There aren't many ice…read morecream shops in the area that make their own ice cream in house, so it was refreshing to find one. The young staff greeted us as soon as we entered. After sampling some of the ice cream flavors, I decided on their coffee ice cream. It was smooth, creamy, and had a wonderful coffee flavor. My husband asked for a Coke float, which they don't normally serve but they made an exception. He basically ordered a vanilla ice cream in a large drinking cup and a bottle of Coke. He hasn't had a Coke float in years and was feeling nostalgic. Great spot!

My husband loved it and he does not give positive reviews lightly. I enjoyed the ice cream but I…read moredidn't feel like it was anything too special.

The building itself is worth checking out - giant ice cream cone architecture ?! Yes, please! The Elvis statue and the cool little classic cars are the bees-knees.

The pastel colors, spacious turf areas for play , picnic tables, and friendly staff make it feel like a vintage ice cream dream. The banana split was great , you get to choose from 3 scoops, fresh banana, classic sauces, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. Generous, delicious, and made with care. I prefer my ice cream a little less creamy, but still a delicious treat. Best of all, the pricing is very reasonable for ice cream . Just like our local favorite in Tampa, this spot delivers that timeless Dairy Joy Magic, simple, sweet, and the perfect way to end a sunny Florida day.

Their homemade ice cream is also AMAZING!!!! my favorite is the orange pineapple. Their portions are very generous. When ordering a single, you will get a heaping 2 scoops serving. We usually order a quart and take it home. The original store was unfortunately flooded by our last hurricanes Milton and Helene, but the community pulled it together and brought it all back fairly quickly. It is a must place for a visit. You will feel like a kid in a candy shop all over again

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!

I always try a wide variety, but my favorite flavor they have is the mint chocolate chip! Their cinnamon churro flavor is really great too.

The dragonfruit, sugar free by the way, is light yet refreshing and the cherry is well cherry lol I never am able to finish even half of my ice cream even with a small, but I was this time. Maybe do ti the creamy custard who knows haha Always satisfying at Rita's!

5-Star Review - My New Happy Place in North Redington Beach!…read more I'm always on the hunt for great local spots after a showing, and this time Yelp & Maps delivered a winner. After a successful client appointment, I was starving and searched for nearby restaurants -- "My Happy Place" popped up with a well-deserved-4.7 stars. I'm so glad it did! On a beautiful sunny (but surprisingly chilly) day, I rolled up to a cool tiki-bar vibe right on Gulf Blvd. The atmosphere is welcoming and laid-back, with outdoor seating warmed by heaters so you stay comfortable even on cooler days. I was immediately greeted by a super friendly gentleman (I believe one of the co-owners and the chef), who took the time to answer all my menu questions with genuine enthusiasm. He didn't hesitate when I asked for his top recommendation: the Blackened Grouper Sandwich ($17.98). He told me they source the grouper fresh every day from a local fishmonger, and it showed. I ordered it on a toasted brioche bun with tomato, lettuce, and their house-made remoulade sauce. It was fantastic-- flaky, perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and one of the best grouper sandwiches I've had in the area. All sandwiches come with kettle chips, and you can upgrade to potato salad or coleslaw for just $2. The menu has so many tempting options I can't wait to try next time: the California Chicken Wrap, thank Classic Patty Melt, Bahama Mama smoked sausage, and plenty of cold deli sandwiches like the Turkey Club and Tuna Salad on croissant. There's also a full "Cool Stuff" section with smoked fish spread and chopped salads if you're in the mood for something lighter. I already know I'll be back soon -- next time I plan to stay longer, enjoy the vibe, and pair my grouper with one of their cocktails. If you're in the North Redington Beach / Redington Beach area and looking for a fantastic lunch spot with fresh seafood, friendly service, and a relaxed beachy atmosphere, My Happy Place is a great place to visit. I'll be returning -- and recommending it to my clients!
