If you love the Dubai chocolate trend and looking for a sweet treat, you gotta come stop by funky sweets!! We had dinner at Wrigley's and decided to head over to funky sweets for a dessert afterwards. We looked over the menu and honestly we were blown away. We did not know what we were getting ourselves into. They had funnel cakes, waffles, brownies, ice cream, and even Boba. We decided on funnel cakes because it's rare to find them and of course they had a Dubai chocolate that sounded amazing so we got that also we got a Dubai chocolate brownie and a banana pudding funnel cake. Everything came out within a few minutes and the flavor was so good especially on the funnel cake. It was cooked perfectly in the pistachio and chocolate drizzle on top really brought it together. Definitely will be coming back again soon. read more

Couldn't make a simple substitution and laughed about it when I made the request. It's okay if you didn't want to do it but being rude about it was unnecessary. Will never eat here again and will stop telling friends about it as well. read more

Nice place. Very sweet. Its a bit muggy in there almost to the point of sticky, like they don't want use the air conditioner. I think that would be better for business and their food product as a chef. I don't EVER discriminate but I did see someone back there making something not using gloves. I know their culture is different I just hope it was being made for them. I made sure it wasn't mine or we would have had a problem. Little on the pricey side as I paid $11.95 for this small strawberry cup and gave $1.00 tip. I think they profit enough on me. It is a good strawberry cup I will give them that. read more

S'mores funnel cake was delicious and super fresh! Their funnel cakes come in two sizes. We opted for the larger size which was plenty big enough for two people to share and came out to about $12. The inside was pretty dirty and just looked run down. They have board games and a few table games, neither of which we played. The display case showcasing the different sizes of funnel cakes had a ton of small flies in it which was pretty gross. I feel like the inside could use a bit of a revamp. read more

A very funky experience indeed! The food was amazing, but everything else about our experience here was pretty wack. We got scoops of apple strudel and caramel caribou ice cream, a cinnamon butter funnel cake, and fried cinnamon rolls. The ice cream was great, really thick but still creamy! The apple strudel flavor tasted EXACTLY like an apple pie, and the caramel caribou had a ton of toffee/caramel goodness. As for the funnel cake, I was shocked at how much I liked it considering I never really liked funnel cake. Tastes just like the best kind you'd get at the fair, and the amount of toppings and cream was perfect. Finally the cinnamon rolls, good but could've been better. I would've loved to see more frosting either drizzled on top or inside the roll because if there was some, I couldn't really taste it. The texture/consistency though was good. As for everything else, it was kind of a mess. I was very surprised to see that at the counter there's two tablets you can order from, which would've been a great idea had both of them been working instead of just one. The one we were using didn't have a working credit card reader, so we had to wait to use the other one. I was also happy to see a lot of people there having fun on a Saturday night, then I realized it was probably so crowded because of the place being severely understaffed. We probably waited about half an hour for our food (including the ice cream, which was weird because most places just scoop it right then and there once you order it). It got to a point where no one was playing the foosball tables or talking, just staring at the counter waiting for their food, which was hilariously uncomfortable. The place itself has probably seen better days too, floor was sticky, and the tables and couches looked pretty stained. I was excited to play some board games while we waited, but pretty much all of the boxes looked like they had been ripped apart. I was really happy to find a unique dessert place, but the overall experience was just kinda painful. If you are really desperate to find funnel cake and other fair foods then this is the place for you. If you just want to grab something sweet, I suggest looking elsewhere. read more

Holy cow!! This place makes delicious funnel cakes! The best I've had. Cute place too!! There are stacks of board games to play! Great service from Dhavya ! She was so helpful and kind. We had planned to get the Turtle Funnel Cake ...which we did...but we also got the small Plain funnel cake with just powdered sugar on it. Their batter... the flavor..it is so very yummy! The turtle funnel cake was extremely delicious and rich. Surprisingly, the plain funnel cake with the powdered sugar was our favorite. It's just such a delicious batter and went enhanced by that powdered sugar, it created something amazing! We live in Tampa...we are pretty grateful that this place is not in our neighborhood or else we'd be in trouble! We will definitely be back!! read more

Very good funnel cake even when delivered. They had a 2 for 1 deal which really made it a good deal. The waffle lost some of its crunchiness from the long Uber drive. I drop it a star because there was a mixup with the order, otherwise I recommend Funky Sweets. read more

Passed on this place several times because the exterior wasn't appealing (and it's still not my kinda thing for ambience) but the service, selection, and quality of the ice cream is quite good. read more

There were plenty of options. My friends and I each got something different to share. The dubai chocolate and theme was very good. I quite enjoyed it. The owners were also nice and asked us if we were all set despite us all probably being loud and obnoxious. read more

The cheesecake was the bomb!!!! The funnel cakes were also good. But the manager was super sweet and came to ask us how to improve her product which was very sweet. Highly recommend! read more

If you haven't been you have to. This is a MUST! My son and I went t this evening to get something different and I was so happy we did. I tried to Dubai strawberries and I was blown away. The customer service from the employees was amazing. The place is very small, but there's plenty of seating and seating outside as well. We will definitely be back. read more

Coconut Boba with strawberry popping and the fried cookie dough Oreos and key lime pie is my absolute weakness!

