Ybor City is an amazing enclave in Tampa filled with rich history. We were on the hunt for icecream…read morewhile walking the area and stumbled upon Mayday Ice Cream. The staff were so kind and patient with my kids. It wasn't busy and they let them have as many samples as they wanted to ensure their satisfaction once they ordered their "pilot" (single scoop) of icecream. Mayday Ice Cream has fun and funky flavors like lavender tea, parent trap (Oreo cookies and peanut butter add ins) and more! The establishment was clean and well maintained. The staff went over and above, really making the experience special. They even offered to go containers and a foil bag to help keep the ice cream from melting when my kids felt full. Now that's above and beyond service imo. Please stop by and give this establishment some love. Because they are definitely doing it right.

Seriously - when you are craving dessert, this is absolutely the best place to go. I went for a…read moreYelp event a while back, and it reminded me just how good their desserts are, so when my friend and I wanted dessert to finish off my birthday celebration, coming here was obvious. The women behind the counter were helpful and friendly. When I asked for opinions and suggestions, they had plenty based on my likes, and in no time at all, I had a warmed up incredibly rich and delicious Magic Toffee Bar in front of me. So crazy good, I could only eat 1/3 of it, but it made for a delightful treat the next day too. The description of it is as follows: buttery Graham cracker crust with milk, dark, and white chocolate chips, bits of toffee, and topped with coconut. I also highly recommend taking a treat or two from their samples jar. Their toffee is clearly the best in the world, and every bite is a treat. If you're looking for the perfect holiday gift - look no further than their toffee. They have their own parking lot, which is always a bonus in this part of town, and inside was clean and bright, with plenty of seating, and free glasses of water.

Great selection of desserts here (ice cream, cakes, pie bars, and more). The cookies & cream pie…read morebar and gooey toffee bar were both standouts and definitely worth ordering. The cake slice I tried was unfortunately on the dry side, but when staff checked in and I mentioned it, they immediately offered to let me pick out a replacement, completely unprompted. That kind of hospitality goes a long way. Friendly team all around and I'd come back just for those pie bars!

I've been to Dairy Joy quite a few times and realized I've somehow never left a review, so it's…read moredefinitely overdue! This visit I got the pineapple Dole Whip because I wanted something sweet without the dairy, and it was so good. I originally wanted the strawberry flavor, but I went through the drive-thru and found out they only have that at the walk-up location next door where you can hang out outside. On previous visits I've gotten the vanilla soft serve, and it's honestly my favorite soft serve in the area. It's so creamy and always hits the spot. One thing that's always consistent is how friendly and fast the staff is. Whether I'm going through the drive-thru or ordering at the window, I've always had a great experience. If you're looking for ice cream, Dole Whip, or even a dairy-free treat, I definitely recommend Dairy Joy. They also have other food like hot dogs if you're looking for more than just dessert. It's one of my go to spots whenever I'm craving something sweet!

I'm not sure how I've missed writing a review for this nostalgic and fantastic ice cream shop for…read moreso long....especially after ending my reverse surprise birthday party here last year....with 18 of my closest friends on a party bus.... They were so sweet to let me bring a cake earlier in the day to hold for me...and then let me decorate it in the back of their shop so I could surprise my friends with that while they were all in line ordering ice cream. Everyone had so much fun and then capturing pics with Elvis and in the cars and just enjoying the ice cream (and cake) itself... the 50's vibe is just super cute. What a fun place and great ice cream....even dairy free options (DOLE WHiP) Outside of that event, I've been here on lots of other occassions and it seems to be busiest within the last 30 minutes before closing...and not just on weekends! I find them to get busy during the week just before closing as well. I have never been through the drive through - I either order and hang out at the picnic tables there or I still stand in line and get my ice cream to go. But always the nicest kids working there and love this shop!

The torched marshmallows on top were such a fun touch! They really gave the ice cream an authentic s'mores flavor and feel, and it was such a creative presentation. It tasted like a campfire treat in ice cream form! Definitely a fun stop after shopping at the outlets. Not a lot seating but if it's a nice day you can sit outside and enjoy.

So happy we ran across this!…read more I always like to bring candy home when traveling and this has been the best mixed candy yet they have the Bubs candy and other popular Swedish/international candies! Little pricey but to be expected. Now the sundaes are insane! Watching them make it was pretty neat- they newly have a non-dairy strawberry which I felt went perfect with with Strawberry sundae that stood out to me! Mind you I can have dairy but my stomach definitely prefers less is better! LOL I did not try my friends brownie one but she really liked it. Honestly you can likely order the size mini because it really isn't so mini and perfect size to actually finish! My friend got the regular and had to toss likely the amount in difference between our two sizes because she was full and we had no way with our hotel room to freeze the leftovers. I'd definitely recommend.

