The torched marshmallows on top were such a fun touch! They really gave the ice cream an authentic s'mores flavor and feel, and it was such a creative presentation. It tasted like a campfire treat in ice cream form! Definitely a fun stop after shopping at the outlets. Not a lot seating but if it's a nice day you can sit outside and enjoy.

We were overwhelmed by the sheer amount of sweets from Arabic ice cream, to gelato, to homemade candies, to Dubai Chocolate bars, and so much more. I walked by a gentleman taking pictures of Dubai Chocolate croissants. I was chatting with him, Andre I believe is his name, about how I've been on a Dubai Chocolate kick and to my surprise he said I don't work here but I'm the creator of the Dubai Chocolate Baklava Arabic ice cream sandwich. He then proceeded to cut some fresh baklava, split that in half like an ice cream sandwich, added some Arabic vanilla ice cream, topped it with some fresh pistachio cream and kataifi, put the top of the baklava on, drizzled with pistachio and chocolate, then finished off with some crushed pistachios. One bite of this dessert had me floating on cloud 9. Absolutely an experience for your taste buds. Wow! You've got to try this. Wife and and I also shared an iced matcha with Ube that was vibrant in color and tasted wonderful. Overall we were very pleased with the top notch service from all of the kind staff. We will most definitely be back.

I am definitely in the minority here but I do not see the hype behind Bekdash. The ice cream always…read moretastes old and the baked goods are just okay. Not bad by no means but also not phenomenal. I can think of at least 7-10 places instantly that have better baklava which is a shame for a place with such a high reputation. Back when they first opened up, I remember the ice cream always tasted fresh and they were constantly hammering away at it as part of the experience, but that seems to have died down. Service isn't great in my opinion, they use the same serving utensils across many of the desserts so if you are allergic to nuts, be very cautious on anything you order here unless they get it immediately from a new container. Even when I questioned it, they did not want to open a new container and instead offered to clean the utensil even though the current product already had been cross contaminated. If you want a water cup to go along with your dessert, forget it, you have to buy a bottle. This just doesn't scream good customer service to me and instead I feel more as a consumer rather than a person; usually you feel like family in restaurants like this. Ambiance is 10/10, very clean and trendy; Instagram would approve.

The staff is knowledgeable but not friendly. Usually all of their desserts, while expensive, are pretty good but their newest scoopable cookie sundae was AWFUL. Like so bad where I am taking a star off. It was literally a crushed up already baked cookie that they microwaved and put a scoop of basic ice cream on top. It looked nothing like advertised and will go down as one of the biggest let downs I've ever had. The cookie is supposed to be pretty much raw, not fully baked... So if you want to try the latest and greatest dubai trends and pay a premium for other viral desserts, Roasted is your place. I for sure will come back for Turkish delights but that's probably it. Ps, skip that cookie sundae unless they get their act together!

Cute little old-school ice cream spot with a nostalgic feel and great prices for what you get. We ordered the upside-down banana split, and they definitely don't skimp on toppings. Loaded with bananas, few strawberries pineapple , chocolate, peanut, whipped cream, 2 cherries on top and both chocolate and vanilla ice cream. the ice cream itself was a little disappointing. Not particularly flavorful, and it was already pretty runny and melted by the time we got it, even though we ate it right away. The drive-through line was wrapped around the parking lot, so I'd recommend parking and walking up to the window for faster service. They also have a cute little outdoor seating area. Overall, great value and generous portions, but there are similar spots in Carrolwood and South Tampa with better-quality ice cream for about the same price. Still a fun little stop with that classic neighborhood ice cream stand charm

It's vanilla soft serve mixed with chunks of their delicious salted Nutella chocolate chip cookies, topped with more of their salted chocolate chip cookies & a Nutella drizzle. I've tried almost everything on their menu, and this has been my personal favorite to order every time I am there! Think -- a less mixed blizzard with cookie & Nutella globs to eat mainly with a spoon and both a straw for when it begins to melt. The store itself is adorable. Think pink neon lighting, velvet pink couches with fun cookie pillows, and a fun wall for photo opportunities. Recently they also added a super fun Photo Booth outside of their store! They even have a succulent in an ice cream cone shaped pot and a pink street sign on their wall that says "Bake'n Babes". It's all about the little details, and they did a phenomenal job decorating! I love that they have self service touch screens! Usually a staff member is present at the front and helps answer any questions you may have about the menu which is awesome! One recommendation would be to have a button in case you need anyone from the back, and to put the thermostat to be a little less chilly (I'm sure there's a reason for this!). Otherwise perfection!! I have been here probably about 20 times or more, and highly recommend!

I wonder if I'll ever get over my brain's nostalgia for Dippin Dots. But every few years, my mind…read moreis jogged back to my childhood where Dippin' Dots was the "ice cream of the future" served uniquely at theme parks. Well, the future is now, and Dippin Dots is everywhere. While walking around the outlet mall, I casually mentioned to my friend that I hadn't had Dippin' Dots in a while, and he convinced me to buy some. So I tried walking into the store. The employee was eating on the outside of the serving counter. When I walked into look at the menu, he seemed bothered by my presence, came around the corner of the counter, and never put on a mask. I ordered some chocolate Dippin Dots, and he served them to me without washing his hands. At this time, Pasco County has a mask ordinance in effect that requires all citizens to wear a face covering indoors save for a list of exemptions, But, according to the ordinance: "employees preparing or serving food or drinks, or having customer contact, must wear a face covering indoors," without exemptions. Also, I'm sure there's some regulation on food service employees washing their hands when returning from a break. Yuck.
