Ice Cream Shops near Saint Petersburg Beach

“Really appreciated the kind young woman who suggested I try the flavor I ordered first! I was able to select a different flavor which was more to my mood at the moment. They honored our Team Mobile gift card and check out was easy and smooth. My first visit in 15 years to a Baskin Robbins and it brought lots of good memories back. Best of all my orange sherbet was only 130 calories so I stayed on my diet just fine! PS great location across the street from our hotel.“

“Wonderful service and great ice cream!Offers vegan flavors (dairy free) and was proactive about gluten being in one of the flavors even though it was not requested. Very thoughtful!! Cute paint job, gum ball machines and sprinkles on the ceiling.“

“My husband and I frequent this place about 2-3 times a week, we absolutely love it! Parking is easy, the ice cream is incredible (they always have a flavor of the month that is new and exciting) and the staff is friendly and helpful. The past few times we have had Owen as our server and he is very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to picking the best things on the menu! Definitely give it a try you won’t regret it!Dietary restrictions: They have options for nut allergies etc.Parking: In a plaza so plenty of free parkingWheelchair accessibility: Easy access and plenty of room to sit“

“Cecelia’s Sweets and Vampire Penguin is a family owned and operated desert and snack store located just off of Central Avenue in St. Petersburg with another Vampire Penguin location in Seminole, Florida. Their award winning shaved snow is unlike anything we’ve ever had before and we were already fans of the Vampire Penguin in Seminole before we tried their downtown St. Pete location!We were greeted by a very sweet young lady as well as Cecelia’s daughter and we’re excited to find that this location offered some additional items like house-made freeze dried candy, gourmet popcorn, cookies, delicious premium ice cream in a cup, cone or waffle cone, soft drinks, floats, warm pretzels, and even non-dairy and low sugar options on their small sized snow desserts! The restaurant is super cute with bright decor, friendly service, bar style seating and even a water bowl for your fur kids just outside the door! They have a cute Instagramable wall and the bathroom was well kept and clean.We ordered a warm salted Pretzel with their honey mustard dip which was delicious! I ordered the Blueberry Cheesecake ice cream in a cone and my husband ordered the stunning Polar Affogato - Coffee and Vanilla flavored snow, surrounded by Chocolate Brownie chunks, drizzled in Chocolate sauce and topped with fresh Whipped Cream dusted with Coco Powder. It was mind blowing!We will 100% be returning to Cecilia’s for the wonderful treats and fabulous customer service! Next time, I hope to bring my fur kid for their Bow Wow Wow canine friendly snow made of fruit snow and drizzled with Peanut Butter sauce.“

“i ordered on uber eats for a little birthday treat and asked for as much strawberry topping as they’re allowed to give me, and my cheesecake was upgraded to fully strawberry and happy birthday was written on my bag. so much love to kaden, this absolutely made my night and i will now be ordering from here much more often!?“

“Like this place much better than the Twistee Treat before it. Got a sundae and it was huge! The kids enjoyed their cookie monster ice cream too even though it was a huge mess of blue to clean up! Just know that a small cup is way too big for a toddler. They have big portions here! Cute atmosphere and nice touch adding corn hole for families to play. A little pricey for some things, but they more than make up for it with quality and serving size! Great addition to the area!“

“Great Coffee & Very Clean Bistro! I am in the middle of a move and home renovations and needed some good Coffee as I can't get to my coffee maker at the moment...LOL! I was greeted with a smile when I walked in the door and amazing energy. Sammy was so accommodating and the coffee was so good. The first thing I look for in a business especially where food is involved is cleanliness. This place is immaculate and so organized. This will be my new coffee stop for sure! Thank you for a great experience.“

“We LOVE Chiki Churros! We come in frequently but order from Uber eats even more! Our favorite place to get Churros, Ice Cream Sundaes, and Milkshakes! Best service, best ingredients, and BEST TASTE! The price for the amount is the best you’ll get in St. Pete with a quality that is worth MORE. Love, love, love ??“

