After a lackluster dinner, we needed something sweet before bed and scrambled to find a place open late at night. Luckily we found the Revolution and wow!! Sitting at the end of a strip mall with little outside to attract attention, this place is a hidden gem!! Fun flavors with quirky names, everything tasted fresh and homemade, and served by the friendliest young man behind the counter. To the owner : You should know whoever the guy behind the counter was on Friday night (I forgot to get his name) deserves a raise. A small crowd was there when we came in and he handled everything like a rock star! Fast, friendly, knowledgeable, he's great! And the ice cream itself? Just as amazing! I got a freshly made waffle cone stuffed with peanut butter ice cream and a "jelly" drizzle over the top, while the lovely Spensyr had a 'Breakfast Sundae' that was an eclectic mix of flavors that combined perfectly ! There isn't a lot of decor or ambiance here, but that's not why you go for ice cream at 10pm. read more

The staff was unbelievably friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They have a great selection of locally made flavors with a twist. I came specifically for the chocolate shock , and it did not disappoint--so rich, creamy, and delicious. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to try more flavors! Highly recommend. My friend got a chocolate habanero(spicy) and she loved it. read more

Revolution Ice Cream - Chocolate and chocolate habanero - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

One of the best ice cream spots in Tampa! We always receive the best service when we visit. I love the that there's enough seating for guests inside and a few outside. The decor is so cool and I love that they showcase local artists work. I really enjoyed the banana pudding ice cream and my son loved grandma's Oreo ice cream. If you're looking to try new and delicious flavors, this is the place to visit. read more

How I heard of this place: We found Revolution Ice Cream while searching for yummy treats in the area, and a friend recommended it, after we enjoyed lunch within the same, tiny strip-mall. We had to check it out. Type of cuisine: Sugar-rush infused ice cream creations! Sure to please all palettes, all cravings and fully stocked with every sweet treat. Ambiance: Dark and alternative, the space feels like it would fit better in grungy pacific west coast cities like Seattle or Portland. Quirky stickers, seating and painted decor sparsely cover the space, where a young man works by himself. He's friendly, welcoming and enjoys the lighthearted banter with customers. What I ordered: The Cookie Monster Sundae - with Mint Want Cookies ice cream, Grandma's Oreo ice cream, Oreo crumbles, chocolate syrup and the addition of triple chocolate brownies - at the gift of our server. Kids selected waffle cone bowls with ice creams of choice (strawberry, caramel vanilla pralines) topped with whipped cream, gummy worms, vanilla wafers, Biscoff cookie crumbles and salted caramel drizzle. For my husband, the Breakfast Sundae with Beauregard's Blueberry Muffin Tops ice cream, Callie's hotcakes ice cream, Matty's Fatty Rolls ice cream, bacon brittle, streusel, maple syrup and cinnamon sugar. What I loved: The Mint Want Cookies ice cream and the Oreo ice cream. Strawberry was amazingly flavorful and light, tasting of real strawberries. Why I loved it: The creations are fun! It makes for the perfect (large) treat, especially after an overpriced and tiny lunch next door. Cost: High read more

Revolution Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Gluten-free ice cream that doesn't skimp on flavor? Yep, they've got it...in multiple flavors. Don't worry. If you like to keep it simple, their vanilla rocks! Excellent service, superior ice cream in fun-inspired flavors, friendly atmosphere. Wish I'd found them earlier. Now they're on my list of reasons to return to Tampa. Imagine a party in your mouth. read more

Super fun flavor choices and the workers are very patient with samples and such. The ice cream is also super creamy and delicious! I wish the sundaes had more of the toppings on them, but everything was delicious. The decor is really cute as well and makes it a fun atmosphere. read more

Revolution Ice Cream - Eurotrash sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

One visit and already our favorite ice cream shop in Tampa!!! Yes the two different ice cream & Float were great but the service by Michael was the best part of an excellent experience. He was kind to give our Mother in Law a discount for her 98th Birthday with a smile!! He was very engaging and helpful with their many flavored menu. read more

