50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Redington Shores

“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.“

“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.“

“We foolishly left our. Lights on are vehicle in the beach parking lot next to the kooky coconut. I went in and asked a nice young lady if there was a towing company we could call to boost our beach van. A young man named Luke said i can give you a boost. I just need to ride my bike home and get my car and come. Back. I asked him why would you do that? He replied i dont live far away. He returned in 10 min. And gave us a boost. Thank you to the kooky coconut for lending your staff. Thank you Luke you are a Good Samaritan.“

“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 this place! Brittany was a wonderful help. Ice cream was phenomenal and the atmosphere was really great. Third ever place that we added location and info into our phones before we left because we loved it so much. Can’t wait to come back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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?“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“While sitting outside Lu Lu’s ice cream shop last night, enjoying our treats, my 8 year old little boy asked me to give this a place a “5 star rating”. Absolutely I will! The service was top notch. The owner is so sweet and kind. The shop wasn’t “touristy”, but instead very whimsical, welcoming and gave off awesome vibes! Last but absolutely not least because what brings you through the door in the first place- BEST ICE CREAM EVER!! It’s homemade. The best praline pecan I have ever tasted…. And obviously my little guys too being he has never asked me to leave a review for someone! You will not be disappointed!“

“Bay 1 is scooping the creamiest Amish ice cream in the area. They had plenty of flavor options including a few non-dairy ice cream choices that my wife raved about. Don’t waste your time with other ice cream shops in the area that boast at having over 100 mediocre options and have a line wrapped around the building. The staff at Bay 1 was very friendly and attentive each time we were there.Dietary restrictions: They had a few dairy free ice cream options“

“I ❤ Andy's Frozen Custard! I'm from Springfield MO where Andy's originated from. I'm so glad I can now get this amazing Custard in Florida! The Ozark Turtle Sundae is unbelievable with creamy caramel, smooth hot fudge, and crunchy roasted pecans! Andy's is the BEST!“

“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.“

“I usually try to review local businesses but honestly I'm always impressed with the service at this location. Review: Chain store gone viral for the right reasons. I do like that they switch the cookies up weekly. Product is consistent. Service at this location is always great. Cookies are definitely sweet but overall it's fun to try their weekly lineup. Recommend sharing! Serving sizes are massive. Cons: Parking is limited in the lot and the standing area is small if they are busy but it's a VERY FAST experience so it's not a big deal. The business model is a grab and go - you will not be sitting to enjoy your treats.“

“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!“

“Very fresh and definitely homemade. Nice and flavorful and sweet but not too much sugar or sweetness. Good quality. Highly recommend. This is way better than the American junk that we call ice cream and fruit bars. They also have fresh juices.The staff are really kind and the service is great“

“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..“

“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 !!“

“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 ?“

“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 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!“

“We stopped here because I saw a sign saying 140 flavors of ice cream! I thought there's no way possible they had that many choices... Well I was definitely wrong. I was overwhelmed by all of the yummy flavors, therefore making it a very difficult decision. I went with blueberry cheesecake ice cream. I would highly recommend trying it. I was not disappointed. Although they were busy they had plenty of friendly staff to help get the customers what they wanted in a timely manner. ?“

“DELICIOUS! It was just like the Rita's from back home! The custard was even better than I remembered!Parking: Tons of parking and even has a drive thru!Kid-friendliness: What is more kid friendly than ice cream???Wheelchair accessibility: Has ramps.“

“Nothing gets better than a good cold dessert after eating lunch. Well lets get on to the dessert it was delicious italian ice. The place is clean. service was good. definitely got a brain freeze so it wasn't melted I could not finish it so if your looking for nice cold treat go to Jeremiah's italian ice.“

“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!!!!“

“Great neighborhood location for a frozen treat! We have lived walking distance since they opened and it has continued to be a family favorite as well as for our out of town visitors, in-laws and the next generation of kids!Kid-friendliness: This is my two year old grandson ‘s favorite place for a treat!“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“A quick Google search brought up this mom & pop Mexican ice cream shop. It's spacious inside. Easy to read menu with reasonable pricing. The parking is under construction and almost finished. I got the mixed fruit bowl with chamoy, watermelon, mango, cucumber and cantaloupe. Deliciously cold. Hit the spot. My other half got the strawberries and creme. No photo because he finished before I got a chance to get some photos. It had fresh plump sweet strawberries, sweet cream, topped with whipped cream.“

“I loved the North Atlantic Cod Dinner. the fish was so white and had a very mild taste. I substituted mashed potatoes & gravy instead of FF & broccoli w/cheese instead of Cole slaw. all i can say is Delicious!!! I am going back again tomorrow for a repeat of that awesome meal. Wish they had Culver's in NYS.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came here for an affogato and was very satisfied ❤️. My friends and I ordered an affogato each, one with coconut, hazelnut, tiramisu, and Ferraro Rocher gelato. Of the four, my favorite was the coconut. There were small flakes of coconut that added to the flavor and just gave it that little bit of extra to set it apart from the others. Each of us enjoyed our orders so much that we came back two nights in a row!We sampled a few gelato flavors and as a stand alone I would have opted for the Nutty flavor which is much like Nutella.On our second visit I also ordered a Caesar salad, because why not?! It was freshly made with shaved Parmesan, but the dressing was just terrible. It was worse than store bought dressing. That was the furthest from a Caesar dressing flavor that I can think of. The dressing was extremely salty and just not a good Caesar flavor. I was disappointed because as good as everything else we tried was, I thought their dressing would have also been made in house and it was not. At the very least, they should rethink the brand of dressing they use because it is a big NO NEVER AGAIN for me.The truffles we ordered looked pretty, but they were super sweet, dare I say too sweet. Flavors would have been best if they cut back on the sweetness just a bit.Overall, I’d give this a 7/10. The gelato is great! Come for the gelato’s! Maybe pass on the truffles, or try one for yourself and see if it’s just too sweet to me. I’d love to hear another opinion on it. Stay away from the Caesar salad. Just don’t.7/10, but I’d come again for the gelato.Kid-friendliness: There are many yummy things a kid would love to try here!“