I think the ice cream / dessert is ok! Service is the bad part for me. Lady at the front behind the area , rolls her eyes with door dashes coming in , looks mad doesn't look happy or enthusiastic at all. Won't be back because service isn't there. read more

Very good the Dubai cheesecake and strawberry cup are very good we came all the way from Tampa to try it! Worth the price also!

Funky Sweets immediately caught my attention with the bright, glowing exterior and funky 70s disco theme. It is a really unique place to go for a dessert, and had much more interesting options that your typical ice cream place. Their menu featured a selection of deep fried desserts, which you can get topped with ice cream. We got the turtle caramel funnel cake topped with birthday cake ice cream, and it was SO GOOD -- way better than your typical carnival funnel cake. The fried Oreos were also delicious, but the funnel cake definitely took the spotlight for us. The deep fried cheesecake on the other hand was a little strange in my opinion. The inside was no longer cheesecake, but was rather melted back down to a sort of gooey cream cheese. The interior of Funky Sweets has some really cool colorful LED lights and a large selection of board games to choose from. They also has two foosball tables in pretty good condition. We played several rounds, but it was a little tough because it was very hot inside and there was a big crowd of people waiting for to-go orders. Also, it took a little over a half hour to get our food because there was so many customers and few staff members. Overall, we had a great experience and I would definitely recommend it for a late night treat! read more

great experience. the server was very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend coming here!

We came from Port Richey to try this place out and it was definitely worth the drive the flavor combinations are out of this world!!!!!

After a long day on the beach, my family and I were looking for a sweet spot to cool us off. On TikTok, I saw rave reviews for Funky Sweets, so I had to check them out. When we walked in, it felt like we were in a time capsule with all the cool groovy colors, classic boardgames, and wonderful music playing. We were greeted by some very warm, friendly smiles, and given a rundown of the plethora of ice cream flavors to choose from. Funky sweets has multiple ice cream flavors plus multiple ways you can enjoy your ice cream such as having a multitude of toppings and/or enjoying the ice cream on top of a funnel cake. My favorite was the apple strudel ice cream. It was packed with caramelized apples, and graham cracker crust with smooth vanilla ice cream. My little cousin got the dreamsicle which had an orange cream flavor and she added gummy bears on top. Funky sweets has become one of my top restaurants in St. Petersburg, Florida. read more

Took over 20 minutes to get a boba tea. No sense of urgency. Bathroom is very disgusting too. Won't be back.

A fun 70's themed dessert location. The idea is great, I feel like there was a lot going on and although the games are great to have I think they need to be gone through, one's missing pieces removed and the rest organized. The gentleman working were very friendly and helpful. The funnel cakes were very light and the toppings great. I wish there was a location on my side of the state! read more

Overall Funky sweets had a really delicious funnel cake. It was not too sweet, not too dry, and the nuts added a really nice crunchy texture. The funnel cake was also pretty huge and was big enough for my wife and I to share. The service was overall well. The wait however was fairly long, but that was because there was only two workers at the time we went, and it was a pretty popular place. Now the ambiance is where I had the biggest critique. Firstly it was stuffy and humid which made it really hard to actually want sit and dine in. Secondly the place had a bunch of board games which was really cool, but we couldn't play any because it was too dark and the only light that we're on were different neon lights. Overall great food, good service, fairly long wait (for understandable reasons), and the place was dark and stuffy/humid. Definitely would recommend for the food! read more

The funnel cake was really good!! The workers were also very nice and welcoming, you got to customize the food with literally whatever you want to which was very worth the price of it and also the fruit they used was very fresh. read more

The name of the game here is fried- everything is fried, and I mean EVERYTHING. Well, maybe except the coffee, I don't reckon fried coffee would be all too good, but who knows... anyways, this place should really be called "Fried Sweets" because that's what they're serving up through and through. Okay, so maybe I'm being a little dramatic, but I'm really not. Funky Sweets is a 70s themed shop, and the atmosphere is one I have found nowhere else and is difficult to fully explain- low lights, abstract colors, disco balls and groovy music. Alright, back to the food- there's fried oreos, fried cheesecake, funnel cake, fried slices of cake, fried twinkies.. thought I was joking? There's also ice cream and coffee. I found it really neat that they sell Dark Canyon coffee, most people won't understand, but Dark Canyon coffee is a company in South Dakota where I am from and it's THE best. So many don't even realize the quality of coffee they are lucky enough to enjoy. My parents shared a funnel cake and it was definitely one of the best we've ever had. I got the fried red velvet cheesecake, and they offer a side of ice cream with it if you choose, so of course I chose. The cake itself, all fried things aside was pretty darn good. Considering this place sells mostly fair foods, it's probably about the best quality you can get. I wouldn't come here much because fried food can really upset my stomach but this is top notch funky fryin! read more