First of all the customer service here is BOMB. The ice cream is amazing but the people working there are true gems. They care so much about the customers and it shows. When you walk in you instantly feel like you are in someone's house getting ready to eat dessert! I went to dinner with a few friends at Mekenita next door and decided we needed some ice cream after. We walked on over and I had a sample of the coffee, caramel, cinnamon ice cream (I think that's what it was) which combines like all my favorite flavors. It was amazing. My husband got strawberry ice cream and our friends tried the vegan selections. Everyone was so satisfied with their ice cream and the service. read more

I really like Revolution! They are a solid Heights staple for me now. Service is fast, and staff are super great. The place is a little small, but I haven't had a big issue getting seating when I'm there. Their flavors are really delicious and super unique. Ever had syrup on your ice cream? No? Well you can here, and it's suuuuper good! Euro trash, Matt's Fatty Rolls, and the 813 are probably the best flavors they offer to the non-lactose free community. However, they do lack multiple vegan/dairy free options. I try to stay away from dairy as much as I can, but sometimes having to eat the coconut/vanilla flavor wears on me and I just want a different option. When they have the coffee and Oreos, I get excited because it's a great dairy free alternative! Also, the seasonal Christmas dairy free option IS SO GOOD. My favorite ice cream they make for sure. Overall, 4 stars. If they could bring in some different dairy free flavors, I'd rate it even higher! read more

On my daughter's birthday, we went for ice t cream after dinner. Revolution was next to one of my favorite sandwich shops, so thought we would give it a try. Folks behind the counter were quite nice, didn't rush us, and helpful. Atmosphere was quirky, which i like. Interesting flavors with fun names. But i am an ice cream snob. If you are quirky and have fun names, you set expectations high. The ice cream was just ok. I expected flavors that stood out, they were just average. The texture of the ice cream seemed like it was half melted, which i am not a fan of. Prices were very reasonable. So price point, service, and atmosphere are very good. But the ice cream, at least the night we went, could have been better. Improve the ice cream and this is a 5 star place. read more

Visited this shop because it was so close to zoo Tampa. Area around location is a little sketchy but the strip of shops it is in looked nice with black and white signs that matched. Inside isn't much to write home about, only a few places to sit. Flavors are nice and unique and waffle cones made fresh. 1 small scoop is 4.75 and it is a very small portion. Brought my three boys there and they got the banana pudding flavor, Oreo scream, and chocolate shock. The chocolate tasted icy like it was freezer burnt but the Oreo one was creamy. Banana pudding was very artificial banana extract forward. Nice lady working though :) may not return but it was a nice stop on the way home. read more

Revolution has really unique flavors. The mint want cookie had just the right amount of mix ins. The caramel praline tastes like a beachside candy shop. The staff was hustling, there were 2 people working and 8-10 customers and it created a bit of a back up. There is limited parking and seating at the venue, right now there isn't much else in the plaza so it still works. read more

My kids and I make a yearly tradition (if not more) to go to this location for the last day of school. Here are some reasons why: Wonderful service! Always so knowledgeable and friendly! Such creative and delicious types of ice cream with many variety of handmade waffle cones! It might sound unique, but your taste buds will thank me! Clean, upbeat vibe that makes you feel welcoming and allows for everyone to try something different. We haven't tried something we didn't like, and honestly end up sharing each others! Try it out for yourself and see what you think... you'll be pleasantly surprised! read more

Delicious homemade ice cream. The best in Tampa! Excellent service as well. I had my baby sleeping in the car so the gentleman working there even brought my ice cream out to me so I didn't have to disturb my baby! read more

This place truly is unique in so many ways from their ice cream flavors to their til jar (yes til jar let me explain)! The staff was beyond helpful and friendly and truly made the experience enjoyable! As for the tip jar don't miss it! Very comical and entertaining...this months choice "who tips better, men or women!" Check out the photos for the competition haha! read more

