Marquese C.

The Cheesecake Fantasy was a great choice that provided a fulfillment to my sweet tooth. The service was very pleasant. Nice ambiance, even better ice cream. Yum!!

a hand holding a cup of ice cream
Jen C.

Got a cup of Oreo Overload and a cup of Birthday Cake Remix. The ice cream was on the verge of melting as soon as served. One appeared to have been mixed incorrectly as it was full of ice crystals which made for an unpleasant texture. The other had so many toppings that the base ice cream was completely masked. Overall disappointing ice cream. The service was good, the workers were definitely hustling and for that I'll give 3 stars.

Melted ice cream sent to me
Darby H.

I ordered from Bite Squad and had a terrible experience. They were "preparing" my ice cream for 50 minutes. The estimated time kept changing to later and later. When I finally received the two ice cream bowls I ordered, one was melted and completely liquid and warm. The other looked like it had just been made. The melted one was so gross and I was so disappointed, especially after having waited so long. Not to mention they don't wear gloves. Ever.

Gotta have it raspberry cheesecake
Krystle M.

Regardless of whatever innovative, clever, scrumptious looking ice cream concept pops up in the South Tampa area, I will always, always, always return to Cold Stone Creamery for its aromatic, divine tasting waffle bowls and its decadent, rich Cheesecake flavored ice cream. Ever since I discovered the stone via Maggie Moos and later Marble Slab, Coldstone has always held a special place in my heart. This particular location shares a parking lot with Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Moes, and a few other businesses. Admittedly, parking isn't the best; sometimes I have to circle several times and eventually settle into a spot closer to Burger Monger. But the hassle is well worth it. I stay true to my and my mother's tradition of cheesecake with raspberries (I go light on the raspberries so as to not overwhelm the cheesecake flavor). The Sweet Cream flavor is also a nice substitute for the Cheesecake. Tonight this location was out of waffle bowls but the employees working offered me a waffle cone in a bowl as a substitute. It was a great idea except for the fact that the cone itself was stale. Overall, I will always explore new and out of the way ice cream venues but will continue to return to Coldstone every time my taste buds crave it!

Peanut Butter Playground Ice Cream Cake
Michelle M.

After several disappointing experiences I have decided that I am not a fan of Cold Stone Creamery. The prices are outrageous and the ice cream just isn't that good. There are so many ice cream/gelato/frozen yogurt options in Tampa so this is not my normal spot to grab a frozen treat. I made an exception recently and visited Cold Stone for their ice cream cakes. I purchased a Peanut Butter Playground Ice Cream Cake for my husband and was disapointed in the quality. The mini ice cream cake (feeds 6) is $23 and tastes like it has been sitting in the freezer for a couple of weeks. The combination of chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake and chocolate ganache were too sweet and I was disappointed in the lack of peanut butter. I think the cookies and cream or the cookie dough cake would have been a better choice. For the prices and lack of quality I would skip Cold Stone and go elsewhere.

Dirty staff member

Staff is rude and lacks hygiene! Disgusting! It would take me too long to explain what happened when I tried to order ice cream from him. I will never be back and he should be fired. Tonight couldn't be too soon. PS He outright said he tampers with food when he doesn't like a customer like myself

The empanadas are so delicious! I came in for my daughter…read moreand I to get a sweet treat. We had never been before so we were excited to try their food. The shop is a decent size with a good amount of seating inside and out. I knew they served baked goods but when I saw empanadas on the menu I had to try one. My daughter got a sprinkle cookie and we also split a guava croissant while I waited for the empanada. Both treats were delicious I really loved the guava croissant it was perfectly flaky. The empanada I order was beef and cheese and when it comes out it's hot and has a cool stamp on the crust. This empanada was crispy and the filling was very tasty. So good I wish they were closer to me.

My friend and I are working through as many cinnamon roll spots as we can in tampa bay and St Pete…read more There were lots of reviews saying they had the best and I can agree, they are top notch! Cinnamon roll - 8.5/10 the frosting was perfect and thick! One of the better cinnamon rolls I've come across! S'more cronut - 5/10 this was dense, hard on the outside, overly sweet, and I didn't love the filling flavor. Breakfast empanadas - 7/10 tasty! Def recommend! Empanada dough was flaky and delicious. Filling was dry but still flavorful. Strawberry croissant - 8.5/10 yes! Lovely texture! Amazing flavor. Definitely get the croissants! The service was wonderful! Everyone working there is lovely. The bakery itself is adorable! Very small so seating goes quick and line gets long but they move people through the line fast. Definitely recommend going! Well worth the stop!