“Good spot for a variety of incredible ice cream flavors and popsicles. Some of the flavors tasted artificial or way too strong in certain spice/flavoring. No ice cream scoop love though, kept to the size.Key Lime Popsicle: deliciousNutella Ice Cream: GreatMidnight Chocolate Ice Cream: PerfectBanana Pudding Ice Cream: Artificial banana tastingChai Ice Cream: Gross, 50x too much chai flavoringTriple Vanilla Ice Cream: Good vanilla“

“Stumbled onto this place while in St. Pete area for first time a couple weeks ago while spending a few hours in Gulfport. Ice cream was so good and the flavor choices are top notch. If this place existed where I call home, I'd be 20 lbs. heavier and poor because I'd be going here daily. Will definitely try again next time I'm in that area.“

“Went 15 minutes before closing. The owner Ruth happily welcomed us and let us enjoy our ice cream in her shop even though it was after closing time. The ice cream was amazing! The shop was clean and cute. Everything was perfect. Service was great.“

“I’ve been to Bright Ice several times, and I’ve loved it each and every time! The staff lets you have samples of any flavor of their ice cream. I joke around with my wife, my family, and my friends, that this is the best ice cream shop in the world. In all seriousness, it probably is the best ice cream shop in St Pete.Parking: Parking lot is to the side of the shop.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome. It has a family friendly atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs to climb in order to go from the parking lot to the shop.“

“Love this place!! We go back every year that we’re in the area for spring break. Our whole family looks forward to it. Best ice cream in the country! (And we’ve tried A LOT) Excellent service too, the owner of frequently there scooping.“

“I live in Palm Harbor, but I'm vacationing out here for the week and had to check this place out. I wasn't disappointed. The staff looked young which can be a hit or a miss, but it was defiantly a hit. They were super helpful, nice, and made you want to come back. The place is a blast from the past candy wise and the ice cream is custom and very very good for a decent price. If you love ice cream, candy, or just want a blast from the past then check this place out. Trust me you'll be a repeat customer like I plan to be.“

“We took a stroll in Gulfport lastnight to get some icecream. It was my first time and as soon as I walked in, it felt our vibe at home. I love that they cut back on plastics and have these cut metal spoons for sampling. The toffee coconut and tumeric cbd icecream was AMAZING!!!! We are both lactose intolerant so we fully enjoyed this treat“

“Spontaneously stopped here while walking downtown to check out what this place was all about. I met the owner, Jen, who was more than helpful in explaining her creations! The concept of any cereals of your choice mixed into ice cream is fun for adults and kids alike! Her personal favorite and recommendation of cookie butter ice cream with golden grahams and apple jacks, topped with butterscotch was 10/10!“

“This is a second location in the area. This location is a bit smaller, but has all the goodies you'll need while on vacation. I only stopped by here once since we were staying nearer to the other location, but we liked the first one so much we had to check this one out as well. So come try this place out and if you like it be sure to check out the other location just north as well. Both will be a great experience. They have great ice cream choices I got the the salt water taffy as well, but they have all kinds of candy from every decade going way back. I love this place. I can't wait to come back for more.“

“*UPDATE: I've gone here since this place opened and I have been through numerous owners of addicted to the bean. The product is still very good and their coffee is just great, however their service just is not good anymore. It is spring break here, and they have two espresso machines in there but the second one is not being used and they just cannot handle the volume. Today I had to leave because I just simply didn't have any more time to wait.This has happened to me a number of times lately, so I believe my addicted to the bean days are over. Sad to say.One of my favorite places to go. The product is great and the people are awesome.“

