There's a reason I keep returning to Bake'n Babes. They have some of THE best soft serve here in Tampa AND their Nutella Salted Cookie Babe Shake is to divine. It's vanilla soft serve mixed with chunks of their delicious salted Nutella chocolate chip cookies, topped with more of their salted chocolate chip cookies & a Nutella drizzle. I've tried almost everything on their menu, and this has been my personal favorite to order every time I am there! Think -- a less mixed blizzard with cookie & Nutella globs to eat mainly with a spoon and both a straw for when it begins to melt. The store itself is adorable. Think pink neon lighting, velvet pink couches with fun cookie pillows, and a fun wall for photo opportunities. Recently they also added a super fun Photo Booth outside of their store! They even have a succulent in an ice cream cone shaped pot and a pink street sign on their wall that says "Bake'n Babes". It's all about the little details, and they did a phenomenal job decorating! I love that they have self service touch screens! Usually a staff member is present at the front and helps answer any questions you may have about the menu which is awesome! One recommendation would be to have a button in case you need anyone from the back, and to put the thermostat to be a little less chilly (I'm sure there's a reason for this!). Otherwise perfection!! I have been here probably about 20 times or more, and highly recommend! read more

Might be the best salted chocolate chip cookies In the city! It's massive, it's warm, and it is perfectly salted. The Armature location will always be my favorite with quick service and easily accessible from any of the parking areas. 10/10 recommend! read more

This sweets shop is in a beautiful area, has some outdoor seating, and a completely picture perfect interior. The desserts are good too! The soft serve ice cream was nothing special, but their sleazy brownie was amazing! The cookies looked really tasty too. They also offer thick shakes; perfect for the warm weather. The service was outstanding. The cashier answered our questions and seemed very friendly and laid back. Hits the spot for a late night sweets craving. Overall rating: 4.7/5 stars read more

5 Enthusiastic stars for a small women-owned cookie biz that has my new favorite chocolate chip cookie. Ok, so the lovely Skylar W was taking me around to her favorite local spots in the Tampa area and we hit up Bake'n Babes because she knows your girl loves a chocolate chip cookie. She also raved about the brown sugar poptart cookie that's a special at the moment, so I HAD to try it. This shop is located in the cutest little downtown mainstreet of Davis Islands. We grabbed easy parking right in front of the shop and posted up at an outdoor table once we got our cookies. This shop is counter service, so you go in and order. So, the cookies: The chocolate chip cookie is not the most impressive looks-wise, but holy moly when you split it open you will see soft, melty chocolate chips and immediately know you made a good call. I love an unpretentious cookie that delivers on flavor, texture, and gooey chocolate chips. This did all those things. And the brown sugar poptart cookie? Wow- this is a nostalgia bomb! The center has a cinnamon sugar filling that isn't cloyingly sweet, but forces you to keep coming back for more. It's a winner and I hope it stays on the menu for a long time! Overall, a new favorite spot when I'm in town! read more

Mediocre, kinda high priced for what's given and limited options. Tried a smores cookie it was ok. Also bought vanilla ice cream to go with the smores cookie and it was so big it toppled over almost immediately onto the counter and a replacement wasn't given. The sleazy brownie shake was decent. read more

Great spot for rich, grab & go cookies, brownies, and shakes! It's their to go location, but still bright and welcoming (and super aesthetically pleasing decor). The monthly freak shakes are always fun, and we even love the chocolate chip and sea salt cookies. Julie has done something really great with these sweet treats and ambiance of the place. We pop in every time we are back in Tampa! read more

The desserts looked amazing and the cookies were rich and flavorful, but some items felt overly sweet for my taste. Service was friendly

Been a fan for about 4 years. These cookies are gooood!! 1 is usually enough for me but they also have ice cream, a special colossal sized cone called "The Works" of which had scoops sprinkles a cookie & a large spiral rainbow candy stick piled high for $20. There's is also a popular fish shaped, Japanese street food cone called the Taiyaki which is Vanilla soft serve topped with rainbow sprinkles. Totally whimsical!! The item I favorited first was the Nutella filled chocolate chip which is the also salted like the original. **There is a CBD cookie as well & you'll have to try that out upon arrival. **Bake'n has also been named Best cookies in the Bay for 5 years in a row!! ™ Best of the Bay Tampa read more

