    Blueberry Cheesecake & Banana Pudding
    Cindy Z.

    I stopped by Ice Cream theory after reading some of the great reviews and loved it! The service was awesome - shout out to Jules! I tried both the blueberry cheesecake and a scoop of the banana pudding (the scoops are generous). Both delish and will definitely go back!

    The smell inside was this earthy stench from a candle/incense that didn't really suit the atmosphere of an ice cream parlor. However, the ice cream was delicious! Such a flavorful taste and texture to the ice cream that melted in my mouth once inserted via plastic spoon. I had the cookies and cream flavor and it was to live for! Would definitely recommend ice cream lovers in the area to stop by and enjoy the scrumptious dessert.

    One of the coolest places to take kids for ice cream in this area. So many whimsical options like unicorn cones and mermaid tails and shark cones. Lots of great flavors of ice cream as well as gelato. Very nice family owned business. I loved the ice cream cone that was surrounded by cotton candy so it looked like it was floating in a cloud. My niece was loved it too

    The googly eyes came with the shark fin! It even looks like my shark has a mouth from the oreo cookie ^_^

    Okay not only does their ice cream LOOK CUTE it also TASTES GOOD TOO. It's not just another instagram-pretty dessert that tastes average. Their ice cream is homemade from Ocala and tastes amazing. You can customize it to look adorable. I made mine look like a shark. The price to doll up your ice cream is a bit pricey, but it's so much fun! My shark fin came with googly eyes too and it looked super cute! This is my new favorite ice cream place ^_^

    Shark sugar cone with cotton candy and bubble gum ice cream! Yes, I'm like a kid when it comes to ice cream flavors and it was delicious!

    I loved this ice cream shop! The flavors. The toppings. The choices of cones. My guilty pleasure as a grown adult is bubble gum and cotton candy flavored ice cream. I got a scoop of each with the "shark sugar" on top (and cone). So good! The next time I'm in the area, I will make a point to go here. If you're in the area, treat yourself and check out Ice Cream Theory!

    Love this place the service is always great and their servings are quite generous! It's very clean and they have a variety of toppings/flavors to choose from. My wife and I both got a medium cup one the coffee chip and the other cookie dough. This is definitely our go to ice cream place in Oldsmar

    Great place with a great staff. Get the bubble waffle and you'll thank me later. Everything the family got was amazing. We will be back.

    This ice cream place is first off sooo freaking cute from the rainbow wall to the quotes all over the walls. And they have games at the tables. It is just sooo cute. I got a cloud cone which is a cone with ice cream then wrapped with COTTON CANDY!! I got limoncello sorbet in my cone and man was it refreshing. The cotton candy was light and fluffy and the whole thing was just so good even the cone. Plus guys it was seven bucks. This place is a little whimsical place that you can't help but feel happy in. The staff was really nice and let me sample different flavors before committing. Plus this spot is super instagramable. You have to go check it out the next time you get that hungry for some great ice cream.

    $7 for an instagram worthy ice cream cone - amazing. After a week of eating my sister said she could still go for something sweet. Insane, but since it was her last evening here I searching on Yelp for desserts near us. This one popped up and off we went. They have a ton of instagram worthy cones, like unicorn, bunny, buccs, rays, etc. They also have a ton of awesome additions to the cones, like dipping it in peanut butter with chocolate chips (which is the one I chose.) After trying a vast majority of their gelato (yes, they have gelato!) I went with the Bourbon Butter Pecan. My husband was shocked I didn't go with the bunny cone, but I was more interested in enjoying the taste than doing it for the 'gram. They put a HUGE scoop of ice cream or gelato on the cone. I was drowning in gelato and I was ok with it. I liked my flavor so much that I'll probably get it again, and I'm the type of person that likes trying variety. We were the only ones in the place at about 7 p.m. on a Monday, but I guess everyone else was eating dinner. This was our dinner. The decor of the place is super cute. Tons of awesome backdrops for photos.

