This is one of my favorite ice cream shops on the island. The staff is so friendly and they have so many unique ice cream flavors to choose from. The shop is so bright and fun, and everyone can find something to enjoy. I ordered a scoop of the chocolate chip cookie dough on my last visit to the shop and it was delicious. If you're looking for the perfect sweet treat after a beach day, then stop by Small Town Creamery! read more

Well I ate it way too fast and now realize I don't have a photograph. It's good. They have a lot of options, I got gold mine ina waffle cone and single scoop is pretty good amount. They didn't have rocky road so there was a pretty interesting conversation on what's the closest ... They had a lot of candy which I didn't really skim through since I was super focused on the ice cream flavors. They had 3 different types of cones cake, sugar and waffle. The staff were really friendly. The Ferris Wheel structure part of the window display is super cool. The ice cream is real smooth and creamy. Gold mine had caramel, vanilla and Chocolate but I didn't find it too heavy. Bang for your buck and you get what you asked for. read more

Delicious ice cream! We stayed in Anna Maria for three days and we went all three days. All three days I got a cone with praline ice cream. So good! read more

I'm in Michigan and still dreaming of their praline ice cream. Delicious and great variety worth the island prices.

Boy, this place used to be great. Expensive, but great. Wonderful selection, very allergy conscious, terrific fudge they say is homemade. Loved it until recently, when they started serving smaller and smaller portions and charging higher prices. I have no problem with raising prices if the quality and quantity are good. I do have a problem with raising prices when quantity is lowered, and when the managers are rude. We were in there and two elderly women were buying ice cream. A heavy set man seemed to be managing the place. The women ordered ice creams and we stood next to them in line. One of them, very politely, told the person at the counter that they didn't get as much ice cream as they used to, and she felt shorted. The manager came up and kind of argued with her - very loudly. She answered that their ice cream was great but super expensive, the portions were smaller, and there was another place on the north end of town that charged a lot less and gave a lot more. Again, she told him nicely that the portions used to be bigger. He got even louder and told her he would buy their ice cream for them, but after that, never set foot in his store again! That pretty much did it for me. We've been regulars for a long time, and nowadays we've watched even the long time staff short the size. They don't pack it down, 3 scoops, which are really expensive, are the equivalent of the old two scoops. I don't want to patronize a place that treats a complaint like that. When somebody complains politely, you try to make it right. It's a service business. Especially an older person who might be on a very fixed income, and this is their big treat, and suddenly it's half what they expected. Imagine telling somebody whose being polite to never go into your store again! Their ice cream might be the best available around here, but at SIX dollars a scoop, when you only get 2/3 or half a real scoop, it's just not worth it. Especially not with that attitude. read more

They had a ton of flavors, all of the classics and some really unique ones. We enjoyed cookies n cream and toasted coconut! Service was great too. read more

This place is so cute. The ice cream flavors were unique and very tasty. I had the coffee ice cream with chocolate coffee nibs in it. Delicious! read more

Really good ice cream and service!! It was an awesome little creamery with great staff. This creamery has some amazing combos with flavors!! I went with my family and we all liked what we got. It was a very friendly outside and inside, but I feel that you can see its age. Maybe it's time for a paint job??? Prices are good. Definitely come here!!! read more

This is some of the creamiest ice cream I have ever had, and the staff was fun and helpful! We went three times in one week while we were visiting! read more

Great place to shop for specialty treats. I had researched where to find fresh taffy and found they make it with an antique machine. Absolutely the best!! Will definitely return. read more

Loveeeee Ice Cream, but the ice cream shops are definitely all loveable. This one is. They have tons of variety of ice creams, they have fudge, the people working are very friendly, and this ice cream shop is colorful and eye catching. The ice cream shop has unique flavor. This time I picked the purple haze which is raspberry which chocolate cups and my husband had rum raisin and butter pecan. All were distinctly flavored and had a great texture. There's a fun photo booth if you want some cheap pics as an Anna Maria Island Souvenir. They are $5. We skipped that but nice to see they have it! read more

We basically tried all the ice cream spots on the island during our week's stay, and this place was by far our favorite! Everyone enjoyed their ice cream. So many flavors, some unique, to choose from. There was also other candy for purchase. Beware, the C is for Cookie will cause blue smiles read more

The amount of ice cream flavors is unbelievable! We have been twice and planning going once more before we leave! I will be dreaming about their key lime and orange dreamsicle ice cream for a long time! This place is a must go! read more

Small Town Creamery has some great ice cream and a friendly staff. While I do not do a lot of desserts, ice cream is definitely a favorite and a dessert that I have always enjoyed. I think most of us love ice cream. Come on, we all know the old chant, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream." Ice cream is in so many ways the perfect dessert. I also like the great memories since childhood associated with ice cream. I would definitely recommend Small Town Creamery. read more

Very friendly service with a good selection of flavors (no samples). My kids got something on this visit and they gave a free tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream for our almost two year old. We levied the parent tax and had a few bites of each. It was good, a bit overly sweet in my opinion but still good and perfect for the hot FL heat. read more

Great beach town ice cream. Have an excellent selection and even non dairy options that aren't just sorbets. Very reasonably priced for a tourist town. Staff is always friendly, and serve efficiently. Line can get long on busy nights, but never wait to long. read more