I want to give this place 3.5 star for overall. Ice cream itself I can give 4 star, price is ok. My concern overall how clean is inside, and I'm not satisfied. I found about this ice cream shop that it one of the best ice cream shop in Tampa area. And if it's really true, I'm regret about Tampa Area. Because ice cream shop be clean, because is food, because is milk product and a lot of factors. Taste overall was ok, I can't say is best, and is not worst. But overall they need to improve inside experience. Also I don't see ice cream, how it goona look like, only names and it was really hard to read. It was their concept, but is not my experience with ice cream shop. read more

Amazing service and unique flavors! The Ice cream is truly delicious! I highly recommend checking this place out.

The ice cream is amazing! The service is amazing. I went once and forgot my waffle drinks and the guy working ran to the car and gave it to us. And it's so cute inside. read more

My wife and I are from Orlando but always make it our mission to stop by one of the Revolution Ice Cream locations and each visit. The pricing is fair, they have plenty of options when it comes to flavors, and the staff is very nice and patient. They offer samples, which is a big deal and are very knowledgeable. Also, they have plenty of nice spots to take good pictures. It's one of our favorite ice cream spots in Tampa. Definitely recommend. read more

Revolution Ice Cream - The Seaward Ice Cream, The Grandma's Oreo Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Probably one of the best, if not THE best ice cream in Tampa, in my opinion. They are located on N.Florida ave , right next to another great place to get biscuits, Hey Giant. As you walk in to the Seminole Heights location, it is a small but cozy feel. With tons of artwork and cool stuff on the walls, booths and chair seating and a funny menu that's handwritten and some with sticky notes featuring all the flavors they carry and some special seasonal concoctions. I usually go for the sampler which I have pictured here. It is six flavors of your choosing in a nice carton that just is aesthetically pleasing for some reason. Idk , maybe it's just me, but I've never been more satisfied looking at ice cream scoops. Plenty of different flavors here to make you happy, all though I recommend getting the drunken brownies. So good with the Chardonnay. Only reason this place isn't five stars to me is the customer service. The last two times I've gone the cashier has been short and really didn't look like she wanted to be there. Also as I walked up she just stared at me and didn't even say hello. I mean, a simple hi would've been cool. Either way, if they can shape that up a bit, this place is an easy go to read more

We were in town for a couple of days for the RV show. Had dinner @ Shells -Brandon location. They recommended this place. I have dairy issues so I husband went in & got two scoop of blueberry ice cream. After he was raving about it I had a taste. Oh my what heaven & it didn't give me any stomach issues. After lunch on our second day we passed other location & Yes, we had to stop. This place is amazing!!! read more

I have always loved this ice cream shop! It has its own vibe and flare that just go with pretty much any mood your in. Date night, comfort food night and even sad girl made happy type of night. Nicholas is a vegan and he got the coffee and Oreo vegan ice cream. I've never seen him so happy. The man loves coffee and ice cream, so to find a vegan version of both his loves had his inner child giggling and smiling from within. Was adorable to watch and would come back every night for that experience I had the mint chip ice cream (I forgot the cool name it had but it involved the Cookie Monster lol). Not going to lie, Made my inner child happy af too!! Overall this place is a must to have a fun, joyful experience read more

Revolution Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Creative and excellent ice cream. Our friends were experts and told us about a lot of the special flavors they used. A single scoop was all I could take because it's so rich but totally worth it. 4 stars for being understaffed, as hard as she was working it was a 20 minute wait on a Tuesday night. read more

The goat cheese and habanero ice cream topped with raspberry sauce is amazing. I know it sounds strange but trust me the flavor combination is perfect. Not overly sweet but very rich. Typically I always get there coconut ice cream but they were out the last time I went so I splurged and had really dairy ice cream. Now I want more. Great service too! read more

