The flavors are unique, featuring your standard flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, cookies and cream, to "whimsical" flavors such as spumoni and dreamsicle. I love an ice cream shop that has homemade ice cream, and this is pretty close with their ice cream being sourced locally. With additional snacks such as cookies and coffee, you really can't go wrong with a visit here. Can't wait to try more flavors!

It was a nice shop that also had some nice chocolate candy options too. Fudge, turtles, candy apples and more along with ice cream and sherbet.

Nice friendly staff - they also have fudge samples

Anyway, we only found it because they had a sign leaning on a pillar. The inside is very cute and felt clean. There was only one worker and she was quick and efficient. There is a nice variety of hard flavors from which to choose. I was just in the mood for chocolate in a sugar cone. The scoop size was a good size for the price and the cone was fresh. The ice cream was very good and creamy. There were numerous other specialty choices. I will definitely be back!

I tried a sample of their non-vegan pistachio & it was too sweet, did not like it but if you like pistachio flavor strong, this might tickle your fancy. I instead choice a kid's cup size of their cookies & cream which was delicious with rainbow sprinkles on top! I like that their cutlery is ecofriendly & that their gelato is organic! They have very few seats inside but much more seating outside! Parking is not plenty in front of the business but it's not far from the public parking at the Village.

I tried my first one at the farmers market in Sarasota, then at the Siesta Key food stand, now these popsicles are popping up everywhere and they even have their own store front. They cost more than your typical frozen sugar water on a stick. I reluctantly forked over $3 for my first popsicle, but I figured I was supporting a local vendor and I'd rather have something healthy to cool me down. (Now range from $2-$4.75.) I was a fan after tasting it, but had no plans to purchase more. Then my kids were born and wanted ice cream. I was staring into the freezer at the beach looking at unnatural looking ice cream and popsicles, so I forked over three more dollars a pop thinking it's a treat at the beach. We are all hooked on these pops now. It is easy for me to justify the price for their health and knowing what goes into them. For me, I was sold when I tasted the new flavors. They have grown-up flavors now, and the flavors are intense and accurate. The Mexican chocolate is smooth and light but with strong chocolate flavors. You can taste a hint of mint in the mojito. The pear and bumbleberry ones have bits of fruit. If your kids are picky, I'd say stick with the simple flavors like strawberry lemonade. Flavors are changing all the time, and I can't wait to taste more. Glad to see years of working resulted in their store opening. I see the PopCraft logo on ice cream trucks, too. Wish they would come up to Tampa!

I tried the Road Trip flavor along with a seasonal vanilla and chocolate flavor, and both were rich, bold, and delicious. The portions were generous, and the ice cream held up all the way to the beach. The shop has a fun, nostalgic atmosphere with throwback toys and family-friendly vibes. I also loved being able to scan the menu while waiting in line. The cookies and giant fudge bars are definitely on my list for next time. A great ice cream stop that I'd happily visit again!