    Nice little ice cream shop. Cute decor. Would be great for little kids what with the decorative cones and all, but it was just me out for some ice cream. Mint chocolate chip was decent, but not out of this world or anything.

    Clown cone
    Boon C.

    It is about 4.5 stars in my book. It does bring something fresh to the community. Is it an art, ice cream, or beautiful treat? All of that. They have the gelato and ice cream section. I would go to the gelato because they are more interesting. We taste many flavor. I got the banana foster and bourbon gelato. This two flavors is excellent taste and not find elsewhere. Then you can choose the type of make up or just regular cone. For the experience, I would go for the makeup cone they have. We got the clown cone. This is with cotton candy. We take a part and eat those separately. By the way, extra scoop is only a dollar more. The clown cone is $7 and extra scoop make it to the $8. Not cheap, but they give good quantity of gelato to make up the price.

    Bolt Cone
    Melony R.

    If I'm thinking about this as my dessert dinner after dinner I think it deserves a 5 star. *It's close to Westchase, which doesn't have good ice cream options (as of the date that I write this review in June 2018) *The ice cream is delicious *Creative cone creations are whimsical and tasty *The Shop is clean and inviting *The Service is fun and friendly I can't think of any cons. I've known this parking lot to get full fast, but I found a spot right up front in the designated parking slots for Ice Cream Theory. So far my favorite ice cream is the banana pudding and my fave cone is the lucky which has a sweet icing rolled in lucky charms cereal. My kid loved the Lightning cone which features a white chocolate lightning bolt dyed blue...great for little Tampa Bay Lightning fans. He also likes the cloud cone. Who doesn't like cotton candy AND ice cream! So glad this cute shop opened nearby. I'm a fan and will be a regular!

    I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream

    My review is based off of the decor and not the actual Ice Cream itself. Although very tasty, the Ice Cream I had was a bit much too sweet for me, which didn't allow me to finish it. I had a chocolate chip and peanut butter cone stuffed with moose tracks ice cream, with a unicorn horn shaped piece of candy on top that sent my blood sugar through the roof! After taking a few bites and pictures with the cone, I had no other choice but to throw the remains in the trash which was a bummer for the price. As far as the decor goes, I would give this place 5 stars. Everything ranges from different shades of pink and yellow, and the lighting is just right for the perfect selfie. I also liked the fact that the girl working the front counter was very sweet and told us a little about the owner.

    My first visit to Craft Street Kitchen the other day was such a great experience. I came with a…read moregroup of 5 girls for dinner, and I was genuinely impressed from start to finish. Taylor took amazing care of us. Honestly, his service stood out in a way you don't always expect at a more casual spot ~ he was attentive, friendly, and really on top of everything without ever making us feel rushed or overlooked. It made the whole experience feel elevated! The food was just as good. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken without potato salad, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. I also had Endless Summer cocktail that was smooth, delicious, and perfectly balanced ~ not too strong, not too sweet Even though the place was busy and had a really lively, energetic vibe, the food came out quickly, which was impressive given how packed it was. You can tell it's a true scratch kitchen, and I absolutely love that everything feels thoughtfully prepared. I left impressed and already looking forward to coming back to try more dishes. It's a lively, welcoming spot with great food and standout service. Plenty of parking, too!

    Craft Street remains one of our weekly dinner and sometimes brunch spots. The food is consistently…read moregood and those ever changing specials keep us coming back to try new tasty dishes and drinks though I wouldn't be mad if they started rotating every month again! That said, what may be even more important to us is the service. The staff at Craft are phenomenal. We have grown to love so many of the folks who work here who greet you with a smile, remember your favorite drink and just make the experience so much more enjoyable than just dining out. You really can't go wrong but shout out to Alex, Matt, Tori, Des and Emma! P.S. Please bring back the yippie hippie chicken salad but make it the pecan crusted chicken, pleaseeeee!
