My dream ice cream shop. It's been around since forever, the building has character, the ice cream and service are both amazing. AND IT'S CHEAP! This place is a true gem and I wish I lived closer to it. It's nice to see a place where people can afford to take their family for a quality product without breaking the bank. I don't make it to Tampa often, but this is a must whenever I'm in the area. read more

Late night Ice Cream run, they're open until 11pm on Saturdays so worked out great! I ordered the strawberry, when I tell you this ice cream is Strawberrying! Taste like they blended strawberries and put them in some cream and froze them. The best strawberry ice cream I've ever had! Don't get discouraged by the long line service was efficient. read more

We don't get here very often, but it's everything you want out of an old-school soft serve place. It's a magic place for kids and the dipped cones, once summer is over, are a nostalgic treat. I love the butterscotch dip. That's not something we had a my childhood soft serve place in California and I like it even better than the chocolate. read more

I love the ice cream here. I got to try the thick and chunky ice cream, and I love the texture of the ice cream here. I definitely think that the snickers toppings with the ice cream is my personal favorite. It has such an even amount of toppings, and the ice cream isn't too sweet. The service is very fast, and the line usually gets by relatively quickly. read more

I can't believe that I've never reviewed Bo's. Bo's is a Tampa staple that is worth the wait. I'm lucky to live about a mile away, which makes it very dangerous. You can get just about any ice cream, and it's gonna be incredible - guaranteed. My personal fave is a thick and chunky with brownie pieces! read more

The ice cream is always amazing! They have real brownies (not the crappy super sweet fake stuff...real brownies!) they have a lot of options and the prices are really good. Sometimes the staff can be a hit or miss but I always bring cash to tip and they appreciate that. The prices are so reasonable make sure you bring an extra $1 or $2 to tip! The ambiance is nostalgic for me, they have benches outside to sit with your pals and enjoy a sundae. Drive thru line can get long but there is plenty of parking on the side if you want to walk up and order at the window! read more

I've been going here for 28 years. The quality and the prices are phenomenal. hands-down best ice cream place in Tampa Bay.

We came by to celebrate my in-laws 66th anniversary. They have been coming here for 50 years and have told us many stories of their trips here. We had twist ice cream cups, shakes, dipped cone and sherbet. They were all delicious and brought up all the good memories. read more

Thursday 9/12/2024 Found this spot on Reddit while looking for the best ice cream in the area and they were wrong. I got a large cookies n cream shake topped with a brownie for $13. The shake was very disappointing, it tasted like something you could easily get from a spot like Dairy Queen (for possibly cheaper too). It's just mid soft serve & toppings mixed into a mediocre, low quality shake that isn't worthy of $13 but that's just me. read more

Bo's ice cream was so so good. Three of us got three different things and we loved it! I went with a recommendation from the sweet young lady that was serving us and I'm so glad I did. Service was super friendly. When I tell you this place was popping - the locals must know how good it is. We went later at night and there was a bit of a line (standing and drive through) but it was so worth the wait. read more

The best soft serve in town!!! There's a reason why there's a longass line every day. It's that good

The ice cream here is amazing! This place has been around for quite some time and I love swinging by anytime I'm in the area. They have a convenient drive thru as well, where you can order right from your car. I got the chocolate/vanilla swirl cone dipped in chocolate and it was delicious. I will definitely be going back for their banana sundae (my friend got it and it looked delicious). This place is super casual with outside seating that could fit 4-8 people. 10/10 recommend read more

Such a great neighborhood soft serve spot! They have a drive through but we like to park and walk up. I'll say it's LARGE servings so be hungry!! We love to get the classic dipped cones or the thick n chunky with mix ins! I'd recommend the butterscotch dip with vanilla ice cream Reminds me of an old school Dairy Queen spot and even better. All staff is also energetic, quick and make sure to load you up with napkins! read more

The epitome of a neighborhood ice cream shop! Bo's is a seminole heights staple and serves up all the classics. Soft serve ice cream, rootbeer floats, hot fudge sundaes, banana splits, thick n chunky's (imagine a mcflurry with whatever candy you want mixed into softserve), and more! This shop is always busy and the drive thru line is intimidatingly long; which is how you know it's good. The service is always super quick and the drive thru does move relatively quickly, although I choose to park and order in the front. There are a few benches where you can enjoy your sweet treat! The vanilla soft serve ice cream is my favorite and I don't often stray to other delicacies. I have tried the mnm thick n thunky but found it to have too many mnms. Maybe in the future i'll begin to explore the other menu items but for now the soft serve has my heart! I've seen customers order a variety of things which always look yummy. One thing to note is that the portion sizes are big. I've recommended this spot to many people and will continue to do so! read more

Local spot. No indoor seating. Old School Grab and go at the window. They offer the basic 3 flavors of ice cream and you build from that. I ordered a vanilla milkshake with Peanuts, Maraschino Cherries and chocolate chips mixed in and whip cream on top. Absolutely delicious! Loved it! Service was terrific and the price is unbeatable! read more

Affordable and tasty pineapple ice cream/ sorbet. Always a treat! We love to take a point home

Just awesome. Fast cheap and delicious! Orange ice cream my son killed it. Great place to go after the zoo!

