Ice Screamin/Tampa — Restaurant in Florida

We noticed this location while eating lunch last week. After some research we decided to go try it. We were very very disappointed. Upon approaching the windows were covered in finger prints, the inside was put together poorly with odd decor and an even more displeasing smell. There was another couple in there but no employee insight, after waiting about 5 minutes, we asked them if anyone was working. They said the same thing happened to them. After shouting hello a few times, a man emerged from the back. We ordered the Cookie butter sundae special, extremely over priced for what we received. The gentleman rang us up and I put my card in, but not with out noticing a weird 3% number before the screen changed. I backed out of the transaction to ask about the fee. That’s when he decided to tell me oh, it’s 3.99 % to use a card. Ha! Had I known that we would have left before ordering. It is not posted anywhere nor told to you unless you happen to notice it. The sundae was rather boring. The “cookie butter” ice cream tasted like vanilla, bland. The cake was refrigerated and had a taste of almost alcohol, my figuring is was to much artificial extract used. We were excited to see something new to our neighborhood. Needless to say we won’t be coming back. Oh I forgot to mention before we even sat down the man was already back in the back...

So, it was a spur-of-the-moment last decision with our family, to go get something sweet to eat last night. Pretty late too, not a lot of spots open very convenient that they were open until 1:00 a.m. We drove 25 minutes to get there totally worth it. We get there and the place is wonderful, clean, bright with colors, menu evenly spaced out easy to read and understand. Completely understood why there was a long line but the staff moved diligently and got it going quick. The staff taking our order were so patient and so kind. We were sort of a little big group so we were holding things up. But they got our orders quickly and got them made quickly and I even had the fortune of having the owner, who was elbow to elbow with the staff helping them get the rush knocked out, personally make my brownie sundae (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) I'm pretty sure they have a quick way of throwing these things together but there was a lot of detail shown to it and I really appreciated that it was amazing. Ice cream was superb. The brownie wasn't too hot to where it melts all your ice cream but yet it was just the right temperature tasted and felt like it just came out the oven. Spur-of-the-moment decision ended up with me finding the best ice cream spot in Tampa definitely going back to try the apple pie Sunday that's next on...

The Holy Grail of ice cream has been discovered at Ice Sssscreamin in Tampa! As someone who's reviewed ice cream shops across the country, I can confidently say this hidden gem is serving up some of the most exceptional Amish-style ice cream I've ever tasted.

First off, their flavor selection is mind-blowing - I counted at least 32 different varieties during my visit. The Amish ice cream base they use creates this incredibly rich, creamy texture that you just can't find in commercial ice creams. Each scoop has that dense, velvety mouthfeel that only comes from small-batch churning and high butterfat content.

I tried the coconut flakes flavor. The intensity of flavors is remarkable - this isn't your typical overly-sweetened ice cream. You can taste the quality of their dairy source in every bite.

What really sets them apart is their commitment to traditional Amish ice cream-making methods. They use a slower churning process that incorporates less air, resulting in that signature dense texture. Their portions are generous too - a single scoop is practically two at regular places.

The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their product. They let me sample several flavors before making my...