How can one go wrong with ice cream and delicious treats??U can't!!…read more Upon entering the Hampton Chocolate Factory in Sparkman's Warf.. I loved the black, white and red decor, extremely chic and feeling high end when I walked in. This is not your average ice-cream shop, as they offer an array of flavors and assortment of candies from different countries. The service was good but short staffed, there were 3 people working and it was so busy.. I couldn't help but feel sorry for them, but they were all gracious and friendly. The chocolate cookie dough was warm and amazingly sweet but paired well with the vanilla soft serve. Overall, great experience!! Will return! *Is there a way management can place fans or mist outside as there was not enough seating inside, and the ice cream if not eaten fast enough, turns into soup outside. Just a suggestion :)

We stopped by Andy's for a quick treat before dinner because that's how we roll. Haha…read more Anastasia was so incredibly sweet to help us with our order. She helped ring us up for everything we ordered and while I was waiting I saw a window sticker that said free ice cream for kids who got on a roll and I mentioned that my son did and was able to show his report card for a free ice cream. It was our first time trying the lemon bar and I have to say it was really good. Nice chunks of the lemon bar throughout and had a nice lemon flavor. Really amazing service and I'm not sure if her coworker was being funny but the first woman at the window was not so friendly to her so I'm glad I was able to get her to help us.

I wanted to share my extremely poor customer experience today at the 2501 E State Road 60 location…read morein Valrico. Items do not come out with any quality control- very poor customer experience I've never been to a Andy's before and I am not at all familiar with a single menu item. I ordered 2 large concrete ooeey gooey butter cakes. When I received the first one, I sat down and took a few bites and was extremely confused by why it was plain vanilla with little to none of the other items listed on the menu, it was very plain vanilla custard. I've ordered items like that before to be very disappointed with the amount of mix but this was the worst by far I've ever ordered. This was my first experience and I didn't know what to expect so I turned it to its side and noticed there is a bunch of caramel looking syrup and cookie like bites at the very bottom all smooshed down there. I then precede to stab the plastic spoon through the thick custard, which was lovely, only to find that the bottom mix of caramel and cookie is literally glued to the bottom like a suction cup. Now I'm sitting on the bench in 80+ degree weather, the sun is blaring and I'm aggressively stabbing the ice to get to the very bottom, barely with enough spoon to be able to grab any because the large is extremely tall and the spoon is...not at all. Now this concrete looks like a mess on top with the custard starting to melt and giant hole where I smooshed the custard down to try to get the topping but failing miserably. Then the second concrete comes out and its a completely different item on the menu, or so it seems because my first one was astronomically different. I try the second concrete and its delicious so I brought my large concrete back and told them it wasn't mixed and I couldn't stir it and that I stabbed a large hole in there trying to rectify that. It was pretty melted on the top now from the heat of my labors as well as the sun and temperature outside. The girl just looked at me for a second and I said I don't know if they can mix it because my spoon wasn't working and don't know how anything is made in the back. She then asked if I wanted another one and went to walk away I think, it was hard to tell because the sun was blaring in my eyes and It wasn't even easy to see her face in the building. I said I was not trying to get this for free and handed it back to her. The wind was blowing and I was dropping items so I very quickly handed it to her. Another employee then brought me the newly mixed concrete. When she went to hand it to me she hesitated for a second, pulled her hands back, and then blatantly stated loudly, "Next time you have a problem with one of our items, please bring it to our attention before you eat HALF of it". I explained to the first girl that I attempted to mixed it and the ice cream on top literally melted and frozen particle are scientifically larger than liquid particles. I was astounded she was so incredibly rude and to make such a scene and speak so nasty and unprofessionally to a customer is horrific. The girl also said in response to me reacting to her comment "I'm not being hostile with my comment." I didn't want to take it and she shoved it at me so I just took it and left. I have never had such a bad experience at any food location ever. I'm still can't believe that actually happened but I have a witness that assures me it did. I haven't had custard in years and I'll never ever go back to an Andy's location because of my terrible experience. I would never want my business to have such a disgusting customer experience so I wanted to bring it you you attention. Your employee was so incredibly rude it made me feel awful that I even bothered to ask. I felt unsafe eating the custard because if she spoke to me that way, she seemed brazen enough to possibly do something else very nasty and unkind. I couldn't even eat it, I felt dirty and gross.
