50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Tampa

“Rocky took the time to open on Christmas and taught us about the flavors and made our signature creations with utmost care and professionalism! We love this location even though it’s far from us and he suggested and let us try samples of flavors that are limited. I bring all my family and friends here .“

“Great place with friendly people, smiles and the best ice cream.“

“I am a huge fan of ice cream! The food served at Ice Sssscreamin/Tampa is, by far, the Best I've ever tasted. And I have tasted a lot! And what a great variety! Service and Atmosphere are both outstanding . I felt really welcome and it was a pleasure to be in such a clean, pleasant environment! My compliments to the owners and staff!!!!!“

“Delicious! I highly recommend the bacon double cheeseburger with chopped chilies. My first time was great, and I will return 🍔🍔🍔🍔“

“Great ice cream options. And the dipped cones are a great complement!“

“Bo’s Ice Cream is a Tampa treasure! This old-school stand has been serving up sweet, creamy happiness since 1954—and you can taste the history in every bite. Whether you’re a soft-serve purist, a milkshake fan, or someone who needs sprinkles on everything, Bo’s has something nostalgic and delicious for everyone.

The ice cream is always smooth, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. The vanilla and chocolate swirl is a classic, but their dipped cones and banana splits are just as crave-worthy. And don’t sleep on the milkshakes—thick, rich, and just the right kind of indulgent.

What makes Bo’s even better is the atmosphere: friendly service, reasonable prices, and that charming retro walk-up window that feels like stepping back in time. It’s the kind of place where generations of locals bring their kids, and tourists stumble upon it and instantly get why it’s beloved.

If you’re in Tampa and looking for a sweet treat that hits every note—Bo’s is the spot. Fast service, good vibes, and unbeatable ice cream. A true local legend!“

“Great service, great atmosphere! Loved my Oreo milkshake. Will be returning!“

“This is a great place for our family to go and unwind in the evenings over great ice cream treats. It’s not expensive and they have something for everyone.“

“Nick always remembers my wife and I when we come in to get ice cream. We left Tampa for a year, and when we finally moved back to the area and went to Cold Stone, Nick remembered us immediately and asked how our time was in the other city. He has great attention to detail and customer service. Not to mention he is always cheery, conversational, and makes a mean ice cream! He is a true gem and deserves a raise/promotion! We know we are in good hands when we pull up to CS and Nick is there.“

“The Malty Millionaire is an incredible treat! Delicious just doesn't begin to say how amazing this flavor is!“

“I come hear all the time and I absolutely love it!“

“Incredible ice cream! Probably the best I’ve ever had in Florida. The quality and richness is so good. I’m so tired of overrated places that have cheap-tasting ice cream. This place is the BEST!“

“I always enjoy coming to this spot after church to get me some dessert, on 7/25/21 it’s was different not the friendly atmosphere In the drive-through when I was ordering I wasn’t told they did not have any tops for my ice cream and the cups of ice cream were sloppy ice cream dripping off on the sides I had to drive to the window to get my price and then when I got home I didn’t receive the correct size spoons this may seem like I’m picking but I’m not I’m not used to this type of treatment so this Sunday I’m disappointedHope my next trip will be better or the way it always been friendly and excited to serve“

We were both pretty impressed. They are open late. Great location. Great atmosphere and the staff were super sweet. The prices are affordable and the options are plenty. I look forward to seeing how they grow. This place is for sure a must try. I wish I had taken more photos. I took several videos and google doesn’t allow video upload. Get cute and go have some desert.“

“Amazing frozen yogurt , I went in with my for my birthday and they were so sweet wishing me a happy birthday so glad they have the guilt free option of no sugar and fresh fruit toppings, Love it Birthday cake was sooooo good , will definitely make it a regular dessert place“

“My boyfriend and I came around 5pm on August 11th! It was surprisingly dead around that time. We got a quick dinner for my boyfriend's birthday and everything was very nice. Our server was attentive and sweet, I don't remember her name though! She brought us our dessert (the cookie skillet was her recommendation. it was great!) and even had some of her coworkers sing happy birthday to my boyfriend. We will be back again :)“

“Had my first visit here today and I was so happy! The staff was very nice and the store was clean. My smores milkshakes was delicious!!“

“A mi y a mi niña nos encantan. Si es por mi voy todos los días. Son riquisimos y el personal super amable.“

“Amazing yogurt flavors and excellent choices for toppings! I am always hesitant to try a new frozen yogurt store because many have very chemical-tasting yogurt flavors. However, I am happy to say that Yogurtology does not have this problem. Every one of their frozen yogurt flavors is spot on. You want pumpkin pie? It tastes just like homemade. Cookie dough? Like it's right out of the mixing bowl. They have fruit flavors as well, such as orange and pomegranate. All are amazing. There is a plethora of toppings to choose from. Not the most I've seen, but there is more than enough and you will find what you need. The employees are always nice and they keep the store very clean. I've been here at least 10 times and it's always a great experience.“

“Cannot recommend this location enough! Impeccable food, clean, professional & friendly owners who go the extra mile…no comparison at all. Once you go duck you’ll never go back.“

“very cozy place with delicious waffles & drinks und very friendly stuff & owners. absolutely worth to visit. Congratulations and all the best for your future.???“

“Val, Giselle, and the rest of the staff are great at this location. I’ve seen other locations that aren’t operated near as well as the Sheldon location. Always very polite and enthusiastic customer service that compliments their great cookies! I will definitely be back!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ we just tired them for the first time at monster jam in Orlando. The ice cream was good and the workers was very nice. I couldn’t carry 5 ice creams so they offered to help me back to my family! Thanks again“

“Great energy from Rodney and staff! The food is amazing. You can taste the difference in the ingredients. They truly take the time and go to great lengths to source the best ingredients. This isn’t regular fruit you can find at Publix and you feel different eating this. There’s actual nutrients in this. Ice cream one can feel good about eating loads of. And let’s not forget the Sea Moss! Great source of iodine which everyone needs. In my research on my patient population I’ve found everyone is iodine deficient. People can correct this by visiting this establishment and asking for the Sea Moss. Your health will improve dramatically and you will feel more energy.“

“Perfect yogurt and very good attention!“
