Great place for dessert or birthday cake! I'm a big fan of the pecan pie when it's in season

Smells super yummy when you open the door. Very old school chic inside. Very charming with its Victorian decorations and colors. Had the coffee, banana pie, a couple different cakes and macaroons. All were yummy... we were there alone for about 5 minutes and then I was a steady stream of people coming and going for the 30 minutes we were there. read more

Really cute place, lots of charm. Went with friends after lunch. The employee who helped us was wonderful- very helpful explaining all our choices. My husband and my friend both got the banana pudding tart and both said it lacked flavor, but I enjoyed my choice- a chocolate strawberry meringue dessert. Apparently there are ice creams available too. Oddly we didn't see pies. read more

Service 5/5: efficient! Super easy to talk to! Very friendly staff! Ambiance 5/5: cute place to have tea and dessert has some fun decor inside. Can sit down and read a book. Food 5/5: I got their pecan pie, turtle pie. Omg they are literally delicious. Every time I want dessert I wanna come back here. The hours are limited though. But every time they are open, I definitely want to buy a piece of pie because they're so good. read more

I love Chocolate Pi. I've been a fan since they were in South Tampa, and I'm so glad that they bounced back and closer to me! Their desserts are incredible, and they always have a wide selection. It's definitely a specialty dessert spot (the coffee isn't the best, but that's not their whole deal - try the teas!) The space is eclectic and perfect for what the shop is. It's reminds me of something that Aunt Bea from Ramona and Beezus would put together (complimentary). Service is usually fine, I have never had a problem or found them to be slow. I definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

This review is to help others avoid being disappointed. If you've been to a highly rated bakery in another city or one of handful of the local places that are on a similar level (DoughJoe, Elevenses, etc.), you'll be disappointed with the product here. I've tried their cakes, pies, macaroons. They are all 'fine'. I just get frustrated when a place does only a handful of items and they are fine with 'fine'. There is no excuse for that in the current information age. Making above average pastries is not a 'secret' in 2026. Buy a book/watch a YouTube video by Christina Tosi, Stella Parks, or Claire Saffitz and do what they do. The only explanation is they don't care enough to make the product better, which is typical of Tampa/Florida in general. Do better. read more

OMG! The cakes are magical. Considered licking the plate but my wife stopped me. Giant piece!!! read more

Adorable, local bakery and cafe in Seminole heights that serves homemade cakes, macaroons, desserts, and coffees. I love the antique/vintage decor of the place, and the owner is incredibly sweet. I stopped in late one evening for a sweet treat and she was very inviting and explained all of the different desserts that she had available. However, after hearing all of the hype about the delicious cakes, I felt like mine left much to the imagination. I hope that this was just a weird fluke. Dessert: I opted for a slice of the raspberry framboise cake which was served on cute china. But honestly the cake was pretty disappointing... the entire slice was extremely hard, almost as if the case it was stored in was too cold or it was presliced and sitting. Since I was dining in I didn't really have the time to allow the cake to come to room temp. The vanillabean buttercream was incredibly sweet and hard, and the vanilla bean cake itself was hard as well. I did enjoy the raspberries in between the layers and they added to the visual appeal. Drink: I ordered the Salted rose latte which was delicious and the presentation was beautiful! Would explore more of their lattes. Overall, I would give this place another try. The macaroons looked delicious. read more

I don't get the hype. I'm sorry. I know this bakery has been around for a long time and the owner has an impressive background but the cake simply wasn't that good. Too sweet, too dry and crumbly, and way too expensive. The chocolate pie was good, but the crust was as hard as a rock and pretty much flew across the table when I tried to cut into it. The ambiance is very vintage and cute, but that's about the only thing I enjoyed. read more

I attended an afternoon tea put on by Chocolate Pi with some girlfriends and we all loved it. It was a cozy atmosphere to get together and catch up. The tea selection was pumpkin chai, offered with cream and rock sugar. We enjoyed many savory treats: cucumber sandwiches, quiche, bacon and goat cheese macaron, caprese, ham macaron; and sweet bites: eclairs, pumpkin pie macaron, German chocolate macaron, walnut scone. My personal favorites were the quiche, bacon, and chocolate macaron. I would definitely come back in the future, for tea or some cake and pie! read more

Chocolate Pi is the ultimate sweet escape, especially during Valentine's Week! From their heavenly pineapple upside-down cake to the adorable chocolate heart macaron filled with delicious goodness, every bite was a little slice of dessert heaven. The cozy atmosphere and friendly owner made my visit even sweeter. Anyone else remember when Chocolate Pi was at Epicurean? It's so nice to see the business continuing on in the Seminole Heights community. Whether you're celebrating love or just craving something delicious, Chocolate Pi is the perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings! It is on the slightly pricier side ($20 for my slice of cake and macaron), so choose your indulgence wisely. But you'll be so happy you went for a visit. read more

