“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.

“As the Social Media Specialist at Hale Law, I had the opportunity to work with Crepetopia on a social media collaboration for our office, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! Their location is super aesthetic, the staff was friendly and professional, and they were a great collaborator throughout the entire process. We ordered a variety of their chocolate-themed mini crepe bites (Oreo, S’mores, Strawberry Nutella, M&M, Banana Nutella, and Triple Chocolate), and they had everything ready so fast. We brought the treats back to the Hale Law office for our team to try, and the whole office absolutely loved them! The bites were fresh, delicious, and such a fun dessert option. Highly recommend Crepetopia if you’re looking for a great local dessert spot and an awesome place to work with!“

“Great ice cream, but make sure if you are eating your ice cream outside in the heat of summer you ask for a bigger cup. The single cup is very small and they fill it to the max, which is great, but it also means when it starts to melt the ice cream starts spilling out the sides and there is no stopping it. I'm a grown adult with many years of experience eating ice cream and I looked like a toddler with ice cream running down my hand and arm. Ask for a single scoop in a 2 scoop cup.“

“Solid, little ice cream shop...

Stopped in for ice cream as that's what we wanted after our dinner before the Super Bowl. We had been at one of these over on the Siesta Key side of the bridge and knew it would be at least as good - and it was.

A nice varied choice for ice cream, the server was friendly and patient with us, and she did a great job serving up nice, big scoops. The ice cream itself was creamy, sweet, and if I could have gone back for more, I would have. This little franchise has got it going well...“

“We had a great experience at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream!

Yes, there was a long line when we arrived, but the staff moved quickly and efficiently — it never felt like we were waiting too long, which was impressive given how busy it was.

My kids absolutely loved the ice cream. Every flavor they tried was a hit, and you could tell the quality was there. The shop itself was really cute and well-decorated, which added to the overall experience.

The only downside was that it did get a bit overstimulating inside due to how busy it was — the sound tends to bounce around the space — and seating was somewhat limited. But to be fair, it was peak busy time, so that’s understandable.

Pricing felt fair for what you’re getting. I purchased five ice creams for around $50, which felt reasonable given the quality and portion sizes.

The only thing I wish is that I could have enjoyed it myself — everything smelled amazing — but I don’t eat sugar, so I had to sit this one out.

Overall, a fun spot with great ice cream and efficient service. We’d definitely come back for the kids!“

The food was hot and the draft beer was cold. My meal with a draft cost $16. And change (not including tip).“
