Tonight 4/2/26 Twistee Treat more like Twistee Turds, for starters I strolled up to the window and politely asked for a hot fudge Sunday, I get one every Friday night. This is when it gets bad. I hear them call my order and I grab my sundae. I take one look at it and it looks like someone took a fat shit on my cream... IT TASTED LIKE IT TO. (Not that I know the taste of shit) I tell the woman who is working "This is not a hot fudge sundae to my standards!" The girl then proceeds to crack a smile on her face. This is when I lose my cool. I have to walk away... read more

They were friendly, they have outdoor seating only. I got a choco taco and it was huge but they fill it with soft serve. I thought it would be ice cream. It was summer so it melted pretty fast... my daughter got the soft serve cone dipped in chocolate and she loved it!! It's year round and the ambiance is peaceful read more

"Old school" selection; ordering windows are real low & no drive thru. Sweet workers, quick service. read more

Twistee Treat - Menu as of 05/25/2025 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tavares, Florida

I Rated this place over a year ago . Nostalgic, turning back time. Quiet polite people seem to always be there. Even the children are so good. We never get dessert out after a meal , We go to Twister Treat . When you give a Good review you know the place is going to get Busier . But Twistee Treat got better . They move along so fast , not much of a wait at all . The Cones piled High , hope you eat Fast . read more

It's always fun to go to the great big ice cream cone and enjoy a treat. Is a certain sign that there is summer fever all around.

Amazing ice cream place, have went countless times with family, and no issues whatsoever. Not many people ever there, and the few times there's a line it moves fast. The workers are great and never have caused issues, and one time they were talking with friends I'm assuming in-front of the line and the people in line talking to the employees (I'm assuming) moved right as we walked up. Very professional, and the atmosphere always makes it just that little more pleasant. Overall, 5/5 place for some amazing soft serve ice cream. read more

Best ice cream around. Lots of different menu items. Different cones, milkshakes, dipped cones. Service is always quick. Employees are always friendly. read more

Twistee Treat is so cool, I love that it looks like a giant ice cream cone. They have seating, but it is outside only. I have always loved chocolate malts but nobody ever has them. When I saw they had them, I was super excited. I ordered the chocolate malt and it was delicious and brought back wonderful memories of my childhood. I can't wait to go back for another one. read more

On vacation in Florida and saw these funny ice cream shaped buildings. The dipped ice cream cones were amazing.

You can't miss a Twistee Treat building. Just look for the building that looks like a giant ice cream. They offer good ice cream at a hood price. No, they are not one of those higher end ice cream places that fashion the ice cream before your eyes on a frozen surface, but instead they are a soft serve ice cream places that with your first bite, it will bring you back to the innocence of childhood and memories of summers long gone. Pick your flavor and how you want it and prepare yourself for some good ice cream at a good price. I would definitely recommend a visit here when you are on the mood for ice cream. read more

Good place for ice cream nice pricing . Easy in and out, clean. Service top notch. Highly recommended.

Old Florida icon building of a soft serve cone and inside? A soft serve ice cream that is cooling and tasty... worthy of trip to take in both the uniqueness and the great ice cream. Friendly service and fast! And of course the cone is worth the trip by itself.. read more

This place is awesome! My husband and I stopped by yesterday for the first time and it definitely won't be our last. The menu had something to offer for everyone, tons of flavors and toppings. The employees were kind and efficient. The line was a little long (which is a good thing) and still the staff was friendly and took pride fulfilling everyone's orders. Sometimes places get a little sloppy when they feel the pressure of a line and the quality of the product suffers but this was not the case! Friendly, efficient, delicious! read more

Twistee is a nostalgic look at Ice cream. And where else is better for a cone in the country than here. My dad and I were driving an errand the other day in Tavares and I suggested we stop at that large cone looking place and have an old school father and son cone. It couldn't have been more classic if I tried. It felt like about 90 degrees out so whatever we got was going to be awesome. My dad: classic vanilla on a cone. He looked as happy as a pig in ummm, mud. Me: chocolate ice cream Sunday, with hot fudge and pretty much everything else. They were fantastic. We ate them in that silence you do when what you are eating is just too good to keep up small talk too. The one down mark was no hard ice cream. It's so much better and I crave it so much on a hot day. But I get it. It's a pain to maintain compared to frozen yogurt. That aside I couldn't have been happier with our stop. It recharged our batteries and we were off with a sugar high that lasted almost 20 minutes. That, was a good day. read more

Great local ice cream place. Fast and friendly! They also have the old school cherry dip which is a huge plus!

