We tried this ice cream shop on our way back from the beach. It is a weird location but we were very happy we tried it. The ice cream is really good and the staff was friendly. Seemed popular with the kids in the neighborhood. They had a bunch of fun flavors and my 4 year old daughter really enjoyed her choice. We did too. Try it out. read more

Stopped by bright ice for some ice cream. Had the sugar free butter pecan and the orange kissed coconut cake scoop. Mocha Coconut had a pup cup. Everyone was very friendly and provided us with good sized samples. Seating and tables available inside and out. A/C worked mediocre for a hot August Day. Happy they have a free parking lot on the side of their building. read more

Heard great reviews about this ice cream spot so of course I had to come to try it out. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They have cool flavors- like banana caramel, hot vanilla, etc, and in my picture you can see that I picked the Oat flavor. This is the kind of ice cream that you can tell is homemade and does not make you feel like bloated afterwards. The girl at the counter was extremely kind. She allowed me to test out the flavors and offered me suggestions on what to get. Shout out to her for her kindness and friendliness! I can't wait to come back and try out more flavors! read more

Best in the city. Hands down. We have tried every other shop from the beach to downtown & none of them come even close to Bright Ice

We were the only 2 in this shop at 7pm on a Friday--2 staff members helped us kindly, and gave recommendations where we had questions. This was fantastic ice cream! I loved the oatmeal cream pie most--I've never had this in ice cream but it was delicious. Our second scoop was cookies and cream which was delicious as well. The waffle cone piece as a garnish was a nice touch! This place had about a dozen flavors, and a couple vegan ones in addition. Plenty to choose from! There was plenty of seating for small group, and the place was more spacious than I thought. It is decorated colorfully and was a nice vibe! Would definitely recommend stopping in. read more

Kind staff, plenty of parking, variety of seating. While their specialty seems to be incredibly unique flavors my absolute favorite and the reason I keep returning and purchasing pints of is their vegan roasted strawberry. Initially I was intrigued by the website listed flavor of vegan cherry vanilla yet disappointed in store seeing it's replaced with the strawberry but it is sooooo yummy. Also their scoops are huge! Biggest one scoop I've ever encountered. read more

I am a big fan of this place: love the natural ice cream flavors, delicious! The chocolate reminds me of an old fashioned fudgesicle from when I was a kid. Love their hours - one of the few in the area that stays open late cause we love getting ice cream after dinner. It has a cool, hip vibe for bonus. Park in back for other options to keep it easy. read more

This is one of my go to ice cream spots. Their ice cream is homemade and it tastes creamer than others. My favorites include the Sprinkles & Cream, Cookies & Cream, and Warm Vanilla (in that order). I love getting their to go pints so I can enjoy it at home :) read more

All of the ice cream flavors are delicious and affordable! Staff is always nice and the casual vibe and fun decor is perfect for an ice cream store. They have a small amount of baked goods and pints ready to take home, if you wish! My favorite is the deepest darkest chocolate secret I love being close to this gem! read more

The brownie I got is the business, it's called magic bar and the cashier warmed it up for me. They were really nice, let us figure out what we wanted and all you do is pay.

Tasty--very tasty! The place was easily accessible, bright for sure and comfortable allowing for seating indoors. The ice cream was GREAT! Each of us tried a few flavors which only made the final selection harder. But we settled down and shared each! Yummy! The staff were accommodating and gave great suggestions! The healthy portion did not make you feel like you needed more. Double yummy! read more

Amazing and unique ice cream! I got the peanut butter and strawberry jam flavor, and wowzers, what a great combo. Even though I love peanut butter, I usually avoid getting it as ice cream because it all tastes the same to me. This one though, I can imagine even non-peanut butter lovers liking this! It's super creamy and decadent, a lot lighter on the peanut flavor too. The jam goes perfectly with it, and I love how there's little gooey splotches of it throughout. Overall, just a really pleasant surprise! I got a single scoop, but they were surprisingly generous with my serving as well. I love the interior of the shop-- the windows bring in a lot of sunlight, the light fixtures are all cute and modern, and the chairs are clean and comfy. I wanna come back again so I can try all the other fun flavors! read more

The phone obviously didn't eat first! They have so many unique flavors that I cant wait to come back and try them all! For one scoop they really do give you a-lot! They have non-dairy options.

