D'lited to finally try this place because after some effort with proper spelling to locate this establishment on Yelp or google maps I struck gold with some healthy ice cream that is D'lit. Healthy ice cream seems like a misnomer unless of course you are referencing mental health, but yes you heard right that this cream is clocking in at only 50 kcal per 4 O-Zs. Mine was double this, but I also have a sweet tooth and this is something I am working on. Speaking of which, how might they accomplish this skinny appearance? I can tell you it is not by compromising the consistency or quality of the treat. Many over-the-counter or grocery store aisle skinny ice creams. I have tried basically just taste like frozen water and have a very icy consistency. This ice cream however, was almost as thick as custard and as creamy as the best homemade batch coming straight from the dairy farm. One of their secrets to this technique that they could share with me, was the fact that they use fat-free milk, which again was very impressive understanding that usually the higher the fat content of the dairy product the more creamy and rich it becomes. My only con to the ice cream is that as a result of keeping it thin, the sweetness factor is substantially lower than what you would expect from a full body high sugar content dairy treat. This is still though about as good as one could get while still maintaining a low calorie threshold. As I mentioned prior, I do have a significant sweet tooth and so their huge bar of mix ins which include both your typical and your health conscious options was a huge plus for me. I decided to go for the old faithful cookie dough bites. Their cost per mix-in is a little higher than the average market price at about one dollar, but I believe it is well worth it to be able to give you just a little bit more sweetness, which you deserve considering your dessert at baseline is so much less calorically dense than the average. South Tampa is a bit of a drive for me, but the kind service behind the counter willing to allow me to try the selection of rotating weekly flavors was enough to lock me in for a return visit. read more

D'lites Emporium - Medium Cup - Regular Bavarian chocolate and Oreo - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Absolutely delicious for only 50 calories! If you just want an extremely light dessert, this is the place to go. They don't have too many flavors, but the place is huge and the service was quick. There are a pretty wide array of toppings. Strawberry is their most fruity flavor. read more

D'lites Emporium - Cup - Small strawberry ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Stopped for a quick dessert on a walk to celebrate my coworker's birthday. We both went in and were greeted by the kind server. We were a little slow to figure out exactly what we wanted since we sort of just happened upon this place, but she was very patient with us. Eventually, I settled on a small cup of Oreo and Cookie Butter Crisp. I thought it was good, but didn't blow me away. It soothes a sweet tooth craving though, but I couldn't really taste the Oreo or the cookie butter flavor when I was eating it. It was a good bite, but I've definitely had better. However, I still think this place is enjoyable! read more

Best soft serve in Tampa! The flavors are always so delicious and they always give you so much! A Tampa staple!!

If you are looking for a low carb or healthier dessert option, look no further! This place is so underground and underrated. Their soft serve is one of the best healthy dessert options hands down. My usual order is a small cup, occasionally I'll order a medium. They rotate flavors often so there is always something different to try. Their ice cream flavors are mild (some more than others), never overly sweet. Some flavors can be somewhat similar but I honestly don't mind at all. They sell prepackaged to-go containers of their soft serve in various sizes as well as tons of low carb products. Due to covid, no samples are being served. They also have restricted indoor seating. They do, however, have a couple tables and chairs set up right outside. read more

I came here looking for "carbo lite " which is a super low calories frozen yogurt. This is a little different but for 50 calories every 1/2 cup I think that's great! This is definitely more of an ice cream place so I loved it. I thought the price was a bit more expensive but they were very generous with my serving size! Which is great but definitely makes it more calories (I am not complaining I'll take more ice cream) I loved the service and over ambiance. Super cute place and I know they have another location in tampa! read more

I stopped by D'lites Emporium as my dog was a couple of stores down at an appointment. The ice cream was fresh and the chocolate milkshake was delicious. It wasn't too sweet and hit the spot. I was hopping for a smaller size but they didn't have anything smaller and the largest cup is large! read more

Maybe I'm biased because I'm on the keto diet, but I think this place is the bees knees. I have been searching for keto dessert spots in Tampa and finally stumbled across D'lites when someone posted on Instagram... wow am I happy I found this beautiful place. All of their ice cream is Keto! They have 6 soft serve flavors that rotate. Half of the flavors ate chocolate base, which is 2 grams of carbs and 2 grams of sugar per serving. The other half is vanilla, which is 6 grams of carbs and 6 grams of sugar. Their medium size is 2 servings so I freeze half every time and it stays in perfect condition the next night. The chocolate is my go to flavor but my favorite is the peanut butter brownie batter (chocolate base) and the dulce de leche (vanilla base). They have a punch card to earn free ice cream, though I think you need 20 some ice cream purchases to get a free one. Every day of the week they have different specials. On Wednesdays, their special is buy 2 pre-packaged containers, get one free. They also sell a lot of health and keto conscious foods in store. They carry smart cakes, which are small keto cakes that are frozen. This is one of those places where I tried it about 2 weeks ago and have been at least 6 times and every time I buy enough ice cream for 2 nights. I haven't decided if it's good or bad that it's on my way home from the gym, as I can't drive by and NOT stop in for some ice cream. read more

