    $7 for iced brown sugar. Missing 1/3 of the cup, no brown sugar. Not it.

    $7 for iced brown sugar. Missing 1/3 of the cup, no brown sugar. 35 min wait. Not it. I'll just head back to Starbucks

    Staying at the hotel right by this and popped over for a quick lunch. They have a menu in addition to a specials board and the staff were friendly and quick service! I got the chicken cordon bleu sandwich - it was tasty but there really was not a lot of meat/ filling over all (a thin-medium layer in about 2/3 of the bread). Quick and tasty it's a great lunch spot!

    Gelato !

    Great little kiosk type cafe ... breakfast, coffee, gelato and baked goods. Quick service. Great variety. Really good cappuccino gelato! Which was my mid morning treat. Sandwiches looked great. They have a a nice seasonal coffee menu too. To go or eat there at their outdoor area. No frills but easy. Nice views from their outdoor patio! Great location right on the bridge too.

    Found the perfect place for breakfast at lunch, because I'm jet lagged. The service is amazing, the food was delicious and the coffee was perfect. This was the perfect place for breakfast for lunch with a view.

    Fast Jacks was a great, quick to-go coffee/breakfast option when I was in the area recently for a conference. It's very affordable, and had great breakfast specials/combos too. Pro-tip is that you can call-in your order so that you don't need to wait--the stand is a bit small (big shout-out to the staff for making my visits so pleasant!) so it can get busy quite fast if there are many orders piled up. I highly recommend Fast Jacks!

    This is the perfect little spot to grab coffee and sit by the bay. There seasonal coffee flavors on their chalk board always catch my eye and interest. It seems like when I go it depends on who makes the coffee and how busy it is because sometimes it's just good and sometimes it's great. The food and gelato are good too! I had the spiced apple latte with almond milk and iced maple white chocolate latte with almond milk the last few times I went. Cuban bread and butter hit the spot. So simple yet so good! Staff is always polite. I can't help but come here everytime I'm in Tampa.

    Gelato and a nice stroll! Delicious gelato, very reasonably priced & friendly staff!!

    One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ordered in a while. My boyfriend and I stopped here to grab a bite to eat. Portion size was definitely worth the price!! Would 100% recommend!!!

    It's not much to look at from the outside, but it's worth a stop. :)

    What is a Gelato stand by day is actually a great spot to grab a "to go" breakfast in the morning. Fresh made eggs, bacon, cuban-pressed sandwiches, and more, along with coffee, espresso, etc. And...you can get it for less than $10. When the line at Starbucks is 40-persons long, walk over the bridge, enjoy a view of the boats, and grab a well-made carry out breakfast at Fast Jack's. PS - Food comes in to go containers, but the 3 days I was here (Dec 2021) I grabbed an outside seat at the affiliated Jackson's Bistro & Bar, and enjoyed a view of the water.

    Cute spot- has coffee, pastries, breakfast, sandwiches and ice cream! This place stays busy but they are fast and efficient! Stopped by for a coffee and was surprised they served many hot breakfast items. Had the breakfast special which was only $4.50! Great deal considering the area. The mocha Cuban was delish! Then to top it off - nice views!

    Convenient spot for a quick lunch hot breakfast. Prices are OK, but the food is really good considering it's a walk up window. They share a kitchen with the parent restaurant Jackson's. The steak sandwich, and the Cubans are probably the best items. They also make a breakfast sandwich on a cinnamon bread that is delicious.

    Stumbled across this place for a break while attending the APEC Convention at the Tampa Convention Center. A nice little walk up shop for dessert, coffee, teas, sandwiches. Along the Riverwalk located on the other side of the bridge from the Tampa Convention Center. The server Chrissy was really helpful and let me taste as many samples of the gelato as I wanted. A small gelato you can mix up to 3 flavors and a large gelato up to 4 flavors. I ordered a small gelato, strawberry and chocolate which was about $3-buck-something. Especially with the hot humid Florida weather and the nice view along the Riverwalk it was nicely located and convenient. This place is good for a lite snack.

    Gelato hit the spot on a warmer afternoon walk back to the hotel. Wasn't to keen to try the coffee though so can't speak to that.

    Amorino in Tampa is so good. Their gelato is super creamy and you can tell it's high quality the…read moresecond you try it. It actually tastes authentic too--which I say as someone from Italy. I usually go for a mix of flavors and it's always fresh and flavorful without being overly sweet. The rose-shaped gelato is cute, but honestly it's the taste that keeps me coming back. Price is a bit on the higher side, but worth it for a treat. The staff is always nice and patient even when there's a line. Parking can be a little annoying depending on the time, but I've usually managed fine. Definitely one of my favorite dessert spots in Tampa.