Fantastic ice cream for the adventurous person. You don't find chocolate chip or mouse tracks like you see at every other ice cream shop you step in. They make very unique flavors here. I tried "The one that started it all". The name doesn't tell you much but the description tells you everything you need to know. It has goat cheese, habanero ice cream, with a raspberry swirl. The ice cream definitely had the habanero flavor with a kick of heat. Mix this with the creaminess of the goat cheese and you have a great combo. Put some Raspberry on top to finish it off with some sweetness. read more

We stopped at this cute ice cream shop on our way to walk along the Tampa Riverwalk. The lady who helped us was absolutely amazing. What a joyful personality and helpful individual. Everything in the store is homemade. The ice creams, waffle cones, items in the ice creams. We got to sample a few different flavors while we tried to make up our minds. The waffle cones are divine. Great, first time experience! read more

CBD is still super new to me and I was intrigued by the CBD infused ice cream options at Revolution Ice Cream. Their flavor menu is fun and casual, with specials listed on the right, along with their CBD flavors. I splurged for the $6.99 CBD Oreo ice cream. It didn't taste too strongly of CBD to me, mostly just like Oreo ice cream. Did I feel more relaxed after? Not noticeably more than the normal food coma, at least. Some unique flavors (and apparently an ice cream challenge?!!) to try at Revolution. Not much indoor seating but great to stop by and grab to go. read more

I got the chocolate shock ice cream in a cone and it was good! The cone was made fresh to order but just a note to eat you're ice cream faster because mines started to melt and drip from the open end of the cone. The ice cream was really good and they had a ton of unique flavors. read more

Ice cream is fantastic and they even have an allergen menu, which is super helpful when you have kiddos with food allergies. The gentleman working was patient and helpful in navigating around the allergies, and the kids LOVED having fun selections! read more

CBD in your favorite food??!! Yes please! Talk about a place with creativity on steroids in ice cream...I have never seen a place this interesting with some really mouth watering flavors; this is not your kid's ice cream although they would probably love it more that you. They do have CBD infused ice cream but you can't really taste anything, and with just a sample of it, it didn't taste much of anything. I did op for the other flavors that looked really good... 5/5 Euro Trash was a concoction of Nutella and a biscoff biscuit. It was as sweet as I was thinking and that was a good thing for me as sometimes Nutella can be over powering. 5/5 Caramel Vanilla Pralines was another amazing flavor and this one was the favorite of the two; who doesn't like pralines which when accompanied with caramel and delicious vanilla ice cream makes for the perfect match up. This is one place I can't wait to go back since the flavors do change from time to time and there're so many interesting flavors that I haven't tried yet. Until next time... read more

Cute ice cream shop - in a 'strip mall' that is a bit cuter than a regular one due to its brick, or fake brick? I opted for the Euro trash & cinnamon roll in a waffle cone - I do wish the cinnamon roll had the icing topping versus an extra sprinkling of cinnamon, but as long as you like cinnamon, you'll like the cinnamon roll ice cream. The euro trash is unique, I can't quite put my finger on what it tastes like but it says it has Nutella throughout. I enjoyed the cream due to it not tasting overly sugary, like most store bought brands. Just under $7 with tax for the 2 scoops and waffle cone. read more

Revolution Ice Cream - Euro trash and cinnamon roll - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I came here after going to King of the Coop to cool down my mouth from that Nashville Hot chicken. Man was it perfect. I walked in and loved the eclectic environment. I was greeted immediately and ask if I've been there and I wanted to sample anything. Just for context they were not busy but I have been to places that were not busy and still got bad service so I appreciate the attention. I decided on getting the brownie batter CBD ice cream and my hubby got the Cookies and cream CBD with a scoop of porkys delight ( bacon and bacon brittle ice cream). We got them in waffle cones. Man the cone was so crisp. It was vanilla cinnamon perfection. Found out they make their cones too. Win!!!!!! The ice cream it's self was smooth and creamy plenty of the mix in I kid you not I had brownie in every bite. The porkys delight which I just had to sneak a taste of was sooooooo good salty sweet goodness. I cannot wait to go back and try another of their unique flavors. read more