“I ordered from Uber when I was looking for desserts and I will say it was the best treat I’ve had in a very long time. I ordered the watermelon Italian ice and the mint chocolate chip ice cream and they were both excellent tasting. The ice cream was smooth and not overly sweet. I would say it was just right. Also, I am lactose intolerant and need lactaids when eating ice cream. I took 2 and would normally still be in discomfort.. therefore, ice cream rarely comes into my home. This ice cream did not cause me any discomfort. I am definitely pleasantly surprised. The Italian ice had a consistency that I’ve never had before. It was flavorful and didn’t turn into a liquid immediately. I had to look the address up because I will definitely be frequenting this dessert shop now that I have found it.“

“A nice cozy spot to go to with the kids or Partner. The ice cream is your basic tub ice cream but you definitely enjoy the atmosphere and the service. We love going here.Vegetarian options: Vegan ice cream options.Kid-friendliness: Kids scoops“

“Gelato was delicious, very creamy and spot on with the flavours.They allow sampling so it was good for my wife and kids to try different ones before choosing.The ordering line is spacious with more room than other places.There is a lot of seating area out on the patio so we could enjoy the nice weather.“

“We had Happy’s as a vendor for our wedding and it was literally perfect. One of the most friendly vendor that we worked with. We had another vendor set up for dessert but the business had sold without our knowledge till shortly before our big day. Happy’s team was very quick to respond and step into place. Also - the ice cream was 10/10 and was enjoyed by everyone! I can’t wait to travel back into town and grab some ice cream to re live a small moment of our day.“

“We were a family of 6 visiting the area and stopped by this cute little ice cream shop. The two individuals that worked this evening were very kind and patient as we placed our orders. Multitude flavors available. ? ?Their orange ? coconut cake ? ? (I believe that's what it was called) was so delicious. I got a sample and it was a unique and tasteful treat. Took a cup to go to enjoy later.I had butter pecan pineapple ? with a sugar cone. ?Our family enjoyed waffle bowls with sprinkle vanilla cake (I believe it was called), waffle cone with double chocolate, cookies and cream in a medium size cup.We sat inside the ice cream shop. It was a relaxed atmosphere and very clean.Thank you for your friendly service ?❤️ ?“

“Small and cute with amazing flavors. The scooper was welcoming and helpful with samples. The smell of the waffle cones was amazing. We had Christmas cookie and Peppermint ice cream and it was Devine. We will be back to try some more flavors!“

“Nice, looks l8ke a traditional stop for seasonals. There doesn't seem to be anything special about the ice cream or extras, but the limited menu is well organized and with a good enough selection that anyone will certainly love something and most people will have some difficulty choosing. We can witness in favor of the chocolate malt (yes, it's really malted) and heavenly hash, but now I'm thinking I should have gone for the banana split cup. See what I mean?“

“The ice cream is so good and thickkk. There are so many flavors and you can sample them. They also have different options, sizes, etc. I love the atmosphere. It felt like you walked back into time a bit. The staff were also very friendly. I got the monster cookie ice cream.... i kinda want it by pint. :)“

“I ordered the strawberry cheesecake deluxe with ice cream inside. I didn’t know what to expect with it being shaved ice. When I tell it was a true delight and the portion size is well worth it. Can’t forget to shout out Jessica, she was very pleasant and helpful with any questions I had about the menu. I would highly recommend ppl to stop by. Your tastebuds will thank you later.“

“Was on my honeymoon first weekend/week of March in Madeira Beach and was SO EXCITED to see that there was a Kilwins within walking distance of our condo we were staying at. I have been enjoying Superman ice cream since I was a kid and I'm 36. It tastes like nostalgia to me! I told the wonderful human (sorry I didn't get their name - they said their parents were the owner) at the counter how much enjoying this simple treat on my honeymoon meant to me and they said that today, my new husband and my cones would be their treat today! I would gladly give money for Kilwins ice cream as it is always tasty, but this "small" gesture went a long way with these newlyweds! We will be back next time we are in Madeira Beach!“

“COOKIES!!!! Big and Delicious! Unique flavors and something for everyone. If you Love cookies adult or child and want that sophisticated cookie you can serve your friends or just yummy comfort chocolate chip melt in your mouth , Crumbl is where you will find them!“

