    The service was impeccable and the ice cream was delish best ice cream on the beach! love it

    Great spot to cool off next to the beach! Came on Friday afternoon it was a little busy but line moved quickly and we were able to find a few chairs to lounge in. Was so difficult to choose between ice cream or shaved ice, so I got a rootbeer float that was absolutely delicious and had the perfect amount of ice cream. Highly recommend!

    We almost always stop by here after having dinner in Pass a grille. Friendly staff and fresh flavors with generous portions. Can't go wrong!

    What an amazing family owned place. Smoothies and house frozen coffee drink were great. Great experience. Can't wait to be back !

    This place is literally in the waterfront. Short walk from the hot sand for a delicious treat or a quick snack. Amazing family friendly environment. Smoothies and house coffee frozen drink were excellent. Going to St Pete Beach should certainly include a trip to Paradise Sweets. Such a great atmosphere . Can't wait to be back!

    The ice cream was so delicious!! It's well priced, tasty, and the workers are so nice! This place not only has ice cream, but it has, drinks, candy, chips, and Italian ice!! Highly recommend stopping by!!

    Great place to grab ice cream or something sweet before heading cross the street to enjoy the ocean views. My wife and I each ordered ice cream - mine in a bowl and hers in a cone. The service was great and fast, and they offer a good variety of flavors and options.

    Small little shaved ice, ice cream or coffee cafe that is tucked away across from the beautiful sand beaches at 8th and Golf Way. I was satisfied with the coffee and my kids were torn between the plethora of ice cream flavors or the shaved ice. Either one you decide, you'll be lovin' the decision to swing by Paradise Sweets.

    It's great that a common ice cream place is placed right across the beach. They also have candies and coffees/teas. Three stars because I think it's overrated. Some of the staff were super accommodating and kind and others gave an attitude. Their flavors aren't anything special, however, the ice cream is real. It melts fast so that means little or no emulsifiers in it. They have a few tables inside and out, both on the sort of patio and around the side of 8th. The tables aren't cleaned regularly, so be prepared to reposition yourself and belongings or grab some napkins prior to or get nasty! They didn't have mint-(choco)-chip when I was there..... that's my go-to flavor! I tried a couple of flavors and got a small cup with two flavors for $3.50. I then wanted a coffee post purchase and I wasn't able to locate a garbage bin to toss out my empty cup. I asked one of the boys behind the counter where the bins are and he said outside (I didn't want to go outside, I was outside all day!) and he said that they're overflowing, and then when he saw my frustration because the main door was flooded with families entering and ordering he said there's one inside right between the door and the counter.... again! That's right where it was overwhelming with people. I asked if he could take it and if I could place an order for coffee. He completely ignored me and turned his head the other way. Then he motioned for some newcomers to order and basically got rid of me. It did the trick. I grabbed my stuff and pushed through the swarm of people and the trash bin was overstuffed inside too. Half of my rubbish fell in the gap between the bin and the ice cream counter. I don't think I'll be back. The girls working behind the counter we're courteous and did amazingly. I gave a $0.50 tip for the ones who initially helped me. ----- After messaging in depth with the owner, I've learned that the ingredients in the Vanilla ice cream are as follows: Cream, milk, skim milk, sugar, whey, stabilizer (locust bean gum, guar gum), vanilla extract, vanilla bean. Contains Milk. Happy eats!

Located on the ground level of the beautiful Don Cesar Hotel, this oasis of goodies and coffee is exactly what we needed and when we needed it. When you walk by Uncle Andy's Ice Cream Parlor, you can't help but feel pulled in by the sights of the brightly highlighted coffee and ice cream bar. Once inside the shop, you're immediately surrounded by shelves and tables of snacks and goodies. They have just about everything you would need in one spot from breakfast and lunch sandwiches, which they heat up for you upon request, to chocolates, liquor, and snacks. There's definitely something for everyone at Uncle Andy's! The folks there are so helpful and accomodating, as they even offer to allow you to place your order with the restaurant next door and take it to go from Uncle Andy's! Right outside the doors of this amazing coffee shop is the courtyard leading to the beach. We carried our breakfast and coffee out toward the beach to the couches, where we enjoyed the sunrise and breakfast with a view. I highly recommend the Don Cesar, and frequent Andy's Ice Cream Parlor while you're there!