Located in a tiny brick plaza with Mekenita Cantina and a few other places, Revolution Ice cream is an independent ice cream shop. When you enter , you'll notice some colorful and random furniture with a central bar and counter where you order from. The two employees were nice and informed me that you can get regular ice cream, or have it as a sundae, or drizzles(stuff added to ice cream) One scoop is $4 and two is $8 for regular ice cream. I decided to get 1 scoop of eurotrash and one of drunken brownies. The eurotrash is supposed to be nutella and biscoff cookie and the DB is supposed to taste like brownies and chardonnay. I was surprised they didnt ask for ID when ordering DB. That should have been my first clue. Both ice creams were creamy. I can't see say it was extraordinarily creamy since I'm not an ice cream connoisseur. Both REALLY did not taste much like what their descriptions stated. The DB had no wine flavor and was only mildly chocolatey. The eurotrash had some cookie crumbs on top as a garnish but the actual ice cream had no cookie chunks. Both were very disappointing. If this was Walmart Great value ice cream , maybe I would not care. This is a specialty ice cream place and a bit expensive for what you get. Even Ice Cream Dreammm was $3.50 /scoop and SOOO much better than this place. It seems to thrive on style over substance and I guess for beatniks/hippies that's fine. Maybe there is a dearth of ice cream stores in Seminole Heights? Who knows? I would rather go to Cold Stone or Ice Cream Dreamm over this place. Also, if you're tall some of the seats feel like they're for little kids. As a 6ft1 guy, I felt like the giant from Jack and the beanstalk. Also, there is a parking lot but it is especially narrow. When reversing out of my space, and leaving , I was scared of touching the the cars on either parking space. I drive a hatchback/small car! Overall: It's nothing special. I would not drive out of the way to come here. read more

I love Revolution Ice Cream for its quirkiness and I had nothing but great experiences there. That being said I've only ordered the Chocolate Habenero ice cream and I absolutely love it. It's the perfect storm in your mouth. Cold rich chocolate, but an afterburn of fiery habanero. So so good I can't order anything else. The only reason I wouldn't give it a 5 star is because the ice cream consistency is harder than I prefer...but I'm a custard lover, so I like my ice cream creamier and smoother. Other than that, maybe one day I'll be convinced to try another flavor and be blown away. read more

Very creative flavors. Friendly people. Great convenient location with enough parking. The ice cream isn't as creamy as my personal preference, but the place is always packed so clearly, the ice cream is great! read more

Delicious artisanal ice cream shop. Fun set of revolving temporary flavors and several personal go-to flavors. Pints are a tad expensive at $11 but I consider them the occasional treat read more

Finally made it out to this spot last night. The ice cream is excellent. Thick and rich, flavorful and delicious. 2 scoops was plenty and I'm a large man. Staff was friendly, menu was varied with plenty of funky flavors to choose from. I had a scoop of cinnamon roll and a scoop of the CBD infused brownie ice cream. The only downsides were that they were out of waffle cones (but they had waffle bowls as an option instead). The CBD ice cream was $7 a scoop which even for CBD is pretty steep, and a single scoop of their other flavors in a styrofoam cup is $5. They're generous scoops of ice cream but $12 for two scoops of ice cream is ridiculous anywhere. They were also sold out of a bunch of things which seemed odd for a Saturday night at a business that stays open until 11pm. It was fun to try out and the flavors were on point, but I probably won't go out of my way for it again. read more

Revolution Ice Cream - 2 scoops, Brownie Batter (CBD infused) on top of Cinnamon Roll. $12. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Loved the non-dairy flavors!!! I had the non-dairy coffee and Oreo flavor and it was DELICIOUS! The waffle cones are so yummy and they are made with a nice thickness that doesn't allow the ice cream to soak through. The ice cream is creamy and the best I've had! Many of the non-dairy ice creams are thin and runny but Revolution has the perfect recipe for those who are non-dairy but still love ice cream! We will be back again soon! read more