I absolutely LOVE D'lites! I've been to this location a few times. It's cute, the service is friendly but best of all is the ice cream! Healthy and low calorie but still creamy and soft with different flavors and toppings. I wish I lived closer! I'm convincing my fiancé to fly down for a sushi and D'lites date! He was pleasantly surprised by how good it was too! read more

They need to be transparent with ingredients: corn syrup and hydrogenated palm oil. These are practically banned and this is probably why ingredients and nutrition info isn't listed anywhere ! They need to explain what is in the yogurt. It tastes great but what is in it exactly ? https://dlitesemporium.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Nutritionalinfo.pdf read more

For some reason I have had an insatiable craving for soft serve ice cream recently, and this place offers a guilt-free option to satisfy that! At only 50 calories per half a cup, with no added sugars, this place is perfect for people watching their sugar or carb intake. I love the ever-changing flavor options: they always have chocolate or vanilla, and then have 4 other flavors that change three times a week. You can choose a cup, cake or waffle cone, or even buy them in half-pints or ice cream sandwiches. However, considering the health-centric mindset regarding the ice cream itself, I find the topping options a bit baffling. The options are your typical chocolate chips, nuts, caramels, cereals, etc, which if you add to your sundae can bring it up to basically as many calories and carbs as your typical dessert. Why no fresh fruit options, which would be perfect? Also, the pricing of the toppings are outrageous. I once got a small cup with 3 toppings and the total was $16, more than I'd spend on a fancy dessert at a gourmet restaurant. Overall, this is a good option for a reasonably priced guilt-free dessert, but ONLY if you stick to the ice cream itself! read more

D'lites Emporium - Red velvet and funfetti soft serve cup - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I went to college in Gainesville, and thought that was the only D'Lites. I passed this location last week and it literally made my week. They change the flavors constantly and the fro-yo is much lower in carbs than Yogurtology or similar places. They also have tons of toppings. They sell some random items (most with lower macros than the typical) like 0 calorie maple syrup and light pastas. If I could afford to buy it every night, I without a doubt would. read more

I had seen the Yelp reviews, and Yelpers were conflicted on whether it was ice cream. Don't come here expecting premium ice cream. D'lites is good, but it tastes more like healthy froyo/soft serve. It's airy, but dense at the same time. While I was there, I bought a small cup ($3.85) of cake batter and chocolate buttercream. The cake batter was delicious, and the chocolate buttercream was a muted version of their regular chocolate. I didn't order toppings, although I wish I had asked for some textured toppings (like sprinkles, cookie dough, or syrup) to help counter the smooth texture. It was delicious and I had a hard time believing it's only 50 calories per 4oz serving. One reason for four instead of five stars is because I found the ingredient list online and they use HYDROGENATED PALM OIL in their soft serve mix. In 2019, they should not be using any hydrogenated oils in their product when they claim to be "healthy." Also, their ingredient list reads like a chemistry lab. Although I like the fact that they claim not to use any artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. If they get rid of the hydrogenated oils and stabilizers, I'll be cleaning a space in my freezer for D'Lites. Ingredients: skim milk, sugar, corn syrup, partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, buttermilk solids, whey solids, artificial vanilla, mono and dyglycerides, guar gum, cellulose gum, polysorbate 80 and carregeenan. read more

D'lites Emporium - Chocolate Buttercream and Cake Batter in a small cup ($3.85) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I walked into D'lites not knowing what to expect, but the low carb and low sugar drew me in. The cashier's name was Pam, and she was super helpful and knowledgeable about the options the store had. I love how the ice cream was light. I purchased the coffee and vanilla, and it was delicious. Because it's a more healthier ice cream, there isn't a super strong flavor, but it is soft serve, so it kinda makes sense. But nevertheless, it's delicious, and there are toppings, too. My personal favorite is gummy bears. read more

So good... And only 50 calories per serving!! So many delicious, guilt-free flavors. We love this place!