Absolutely one of the best coffee and dessert places in Tampa bay. The owner makes the desserts herself and has picked out the decor as well. She has expertly curated tons amazing vintage furniture and other antiques with fun pops of pink to create the cutest atmosphere. She has one of the most unique coffee menus in the area, coming from someone who's tried them all. Her desserts are pretty & taste amazing. I would definitely recommend this spot for a date night. read more

It was cute. I got the pistachio praline cake. The banana ice cream and I got the raspberry vanilla cake to go. Very quite kinda empty

This was our first visit to Chocolate Pi and we are so very happy. Everything is sooooo good. We ordered slices of chocolate cake, Black & White cake, Raspberry cake, Chocolate Peanut Butter tart, Creme Brûlée, Espresso Macaron, Lavender Mocha, and a Salted Rose Espresso drink. The cafe is really cool and decorated with antiques. This is a very charming cafe that I recommend. The Lavender Mocha is with Dark chocolate which I love. read more

Chocolate Pi - Lemon Raspberry Macaron - Desserts Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Visiting from Boston and my friend from Tampa brought me here since it's her favorite bakery. I was very pleased Pistachio cake was so good.

We wanted a stunning cake for my parent's Golden Wedding Anniversary and that is exactly what we got. Not only that, it tasted great too...which is a hard to find combo usually when it comes to cakes (at least in my opinion). This was so moist and flavorful. Everyone loved it, again which is rare. The champagne flavor went perfectly with the theme. The owner was friendly and super easy it work with. Could not have asked for a better experience. Will definitely be back & refer to all my friends. Side note: the macarons had amazing flavor & texture and the Mocha lavender coffee is absolutely addicting! You've been warned read more

I'm mad it took me this long to try this place. It's absolutely adorable on the inside and the service is nice. I was disappointed the espresso machine was down when I went because I long to try one of the fancy looking lattes. I settled for a cold brew like latte which was OK. I'll definitely be back to try the cute lattes though! Other than that, the dessert is FANTASTIC. Their macarons are definitely in my top 3 best macarons in Tampa. Macarons are my weakness and I will be visiting this place quite often now to get them! read more

Our dessert at Chocolate Pie was a perfect cherry on top for our perfect dinner date night. I love the space and decor of Chocolate Pi. This was my first time since it has been in this location. We had the framboise cake which was so light and the raspberries complimented it well. We also had the strawberry shortcake latte. I felt like that was so extraordinary. Next time I want to try the exotica cake and the Brushed Suede Latte. What a perfect dessert spot!! So love it!! read more

The decor in Chocolate Pi is sweet with its hand-painted wall designs, old pictures on the wall, and lovely antique pieces. There is plenty of seating including little bistro tables and two benches with comfy pillows lining the walls with tables and chairs. There is a sweet, little teapot displayed that I wish that I could take home. This place would be a really nice place to come after dinner with your significant other, meet up with friends, or even come by yourself to work or read a good book. Now on to why we came here. The desserts and lattes. Well, the chocolate cake is delicious! It is the thickness of a brownie with a yummy buttercream icing. The cake was dense and moist. The icing was light with just the right amount of sweetness. The chocolate latte was "motherf***ing" delicious. That's how my friend described it. I mean, it was good! LOL! I also had the "Tutti Frutti" macaroon (I'm sure that's not the name) and the caramel and sea salt macaron. They were fresh, crispy, light, and yummy. I will definitely be back to Chocolate Pi. I'm glad I checked this place out. read more

The owner makes all the deserts herself, so I can appreciate the time and effort put into these lovely and delicious deserts. read more

I finally got to try this place! I got the charcoal latte (can't remember the name) but it was sparkly and pretty! We also got a salted caramel cake of some sort and that was also very tasty!

This is a must-visit sweets shop located in a ridiculously unassuming building in South Seminole Heights. The outside of the building does absolutely no justice to how cute this place is on the inside or how fabulous the treats taste in here. All of the deserts are made by the owner, featuring an array of beautiful cakes, pies, ice creams, and macaroons. My friend has an unrelenting sweet tooth, so we stopped in to check it out. We had such a hard time deciding on our order, but ended up deciding on a slice of the Brown Sugar Pie with Chocolate Chips, an espresso macaroon, and a birthday cake macaroon. We also ordered an iced tea and a warm tea. The owner served our tea at the table which was such a nice touch. The shop is clean and beautifully decorated with a variety of tastefully selected furniture and a beautiful array of tea cups, tea kettles, old cookbooks, and a collection of other lovely decor pieces. I highly recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys beautiful and tasty deserts in a gorgeous setting. read more

Came on a Friday night and the place was dead. The owner was blunt/brisk. For a place called chocolate pi it definitely had limited chocolate options. We ordered the chocolate creme pie and the framboise raspberry cake. Firstly, they were expensive $28 for two small slices. The raspberry cake was dry, stale, and icing was cloyingly sweet. The chocolate creme pie crust was also stale and very hard that we had trouble cutting into it. The chocolate itself was ok, rich creme but ultimately disappointing. Overall the place seems to be attempting to sell underwhelming pastries at a gourmet price. read more

