Hampton Chocolate Factory, I might love you. Truly. I walked in expecting ice cream and walked out questioning every dessert I've ever had in my life. After a quick search for something sweet, I had no idea I was about to stumble into a full-blown dessert revelation. From the moment I took that first bite, it was over for me. The ice cream? Silky. Decadent. Outrageously good. I didn't just eat it--I devoured it. Every last spoonful. No shame, no regrets, only joy. The place feels like a tiny temple excellence, and I'm now a devoted follower. It was absolutely worth the trip, and it's sitting firmly at the top of my list for my next visit. Honestly, if loving ice cream is wrong, I don't want to be right. read more

I come here at least once a week--that's how good it is. Everything is honestly delicious, but the hazelnut toffee one is my favorite, it never misses. Perfect if you're craving something sweet and a little indulgent. The staff is always super nice and friendly, even when it's busy, which makes the whole experience better. The vibe is cozy and easy, not too fancy, just a good spot to treat yourself. Prices are fair for what you're getting, and parking has always been pretty easy for me, which makes it even more convenient to keep coming back. read more

Holy heaven! This place is just as extravagant as all the pictures make it out to be. It's located on the Wharf so there are plenty of places to choose from but when it comes to desserts this is a must try. They are most famous for their 5lbs ice cream cone challenge which the worker mentioned is actually a pretty common order. I stuck with the cashier's favorite - I forgot what it was called but it was a cookie butter sundae with some cheesecake pieces and a white chocolate drizzle. It was so sweet but tasted so good. In hindsight, it's definitely doable to split between 2-3 people. read more

If you have a sweet tooth or just appreciate truly high-quality desserts, Hampton Chocolate Factory is one of those places you have to visit. What really sets them apart is the quality of their ice cream. You can immediately taste it, smooth, rich, decadent chocolate that doesn't rely on artificial sweetness. I tried a few different items, and each one impressed me in its own way. Their chocolate is silky and refined, not overly sugary, and has that deep, authentic cocoa flavor you only get from high-end chocolate. The textures are spot-on too, creamy, crunchy, melty... everything you want in a dessert. The presentation was another standout. Everything looks beautiful, thoughtfully arranged, and totally Instagram-worthy. The staff was friendly and helpful, and they're genuinely passionate about their products, which makes the experience even better. Overall, Hampton Chocolate Factory is a must-try for chocolate/ice cream lovers. Top-tier quality, beautiful presentation, and flavors that actually taste like they were made with skill and premium ingredients. A true gem and easily one of my favorite dessert spots. read more

We made a stop a Sparksman wharf last night for a sweet treat from the Hampton Chocolate Factory. It was still a little bit cold out, so we decided to get there hot chocolate. A little busy inside but not terrible. I decided on a White Chocolate Hot Chocolate that was really good, they coated the cup in White Chocolate and mini marshmallows then they added a milk chocolate hot chocolate drink into the cup then add whipped cream more mini marshmallows and topped it with more white chocolate! It tasted so good and Riley who made our treats executed them perfectly. read more

If you're in Tampa and looking for a nice place to grab a bite, this little area around Hampton Chocolate Factory is great, but you need to make sure you stop by for dessert! While they have a variety of chocolates, it was the massive and delicious ice cream that drew us in. FOOD: A nice variety of chocolate delectables to choose from but we can in specifically for the ice cream. Even sharing it, it was a mouthful! They pile it on, but each bite tasted great. Sometimes places like this put TOO much on and then you can't really savor the ice cream but we didn't feel like that was the case at all. Totally worth this high quality dessert. The rest just didn't stand out to me. It was the same kind of factory chocolate you can find at any higher end chocolate place. But I would come just for this dessert. SERVICE: Good! Everyone was nice and I love that they give you the ice cream on a tray so it doesn't drip all over the place. Portions are great too. COST: Worth it but a bit pricey. Not bad at all though. For about $15, you get a beautiful and delicious sundae you can share (or eat it all yourself) read more