Nice little ice cream shop with a ton of flavors and a great selection of fudge as well. We sampled a few flavors and had a hard time choosing because they were all EXCELLENT. Also had to try the fudge (vanilla peanut butter iykyk). Definitely check this one out read more

I was very excited to try this location because my family had been raving about their ice cream. We went an hour before closing and the staff was all teenagers. I don't have anything against young workers but they acted extremely immature. They were goofing around while making our shakes and laughing the entire time. Specifically two boys, one brunette with curly hair and a fair skinned blonde They even overflowed our cups and the girl at the cashier just said "oh put it in a large" while laughing.. We ended up having to go back to return one of the shakes due to how bad it tasted. However, when we returned to this spot 2 days later, there was another group (still young) that was extremely sweet and even recommended some ice cream samples. read more

This is always a must when in Anna Maria. They are usually packed but the line moves really fast. The quantity and quality of flavors is great! We will probably stop at least one more time during our stay. They have some really cute ice cream themed seating. I had a scoop of the caribou ice cream and it did not disappoint. I also got to try the toasted coconut, I will get this one next time. read more

Truely a small town, old fashioned tourist shop, With dam good Ice Cream. We went on a busy evening and actually enjoyed standing in line, enjoying the atmosphere! read more

What a great little shop! We stopped in for some ice cream and couldn't believe all the good stuff they had. We ended up grabbing some fudge to bring home as well. From the second we walked in, the young staff was so friendly and helpful! I went with one of their weekly specials, the large Thin Mint Milkshake and it was delicious. My wife got a couple scoops of the key lime pie ice cream that she absolutely loved. We are excited to try the fudge at some point and stop back in again soon! read more

Very good. The texture of their ice cream is between traditional and gelato; yum. Not much space to enjoy inside, but a couple of cute benches outdoors available. Definitely sample first. read more

I love how they're taken care of their staff by putting screens up for covid and they want people to mask up when they're in there and all the staff are masked as well. they have very good covid-19 protocols. having said that the quality of their product is outstanding the owner takes pride in making up some special edition ice cream all the time plus all your old favorites will be there. There's also a good collection of candy and fudge, It's great for kids and families and adults of a certain age they have all kinds of sizes of ice cream and summer and cups and it just a very good experience. There's some nice bench sitting outside so you can corral the kids up or sit together as a group as a family. Don't forget to leave a tip for all the kids making your ice cream. Even if it's the owner workout he he saves the tips and gives them to the kids later. read more

Overall: A gem of a place with great flavored, creamy ice creams with allot of flavors including vegan ice cream (no I don't eat that type but wanted those who need to know:)). They also had fudge. Gal who serviced us last night (Sept 13) was awesome. Service: 5 stars- Young gal behind counter greeted us upon entry and was friendly with a more bubbly personality. Was very helpful in assisting us first timers. I asked what they had with peanut butter, she went through each flavor and gave me her personal reasons she like which ones over the other. This helped me select and she was spot on!!! Service from greeting to exit was spot on for customer service. Clone her if u can (lol). Food: 5 stars- Ice cream with was tasty, fresh and appeared to have higher butter fat content allowing for a richer, smoother flavor. I couldn't tell you what flavors I got (receipt didn't show it) but as you guessed, PB was an important ingredient and got a scoop of each for two scoops total of ones she highly recommended. My wife got something with cheery and PB scoops also. We can say if our tongues were long enough, no waste- the bowls would have been spotless. Environment: 4.5 stars- Appeared to be a nice clean store and COVID protection protocols in place. There was so much on shelves was a bit busy so was a bit overwhelmed. read more

Small Town Creamery - Two different PB ice creams. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

Small town Creamery is being very responsible with enforcing physical distancing. It was busy and they were carefully monitoring the number of people inside the cute business. The ice cream is absolutely delicious. Oh, and the fudge, is so yum and fresh. This is our favorite place to get ice cream on Anna Maria Island. The staff is friendly and helpful. This business has installed clear guards to minimize any transfer of droplets. Everyone was wearing a mask and wearing it correctly. Check this place put, they have multiple different sizes available. read more

This is the best ice cream I have ever had! The birthday cake has actual cake in it and the elephant ear tastes like a creamy, peanut butter chocolate milkshake as it melts in your mouth. The workers are also nice. I loved the theme of this place as it was colorful, friendly and overall a welcoming place. So if you are on AMI, check out this ice cream shop. I promise it will blow your mind. read more

Hands down the best ice cream you will ever have! The flavors are one of a kind, and best quality.

Good old fashioned ice cream. Friendly staff and reasonable prices for a vacation destination.

We loved it. We are staying down the road with our 2 boys - 5 and 3 years old. Plenty of flavors, we could get something different all days we are staying here! I got the cookie dough ice cream and the banana cream on a waffle cone. The banana cream tasted like banana runts, which my husband loves. The strawberry was actually the winner! I am already craving it already a few hours later. Beware there is tons of candy at little kid eye level, so set the ground rules before you go in. These kids got ice cream and 1 piece of candy, I'm a softy. Will be back! read more