I was so happy to find this place threw YELP because now I have a new spot to take the kids to when we're in town! These flavors are so smooth and sweet we absolutely love the chocolate brownie and kahlua and espresso was really good they have actual espresso beans for a crunch! Also to wash all those flavors down or even need a little pick me up they have coffee and a fridge with drinks. read more

When you walk in, you feel like you're in an ice cream spot. Super bright and friendly staff to go along with the ambiance. All the ice cream flavors sounded delicious, so deciding on just one (or two) was quite hard. The ice cream is creamy and not overly sugared tasting. The flavors are unique and I don't believe you can go wrong with any of them! They also offer 'limited-time' & vegan flavors as well, so you can get everyone in the group covered! read more

This is my absolute favorite ice cream place in St. Pete!! The staff is always friendly and helpful and you can try some samples if you're not sure what to get! Some of my favorite flavors are cookies and cream, sea salt caramel, and the espresso one. :) They have a variety of options from bowls, waffle bowls, and waffle cones and they sell brownies and other sweat treats. The ambiance is bright, inviting and clean! Also, you can purchase a pint of any ice cream flavor for $9 and the ice cream is truly so good that it's worth every penny! Highly recommend!! read more

Wow this is probably now number 1 on my most favorite ice creams list. The shop is clean and the service is fast. I got the oat of this world and banana/pb/honey flavors and it was an amazing combination. Their ice cream is so creamy and silky, I truly wish I could take some pints back on the plane ride home with me! read more

I just realized that because of a Yelp event I love this place. I don't generally go to ice cream shops but if I'm craving something sweet, Ice cream is my go to and Bright Ice is delicious. Their ice cream is creamy and fill of flavor. I love that they have creative flavors like strawberry balsamic or cinnamon blueberry. One of my favorites is the the pineapple with brown butter and pecans on top ofvtheir coconut blondie bar, heavenly . For Christmas I bought my parents 3 ponts and now they are big fans of Bright Ice. Great Ice cream, with friendly. helpful.service read more

Really good ice cream, very unique and different flavors like key lime pie, toasted strawberry, sprinkles and cream, coffee toffee, etc.

They have pastries, bistro ice creams and amazing coffee. The key lime pie ice cream is like eating a fresh frozen key lime pie!! New favorite!! Pie and ice cream in one without the soggy crust. The graham crust is perfect in this ice cream. The staff are amazing and the store was clean. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Wow, what a tasty find! We passed this on the way to the beach and had to come back by and stop in. This place makes all of their own ice cream and they have some wonderful flavors. Today we ordered cafe Affogato's, one with espresso Kabul's ice cream and one with coffee toffee. We ordered a magic bar which is a dessert bar with chocolate chips coconut and a few other tasty things. We also ordered a scoop of pineapple brown butter and pecan ice cream which is delightful. They allow you to taste as many flavors as you would like to. We limited ourselves to just a few and AMAZING! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating and this is decorated beautifully with a rainbow colored accent wall with couches lining the walls, small tables and chairs inside. This is a MUST visit if you are in the area for sure. read more

Very tasty local ice cream shop. We've been to their other location in Pinellas Park, so we were delighted to find that there's a sister location slightly closer to the beach. We went in close to closing time (they close at 10pm on Sundays), but the place still had a bunch of customers, and the staff was still alert and friendly and moving quickly. Mind you, going at the end of the day means that some flavors are out. But it's nice to know that you can slip in the door at 9:45 and still get service. I got a scoop of the roasted strawberry with brown sugar and balsalmic ice cream. It was smooth and creamy, and not too sweet. It tasted similar to a good-quality strawberry jam. I tasted my daughter's caramelized pineapple with brown sugar and pecans ice cream, and it was absolutely delicious. I liked that the pecans were crunchy (so many nuts in ice cream get soggy). We bought a pint of coffee toffee to bring home from a previous good experience. I'm so excited to learn that they have a Tampa location, because we're definitely going there. read more

If you have ever been to salt and straw - you would know how exciting it to have bright ice in st Pete! It has very similar unique flavors that work amazingly well together!! Their staff was friendly and helpful - not to mention, wearing mask and adhering to the 6 feet rule! Tried the caramelized bananas with honey & Pb and the roasted strawberry with brown sugar / balsamic ! Both were so yummy!! Great outdoor seating, what a gem! read more