Had the pecan candy bar sundae and it was huge and delicious!! The service was great. I asked if they had root beer floats and the guy said they didn't but that he would keep it in my mind for the future (not sure if he really has any say in the matter, but it was nice to be heard). Ambiance was cute. We sat inside and ate our sundae, which was messy but served in a tray so it could catch all the falling bits. Also noticed they give you trays for your ice cream cones so they don't get your hands all sticky with drips. Very clever! There were truffles, candy bars, Dubai chocolates and little candy balls of all sorts of flavors. Will definitely be back! read more

The Hampton Chocolate Factory has been on my list of places to try for a while now. I went for the first time a few weeks ago with my sister and we ordered one cookie dough king sundae and one fudge brownie bliss sundae. Looking back, we definitely could have shared or gotten mini sundaes, as we were not able to finish our ice cream. I like that I was able to customize my ice cream to just have vanilla soft serve, rather than the chocolate-vanilla swirl it is made with originally. The shop is so cute inside, and they have so many sweets to choose from whether you're craving ice cream, chocolate covered strawberries, or other chocolate confections. One thing to note is that there is not a ton of inside seating and it can get a bit crowded, but there is plenty of space outside to enjoy your ice cream. The staff was super friendly and the attention to detail was so impressive. They make ice cream look like a work of art, truly! read more

I've had this place bookmarked and happened to be in the neighborhood for lunch. While I did not get to have the giant cone at my visit, I did enjoy my ice cream! The prices are on the high end. I realize this is because everything is a sundae. You cannot find just plain ice cream on the menu unless you just don't choose any toppings. The cost of most toppings are already included in the price you are paying though. Normally, I would just regular ice cream but I decided to try and get some value and chose the chocolate chip sundae. Service wasn't very fast. They made each order carefully though. I watched as the worker scooped a crazy amount of chips into my cup, filled it with ice cream, rolled it in some more chips, and then drizzled it with chocolate. Served on a plate because that's the only safe way. I was pretty full from my meal and there was way more chewing involved with eating this sundae than I'd like, but I think it's a fun place to get something different and still of high quality. I would like to go back with a focus on giving this place another go. read more

We've come to this place twice. We really love their soft serve - it tastes delicious, creamy and on point. The location is in a beautiful spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. Unfortunately there's only two stools and a bench for indoor seating which is unfortunate when paired with super hot weather. Can get pretty busy and crowded but overall they are super quick and friendly. Would come back! read more

This location at the Sparkman Wharf was nice. The store was clean and the service was good. The ice cream was incredible. The soft serve is so rich in flavor, and the size of the cones we got was massive. I ordered the Sea Salt Caramel Crunch and my gf got the Pecan Candy Bar. Both were 5 stars for sure and such a great value for the price. Only downside is the cones can get messy quick. read more

A great chocolate shop in Sparkman Wharf, they serve things like prepackaged chocolate and handmade marshmallows. You can also buy decadent sundaes and cups of chocolate covered strawberries. We were walking past this shop and were drawn in by the sign advertising their Dubai chocolate specials. They were selling Dubai chocolate sundaes and Dubai chocolate covered strawberries. I believe they'll continue to sell them until June. The interior has a very luxe vibe with a black and white motif. There's also a giant statue of an ice cream cone which makes for good pictures. The person who took our order was very sweet and our chosen ice cream was ready soon after. The sundae itself was absolutely delicious! The pistachio cream was to die for and the ice cream was smooth, creamy, and complimented the pistachio nicely. It's definitely a huge portion for one person to eat alone, although it's so good that you might not want to share! I would recommend any chocolate or ice cream lover to check this place out! read more

Hampton Chocolate Factory is one of me and my bestie's absolute favorite dessert places! It's our go-to whenever we're craving something sweet. She always gets the frozen s'more and is completely obsessed with it every single time--it never disappoints. I'm usually torn between the cup of chocolate-covered strawberries or the chocolate ice cream with brownie pieces, and honestly, you can't go wrong with either. Everything tastes fresh, rich, and perfectly indulgent. The vibe is fun, the desserts are amazing, and it's the perfect place to treat yourself and catch up with friends. We'll definitely keep coming back! read more