“My kids and I stopped by this place for some ice cream. It’s a nice little place with friendly and professional staff. The kids and I got some vanilla ice cream with Oreos or pecans. I have to say it was great. Even better that it was no sugar/carbs, that was a big plus for me. Highly recommend!“

“I was in the area for work and needed to grab something quick around where I was at, and this place came up and was very highly rated, and I was very impressed. Everything was freshly made using organic ingredients. I'd definitely come back.“

“They have the best Sugar Cream Ice Cream I've ever had in my life! I'd trade a good date for a gallon of this ice cream. It's that good! I'm from Ohio and make sure to visit several times when here on vacation.Parking: You pull up right to the shop in a strip mall“

“The rolled ice cream is delicious..with so many flavors to choose from. Staff is friendly and welcoming. We stop by on our way home from the beach ⛱️. Pricey but worth it!Parking: It's a shared strip parking area, so it all depends on when you go.“

“Excellent taffy with a wide variety of flavors. I had an excellent experience at both this Zeno’s and the one in Daytona Beach.Rachel, the candy clerk, was very kind and patient in helping our family of nine as we picked flavors. She even helped us to estimate and weigh our purchase, so that we knew how much was four pounds of candy. Rachel, the taffy, and the store were all wonderful for us. Thank you and see you next time we’re in town!“

“One of the best burgers I’ve had. The staff were friendly and the burgers are delicious. My friends and I had the BCB (double patty bacon cheeseburger) it’s so good! I hope that this restaurant becomes a chain, but until then, it’s worth the trip to St Pete. We’ll definitely be going back.“

“Our family loves this place & has been several times during our stay ! I was excited to learn that they have a couple vegan ice cream options since I cannot do a lot of dairy . :) They also have candy, drinks, art & T-shirts. Super convenient being right next to beach - Highly recommend !!“

“I just discovered Yogurtology yesterday while ordering dinner on Uber it was an add on feature and I said let’s try it , boy am I glad we did !!It was so refreshing and delicious, light and airy yet amazing !! Had only gotten vanilla with rainbow sprinkles and it was fantastic, next time I will branch out and try more things but I did t have experience yet !The large is huge ! So keep this in mindPlace is awesome can’t wait to try again !I“

“My friends and I went to have dinner at a restaurant in John's Pass and wanted dessert after so decided to stop at this cute ice cream shop. They have a lot of flavors so you'll have a hard time picking one. After trying a lot of different flavors I decided to order the key lime pie and it was exquisite! The employee was super nice and gave me a lot of samples cuz I wasn't sure what I wanted. Everything sounded delicious! I definitely recommend this ice cream shop to anyone visiting John's Pass. Just be aware, portions are huge. I ordered a simple and it was double scoop!“

“Following an afternoon at St. Pete Beach, we wandered into Beachzone Ice Cream for a couple of overpriced cups of shaved ice. Our sugary snacks were quite refreshing, super sweet, and just what the doctor ordered, but Cherry Wonderdog would be doing a disservice to canine followers everywhere if the facts weren’t presented accurately. Beachzone charges in accordance with the location and captive audience. The Italian ice here is delicious, but don’t expect good value!“

“Stopped in today for a sweet treat before the beach and this place was fantastic! Both my gals had the "Cookie Monster" and it was a nice touch that it was blue. My husband had strawberry and I had Twix ice cream. Twix happens to be my favorite candy, so it was fun finding in for a flavor of ice cream. Excellent service; definitely will stop back.“

“Came here with my girlfriend on Easter Sunday at around 8 o’clock. Busier than my cousins quinceañera (very god damn busy good luck finding parking). When the line finally squeezed past the Michiganians, Canadians, and, the cheese lovers we entered a store that smelled of sunscreen and sweets with too much to look at. Not just ice cream every form of sweet diabetic disease dessert you can imagine. I’m talking crepes, donuts, popcorn, cookies, chocolates, hotdogs???(why?), and more. We paid about 20 dollars for 2 icrecreams and the best rice krispy treat I ever devoured. Ice cream was amazing and me and my girlfriend were politely entertained by this terrible snowbird driver who hit a parked car (almost hit our car yikes) Overall, good place, very packed, bring your insulin.“

