“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!?“
“Little shack of a place, but the food was good. We got 2 different types of Cuban sandwiches (Tampa & Pesto), a Crab cake sandwich, and a cheese quesadilla. The sandwiches were all pretty good. The quesadilla was solid, but there isn't much you can do with a plain cheese quesadilla.What really stood out though was the ice cream... best we've ever had! We went yesterday, got several flavors that were all great! It was so good, we went back today just for more ice cream!“
“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!“
“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 ??“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“The owner was so friendly and sweet! We had a great time chatting with her while she scooped up our gelato order. The gelato was absolutely delicious! My daughter and son-in-law just returned from a trip to Italy and they said it was just as good as what they had there!“

“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!“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“Me and My boyfriend vacationed in IRB we live a little over an hour north we got Ice cream here 1 or more times every day we stayed as well as made the drive down after our vacation just for more of there delicious creamery!! The staff was always super friendly, food was always delicious, and the atmosphere in the little shop was amazing with all kinds of other exotic candy’s and toys etc. 1000% recommend coming here over any other ice cream shop in IRB!“
“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!“
“*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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“Love love having a full vegan ice cream place! We had the strawberry and divine chocolate in a waffle cone. Both flavors blew our minds! All their ice creams are coconut based and we could barely taste the coconut. Great service! Highly recommended.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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 ?❤️ ?“
“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?“

“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.“
“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. :)“

“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“We had three flavors of the local ice cream that were delicious - and we're from Wisconsin, so that's saying something! (We have great ice cream - dairy state and all). I had the fried key lime pie, which was so good! The real treat though was the service. The gentleman running the shop were very attentive and truly wanted to know what we thought and if they could do anything to make it better. The only thing I would say is to expect that the interior has some storage in the main area and some of the tables could have been wiped down a little more. They had two foosball tables (for free!) and a bunch of board games as well. A really cute place, again, with great service.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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“

“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!)“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“El Glaciar offers superior ice cream flavors & varieties of water flavors. I have been going to this ice cream shop for years. What I like about this ice cream shop that they offer unique flavors like Mazapan de la rosa or Ferrero Rocher. They only accept cash or Zelle.Dietary restrictions: They offer water flavor of ice cream ?“
“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.“
“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 !!“
“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.“
“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!“
“Best soft serve in this part of St. Pete! They are generous with the amount of ice cream they scoop into the waffle cones. They also have a customer reward program. Just give them your phone # every time you buy, and you can earn a free cone after so many purchases.“
