Once we got into the store, it was full of old time candy from my childhood. Even though there was a line, the server took his time and helped us find the perfect order. He offered suggestion to my wife as they out tighter the prefect milkshake. I ordered a single serving on a waffle cone. The serving was very generous. Not to be outdone, my son orders the double. It was a mountain of ice cream! The server was kind and engaging. He made us feel like we were his only customers. Again, the ice cream was delicious. And the atmosphere was fun. We will definitely be back.

They have a lot of flavors so you'll have a hard time picking one. After trying a lot of different flavors I decided to order the key lime pie and it was exquisite! The employee was super nice and gave me a lot of samples cuz I wasn't sure what I wanted. Everything sounded delicious! I definitely recommend this ice cream shop to anyone visiting John's Pass. Just be aware, portions are huge. I ordered a simple and it was double scoop!

Even after coming here for well over 10 years, it truly makes me feel like a kid in a candy store…read morewhen I enter. Not only are you greeted by some of the friendliest employees, you're hit with a sensory overload (in all the best ways possible). The decadent smell of chocolate fills your nose & your eyes are drawn to the display cases with literal pieces of edible art. You're going to need a minute- or five- when deciding what you want. Your eyes will tell you to get the best looking while the flavor descriptions will speak for themselves. First & foremost, these artisan chocolates are not only delicious, they're true pieces of art. The owner uses an airbrushing paint style to decorate the shells of the many amazing options. They're made by hand in-house & you can literally see how much effort is put into the product they serve. I love how many different options there are to choose from. Not only is there a great variety, they're always stocked up. Even after coming here for as long as I have, it always seems like there's something new to try. They have some standard flavors like dark chocolate raspberry, strawberry caramel, hazelnut, cappuccino & salted caramel but the true fun lies within looking at the unique flavors. PB & J, bananas foster, key lime pie, passion fruit & Mexican mango are just some to be named. They offer macrons & some of their signature flavors in bar form, as well. There's also a great selection of delicious, freshly-made gelato. Fan of afternoon tea? They host it every Saturday & Sunday with some delicious bites at a reasonable cost. Everything from the amazing customer service to the phenomenal tasting/looking chocolates makes this place a must hit. Any & every time I'm in Clearwater I make sure to get my fix. You shouldn't miss their chocolates if you care about yourself.

The staff member was absolutely amazing in helping us decide which flavors to try, ingredients, and cost. There are lots of sweet and salty flavors to sample. It is hard to choose. We had such an amazing experience we hoped they would be back after the hurricane. Instead of waiting for our next trip to Florida, we made an online order. We ordered Jan 8 and just received our order this week, Feb 20, 2025. There was one issue after another that delayed shipment. We were concerned with the lack of communication. When we finally had a response, it sounds like the owners had a lot going on. The owners sent some samples as a sorry for the issues and delay and a few other extras due to being out of the flavor that were in stock when we ordered. We appreciate the honesty and customer service from company's like this.

This store is really one of the best kept secrets in Pinellas county!…read more Why a secret? Because it is hidden away from the main traffic on West Bay drive, just two blocks South on 13th street. I can't express enough great things about this place, but their deli is the showstopper here. Their signature "Rumspringer" sandwich is unique and truly amazing, with dried beef, turkey, bacon, cole slaw, and a creamy whole-grain mustard-based sauce, then pressed. Tasty and addictive! The deli also has Cooper sharp cheese, which makes the best grilled cheese you may ever have! They also have freshly-sliced "dried beef" which makes the best chipped beef over toast, ever! Combine these rare deli treats with all of their other unusual and offbeat Amish items, and this store is a true joy of a destination for those that appreciate distinctive culinary treasures. Plus, I have always found the staff here to be very helpful and extremely friendly. I always look forward to my next trip to the Amish Country Store!

The inside of the store is old Florida~ with souvenirs ranging from manatee wine holders to seashell decorations. There are bags of locally-picked oranges and cartons of fresh orange juice for sale as well, but we went for the soft serve. It's a vanilla/orange swirl made with fresh orange juice. The creaminess of the vanilla with the tartness of the orange created a refreshing, nostalgic flavor. The attendant was really sweet. Yellow Banks Groves is a great spot if you're craving soft serve, needing a local shop to showcase to people visiting from out of town, or if you're looking for a memorable gift.

Drove the 30 minutes back home just to see there is black dirt/mold/dust floating all over the container. Called the store hoping they had an answer to what it was just to get a very unsure staff member who says "it may be debris from the peel." They offered I return for a refund however I live to far to make it worth that. My guess is it is mold from a juicer that isn't cleaned regularly. Besides that the orange vanilla swirl ice cream was yummy but I won't be rushing back. Be sure to check your containers before purchasing.