I got the sleazy brownie and it was definitely good, but not super amazing. I'm not sure what the inside is (looks like Oreo cookie) but you're barely able to taste it. The girl who served me was weird. I asked for just the brownie which requires her to just grab it from the shelf and put it in a box so I didn't tip. Not sure if that made her upset or not but she swiped my card, then curtly said have a good night. Girlfriend, I need my receipt! This is a work expense. She had to go back and print it out for me. The place is cute and pink. Even the receipt paper is pink lol read more

I will say these cookies are Huge and heavy but the sweetness level is perfect The Nutella filled was good but my absolute favorite was the sleezy brownie it's so delicious in 3 different ways The chocolate chip and the fruity pebble were good too my kids ate those and we got the good stuff. The cbd gummie we're not bag definitely a sour gummie and I'm not sure why only 7 and not 6 or 8 but that's just me. Delicious for sure read more

During our seven-mile walk around Riverwalk, we decided to take a break at Bake'n Babes inside Armature Works. The friendly and efficient service made our visit even better, and we could't resist trying the Taiyaki Cone, a delightful nod to a Japanese street food favorite. This treat features creamy vanilla soft serve with seasonal sprinkles, all served in a sweet, cake-like cone. It was absolutely delicious and the perfect way to cool down! -Jennifer disadventures.com read more

n my quest to find the perfect chocolate chip cookie, I came across a new shop at Armature Works. First, I hate that parking there costs $10, but that is on the City of Tampa for not doing better. I ordered 6 of the chocolate chip, and these cookies are massive. I found it interesting that their sampler pack is $25 for 6 when 4 of the 6 cookies in the sampler pack are at the lower price point (6 for $20), and 2 are at the higher price point. This seems to be a miss in marketing, but perhaps they have their reasons. Now onto the star- the cookie. Their chocolate chip have salt on them which is such a great tool to ensure the cookie isn't overly sweet. The proportion of dough to chocolate chip is perfect. Some cookies are so full of chips/chunks/nuts that you cannot taste the cookie. Well, they got that part right. This is a meticulously balanced cookie with exceptional flavor. I would rank it 9 out of 10, and definitely worth stoping by to try. They have another location on Davis island, which avoids the armature works parking problem read more

Went to the location on Davis Islands and it's super cute in there. Love the decor and even the small details. The cookies are excellent so definitely try one of those. We had Babe Shakes with cookies mixed in, one with chocolate chip cookie and the other with nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookie. The shakes were pretty good but the ice cream is just okay. Next time I go, I will probably stick to the cookies, but definitely it's worth checking out! read more

Located in Davis Island next door to Tea Bella. This is such a cute cookie shop and so inviting! Love the decor. They have 4 tables out front for enjoying your sweet treats. After speaking to the staff member, he recommended the Tampa Trio so that we get a box of 6 cookies that include 2 each of the Fruity Pebbles, Salted Chocolate Chip and the Nutella stuffed chocolate chip. Yum! Immediately upon me seeing the menu and the Nutella stuffing yes!, had to have it. Anything with Nutella is a MUST!! Got home and devoured me a Nutella cookie. WOWZA this thing is sooooo delicious!!! Bake's Babes really knows how to do it right. I haven't tried the others yet but if they are anything like the Nutella then they'll be delicious as well. Definitely adding this place to my favs for sweet treats. read more

I'd like to call my self a cookie connoisseur! I'm always on the hunt for some delicious Ooey gooey cookies. Armature Works has a wide variety of cuisines and Bake' n Babes is one of the places in the building. You can smell the cookies the moment you walk up to the counter. I was so overwhelmed with excitement, I panicked ordered. (I tend to panic order). Anyway, I ordered a box of 6 salted chocolate chip cookies along with 1 Nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookie. Now let me tell you when she said $26 for 7 cookies, I thought, these better be good. When I opened the box and saw how huge the cookies were, I knew I made the right decision. A cookie a day keeps the doctor away! They stayed fresh and delicious. They were nice and gooey on the inside. Ugh def a must try. read more

Hooray for Bake'n Bakes Second Location on Davis Island in Tampa. Their other location is at Armature Works Food Hall. I do like this location much better. I love the decor and it being pretty pink. I love the inside couch setting and the outside tables with shade and plant decor. Here they sell their cookies, milk shakes, taiyaki fish shaped waffle cones, and ice cream sandwiches. This time around I kept it simple with a chocolate chip cookie and it definitely was divine. I have tried their fruity pebbles and I think their Nutella cookie, and their brownie at the other location, but this one definitely was the best. Super memorable and I'll order it again. They are located next to Teavana Tea. And close to Davis Island Beach Park. I think it's an awesome location, & really love it! read more

