    A variety of sandwiches drinks and ice cream! The ice cream was so creamy and not overly too sweet. Some of the best ice creams in IRB. There is a lot of seating inside and out. We were served quickly and the cashier was so sweet. Can't wait to try new flavors.

    I'll "bury the lead story", by starting with: Kooky Coconut is a small cute shop on Gulf Blvd, the main street in Indian Rocks Beach FL, just a block from the beach. They have "the only shell shop in Indian Rocks Beach", with all sorts of trinkets and souvenirs. We had ice cream cones, one with luscious toasty toasted coconut, and a vanilla with big sweet cherry pieces. The real headline here? Kooky Coconut makes a great Cuban Sandwich. We come here pretty often. We love their "Tampa" version: Roast pork is marinated in a traditional mojo sauce mainly of orange, lemon, lime, plenty of garlic, some mint and oregano. It's tender, a little sweet, and very flavorful. It's sliced thin and layered with ham, Genoa salami, and Swiss cheese. And the sandwich is pressed and crispy-toasted in fresh handmade Cuban bread. Very rich! They brag, and we agree. This was again delicious, and it's our go-to, and in part that's because their smaller 4.5-inch Cuban is only $7.25! You can get up to a 12-inch for $16. (Jan 2026). They have a variety of Cuban-sandwich spinoffs including an Island version with mojo-marinated meats and pesto sauce, a Chicken one and a Chicken & Pesto, and even a Reuben Cuban with corned-beef, sauerkraut, Swiss-cheese, & reuben-sauce! They make burgers, veggie-burgers, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, bowls, veggie versions of those, chips, guacamole, hot-dogs, and even crab-cakes! They have shakes and malt-flavored malteds, floats and smoothies, soft-drinks, beer & wine, hot-chocolate, espresso, coffee, decaf, affogato ice cream with espresso, almond-milk, coconut-milk, and good rich ice cream, sherbet, and sundaes, too, in around 20 flavors. When we went this time (Jan 2026), we ate at their umbrellaed tables where we could see the sunset sky. There's outdoor seating for around 45, indoor seating for maybe 8 more, and parking for about 8 cars for their customers. They don't have any extra parking for a walk on the beach, even if you bought something, so please don't do that to them. Don't worry. There is beach parking nearby, and there's a $5-per-day trolly between Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach that stops half-a-block away. Look for the bright sun symbol on a round blue sign. You could eat here under $12, every day for a month, and never get the same thing twice! And they have really nice staff making and serving all this delicious fare. We always make time for Kooky Coconut :-)

    Man I love this place. Been coming here every summer for the last 20 years. The ice cream is just so refreshing during a beach day. The flavors are always so unique and reliably tasty. The only thing I'd say could better is having more people working. Every time I go it's 1-2 people working and it takes a while for them to make their way through the queue of people since they can really only handle working on 1 order at a time, especially if there is a hot food request.

    Ok...what a great find! The Tampa Cuban is amazing, and the tacos and burrito super good!! And don't forget to grab a coffee or some ice cream while you are there!

    Right next to Kooky Coconut is usually our go to for parking on Indian Rocks Beach. But Kooky Coconut actually has its own parking lot and you can't park there for the beach but the parking is adjacent to it. Kooky Coconut is always busy for a good reason. They have everything. I think it's popular for ice cream, but they also have coffee, other drinks, milk shakes, snacks, sandwiches, tacos, & bowls just to name a few. I was lucky enough to order my Island Cuban sandwich right away. But it did take a while to make. There is a sign I saw after I paid that it takes about 15-20 min. I think it took at least half hour. I forgot how long it took after I had this sandwich. The island Cuban sandwich has pesto. Def diffferent than a usual Cuban sandwich. It's nice and crunchy and flavorful and warm. It was quite impressive. Definitely a good portable bring to the beach sandwich. It comes with your choice of chips too. There are a few tables inside with nice a/c and a restroom, or an outside back patio, or walk to the beach and bring your perfect sandwich. Happy I finally tried it.

    Great service! We just wanted a hot dog. It was the best we had in a long time. Not a drive-by great place to stop and eat. Good prices and clean.

