“Tyler’s is awesome 🍦🍨 Highly recommend!“

“The best ice cream in Florida! Generous portions, friendly staff and a wonderful location. You can sit inside or outside, both are fun. Can't wait to go back, yummy!!!“

“I submitted a review through Google, but I will include it here as well. I cannot recommend this shop enough. First time coming was in early Summertime. Came in with friends, craving some ice cream. Not only did this place deliver, I have come back time and time again since receiving the same incredible service and atmosphere Ryan and his team brings. The rotating flavors are a wonderful dream of variety. If anyone is ever looking for a place for that sweet tooth, or a beautiful way to end your Downtown venture, achieve Great Heights. You will leave soaring through Great Heights.“

“The best gelato this side of Italy 😍“

“The best gelato place in this area, let alone Florida! Please open a location in LWR ❤️“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Busy busy busy, day 1 they were out of waffle cones, day 2 they said sorry we're not offering samples at the moment. And the place smells like bug repellent. The icecream is yummy though. Best tasting ice cream. The staff need to get trained for better customer service.“

“The best Ice Cream on the island! Seriously, we tried them all, and kept coming back to AMI Beach Hut. There are so many flavors, toppings, and a quite little area to hang out in. Mike is also such a kind soul- and his ability to scoop ice cream so fast is impressive.
On a busy Saturday night, they were supposed to close at 10pm, and there was still a massive line. I asked Mike if he was going to close it down- and he said “and ruin their smiles!? No way”. It was super thoughtful.
We will be back!“

“My family and I spent the afternoon at this pleasant ice cream shop. In addition to the excellent quality of the ice cream, the service was fantastic, including the pets. This filled me with joy.“

“The ice cream is fabulous and the waffle cones are made fresh daily. Chocolate peanut butter was rich and creamy. Mint chocolate chip was very minty and the sea salt Carmel had just the right amount of Carmel & salt very creamy. Very clean, no line with a water cooler to gab a sip if you need it.“

“This is the best ice cream on the island bar none! Have been coming to it for over 30 years including the old location. The owner is top notch. Enjoyed chatting with him just ahead of the fourth over some of his award winning ice cream. My go to spot on the island.“

“Great staff & ice cream! My family and I go to Anna Maria for vacation and this is definitely a stop we make multiple times each trip! Thank you for a great time!“

“Absolutely recommend. We make a trip up to Siesta key every year and HAVE to stop here. Workers are the sweetest and they always have the best service and sweets. 100% make a stop here on your trip!!!“

“Best in the city❤️“

“Excellent food & service“

“Delicious ice cream! Staff is always friendly“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“🇩🇪 Wundervoller Besuch – absolut empfehlenswert! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🇭🇺 Wir waren gestern in diesem liebevoll geführten Laden und sind rundum begeistert! Der Baumkuchen war ein Traum – frisch, saftig und mit viel Liebe gemacht. Dazu ein hervorragender Kaffee, der das Genusserlebnis perfekt abgerundet hat. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die unglaublich freundliche Eigentümerin, mit der wir ein sehr nettes Gespräch führen durften. Man spürt sofort, mit wie viel Herzblut sie ihr Geschäft führt. Auch der Service war aufmerksam und herzlich – man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Das Geschäft selbst ist sehr sauber und gepflegt, mit einer warmen Atmosphäre, in der man gerne verweilt. Wir kommen definitiv wieder – ein echter Geheimtipp!“

“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!“

“Homemade popsicles and donuts“

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

“My daughter and her friends come here. She finally convinced me to come. We got the Dubai Chocolate and it’s soooo good! They have a lot of unique drinks and candies. Truffles galore, chocolate covered bacon, fudge and ice cream!!! Cute little shop“

“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 were looking for somewhere to grab a quick lunch before visiting Mote Aquarium. We wanted somewhere quick and convenient and you can get much more convenient thank the Deep Sea Diner. I had a Nathan’s hotdog, my hubby a burger and my granddaughter had a grilled cheese, all included fries. The servings were more than we could eat. They, also, serve ice cream and shakes. It’s a great, convenient place for lunch or a snack while visiting the aquarium.“

“Too many yummy things to pick“

“Such a cool place!!! The employee that served us was amazing, super friendly and helpful since it was our first time here. The desserts were delicious. I can’t explain the texture, it’s like nothing else I’ve ever tried. It’s not like traditional shaved ice. It’s cold but creamy and light. Melts in your mouth. Definitely a must try!“

“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“

“duros preparados con extra aguacate son sabrosos“

“Best ice cream on Siesta!“

“I LOVE ❤️ the donkey!“