I'm visiting with family in the area. We have ordered dessert for carryout the past two evenings. It's been years since I've had a banana split. Haha. I had one Friday and Saturday night. We also had the apple caramel funnel cake and a couple of cups of ice cream. All of our dessert choices were delicious. Funky Sweets has an old time vibe. There are a couple of fuBball tables inside and Jenga pieces outside. There was one employee behind the counter and another employee in back that appeared to be frying the varying dessert choices. I will return. Who knows maybe on this trip. read more

Ordered from here using Uber and the waffle wasn't cooked. All through out there were chunks of raw sugar. We reached out to Uber, since the restaurant is not allowed to do anything due to Uber's contract. Uber refused to do anything to correct the issue. read more

Smells bad, very hot, food is highly overpriced, very dirty, looks run down and not like what most of the pictures look like. Took forever to make chocolate strawberries, chocolate poured over strawberries and boba (I will admit I was astonished by this, it was the worst boba I've ever had which is some kind of achievement). I don't understand how this place is even in business unless it's because they don't run the air conditioner and buy cheap quality goods. read more

This is a fun place in north St. Pete to get a sweet treat. They have about 30 flavors of ice cream or Italian ice, they have milk tea, and they have a bunch of fair (read deep fried) food. You can get fried Twinkies and funnel cakes on their regular menu, and they also have specials, like fried key lime pie. I had a taro milk tea with regular boba. I asked for reduced sweetness, but it was still too sweet. My kids opted for ice cream. The other customers there also only ordered ice cream, so I cannot comment on their fried desserts. The place also has a couple foos ball tables and a whole wall of different board games, so if you want to linger, you can. My issue is that the whole restaurant felt a little sticky and unclean, so I had no desire to hang out after I received my order. read more

I like to get funky and this is the place to do it... wow staff is so friendly and nice and service is quick.

amazing!! such great treats and amazing staff! love this place and come here all the time

If you want to wait 45 min for an ice cream and 30 more after for 4 deep fried Oreos. This is the place for you

Came here a lot throughout 2020 and 2021. Haven't been here in a bit and extremely disappointed they are not serving dippin dots anymore. Mini melts is just not the same. BRING BACK DIPPIN DOTS. Also, the woman who was always there to greet us and take our order immediately was not there this time. I don't remember ever having to wait to order because someone wasn't at the front. We sadly won't be returning. read more

Super yummy treats and ice cream and snowcones and funnel cakes and fried Oreos and fried other awesome things!! They have tons of ice cream options. Both the scoop ice cream and the frozen dots ice creams were fantastic. We had the Cookie Monster one. The fried Oreos were great and the funnel cake was delicious. The people were friendly and worked quickly to get our order out. We ate outside seating. Thee are tons of board games inside and giant Jenga is outside. read more

Thanks to Yelp, we discovered Funky Sweets, a dessert shop that's open late for some evening sinfulness! Funky Sweets is a 70's groovy dessert place with ice cream, Italian ices, coffee, deep fried goodies and games! I went with my family to get some ice cream and we were grateful for their late night hours. The kids got their choices of different ice creams, which I can confirm are all tasty thanks to the Auntie Tax (I had bites of everyone's ice cream muahaha). My fiancé and I got a funnel cake and a deep fried banana split for everyone to share as well. The funnel cake comes in 2 sizes: a small 4 inch and a large 8 inch. They have a long list of toppings you can add to personalize your funnel cake to your taste. The deep fried banana split comes with 2 scoops of ice cream, your choice. Both desserts were EXCELLENT, with generous portions. After we ate our ice cream, we played a few rounds of giant Jenga outside. The kids also played foosball inside before joining our game of Uno at the large tables in the back. Funky Sweets has a cabinet piled HIGH with lots of different board games, which is really nice of them to provide in this already family-friendly shop. The employees are very nice and fun-natured (they busted out giant afro wigs at one point) and they play 70's jams all night. My only complaint was that their air conditioning was not working that well; it was really stuffy inside the shop, which doesn't give you a respite from the Florida humidity. It's a groovy time at Funky Sweets. We'll definitely be back for more! read more
