It was delectable . I did not go wrong. They sold everything from regular coffee, espresso, tea, frozen lemonade, wine, beer, frozen, hot chocolate! Also, if you were hungry, they sold a few different kinds of snacks. While you were waiting on your drinks or snacks, they had a whole entire back of the store that you could look at. It had handmade items by local artists. Consisting off of things from necklaces & earrings, to photographs and shell art. What a wonderful eclectic store. I will be back if I'm in the area.

Just be a smidge patient. That said, the service overall is very polite. I went for coffee and then a couple hours later when back for a gluten free coffee cake and the worker (maybe owner(?)) remembered me. Give it a try and support local!

The coffee was good and service was personable.

Avocado toast etc. plus homemade muffins and pastries. The service was perfect! Highly recommend checking this out if you are in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island.

I absolutely love a place that will bring consistency through and through, and this place really seems to do that. I will definitely be back.!!!

They didn't have rocky road so there was a pretty interesting conversation on what's the closest ... They had a lot of candy which I didn't really skim through since I was super focused on the ice cream flavors. They had 3 different types of cones cake, sugar and waffle. The staff were really friendly. The Ferris Wheel structure part of the window display is super cool. The ice cream is real smooth and creamy. Gold mine had caramel, vanilla and Chocolate but I didn't find it too heavy. Bang for your buck and you get what you asked for.

In a gluten-free cone, was paired Pistachio and Cappuccino. The pistachio was smooth, nutty, and authentic, not overly sweet, while the cappuccino delivered a perfect coffee kick with a velvety texture. The cone held up well and didn't get soggy, which is always a plus for gluten-free options. The gelato shop was cozy and quaint, perfect for a pick me up! The ladies at the gelato shop let us try as many flavors as needed before choosing the perfect combo. PS I do not recommend the Oreo or dark chocolate flavors. Yuck.

I spent near $30 and most of it went to the trash as they were hard and not fresh at all. There was only one young man working, and while nice, he seemed bored and uninviting. Needless to say, I wouldn't return unless they get a covered donut display at least.
