“Came here for a quick ice cream fix before heading back home. So many unique and wonderful flavors as well as the tried and true ones (ores, cookie dough). The wall of retro candy had us all pointing out which ones we remembered having as kids. Plenty of ones like Big League chewing gum and Astropops as well as true oldies like Neco wafers and Sugar Daddy. Service from the young man behind the counter was top notch and he probably made the best banana splits we’ve ever had!Parking: We parked right infront of the shop and it was easy to get into and out of.Kid-friendliness: Bright and cheerful atmosphere for kids and adults alike. Lots of ice cream cases to tantalize everyone. A good place to bring the kids.“
“Love this place! We came here for our Marriage get together and it was awesome the fellowship was great and the ice cream is amazing. The customer service is great everyone was super welcoming and lovely ??? we came from Tampa to st Pete just to try the ice cream and it was great.“
“We’ve been wanting to try this place for a while now and decided to treat ourselves to Vampire Penguin in Seminole - we are so happy we did! Their menu is huge, with a wide variety of treats, there’s an option for everyone. We got the Thai Tea snow & the Strawberry Shortcake - both tasted so light and fluffy, and packed full of delicious, sweet flavor. It was SO GOOD!!!! They also offer non-dairy and gluten free options, and you can even build your own snow. This treat is super unique and so tasty, we can’t wait to be back! Service was great, too. ?“
“Had some "snow" (also known as bingsoo) after a show at Tropicana field. They had some great, creative flavors. Since it's handmade, you can expect to wait a little, especially if it's busy, but our stuff came out quickly and was delicious.“
“This place is amazing so many choices! it was my first time and the staff was very helpful, I normally go somewhat simple with ice cream so i go the brownie caramel in a cup dipped in white chocolate and I added biscoff cookies on top, it was delicious! I’ll be coming back for “

“AMAZING service and even better ice cream! We used Happy’s to cater our small event at our school. Setting everything up was so easy and they were SO accommodating and the delivery was amazing. Everyone loved the flavors (and especially the color changing spoons). Cannot recommend enough!“
“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!“
“The cutest little ice cream shoppe/cafe right on Indian Rocks Beach! Friendly service from everyone. The ice cream is great with average prices. We recently came to try their Tampa Cuban sandwich and it did but disappoint! There's is a nice variety of options for food available. This will probably be our new go-to spot to grab a sandwich before the beach. Can't wait to return!Kid-friendliness: Perfect place to bring kids for ice cream“
“We visited this shop last week for the first time and were very happy with our experience. The server at the counter was super helpful in telling us about the flavors, and letting us try samples. She was very nice and patient with our kids.Everything we tried was delicious! It was nice to have so many dairy free options. We will definitely make this our new go-to ice cream shop!“

“We were craving ice cream and Google maps showed us this place five minutes from the restaurant we had dinner at. It's been like 6 years since I last had sub zero so was really looking forward to it. They do offer vegan option which is cocunt base and I really appreciate that they have a separate list of all flavors and fixin's that are vegan. Small size is definetly enough as an after dinner snack. We both really enjoyed the ice cream, the vegan one was very creamy and silky. Delicious!It's a little pricy for an ice cream but every now and then it's worth getting. Girls working there were nice and the place was clean.“
“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.“

