So many options you can pick from or customize and make your own. This location is the first one in the area, they also had a location in Palm Harbor that unfortunately closed. The fave location is down by Bradenton/ Sarasota in Ellenton. All are very tasty and light and def so many diff flavors! Great service here and lots of coloring pages on the wall of Vampire Penguin.

Great flavors, with all the topping choices you could ask for when you want a custom dessert. Everytime I leave here I think about coming back and trying more next time.

Key line was a great flavor for regular ice cream. No clue if they offer real ingredients or corn syrup but it's a clean, fresh location and you get a triangle of cone on the side, which is great. This is a place we'll stop when driving by and craving ice cream but nowhere we've found in the area is somewhere that's dairy fresh fantastic with real whipped cream. I do like how you get to try the flavors with a real spoon provided.

The staff were extremely friendly and patient as I had not clue what to order. I ended up getting a scoop of their deepest darkest chocolate secret and a scoop of the marshmallows cookies and caramel. My boyfriend ordered the caramelized bananas with peanut butter and honey and refused to share more than a bite and it was outstanding. The flavors are all made in house and extremely delicious. You can taste the quality and care that goes into the ice cream. As well as the quality of their ingredients. They also sell dessert bars which honestly looked out of this world but we did not have room left. The pricing here is extremely reasonable for the size and quality you get. Parking is tight as it is a few spots right off a main road on either side. But there is a small parking lot a bit further down. There is limited indoor and outdoor seating here but it is a must try if in the area!

We are so excited to have one in Seminole by us the only thing is it's right next to gym! Lol,Just walk away after your work out! Haha! There is plenty of parking here and next to movie theater so if you bring your movie tickets you get 10% off of your ice cream after movie! There are plenty of restaurants here too as well such as outback and Millers, and BBQ.What I really love about cold stone is the options to mix and add anything you want! My favorite is the peanut butter galaxy with chocolate ice cream and Reese's peanut butter candy! All of their ice cream is home made and for Birthdays they have ice cream cakes and cupcakes too now.You can also sign up for their rewards program to earn free ice creams!

This was our second visit, and I can confidently say Clint and Victoria make every trip memorable…read more They are incredibly friendly and genuinely appreciative of both the local community and newcomers. It truly feels like the coziest mom and pop shop. There are so many flavors to choose from, and the ice cream is homemade. We ordered junior scoops of toasted coconut and peanut butter chocolate in bowls. While it is on the pricier side, we paid $13 for two juniors, the portions are generous and absolutely worth it. The scoops are large, and the ice cream is unbelievably creamy and rich. Easily some of the best we have ever had. One serving is honestly enough to share between two people. Keep in mind there is no seating, but that is part of the charm. It makes for the perfect stop to grab a sweet treat before heading to the beach for sunset!

The staff is always super kind and friendly, there is so much ice cream to choose from, and their grilled hotdogs on grilled buns are so good. They come with a bag of chips and are the perfect pre or post-beach snack. Lately, we've been adding a canned sangria to the mix. The back patio with the beach breeze is my favorite. This is old-school beach joy.

I'll "bury the lead story", by starting with: Kooky Coconut is a small cute shop on Gulf Blvd, the…read moremain street in Indian Rocks Beach FL, just a block from the beach. They have "the only shell shop in Indian Rocks Beach", with all sorts of trinkets and souvenirs. We had ice cream cones, one with luscious toasty toasted coconut, and a vanilla with big sweet cherry pieces. The real headline here? Kooky Coconut makes a great Cuban Sandwich. We come here pretty often. We love their "Tampa" version: Roast pork is marinated in a traditional mojo sauce mainly of orange, lemon, lime, plenty of garlic, some mint and oregano. It's tender, a little sweet, and very flavorful. It's sliced thin and layered with ham, Genoa salami, and Swiss cheese. And the sandwich is pressed and crispy-toasted in fresh handmade Cuban bread. Very rich! They brag, and we agree. This was again delicious, and it's our go-to, and in part that's because their smaller 4.5-inch Cuban is only $7.25! You can get up to a 12-inch for $16. (Jan 2026). They have a variety of Cuban-sandwich spinoffs including an Island version with mojo-marinated meats and pesto sauce, a Chicken one and a Chicken & Pesto, and even a Reuben Cuban with corned-beef, sauerkraut, Swiss-cheese, & reuben-sauce! They make burgers, veggie-burgers, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, bowls, veggie versions of those, chips, guacamole, hot-dogs, and even crab-cakes! They have shakes and malt-flavored malteds, floats and smoothies, soft-drinks, beer & wine, hot-chocolate, espresso, coffee, decaf, affogato ice cream with espresso, almond-milk, coconut-milk, and good rich ice cream, sherbet, and sundaes, too, in around 20 flavors. When we went this time (Jan 2026), we ate at their umbrellaed tables where we could see the sunset sky. There's outdoor seating for around 45, indoor seating for maybe 8 more, and parking for about 8 cars for their customers. They don't have any extra parking for a walk on the beach, even if you bought something, so please don't do that to them. Don't worry. There is beach parking nearby, and there's a $5-per-day trolly between Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach that stops half-a-block away. Look for the bright sun symbol on a round blue sign. You could eat here under $12, every day for a month, and never get the same thing twice! And they have really nice staff making and serving all this delicious fare. We always make time for Kooky Coconut :-)