We randomly stumbled upon the Hampton chocolate factory. The restaurant was nice and clean. The ice cream was okay nothing too crazy even though the marshmallow was a nice addition to it I'm not used to at other ice cream shops. The service was okay. We were waiting for 5 mins thinking they were making our ice cream but they came and asked us what we were waiting for. We noticed this same thing with someone in front of us. So the service could be a little better. But other than that. It is a nice spot. read more

I stopped by after working all day at a festival. There wasn't much of a line to order and I only waited about 5 minutes. I ordered a large marshmallow smores as I haven't ate all day and it was so worth it! The mini marshmallows gave it the crunch. I usually have to be in a bug sweet tooth mood and this was perfect! Vanilla and chocolate ice cream, with marshmallow cream and chocolate syrup and graham crackers. Definitely a must dessert place to go to when in the downtown Tampa area! read more

This place is truly a decadent dessert destination, and I only wish they had a location in Orlando because I'd be a regular. I tried their strawberry chocolate sundae, and it was everything--rich, velvety chocolate paired with fresh strawberries and the perfect amount of whipped cream. The presentation alone was enough to make my foodie heart happy, but the flavor? Absolutely next level. The shop itself has a sleek, modern vibe that makes the experience feel extra special. Service was friendly, and my order came out quickly, even with a steady flow of customers. If you're a chocolate lover, this spot is a must-visit! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. Just waiting for them to bring one to Orlando! read more

My first visit was not that great of an experience. I had great expectations from what I seen on social media. I chose the coffee Affogato because I love both. Turns out it was a bit too much liquid or something. I'm not sure but I did not thoroughly enjoy it. Very little ice cream to taste. I do have great anticipation to come back again but definitely get something else. Not much seating inside but additional seating outside. I will pick something else the next time I come. Customer service was helpful. read more

We took our children here before flying home since we had all seen the viral ice cream. It smells indulgent in this building and all of the desserts look delicious. The cashier walked us through the menu and offered his favorites and lots of choices. We enjoyed chocolate strawberries as well as Dubai chocolate sundaes with crackle cups (cups with chocolate inside). Everything was delicious but it is not cheap. We spent about $75 and my one son got plain strawberries. It is in a cool little outside area you can walk around and hang out in near the aquarium. I highly recommend checking it out! read more

All I can say about this place is WOW. I've seen it all over social media and knew I had to try it during my trip to Tampa. It was even better than I ever imagined! The workers were so lovely and helped my friends and I decide since we were all overwhelmed with too many amazing options. I went with the the fudge brownie bliss sundae - subbing for twist ice cream, dark chocolate drizzle, and PB drizzle. Everything is super customizable! I definitely recommend the mini size as they LOAD it up. The brownies tasted SO phenomenal and SO fresh and the sauces were so warm and delicious. The actual soft serve itself was unreal! They even put a layer of sauce on the bottom and toppings in the middle so every bite has something special. I loved everything about this; I would say it was a life-changing sweet treat! I will certainly be back on my next trip to Tampa. read more

Decadent homemade chocolates and desserts, located in Sparkman Wharf. Unique ice cream and sundae flavors, Belgium waffles, homemade marshmallows and shakes. Famous for their frozen s'mores on a stick, but I wasn't a fan. Unfortunately, tasted too much like a very burnt marshmallow.

Literally some of the best ice cream I've had! I ordered the medium strawberry Sunday on a cone. It reminded me of the strawberry shortcake ice cream bars I'd get when I was a kid. The ice cream itself was very creamy and the shortcake bits were crunchy. Also, be prepared to be loaded on sugar because the ice cream was HUGE. Def worth it! Keep in mind there's pretty limited seating inside. read more