“Nice place for ice cream.The options are more curated than other chain places (strawberry with balsamic). So if you're looking for 31 flavors, you won't find it here.Word to the wise, the kid scoop seems like a normal scoop. The single is bigger than a baseball.Not much for toppings options either.They do have coffee and other baked goods there. You can also get shakes.“
“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.“
“This is the most welcoming hidden gem i have ever been to on any vacation. The man who was working all 3 times we have visited was an absolute delight!!! He seems to love what he is doing, and it radiates off him. We can only speak on the smoothies and ice cream, but they were both AMAZING!! a smidge pricey, but what am i to expect in a touristy area, with amazing items :) I read other reviews about the coffee being amazing as well, so I definitely recommend checking it out. If ever i’m back in this area of florida, I will be returning!!“
“This gelato is to die for! Best gelato I have ever tasted hands down! I got a quart of banana splitThe shop is clean and quaint. There are board games for customers to play while you’re there. Real fruit in the smoothies. So delicious and this is definitely our new go-to dessert spot!!! ♥️Vegetarian options: SmoothiesKid-friendliness: Board games, colorful atmosphere, candy and cake pops“
“I'm an ice cream lover, this specific ice cream is delicious, the idea of mixing ice cream with cereals and toppings is very original, except that for my taste it is too much in a single dish and super sweet, I couldn't eat more of the half, this It doesn't take away from how good it is, but if it's something that makes it difficult to try again, I recommend sharing 1 for 2.“
“We stopped here for ice cream while on vacation and it was fantastic! The scoops were plentiful in a delicious waffle cone! Well worth a stop after a day at the beach, or anytime! We’re back home wishing we had a great ice cream shop like this close to us.“
“Great people and service at St Pete! Coffee is really good quality and a good variety. It will always be a destination when we are here from Nashville and Pittsburgh! It was so great for them to be open at Christmas Eve and Christmas! Thank you!“
“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“
“Plant love offers organic nondairy ice cream and has a gluten free cone option as well. I love to go in and try a new flavor as they seem to rotate. The workers are always helpful and the ice cream is always delicious. There is not any toppings besides sprinkles I believe but the ice cream is good without!“
“This place has some of the most exotic icecream flavors I've seen before! I got the sprinkles and cream flavor and a second scoop with the orange coconut cake! I could BARELY make it to the second scoop because this is real icecream. Super thick, sweet and creamy. I also got a waffle cone with mine which had hints of cinnamon that was delicious. The service was a little slow, the workers there didn't help much or provide recommendations. They allowed samples but only 2. Since the flavors are so unique it would've been nice to try more but there's always next time. Overall, I'll definitely be back. There are cute lights and indoor and outdoor seating making this place the prettiest end to date night.“
“Paciugo Gelato & Caffè is a delightful stop for anyone craving a sweet treat, especially after a leisurely walk on the pier. Their gelato is simply delicious, offering an impressive array of flavors that cater to all tastes. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or adventurous, Paciugo has you covered with their quality, creamy, and rich selections. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is friendly, making it a perfect spot to relax and indulge. Highly recommended for a flavorful finish to any outing.“
“Ice cream is one thousand percent the best ice cream I’ve ever had (banana pudding flavor is TO DIE FOR). You can taste the authenticity in every bite. My husband and I love running into the owner Clint during our visits, he’s the nicest guy and really cares about every customer’s experience! One of a kind place for sure“
“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“
“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!“
“This was my first time trying Uncle Louie G, but certainly not the last! What a treat! The ice cream is smooth and creamy and tasted so fresh. The banana ice actually tastes like fresh bananas! Can't wait to order from. Here again. Bravo, on a job well done! I have a new favorite!“
“We always enjoy coming to the Shake Shack. He likes the Hawaiian shake, and I love an old fashioned chocolate malt. We love walking up to the window and watching our shakes be made. The folks working there are always so friendly, and we stop at last twice in the very short time we're in town.“
“My family always makes a trip here any time we are in town. The owner is so cool and absolutely loves his shop, his employees, and his customers.Churros are fresh, and he makes his Dulce de leche fresh in house ?Vanilla custard dip is good, but the maple cream is a solid second favorite after the Dulce de leche.We’ve tried the churro sundaes (always a favorite!) but let’s be real, we always end up with a big box of fresh churros and dipping sauces for a late night snack.The shop is friendly, open late, and always has great music. Parking isn’t bad in the street, even late night.Check out the very cool back seating area when you’re there.Get your behinds on out to Chiki Churros and get you the late night snack you didn’t know you needed- yet ?Thank me later.I look forward to coming to a future Reggae Rise Up fest and seeing a Chiki Churros food setup!!!Kid-friendliness: Absolutely kid friendly. We go in there pretty late after music shows with our kids, ages 9-17, and I have zero worries about it not being okay for them to be there.“