All locations are not created equal for Bake'n Babes so be sure to check out both for location exclusives. December's Freak Shake is only available at their Davis Island location and super cute! I didn't get the freak shake because it was too big for me but I did get the holiday shake that has a Little Debbie Christmas Tree sticking out the top. With the little cake and the ice cream it was basically a meal for me. The shop is so adorable and has pink everywhere. I love their Insta-wall that has a gorgeous bright pink velvet couch in front of it. I also read a lot of reviews about their Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie, umm yes please!! That was bagged and saved for later. Okay okay, I snuck a little taster before getting in the car and it was delicious. The cookie is huge so I'll have to finish that later. read more

I wouldn't necessarily call myself a cookie connoisseur... but I've certainly tried my fair share of cookies. The salted chocolate chip cookie is ELITE, and remains the best cookie I've ever had since my first time having one a year and a half ago. And, they're consistent. I've never ordered this cookie and thought "wow, that wasn't as good as the last time" because it's truly always mouthwatering. The chocolate chips are massive, there's a slight golden crunch on the outside with a gooey center, the perfect amount of salt sits on top, AND THEY'RE OFTEN SERVED WARM IF YOU EAT IT RIGHT AWAY. It's a big cookie. You could share it, but I assure you that you won't want to... just saying. read more

I had heard a lot of hype about these cookies and my wife and I were looking forward to them. While hefty in size and price, these cookies lacked in flavor and richness. My wife and I were at Armature Works for a date night Friday. For dessert, we've been wanting to try Bake N Babes. We looked over the menu and ordered the Tampa Trio. Two salted chocolate chip, two Nutella filled and two fruity pebbles. $26 for 6 cookies. This place vaguely reminded me of an insomnia cookies or a crumble cookies. The cookies were gigantic and looked good. We got them home and baked them to the specifications on the box. 200 degrees for about 2 minutes. The salted chocolate chip was a let down. There were maybe 4-5 chocolate chips in each huge cookie. The ratio was off. It was mostly dough, underbaked in the middle for that gooey texture but with the baking instructions, did not get too gooey. The Nutella filled one was better. Soft, delicate chocolate hazelnut spread was kinda in the middle. For the size of the cookie, we were expecting it to be filled. It wasn't. There was a small dollop in each one. There was also a lack of chocolate chips in these ones too. The fruity pebbles cookies looked appetizing and would make for a nice Instagram post. Colorful and gigantic. But the sugar cookie just wasn't that tasty and the fruity pebbles fell off. We brought these home and shared them with family. They shared our sentiments that they were just ok. We wouldn't buy these again. read more

The $4 salted chocolate chip cookie is a top shelf super delicious go out of your way cookie to eat for dessert. I absolutely loved it. Great mix of cookie, chocolate, and salt. I also had a $7 sleazy brownie. It was good, not great. There appears to be at least 4 layers. All very dense in chcolate, but not an all timer. I will try the ice cream next time. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for a few treats. I wanted to pay in cash and it seemed as if I was truly bothering the employee. I ordered and my cash included a 30% tip. She came back after getting my treats from the back and placed Them on the counter, no bag and no thank you. My friend asked for a small cup of water at which she said nothing and went to the back and came back with cup filled with somewhat hot water. Rude and unprofessional and not what one would expect for a boutique bakery. Do better Babes. read more

Checked out the @bakenbabes to grab February's The Works Milkshake. It came with vanilla soft serve ice creamrock candy, swirl lollipop their house made mini vanilla cupcake and a pink sugar cookie! The ice cream was so good and creamy. The cupcake was fluffy and not too sweet perfect pair with the ice cream cream. The sugar cookie reminded me of the Christmas cookies that comes in the tin can, very tasty. I also tried the chocolate chip cookie as well. It was soooo good! So gooey in the middle and a nice balance of crunch on the outside. Side Note: Everything was VEGAN except the soft served ice cream. Believe me when I say I found out after I tasted everything vegan where lol. Definitely give them a try. The flashing heart wand made it fun and topped it off with a nice glow! read more