    Yay! FINALLY a gelato spot at the International Mall! It's been years since Duomo Gelato has come…read moreand gone, so I'm super stoked to finally get a chance to try Amorino Gelato. Even better is that they have chocolate hazelnut, and I'm always on the lookout for anything hazelnut, which seems to be something of rarity outside of Europe. Suffice to say, Amorino's gelato did not disappoint! Smooth, creamy, refreshing, with that distinct hazelnut flavor mixed with the bold complex taste of their coffee gelato (i got two flavors in one cup). The girls behind the counter were very nice and helpful and managed to swipe my card since I'm not able to pay via app??!! (you have to order and pay via kiosk) and it was overall not a problem. They have cute little outside tables that are shaded to give you more of that European sidewalk cafe feel. My ONE regret was getting a cup that was maybe a tad too small. I can't remember if I can size up, if so, I'm getting a bigger cup.

    Terrific place for gifts!…read more I got an email from Yelp recently, telling me about places I should go visit. I saw this Chocolatier in Carrollwood and knew I needed to visit. Located on N Dale Mabry, in the same plaza as Burger 21, Peterbrook Chocolatier is open most days until 8 or 9 PM (except Sundays). This is very convenient for a busy person like myself. I rolled in around 7 last night, and was warmly greeted by Pam. I told her I was looking to get some gifts to show appreciation for some folks and she showed me the most popular items, and then gave me freedom to wander and collect. These folks cover so many things is chocolate. Potato chips, Oreos, Graham crackers, espresso beans, malt balls, raisins, gummy bears, toffee and so much more. They have a very large selection of ready to go baskets full of goodies for Valentine's Day, or you can have one custom made with treats you know your sweetheart will adore. They also have a case of beautiful chocolates you can have boxed (they have heart ones for the holiday!) and Gelato for a yummy snack. I bought a few extra things for myself, and I must say, the chocolate is delightful. I tried the dark chocolate covered candied oranges and they were fantastic. Highly recommend visiting this place for a tasty treat for yourself or someone else.

    The wonderful smell of chocolate when you walk in is intriguing! They make all chocolate in house…read more We were greeted upon entering and the staff member was so friendly, even gave us a sample of their turtle. Which was delicious. I got Chocolate covered pretzel rods, peanut butter cups, malt balls and Dubai chocolate. All extremely delicious! They just opened in June. Located doors down from Burger 21.

    Paciugo is very much a "walk around Beach Drive with a gelato and suddenly life feels cinematic"…read morekind of place. The second the Florida heat becomes unbearable, this is where everyone ends up. And honestly? Valid. The gelato is actually good, not just cute-for-Instagram good. The pistachio and dark chocolate flavors deserve their loyal fanbase, but the real danger is the free samples because suddenly I'm standing there trying seven flavors like I'm a professional gelato critic. The vibe is peak St. Pete at night. People walking by with their dogs, couples on dates, groups lingering outside way longer than planned. It somehow feels both lively and weirdly relaxing at the same time. Also an affogato here after dinner just feels like good decision making.

    Paciugo Gelato and Caffe is such a great local spot. We stopped by on a Saturday night around 8:00…read moreand the line was out the door, which was a great sign. Even with how busy it was, the staff kept things moving and the wait was well worth it. We tried the coffee gelato and it was absolutely incredible. The flavor was rich, creamy, and tasted like real coffee without being too sweet. Every bite was delicious. The prices are a little on the higher side, but I love supporting local businesses, so it is worth it to me. The quality speaks for itself, and I can see why this place stays so busy. I will definitely be back to try more flavors.

Just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the coffee. Coffee was a good price as well. The ambiance of this place is pretty laid back. A good spot to hangout and catch up with friends. All in all, a spot I would come back to in the future :)

    I'm disappointed not only with the food but also with the way my complaint was handled…read more I ordered the Dubai Chocolate Cup through delivery and paid over $40 for my order. The promotion was buy one, get one free, but that should never be an excuse to lower the quality of the dessert. Instead of receiving what was advertised, I got a cup that was almost entirely filled with dry kataifi pastry. There were only three strawberries, and they were not fresh. There was barely any chocolate or pistachio filling compared to the amount of dry pastry. When I left an honest review about my experience, the owner accused me of lying and claimed that the security cameras showed eight strawberries in my order. I have photos of exactly what I received, and they clearly show otherwise. I have no reason to make up this experience. I simply wanted to share what I actually received. Instead of apologizing or trying to resolve the issue, the business chose to accuse a customer of being dishonest. That level of customer service is just as disappointing as the quality of the dessert. I would not recommend this place.