“The topping bar was quite large w/ an array of fresh fruits, cereals, candies and so many sauces and whipped cream to choose from. There were maybe 5 standard flavors w/ a speciality, I had yellow cake batter made w/ almond milk and I’m surprised how creamy and delicious it was. It started healthy and then the toppings….you know how it goes. I’ll definitely stop back in when craving fro yo again.Dietary restrictions: I had an almond milk frozen yogurt which was creamy and delicious. Low sugar, low fat also available.Parking: It’s in a strip mall, lots of parking available.Kid-friendliness: I briefly saw a small play space in the back for children.“
“If you want some authentic German breakfast or lunch, look no further, this is the place. Love the service, love the family owned hospitality, there are few places in downtown St Pete that offer that authentic, true local business feeling like this place. Croissants are to die for, imported from France just like their butter. Real German salami and sausages, mayonnaise made in house, reminds me of Europe in every bite. Coffee isn’t bad either! Also a good selection of imported German beers. Great prices. Even the music here is a great vibe! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.“
“Love the atmosphere here. The music and decor were cool. The lady that served us was nice friendly and welcoming. The ice cream was tasty too. I was very impressed by their selection of ice cream to accommodate dietary restrictions. Would definitely recommend this local business!“
“THE BEST PULLED PORK SANDWICH OF MY LIFE!! I would rate 7/5 stats if I could. Seriously go here and get the sandwiches because they are the best. I was on vacation with my friends and we stumbled across Bay 1 and it has forever changed my life. I have not had a better pulled pork sandwich, and i've searched for one that can compare, but no one can sadly. Every time I order a pulled pork sandwich, I am hoping to get that amount of delicious in my mouth as I do with Bay 1, however, I'm ultimately disappointed. My friends got some of the other sandwiches and they LOVED THEM! I stayed true to the pulled pork because I honestly don't think anything would compare but they loved their sandwich just as much. Since discovering Bay 1, for the rest of the trip, it was all we could think about. To this day I still think about it. I'm counting down the days til I can visit the area just so I can have this sandwich. We would go for days in a row and enjoy it every. single. time. I don't think the wait was too bad, but it doesn't matter cause you know you're getting the best sandwich in town. Seriously. I would rather eat a Bay 1 pulled pork sandwich before eating at a nice restaurant. I was never a pulled pork kind of girl, I would eat it but not want it a lot you know. Bay 1 converted me. I literally crave a pulled pork sandwich now like every week. TIP: If you are looking for a little extra sauce, go to the restaurant next door and ask for a little cup of bbq sauce. Pour some of it in the sandwich and then also dip it. Chefs kiss!“
“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!“
“This place is amazing. We found it on Yelp and we’re not disappointed. The service and food were Five Stars. We got funnel cakes and boa boa teas. This place is definitely a hidden gem. I recommend it’s a must come see and experience. There is music and lots of board games plus fuss ball tables. It’s a spot to bring friends to play and eat dessert or family to get some desserts and have fun with the kids. They have a wide range of desserts for any pallet.“
“Such a great experience with Cassandra! She was kind, attentive & courteous! She gave wonderful customer service :) We tried going to the twistee treat off of east bay and they were closed for some reason but I’m glad we got to come here instead because she made it worth it. We’ll be back a lot this spring and summer to this location.“
“Good for special occasions! I love the giant cookie concept, overall. I don't necessarily care for the price. For me, the cookie is almost too cake-like. They aren't crunchy, but aren't gooey either. If someone bought me one I would eat it again, but I don't anticipate buying more for myself.“
“When there are so many ice cream shops to choose from in St Pete, it's a little overwhelming. We decided to try ice and cream after seeing they had 48 flavors to pick from and sourced their ice cream locally from Daytona beach! We were absolutely not disappointed! The inside is so adorable and we were well taken care of by the staff. The prices are good and the ice cream even better! We would definitely go 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 recently had the pleasure of ordering an ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment I walked into the impeccably clean establishment to the first delightful bite of the cake, every aspect of my visit exceeded expectations.“

“We walked over to get ice cream at Lu Lu’s this afternoon, but the place looked closed; but Lu Lu just happened to be in her car getting ready to leave when she saw us and got out and let us in and served us anyway! What an awesome person she was…so friendly and inviting. The homemade ice cream was delicious…we had carrot cake and black raspberry!! (So yummy!)“
“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!“
“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!“
“Cute little place with great candy and ice cream. But the key to this operation is the staff .The owner is great and went out of her way to dip strawberries for me , when I called the last minute . Enjoy going there whenever I get a chance.“
“We love this place! Have you had rolled ice cream?? This is so deliciously perfect! You can get any kind of candy, syrup mixed in or on top and the folks here are so so friendly! Molly is great! You must stop here for a treat to have during the sunset on the beach across the street!“
“I am not a big sweets eater. I rarely eat ice cream, cake or sugar however this ice cream/gelato was worth it. My neighbor/friend took us by Jeremiah's on the way home from a Xmas event for the kids. Everyone said I had to try the ice cream. The sales staff was super nice, offered a sample and I was sold. It tasted like soft serve, homemade ice cream with unique, premium toppings like: sugar cookie, german chocolate cake, peppermint bark and mocha. Whatever you get, it will be good! Huge selection, reasonably priced and delicious.“
“Great spot for ice cream located in Treasure Island. Adorable decor with antique ice cream scoopers and pictures of ice cream patents. Advertised as “made locally” ice cream, which is cool! I’d go back to try another delicious flavor.“
“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!“
“I always stop in Larry’s when in town to visit my parents or on business. My kids always want to go right to Larry’s. Dori and her daughter Alison are the owners and operators and are just great. I remember when Dori gave my son his first ice cream cone and told us he would know when to do with it — and he did! My favorite flavors are cookies and cream ice cream and straciatella gelato. I love Larry’s“
“Wonderful options including sugar free, gluten free & dairy free. Generous helpings. Gets very busy, so sometimes there's a wait, but worth it. Love the coconut with pineapple & strawberries ice creamDietary restrictions: Gluten free, dairy free & sugar free options“
“Been here multiple times. The owner and workers who are there are always very sweet and helpful. I cannot have dairy and they do have a few options and their hot fudge is dairy free as well. This fudge is what brings me back. They have very many other flavors and toppings as well- plenty to chose from!“
