Bo’s is an old school type of ice cream shop! The drive through can be long- especially on weekend nights, but it’s definitely worth the wait if you’re waiting for classic creations. Their vanilla ice cream is great but not the best but their hot fudge is one of the better ones in tampa! Don’t worry about running out because every size is generous: mini, small, medium and large are all huge sizes!!

Upside Down banana split (not pictured): delicious and it has all the flavours you’re looking for in a banana split except it’s in a cup! 4/5

Vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce: their sauce is not super sweet so it makes it a very enjoyable simple creation 5/5

Chocolate Thick n Chunky Brownie w/ hot fudge: chocolate lovers will love this but we should have gotten it with vanilla ice cream instead to tone down the intense chocolate flavours 4/5

Thick n Chunky Oreo w/ hot fudge: the lady forgot to add the hot fudge so she topped mine off with it. However, my cup was already full so it led to quite a mess in the car and on me. Apart from the mess, it was still yummy! This is my go to...

Bo’s Ice Cream is a Tampa treasure! This old-school stand has been serving up sweet, creamy happiness since 1954—and you can taste the history in every bite. Whether you’re a soft-serve purist, a milkshake fan, or someone who needs sprinkles on everything, Bo’s has something nostalgic and delicious for everyone.

The ice cream is always smooth, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. The vanilla and chocolate swirl is a classic, but their dipped cones and banana splits are just as crave-worthy. And don’t sleep on the milkshakes—thick, rich, and just the right kind of indulgent.

What makes Bo’s even better is the atmosphere: friendly service, reasonable prices, and that charming retro walk-up window that feels like stepping back in time. It’s the kind of place where generations of locals bring their kids, and tourists stumble upon it and instantly get why it’s beloved.

If you’re in Tampa and looking for a sweet treat that hits every note—Bo’s is the spot. Fast service, good vibes, and unbeatable ice cream. A true...