Fun nostalgic place to satisfy your sweet craving. Everything we have had is really good! Yum!

This one has horrible service. Had a sundae I couldnt even eat because they made a mess of it and dropping melted ice cream in my car. I know they dont want to pay my detailing bill, but would even give me a cup to put it in so I could eat it. I HAD been coming here for over 20 years with my family and my kids but never again. I left in tears because all I wanted was a sundae that I could eat that I paid for or a cup to put it in read more

Excellent service. There were some really rude customers (looking at y'all, one star ratings) and the staff handled it admirably. My family and I have been going here for years and love it. read more

My experience was completely ruined because of the lack of professionalism I went to go get a ice cream and there was a group of young teenagers in front of me I stood in the line for five minutes thinking that these kids are ordering come to find out they are only socializing with the cashier they rudely look back at me and ask if Anybody was going to order I said me and they looked at me like I was crazy I felt very uncomfortable and the cashier was very unprofessional When I finally ordered my ice cream it, wasn't done right I ordered a brownie sundae it did not even have one brownie I will not be going back. read more

Absolute worse twistee treat I have ever been to. The staff was very rude! Threw my sons ice cream out the window. Only had one size. Did not have all the flavors. It was dirty, flies were every where. Staff was very impatient. I wish I could give negative stars. The ice cream flavor and presentation is terrible. Needless to say I will not be returning! read more

See all

The hours posted on the website for New Year's Eve said they are open until 8. They refused to serve us at 6:56.

Best Ice cream around ! So many flavors! Definitely never had anything like it and won't go anywhere else because they have cherry dip

Located off of 441 in Taveres, the cone beckoned us on our drive up. We had to stop on the way out of town. I'm happy to report that the cones were as good as I remembered and had my folks talking about the good old days as we pulled into the parking lot. If you are a twistee purist, you can get the rich and creamy soft serve ice cream in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. A walk on the wild side will have you swirling chocolate and vanilla or vanilla and strawberry. There are also hand dipped flavors, if you want to go that route. The swirly cone roof drew us in, so we went for the soft serve. $2 will get you a small cone, which is a medium size anywhere else. Service was fast and friendly, on a nice day the picnic tables will be filled to overflowing and happy people will be licking their cones with smiles on their faces. read more

I love me some Twistee Treat. In my opinion it is the best soft serve in the area. The ice cream is simple but so creamy. It is a challenge to eat it before it melts on a hot summer day. I always get the same thing: vanilla waffle cone dipped in chocolate and rolled in rainbow sprinkles. Delicious! The only reason this Twistee Treat gets four stars instead of five is because of the location and seating. It is located in an old shopping center with a great view of rushing traffic. There are only two tables to sit at and the small umbrellas barely block the sun. Some fans, better shade (more/bigger umbrellas, trees) and more seating would add a star. read more

This place is awesome! Probably the best soft serve I've ever had. The chocolate milkshake is amazing! The staff is super friendly. And the place is very clean I can't wait to come back read more

As goood as it gets!!! Sweet girls!! Very friendly & funny. They really bust their butts to make their customers happy. Even working right after the storm!! Long lines but fastest business around town read more

There are not many ice cream shops in the area, so it's good to have a Twistee Treat around. They have a pretty decent-sized menu, mostly variations on soft-serve ice cream, and the staff is very friendly. Price is OK; most ice cream shops can get kind of pricey, so it's just par for the course when you go to one of these places. But I wholeheartedly recommend getting your ice cream fix at Twistee Treat! read more