Bright Ice is located on the corner of 37th Street North and 5th Avenue North, an easy find. This newly opened ice cream store (a little more than a month now) has some tasty ice cream flavors (some of which are vegan friendly), pastries and affogato (ice cream with a shot of espresso). After tasting 2 flavors of ice cream (we were greeted by 2 friendly employees when my husband and I came in and were told that we could try any samples), we ended up getting: Double Scoop, $5.35 after tax- We picked roasted strawberry w/ brown sugar & balsamic and brownies & cream. There is a vegan version of the roasted strawberry with brown sugar and balsamic but I didn't try it (according to one of the employees, it is made with rice milk). I liked this flavor and thought it wasn't too sweet. The brownies and cream had pieces of their brownies, which you can also purchase if you would prefer the baked dessert. A good choice to go with too. Since this place has an outdoor (covered) seating, we brought our little girl dog with us. She seemed to like the cream part of the brownie and cream (remember friends, chocolate is a no- no for any animal). I liked that there is plenty of seating outside but there is also a good amount of seating inside too if you prefer to sit there. There is limited parking on either side (off of 37th Street North or 5th Avenue North). Love the in house flavors that Bright Ice offers and would definitely be a regular if I lived in the area. read more

Er mah gerd! This is some of the best ice cream I've had. The offered flavor combos made it tough to narrow it down to one (my own limitation admittedly!). I mean which would you choose between caramelized bananas with peanut butter and honey, carrot cake, deepest darkest chocolate secret, sea salt caramel, etc.? In the end I went with blueberry and cinnamon while taking tastes of the caramelized banana from my wife's cone! I LOVE that they offer tastes using metal spoons rather than a bunch of little plastic throwaway spoons. The metal spoons are also given to those that are eating their ice cream on the premises. read more

I've had my eye on Bright Ice for a long time and finally had the opp to stop in. The building is so pretty! One of the owners was in the shop during our visit. He was super sweet and we tried a few flavors. I opted for the lemon ginger and salted caramel. The babe had key lime and strawberry basil. I'm not someone who can eat a lot of sweets in one sitting so I got the single scoop. Everything was SO GOOD. I was happy to know there are no artificial ingredients. You can definitely tell too! The chef was there also and we had to tell him how wonderful the ice cream was. This is definitely our new go to ice cream shop! read more

A colleague recommended Bright Ice to me a day before I got confirmed for the Yelp event, so I believe it's meant to be. I LOVE ice cream to the point where it's almost an addiction. As I walked into the shop i felt strong withdrawals overwhelming my senses, my mouth started salivating but luckily I was wearing a mask so I was discreet. I opted for the two vegan options since dairy has the tendency to upset my stomach. Man was the ice cream good though, it gave a high like I've never felt before. I thought I wasn't going to make it home without finishing the double scooped cup. I even had plans to save some for my son but that never happened, I finished it all. The decor and interior design of the venue is beautiful. I'll definitely come by again. I'd love to try their ice cream c coffee read more

Cute little place with amazing flavors. I had the mint chip and their peach cobbler ice creams which were both awesome. I highly recommend the peach cobbler since it's only seasonal.

Deliciously amazing. Clean. Highly recommend for anyone coming to Tampa. Great price and absolutely fun and original flavors.

I believe I may have finally found my ice cream place in the Tampa/St Pete area. My husband & I are all over the area when we visit so their 3 locations (DT Tampa, St. Pete & Pinellas Park) are very convenient for us. The flavors are inspired and more importantly, done extremely well. We happened to visit the St. Pete location this time around. It's a small but charmingly decorated scoop shop with a few seats in the main area, counter seating with stools along part of the front window area, and a cute covered patio area outside. We even spotted some baked goods for sale if someone in your party happened to not be in the mood for ice cream (but seriously who could resist trying these flavors?). There are usual flavors (called "Always Flavors ") & a rotating list of seasonally inspired flavors. They even have Vegans out there covered. We really couldn't decide on which flavors to try so we ordered five in all haha (one triple scoop & one double scoop). (Note: They do allow sampling but we live dangerously.) Flavors we devoured in no particular order: Lemon with Crystallized Ginger, Roasted Strawberries with Brown Sugar & Balsamic, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip (and there was definitely peanut butter in this one), Blueberries with Cinnamon and Pineapple with Brown Butter & Pecans. Oh. My. God. Pure creamy, silky, smooth ice cream heaven! We will definitely be back. My husband even joined the Rewards program even though we're out-of-towners, that's how sure we are that we will be back lol. Come experience the amazing deliciousness for yourself! read more

What a fantastic find. Not your grandmother's ice cream store. The flavors are all delectable and the staff couldn't have been nicer, or more informative. Beautiful design too. Loved the wall graphics and lighting, and the tile floors. And in the ever diverse island that is St. Petersburg, it is LGBT+ owned and operated. Parking can be sketchy so pay attention to that! read more