Sucre Table is tucked in a nook Tampa, FL. Owned by the passionate pastry chef, Brenda Villacorta,…read morethe bakery combines her love for baking with a commitment to quality ingredients, creating a unique tasting and visual experience for customers. Sucre Table is known for their array of pastries but also have an amazing cup of coffee, croissants, and macarons. Also, you can order cakes and pies for any occasion. Brenda Villacorta brings a wealth of experience to her bakery, having trained under renowned chefs Jean George and pastry chef Dominique Anse. She previously served as Head Pastry Cook at Le Bernardin. Le Bernardin boasts three Michelin stars and ranks as one of the best dining experiences in the world. Sucre Table is not just for its delicious offerings but also for the passion and dedication that Brenda pours into her craft. Whether you're stopping by for a morning pastry or ordering a custom cake, I would make this a one stop shop for any dessert or pastry..

Absolutely recommend. 20/10 no notes!!!…read more Tucked into a plaza, I've seen this spot so many times and finally was able to check it out. The inside is a decent size with tables, cute decor and lots of plants. When I first walked in, I was taken back by how beautiful the pastry display cases were!! I had the hardest time choosing which pastry to get because they all looked like works of art!! Super friendly staff, great service but now to get to the goods: the coffee and pasties. This is a true authentic French bakery, no doubt in my mind. The iced salted caramel latte is the best I have EVER had. I could taste every flavor and it blended with the coffee perfectly. The ham and cheese croissant was so flakey, the perfect ham ratio and just all around fantastic. The pastry I got had raspberry jam and white chocolate ganache (I don't remember the name of it) and it was seriously the best pastry I've ever had. Most pastries can be too sweet, but this was just right. The jam tasted fresh and homemade (probably is!) and the white chocolate ganache gave it just a touch of sweetness. It is a little pricey so be warned: $48 for two coffees and two pastries. Definitely worth a splurge!!

We chose Hands on Sweets for our daughter's wedding and groom's cake based on 5-star Google reviews…read moreand we were not disappointed. There is no doubt that they are a talented, creative, and highly professional team and can custom design and bake your dream cake too. Chefs Marie and Carlos were able to take my somewhat scattered ideas and turn them into an artistic, culinary reality - personalized especially for the newlyweds. Chef Marie made a huge effort to simplify the experience for us. It went from stressing out to stress free. Being a "big" surprise to the couple complicated by our being out-of-state parents, made it extremely difficult for us, yet they handled everything to the last, perfect detail: contacting the venue, delivery, setting up, etc. My only task was to drop off the cake topper and some custom decorations. I can't say enough about Chef Marie's patience and flexibility. We began with a traditional wedding design but then discovered the wedding venue was a rustic theme. Three months of emails later, Chef Marie was able to switch gears, start from square one, and produce an elegant (and fun) cake duo, complimented by tree bark and rope pedestals, a luscious cascade of sugar flowers set against frosting ferns, with custom accents on the serving pieces. The bride's cake was an amazing Vanilla Chiffon Cake with Vanilla Bean Buttercream frosting and the groom's cake was Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache on the top tier and Chocolate Buttercream on the bottom. I hope they post photos so you can see how beautiful, creative and scrumptious, the cakes were. Truly, next to the bride and groom, they were the centerpiece of the reception room. My daughter received compliments from women and men throughout the evening. (At one point the groom and his friends stood around his cake, just fascinated, and talked about how cool it was.) In my daughter's words, "Mom, the cakes were a Hit." That, was our goal. Hands on Sweets made it happen. And we are grateful.

We have used them the last four years for our Annual School Auction. The desserts are amazing…read more Their attention to detail is impeccable. And they are so professional and kind. I

If it was just the bakery, I would give it 5 stars!…read more Very nice location, definitely immediately impressed when you walk in. I ordered the Cuban sandwich $15, a small canoli $3, a small cupcake $3, pineapple muffin $3.95, tres leches $3.95, and a specialty cake big enough for 21 people $45. Bakery items were fairly priced, and were high quality. This bakery knows what they are doing when it comes to this part. Except the tres leche, they don't know what they're doing there. Too dry, needs more of the 3 milks. It's literally supposed to be soaked in that milk concoction. The bakery counter is too tall, so I had to stand on my tippy toes to pay I'm 5' tall. Everyone standing around in no apparent order. There is a ticket system apparently? Once I saw it I grabbed a ticket hoping that would solve the problem. After about 5 minutes I realized they weren't even using it. So other people that were there after me were being taken care of. Then I had to awkwardly make the counter people aware that I needed help. They were very nice though, and prioritized me once they realized. The Cuban sandwich tasted good, but the bread wasn't the best. It was $15 with no sides and it was thin. Yes it's 9", but it's a really narrow 9". I would never order it again. Too expensive, and little value. Kinda mad I spent that much on a little sandwich, but lesson learned! I'm used to a $10 Cuban that is fat and tasty. So yeah, this was a disappointment. Overall I'll be back for the bakery! So many great options, all high quality and nicely put together. Everything else is too expensive and a hard pass.

I visited Alessi for lunch and was excited to try it. The bakery is large and well organized, with…read moreseparate sections for the bakery, cafe, deli, bar, and pizza counter. I ordered a Cuban sandwich from the deli counter. Unfortunately, it was cold in the center, which made me think it had been made ahead of time and reheated instead of fresh.