“My mom and I come here every Sunday evening. We used to always bring my dog and the 3 of us would get cones every Sunday..Every time, Amaya(sorry if I spelled that wrong) makes it a point to come say “hi” and she always ensures everything is perfect. She even commented the first time we came after my dog died and noticed we were only ordering 2 cones…Her incredibly friendly demeanor and exceptional customer service are something you don’t see that often.You don’t find people in customer service like Amaya every day, and I hope her employers/franchise owners have taken notice..“

“UPDATE 2/12/2024 : I usually use the drive thru for a medium dipped in chocolate, or once and a while, a DQ Blizzard. Tonight, it is a little rainy and cooler, but I wanted some ice cream.I got a banana split. Have not had one in years. I went inside to order it. Natalie served me and provided me with great customer service. My Banana Split was out in a short timeIt was very good. I sat at a table, the tables were clean and well kept. The floors were clean. I saw no issues. Good Job! to the crew. Tell Diane "Hi" for me. Always great service when I stop by. Be back soon“

“Shoutout to the amazing worker this afternoon at the Clearwater Beach north beach location - purple haze is not on the menu, and I was able to get a great to go container (that have just become available) for my mom. My parents were elated and surprised. I hope Management keeps those to go containers!!!!“

“Five stars for exceptional service!This past Sunday, I had a delightful experience thanks to a wonderful salesperson selling chocolate. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the different chocolates available, patiently answering my questions and offering recommendations. Her friendly and polite demeanor made the whole interaction a pleasure. Her efficiency in processing my purchase was the icing on the cake (or should I say, the chocolate on the truffle?). Thanks to her, what could have been a simple purchase turned into a truly positive experience. I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking for delicious chocolate and fantastic customer service!“

“One of 3 ice cream places within a stone's throw. Twistee Treat can't be missed since the building is a literal ice cream cone. Parking is the side of the building and butts up against a neighborhood. There are two service windows. Seating outside with a decent amount of tables/chairs and benches. Menu wise there is a variety - all the ice cream fixings including a ton of different flavors. They also had Italian ice and some limited food options like hot dogs and nachos. Service was friendly and quick. Happy with our ice creams - I got a waffle cone with sprinkles and it hit the spot.“

“Mammamia is very clean and inviting! You are salivating before you even enter the shop! It took my grandson a long time to choose his flavor, while they patiently gave him spoon after spoon to test taste! He was very satisfied with his choice. My husband also enjoyed a great cone and I had a lovely cappuccino.I couldn't believe the variety of things they had from crepes and waffles freshly made and handmade candies to waffles a variety of teas and coffees! AThere's also a nice place to sit and enjoy what you have ordered. It's in a great neighborhood and oarking was jit a problem on a Saturday afternoon. I highly recommend this place!“

“We were in the area for spring training baseball and came to John’s Pass on the recommendation of a local friend. We had just finished eating dinner on the dock at Caddy’s and came looking for ice cream… and this place did not disappoint! We love supporting local and independent ice cream places like this especially when the product is so good. I got a waffle cone with Captain Butterscotch and my wife got one of their chocolate ice creams - both were very good. And it’s just fun to eat ice cream on the boardwalk! Definitely recommend!“

“Covers is one of the few places that you know for a fact you'll always get freshly prepared food. Everything is always hot and your orders are always right. I ordered the pretzel bites They were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and the cheese sauce was amazing nothing tasted microwaved or reheated.“

“I didn’t know walking into it, it was a mini Kelly’s Ice cream. The ice cream is a small part of Fox Tail Coffee. Nonetheless it was very flavorful. They have good options. Id love to see them in a big location with the large selection of ice creams they offer at their other stores. The ice cream tasted fresh and soft.“
