonderful staff, and the perfect Pine Ave vibe. Our favorite ❤️“

“Delicious ice cream! Staff is always friendly“

“Best in the city❤️“

“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 ❤️“

“Hot dogs and pork nachos were just what we needed and the italian ice was even better! banana pudding, AMI sunset and choclate peanut butter! try them all!“

“Augie Conde and I stopped at THE CITRUS PLACE on our trip home from St Petersburg last week. It's a really cool old school Florida souvenir shop and citrus market. It's located on route 301 just off of the first exit from the southbound side of the Sunshine Skyway bridge. It's owned by Trish and Carole. They were so kind and generous sharing some wonderful items and memories with us. We bought some vintage Florida souvenirs and some old citrus packing bags. We also bought tropical citrus jelly and marmalade. We'll be bringing the vintage items to the next FLORIDIANA FEST that will be held February 20-21 at the Sarasota Fairgrounds Potter Building. We're looking forward to seeing you there ! We'll definitely be back soon !“

“Great costumer service 🙂“

“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!“

“The best service and food around. They were so kind to my wife and I when we were a dollar short paying for our meal. Came here because it was my great uncle's favorite place for a nostalgic burger and shake. Will come back when we visit again!“

“I can into cold stone for the first time earlier today about 20 minutes before they closed and I felt so bad but the workers were extremely patient with me and help me a lot with all the options they had, they had an amazing attitude for how busy it was and had great conversations. I had an amazing experience for my first time and I will be coming back“

“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.“

“Great coffee. Very lovely Barista. An all around pleasant experience.“

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

“Stopped in for the first time and not only was the candy apple one of the best I’ve ever had, but the gentleman who helped us was great! He said it was only his 5th day on the job but you’d never know it, super helpful, friendly and a great experience“

“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.“

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

“When I get off of work most places in the area aren't open because it's almost midnight, I'm able to drive over here in about 10 minutes or so, good food and reasonably priced... If only all other franchises like this were open a little later. Definitely recommend this place.“