I always have a good experience here. Deliciously healthy ice cream and doesn't even compare to halo top or enlightened. Even better than frozen yogurt shops. I give it 4 stars because of the price. Yes it's good. But also a rip off. Very small amount of ice cream for anywhere from 5-9 dollars. Basically they have 4 flavors that change daily and then they always have chocolate or vanilla. They have about 12 toppings. They serve you so it's different than frozen yogurt spots and you pay per size. This locations parking can be kinda a hassle but if you go during slower times you should be able to find a spot. read more

D'lites Emporium - Small brownie with chocolate sprinkles. $5.60 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I love the D'lites I've cream itself. But I get the worst service at this location. but when I'm playing 30$ for two Ice creams I want the flavor options. It was 40 minutes till close and some of the flavors are allready down: Also the other d lite locations give you way more toppings and ice cream then the south tampa one, it's the most expensive. Its fine to charge more but if your charging more make sure you deliver top product and this one seems to always fall short. read more

Service was great but I didn't enjoy the "cookies and cream" flavor. Tasted just like plain vanilla and looked like it also. They give you a good amount for the price too bad the flavor was rather bland. read more

This review is solely based on poor customer service and practices from the new owner. I had a $50 gift card that was purchased for me. Because I live elsewhere and only visit 1-2 times each year, I didn't visit D'lites for a bit. When I came to use the gift card, they said there's new ownership and a new system that no longer honors gift cards for the business? So same business, same concept, but you choose to neglect gift cards that has no expiration date - because this was overlooked when changing systems? Not a good look. read more

I'm happy I found a place that has healthy and tasty frozen yogurt. The yogurt at D'Lites is low in sugar and only 50 calories per serving. I really like the fact that they do not use artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols which can be difficult to digest. Their prices are reasonable. They charge a fixed price based on the size of the cup. Many other yogurt places charge by weight so costs add up quickly and you don't get as good of a value. The downside is they do not have the extensive selection of toppings as I have see at some other yogurt shops. read more

This low-calorie, soft serve ice cream shop is conveniently located in the same plaza as Fitlife Foods. At only 50 calories per 4 oz, it's almost a guiltless pleasure. This is not your traditional ice cream or gelato, but I think it's pretty good and it satisfies a craving. It's soft, creamy and not overtly sweet. They don't use sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners to sweeten their ice cream, so you won't get that uncomfortable bloat that usually accompanies those ingredients. Behind the counter they have the soft serve machine with a limited number of flavors that you can get served on cups or cones with a variety of toppings you may add if you so desire (this changes the calorie content, of course). They use vanilla or chocolate as the base to create their other flavors. They do rotate these ready-to-serve flavors pretty much daily or you can always get more flavors to go from their prepackaged section. They also sell other nutrition conscious items such as protein bars, PB2 powder, Walden Farms dressings and sauces, low calorie syrups, etc. read more

D'cent D'lites The flavors rotate day to day and I think that promotes simplicity in choices but also made me have a case of FOMO. The special flavors I tried when I visited were creme brulee and Snickers. The ice cream was very creamy and was good, but didn't taste like Snickers at all. I did like that they had a lot of to-go options like pints of the non speciality flavors and ice cream sandwiches. Overall it was a good experience but I wasn't wow'd. read more

While much of the country is keeping away the cold with hot chocolate, I was headed for some ice cream during a Friday in December. Friends have been raving about this place long enough, and often enough, to make me keep it in mind until the next time I was craving something sweet. Today that time came. It is the holidays and I am trying to balance the good-for-me stuff with the good-to-me stuff so I was simply going for the ice cream without any toppings or other add-ons. The brightly lit, well maintained interior is inviting and the list of flavors featured that day was definitely full of enough good choices that I was have having a hard time deciding. I sampled the eggnog before settling on the salty caramel. Both were deliciously smooth, tasty and satisfying. This is a low sugar, low fat variety of frozen goodness so there is less guilt in every bite. I ordered a small and marveled how anyone could possibly devour a large because the small was a good sized serving. I like the idea of different flavors daily which must mean that each batch is fresh, yes? Great product, friendly service, appealing prices and a terrific way to beat the heat. I was D'Lited. read more

If you can imagine dozens of interesting flavors of ice cream with no cholesterol and 5% saturated fat and 50 calories - you can visualize taking a trip to this tiny storefront in South Tampa. There are other dLites in the Tampa Bay area, but if you live in South Tampa, this is the place. Does it taste good? It takes just like the flavors. Don't buy a cone and expect to go home without serving ice cream to the household. There is always a freezer with pint sizes so I tried an experiment on my family by buying some pints.. They recognized the flavors easily. They also make ice cream in such exotics as Snickers and Mounds. read more

Wow wow wow!! So I have been an avid d'lites follower for about 4 years now. My usual is the d'lites in Gainesville since I only go to Tampa for holiday and breaks. Let me tell you, once I tried this store in Tampa it was groundbreaking. I haven't had d'lites in awhile due to being quarantine and decided to get takeout here. I ordered the large size not knowing that they fill way more than the bowl and even mix all the toppings on the bottom and throughout the whole dessert! I ordered cookie dough, sprinkles & Oreo as my toppings and wow I'm amazed at how you really get the most bang for your buck. Flavors were amazing as usual and the best thing that I love about d'lites is how light their ice cream is. I never feel gross after eating it and it is such a great balance of flavors where it is not super sweet nor bland. Last but not least, it was such a guilt-less pleasure to enjoy on this hot Florida summer day. If you want a good enough portion, stick with the medium and trust me you will be more than satisfied! read more