    Stopped by for lunch and walked into the kooky coconut which is basically a very small shack looking building about 30 yards from the beach. It 100% fits the beach island vibes and with their menu and ice cream selection I would say it fits the needs for most people. With that being said, we ordered cheeseburgers, burritos, burrito bowls and a tampa cuban for lunch. (they also serve ice cream for dessert) The staff inside comprised primarily of young college aged kids were super polite, walked us through the ordering process and made sure we got everything we needed. The absolute star of the show was the Tampa Cuban. (A standard Cuban with Genoa salami on it) The sandwich was hot, bread was crispy on the outside while staying soft on the inside. Ingredients melted together very well and the flavors were spot on and that disappeared quick. Unfortunately, thats where the flavor party ends. The cheeseburgers reminded us a burger you get that fair. Does it do the job? yes, but its nothing special and under-seasoned. The burrito and burrito bowl (both chicken) had absolutely no flavor. The chicken seemed like it came out one of those freezer bags and then warmed up for the burrito/bowl. Beans didnt seem seasoned and the yellow rice again, seemed like it was prepackaged. The ice cream we got was good, but as far as ice cream goes, there are other spots on the island that you can get the same thing at. I think if you are staying right there, this is a good option for some quick grub/ice cream, but other than that, pass for us.

    I wish I was on vacation longer so I could go back and eat this sandwich. They are Cuban is complete perfection. Best I've ever had year after year. I need to try other things on the menu, but this is just so good. And the fact you can get it in different sizes is amazing.

    Key lime pie ice cream

    Great place on the beach. Delicious ice cream with interesting flavors. The key lime pie ice cream was the best. We visited several times during our week long visit to Indian Rocks Beach.

    By far the best ice cream I have had. Blueberry cheesecake on the bottom and raspberry swirl on top! Highly recommend

    By for the best ice cream I have tasted while being in Florida. It's right next to the beach.

    I love a great sandwich! And kooky coconut has them! I visited after a day at the beach. It was a 4 minute drive from where we parked at the beach. Additionally this restaurant does have their own parking lot do if you were concerned that's not something to worry about. You can stay parked there as long as you are patronizing the restaurant but you can't leave it there if you decide to go to the beach. The service was quick and smooth very easy system for ordering and getting your food. There is inside and outside seating but we sat inside to avoid the rain. I ordered a pesto chicken which was good. I would have liked a bit more pesto but I have no other feedback besides that. The bread was great the cheese to chicken ratio was very balanced. My friend devoured her cuban so im going to say it was delicious. The inside is small and quaint but so Floridian. Beachy and seashell decor make the ambience very appealing. They also have a store where you can purchase shells and tshirts. Check out their website if you are interested in purchasing before your visit. I will be back to try the ice cream! Thanks for the hospitality Kooky Coconut

The inside of the store is old Florida~ with souvenirs ranging from manatee wine holders to seashell decorations. There are bags of locally-picked oranges and cartons of fresh orange juice for sale as well, but we went for the soft serve. It's a vanilla/orange swirl made with fresh orange juice. The creaminess of the vanilla with the tartness of the orange created a refreshing, nostalgic flavor. The attendant was really sweet. Yellow Banks Groves is a great spot if you're craving soft serve, needing a local shop to showcase to people visiting from out of town, or if you're looking for a memorable gift.

Drove the 30 minutes back home just to see there is black dirt/mold/dust floating all over the container. Called the store hoping they had an answer to what it was just to get a very unsure staff member who says "it may be debris from the peel." They offered I return for a refund however I live to far to make it worth that. My guess is it is mold from a juicer that isn't cleaned regularly. Besides that the orange vanilla swirl ice cream was yummy but I won't be rushing back. Be sure to check your containers before purchasing.

Also, a strange but important observation: the fries that come with the appetizer are somehow better than the fries that come as a side. I don't know how that's possible, but someone in the kitchen is clearly playing favorites. Service was good overall. Our waitress was attentive, but she had that "mom/grandma who's tired of your nonsense" energy. Not rude -- just very direct. You knew where you stood, and honestly, there's something refreshing about that. Overall, good food, good experience, and if you're looking for crab, it's definitely worth the stop. Just be prepared to eat what you're given and not argue with Grandma.
