The Ultimate List of Tampa Bay Dessert Spots for Date Night
"The Dessert Spot at Toffee To Go is a popular spot in South Tampa, whether you’re going to order some desserts for a party or skipping dinner and going straight to the sweets!. Their decor is super classy, making it a great date idea. We recommend ordering their brownie sundae topped with hot fudge!"
"The Dessert Spot (featured in the header image of the article) serves up sweets that are almost too pretty to eat. After 15 years, Toffee to Go added The Dessert Spot so visitors could sit down and enjoy a pastry and a cup of coffee. The confections this spot whips out are next level good."
"Not everyone has a sweet tooth, but dessert is always a good idea. Whether you want an after dinner snack or a treat in the afternoon, these are just a few of the best dessert spots in Tampa for you to try."
"Micki’s is yet another St. Pete Beach ice cream shop on Gulf Boulevard, two blocks from Caprice Resort. This simplistic establishment uses non-GMO dairy products from Working Cow Ice Cream and sells 221 BC Kombucha, Black Crow Coffee, and (swah-rey) cupcakes. Don’t let your ice cream melt!"
"Family-owned and operated since 2009, Holy Cow Ice Cream & Other Cool Stuffoffers 36 different flavors of homemade ice cream crafted from the finest possible ingredients. They also have sugar-free, dairy-free, and frozen yogurt options. The selection changes daily but often includes interesting flavors like rum raisin, Snickers, crazy cake, coffee, pistachio, mocha almond fudge, and cappuccino Kahlua."
"The Holy Cow Ice Cream Shop is located in Holmes Beach and offers several distinct and extraordinary ice cream flavors to test out. This ice cream shop is known for its large portions and amazing flavors and textures. You can choose up to 3 flavors or more even with the smallest serving of ice cream, and there are sugar-free as well as low-fat ice cream options."
"Then you’ll love their sister location over at the Twistee Treat in St. Pete Beach. Since it’s the same company, you know the ice cream is gonna be just as good here!. The Twistee Treat menu includes hand-dipped ice cream waffle cones, brownie sundaes, frappe freezes, banana splits, and Twistee typhoons, which combine your favorite ice cream and toppings into a mixed-up dessert."
"Ordering a frozen dessert from Twistee Treat, a St. Pete Beach ice cream landmark, is a must on any visit to Florida’s Gulf Coast. Twistee Treat operates out of a giant ice cream cone on Gulf Boulevard. Visitors from across North America cannot resist the urge to pose for a picture with the larger-than-life cone."
"Oh Yeah Creamery is the next big ice cream shop in Hyde Park and South Tampa!. Located right on the corner of Platt and South Boulevard, Oh Yeah Creamery delights Tampa locals and UT students with tons of flavors to choose from including apple pie, Nutella, chocolate, and much more. Also offering cereal toppings, Oh Yeah Creamery is a foodie pioneer in the Bay area; making it one of the most unique restaurants in Tampa."
"We were a large party of 15 and the our host Pam and server Emily took really good care of us."
"Goody Goody is located in Hyde park and open from 7 am to 9 pm. If you are looking for pancakes, they are the best breakfast in Tampa. Each pancake served is 12 inches!"
"Part of the Ciccio and Tony's family of restaurants, Daily Eats is a modern, contemporary diner with a twist of 'greasy spoon.' The menu features an impressive list of all-day favorites including creative breakfast options that add an interesting spin to familiar favorites. Examples include a list of variations on the familiar eggs Benedict theme that brings in non-traditional ingredients such as turkey hash or scallion cream cheese. Perhaps best known for their Breakfast Bowls, these are big bowls loaded with all kinds of breakfast goodies."
"Part of the Ciccio Restaurant Group’s South Tampa block, Daily Eats is among the more casual of the bunch. Owner Jeff Gigante calls it “where comfort meets nutrition trends for all-day cheap dates.” Bobet has a similar idea: “It’s great food with a mix of trendy-yet-nostalgic diner feel,” she said. The place is popular (read: crowded) for breakfast most days, and especially so at brunch on the weekends."
"Located in the trendy Soho District, Daily Eats serves breakfast all day with a variety of breakfast bowls, omelets, and eggs benedict. They also have French toast and pancakes (they even have whole wheat and gluten-free pancakes). Try Chef’s Famous Crunchy French Toast, which owes its sweet crunchiness to Cap’n Crunch."
"Downtown's swah-rey, located at 625 Central Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the bakery, which offers desserts, cupcakes and more, 4.5 stars out of 45 reviews."
"Goody Goody is located in Hyde park and open from 7 am to 9 pm. If you are looking for pancakes, they are the best breakfast in Tampa. Each pancake served is 12 inches!"
"Owned and operated by husband and wife team Marc and Donna Cripe (original owners of Central Cafe on east Manatee Avenue), Jennings Downtown Provisions will celebrate five years of smart and creative American cuisine this fall. Like their across-the-hall neighbors at Fav’s (read on), the Cripes take a friendly, hands-on approach to running their restaurant and wine/craft beer bar, which also now doubles as a hip boutique selling stylish clothing, candles and more. In addition to daily chalkboard specials, Chef Marc’s numerous creations include handhelds like the tender pork tacos with slaw and house barbecue sauce, a superb chicken salad sandwich, and several flatbread options such as the must-try smoked salmon with boursin, pesto, onion, capers, cheese, greens and crema."