    Addicted to the Bean is not a coffee shop. It is a support group for people who accidentally became…read moreemotionally dependent on breakfast sandwiches. I stopped in for "just a coffee" and somehow left with: a California Egg & Cheese on ciabatta, a spinach-feta croissant, hash browns, and enough caffeine to hear colors. First off, whoever created the Breakfast Club sandwich deserves their own holiday. Egg, turkey, bacon, American cheese, tomato on buttered sourdough?? That's not breakfast. That's therapy with a pickle spear. And the California Egg & Cheese with guacamole? Absolutely disrespectful. I took one bite and immediately started nodding like I understood cryptocurrency. Then came the Mozzarella Basil Avocado Toast, which sounds like something a yoga instructor orders after saying "I'm really trying to stay balanced lately." Meanwhile I added bacon because balance is important. Also... the menu saying breakfast is served all day is one of the most emotionally supportive things I've seen in years. Nothing heals a rough afternoon quite like ordering eggs at 2:47 PM while pretending your life is together. The coffee? Dangerous. I now understand why the place is called Addicted to the Bean because after one iced coffee I suddenly: answered emails, cleaned my car, forgave my enemies, and briefly considered running for public office. The vibes are immaculate too. Chill local coffee shop energy where everyone either: 1. works remotely, 2. owns a golden retriever, or 3. just came in for a bagel and accidentally stayed two hours. Shoutout to the cranberry pecan chicken salad too. Whoever decided chicken salad needed cranberries and pecans was clearly operating on a higher intellectual plane than the rest of us. And the prices?? In this economy?? I was expecting the avocado toast alone to require a small down payment. Final thoughts: If you live on Isla and haven't been here yet, what are you even doing? This place has: elite breakfast sandwiches, solid lunch options, fresh pastries, coffee strong enough to restart your ancestry, and enough cozy energy to make you briefly believe you could become "a morning person." 10/10. I came for caffeine and left spiritually rebuilt.

I ordered a Cafe latte add vanilla and vanilla cold foam. I also ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg and cheddar and paid extra for 2 slices of bacon. A side of hashbrown. Was the food edible? Yes however the croissant was stale, smoothed and chewy. The bacon was non existent just a few tiny crumbles. The egg was fine and ample cheddar but the avocado.... Oh the avocado. So gross. It had that flavor once an avocado has passed it's prime... Like paste yuck. Had to scrape any evidence of it off my sandwich. The hash brown was a wedge, not hot, not crispy, more like a sponge. Zero flavor. The Cafe latte.... Not a Cafe latte. Best I could tell us perhaps there is coffe in there somewhere but there is so much vanilla sweetner it's Un drinkable that was zero foam I paid extra for. Honestly I won't come her again

Large inside seating area with low tops and working tables with power plugs. Just opened 3/25/22. Pro tip for those of you not familiar with this area (and this is not related to Starbucks in any way). Do NOT think about parking in the parking lot here, grabbing a coffee to make yourself a customer of a business in the Dolphin Village development, and heading to the beach. The entity that owns the Dolphin Village common areas and parking lot employs a predatory towing company, A1 Towing, that will come and scoop your car up on most any given weekend during the spring to fall months, regardless of if you bought something from a business an hour or two prior. Don't risk it; you'll have to get a ride to A1 and buy your car out of impound in cash, and the way they yank it up onto their trucks probably will have damaged it too.

What I find fascinating is not only is it a bakery, but also a mini grocery store selling Italian food. It was a bit confusing to order food because there were too cash registers open on opposite ends of the counter so we weren't sure where the line started. We ended up following the crowd and ordered fairly quickly. The pastries we ordered were so good. There was a lot to choose from but we ended up going with the lobster tail and lemon cake. The lobster tail is massive and completely overflowing with custard. By far one of the best pastries I've had. Even though we enjoyed what we ordered, we felt like it was a little expensive. Both items cost about 15 dollars but since it's a tourist spot, I wasn't surprised
