Both were gluten free. Now I have to admit that the lox avocado toast was about 6.5/10 (as the avocado had that weird taste it develops when it sets out for too long), but the waffle was SUPER good, ESPECIALLY for a GF option. The coffee was decent. Customer service was good. Everybody was very friendly and attentive, from the cashier to the wait staff. I have to say that I also got an iced latte with coconut milk and I was ecstatic that they had the coconut milk option because I'm noticing that it's becoming less and less available. Now to the other things that I have tasted; I tried their chai chiller. Even though it was too sweet for my liking (I reckon it was made with chai syrup). However, I think it tasted great -and the spiciness really was coming through. Finally, the tried the morning glory baked item. It was good. The combination of coconut, carrots, cinnamon, and raisins worked well together. I also got an orange-something scone, but have not tried it yet. I will have to come back and update my review once I do. The place looks eclectic but it works! It also has a small gift shop at the entrance which is a good option if needed.

OMG! i could of called the health depeartment right there..but i just got up and walked out and left my ice cream that i bought there... dont these people know, about hand washing??? i could have them shut down for that i certainly will NEVER go back there..just a fair warning for anyone that think that they are a great place. i found it COLD and staff were RUDE and they dont WASH THEIR HANDS!! now i am feeling sick... read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place but it's not the same ice cream shop I used to love. We've been coming here for years but during our last trip this week to the shop the ice cream was downright awful. I had a raspberry sorbet and after 2 bites I threw it away. It tasted like nothing but pure sugar. One of my daughters had lemon sorbet and it was equally as awful with nothing but a sugar taste. I assumed maybe they didn't have good sorbets so we tried the ice cream from our group and was let down as well. Even the lady from another group sitting near us made the same statement about her ice cream. I hope they didn't change who or how they made the ice cream and it was a one time thing because I really used to love this place. read more

Ice Cream sundae was to die for! The atmosphere is fun, the customers were all smiling that I could see. Well-priced for what I received. Ice cream is delicious. Reminds me of the ice cream places that we have here at the NJ Shore, except a bit less expensive. Many flavors. Near the pier, so you can walk out to the ocean and enjoy your ice cream... Just watch for seagulls. Basically this is a little pop shop with souvenirs, tees, and candies. Two Scoops also offers food, but I didn't try the hot food, or salad options. I came for ice cream and I was 100% satisfied with everything on that end. Even the servers were nice and very fast. read more

Two Scoops on Anna Maria Island is a cozy spot with good service, as there was plenty of staff, and they were friendly and efficient. However, only one of the freezers was working, which limited the selection of flavors available. Despite the lack of variety, the ice cream I had was well-prepared, with a nice balance of texture and sweetness. Overall, I'd rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars due to the limited flavor options, but the service definitely deserves a 4 out of 5 for the quick and pleasant experience. read more

There are several good ice cream places on AMI, and I found this one to be pretty good - I'd come here again, though it's not my #1 favorite. They had a decent variety of flavors, and all of us thought it was good ice cream - not made on premises, but nearby, and brought into the store daily. Two Scoops was good, but didn't amaze me enough for the 5 star rating. read more