Pros: Cute interior that feels almost like Victorian England. Friendly customer service. Framboise cake. (French for Raspberry). This is a vanilla cake with fresh raspberries layered through with pink frosting. The cake is one of the most dense cakes I've eaten. It was very different -very thick with few holes and less spongy than most vanilla cakes I've had (I don't know if that is due to the baking materials/process or refrigeration). The frosting was rich and creamy and raspberries were fresh. 3.5/5 Smores Chocolate Tart - This was a chocolate disc with a crust as the base. It was garnished with molten marshmallow approximately 3-4 inches in height. The chocolate was cold , rich and very delicious. The crust was flaky. The marshmallow was yummy, but I felt that made up the vast majority of the dessert rather than the actual tart . Still 4.5/5. Cons: Closed Sundays. The tart prices are not on their menu board, which listed cake, ice cream/drink/pi but not tarts. I mistakenly thought that the price was the same as the "pi", but was a little dismayed that the price was $11.50. When I asked the customer service about it initially, she did not mention that tarts were significantly higher than the other items. The cake slice was $7. Truth be told, I was expecting most of the items to be between $6-9 similar to Toffee House in South Tampa or Swah-rey in St Pete. I know that indie business use higher quality and higher costing ingredients, but still it's a bit much. The building is a nondescript one story off white building. When driving on Florida, it is kind of hard to spot especially when driving southbound. The building is on the northbound side of Florida avenue. I actually turned into the now defunct Refinery restaurant by accident . If you're walking its not an issue, but who walks in Florida? read more

Hands down, some of the best dessert I've ever had in my life. It's always super exciting coming here, there's new and unique flavors each time and they're all amazing! Just recently I got the brown sugar chocolate chip pie (not pictured because I ate it too fast), and everything about it was perfect. Super rich and decadent, with the most buttery crust. Definitely get ice cream with your cake or pie here too, because their graham cracker flavor is to die for. I can't wait for the next special occasion so I have an excuse to buy a whole pie for myself, seriously you gotta come here right now! read more

Chocolate Pi - Pie a la mode! - Desserts Near Me - Tampa, Florida

All I can say is I'm so glad Chocolate Pi is back! Now it's in Seminole Heights. Today was the grand opening and I was one of the first in the door thanks to an invite from my friend Charlie S. who hadn't had it before the S. Tampa closure last year. You can see from my photos that I kind of went nuts because I really missed the desserts especially the cake! I'm not going to lie I was pretty bummed that the coffee machine broke down before the grand opening because I was looking forward to the Matcha latte. It was clearly the best one I've had in town. So I have to admit that I tried to stay away as much as possible from the old south Tampa location And I was only going there to give myself a treat once in a while to reward myself for specific goals. However last year on Valentine's Day after dinner I told my husband hey let's go to chocolate pie I want a cake. To my surprise chocolate pie was gone. So glad that a year later it's back in this year I'll be able to have a chocolate pie for Valentine's Day! As soon as that coffee machine is fixed I'm coming right back in! No more trying to stay away because this is so good and I've missed it. When I have a craving I'm just coming in forget rewarding myself for reaching goals! read more

They're back! They're back! And better than ever. Seriously. This time around they have easier parking in the form of their own parking lot, and a bigger store, with lots more room to hang out and consume all the deliciousness. I stopped by on opening day, and it was so organized, you could tell they knew what they were doing. There were plenty of macrons to be had, and I went with one of my favorites, the salted caramel macaron. Perfection. I also got a piece of their Framboise cake, which is my favorite one here, although the blueberry cake is a close second. It was just as good as I remembered, which is actually unfortunate, because now there is the possibility I will end up eating it every week. Their coffee machine was broken at last check, but hopefully it will be fixed shortly, as I remember their coffee options being crazy good too. Welcome to Seminole Heights Chocolate Pi! read more

Cute little sweets and coffee place that has amazing macaroons, cakes, ice cream and lattes. I'm so glad they opened up again because their glitter lattes were very unique! We had an assortment of macarons but sadly they didn't have any coffee when we visited. It's a very quiet place and would be good to work or study from but bring your devices charged since I didn't notice any outlets. The staff is very friendly and even gave us free water bottles since they didn't have coffee when we visited. I highly recommend if you want a unique sweet experience. read more

Too cute and so good. A bit of construction going on in the area so it was not the easiest to get to. It was so worth it though. The service was great and she's a mind reader. Something on my face must have said even though I'm getting this to-go it's getting eaten in the car. She laughed when I asked "how could you tell?". The decor is nice and I can't wait to bring my staff here. This is a good place to meet a client instead of bucks of star. read more