I love this place. It is old school traditional ice cream. I got a swirl cone dipped in cherry like I used to as a kid. I got my son a small cone dipped in rainbow sprinkles which he loved. I like the outside seating area. My hands were full with a toddler and a dog so the lady at the counter gave me an extra bowl and some napkins. It is a no frills place but full of nostalgia and delicious! read more

There is a very special place in my heart for long standing businesses. I'm glad to see that Bo's has been opened since 1954. Although, I would like some different and possibly unique ice cream flavors, it would take away its identity and make like any other modern ice cream shop. I like how it doesn't look like much has been changed since it first opened. Even the prices do not seem to have changed too much. A small (16oz) Coke and vanilla soft serve float for 4$ is unknown anywhere else. Overall my experience was great. The service was great and my float was delicious and at a great price. read more

This place is amazing! I got the banana split single and the ice cream is so smooth and they don't skip out of all the fixings! A little bit of a wait but they seemed to be servicing quickly in both drive thru and the front. I love they have multiple tables to sit at outside so you can enjoy comfortably eating ice cream with great vibes at this location. read more

I love Bo's! Great ice cream, and good prices. Wish I could be there right this minute!

Maybe it's the nostalgic element of enjoying a hand dipped cherry vanilla ice cream that keeps me coming back. Could be the low prices and old school signage. This is a throwback to simple ice cream, they don't have innovative flavors, but Bo's executes the basics well. It's not the highest quality ice cream, but when eating ice-cream, basic can be best. read more

Finally had an opportunity to try Bo's. Staff was friendly and food was great. Price was very reasonable especially considering portion size. Daughter got a twist waffle cone that was probably bigger than her head. They even offer a banana split, which my son has been wanting to try. Wish they were closer. read more

My grandpa used to take me and my sister here religiously as a child, before that, my mother. This place is a passed down favorite from generation to generation for a good reason. Delicious ice cream, real and flavorful, fast & friendly service- those kids know they work somewhere that honors tradition, unbeatable prices and sizes, & now with their new parking lot seating area- ambiance. The perfect place for a hot Friday night to enjoy some ice cream. Never change Bo's, you're absolutely PERFECT the way you are. read more

Old fashioned ice cream stand. Surprised to see a line on a Sunday at 7 PM. Menu has typical flavors nothing out of ordinary. I went with a Birthday Cake thick n chunky. (Think of a blizzard or McFlurry). Premium flavors like birthday cake are an extra 50 cents. Don't make the mistake I did and order a Medium. Wasn't even close to finishing it. I recommend a small unless you are sharing. Has a drive thru which I thought was cool. read more

Soft serve dreams served up at this joint! Came through after the Halloween Tampa Zoo experience craving something sweet and this place delivers. They have shakes, sundaes, dipped cones, malts -- all options on display using a bright lit sign. Prices are affordable, service was quick despite the long lines. They have a drive thru and order up at a window option with a few tables available. I'm a cookie dough girl so for the thicc shake option while my sis did a small sundae. The portions are very generous - I couldn't finish my mini but didn't want to waste so saved it in the freezer for later. Was going to ask for a to-go lid but the line was long and the crew was hella busy. Nice to support local businesses when possible! read more

This neighborhood ice cream shop makes you feel like you were transported back in time! They have soft servers, hard ice cream, floats, juleps and more with a wide variety of flavors and toppings. The ice cream is tasty and affordable! Since there is no indoor seating, my only suggestion would be do add umbrellas by the chairs in the front of the store to help add some shade. read more

Bo's Ice Cream - Twist soft serve with Oreos - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Best creamy ice cream in Tampa . No wonder why they been open for 71 yrs. Besides 1954 was a great yr, I was born that yr.

I'm not much of a soft serve ice cream fan, but being a big fan of ice cream it was hard to pass up on a historic joint. The line moved quick, there was also a drive through which the line for that extended out into the main road. I was very pleasantly surprised in the cheap price for ice cream and the big serving sizes. I had a chocolate milk shake that I sucked down very fast (should've gotten a bigger size). And my boyfriend had a banana milk shake, which is not for me but he enjoyed the small pieces of banana that were mixed in with the vanilla based shake. read more

Bo's Ice Cream, I have been a few times but I wanted a good hot fudge ice cream sundae. Tonight, it's very busy in the drive thru. The staff is coming outside to take the orders. I got a large hot fudge ice cream sundae with the fixings. So good and creamy. Lots of whipped cream and lots of hot fudge. I do recommend Bo's for upside down banana split. Be patient when you go because it's super busy rather you do the walk up window or drive thru. Yummy!! read more

Bo's Ice Cream has been serving this community since the 1950's and it perfectly exemplifies that old school ice cream place and reminds us that people were once upon a time flocking to these old school ice cream places long before we started seeing this trend of fancy, upscale ice cream establishments. I stuck with a standard, the good old vanilla ice cream cone. Hey, there is something to be said for some old school soft serve ice cream and this vanilla ice cream brought me back to countless ice cream summers of my bygone youth. Bo's Ice Cream is a great place to go and grab some old school.ice cream and who knows, you just might create some create memories along with having some great old school ice cream. All in all, I would definitely recommend Bo's Ice Cream and I will give it five stars overall. read more
