Bo's Ice Cream

Bo's has been around for as long as I can remember and is still the best ice cream in Tampa. Having a drive through makes it that much better!

Thursday 9/12/2024Found this spot on Reddit while looking for the best ice cream in the area and they were wrong.I got a large cookies n cream shake topped with a brownie for $13.The shake was very disappointing, it tasted like something you could easily get from a spot like Dairy Queen (for possibly cheaper too). It's just mid soft serve & toppings mixed into a mediocre, low quality shake that isn't worthy of $13 but that's just me.

The ice cream is always amazing! They have real brownies (not the crappy super sweet fake stuff...real brownies!) they have a lot of options and the prices are really good. Sometimes the staff can be a hit or miss but I always bring cash to tip and they appreciate that. The prices are so reasonable make sure you bring an extra $1 or $2 to tip! The ambiance is nostalgic for me, they have benches outside to sit with your pals and enjoy a sundae. Drive thru line can get long but there is plenty of parking on the side if you want to walk up and order at the window!

Local spot. No indoor seating. Old School Grab and go at the window. They offer the basic 3 flavors of ice cream and you build from that. I ordered a vanilla milkshake with Peanuts, Maraschino Cherries and chocolate chips mixed in and whip cream on top. Absolutely delicious! Loved it! Service was terrific and the price is unbeatable!

The ice cream here is amazing! This place has been around for quite some time and I love swinging by anytime I'm in the area. They have a convenient drive thru as well, where you can order right from your car. I got the chocolate/vanilla swirl cone dipped in chocolate and it was delicious. I will definitely be going back for their banana sundae (my friend got it and it looked delicious). This place is super casual with outside seating that could fit 4-8 people. 10/10 recommend

Such a great neighborhood soft serve spot! They have a drive through but we like to park and walk up. I'll say it's LARGE servings so be hungry!! We love to get the classic dipped cones or the thick n chunky with mix ins! I'd recommend the butterscotch dip with vanilla ice cream Reminds me of an old school Dairy Queen spot and even better. All staff is also energetic, quick and make sure to load you up with napkins!

The epitome of a neighborhood ice cream shop! Bo's is a seminole heights staple and serves up all the classics. Soft serve ice cream, rootbeer floats, hot fudge sundaes, banana splits, thick n chunky's (imagine a mcflurry with whatever candy you want mixed into softserve), and more! This shop is always busy and the drive thru line is intimidatingly long; which is how you know it's good. The service is always super quick and the drive thru does move relatively quickly, although I choose to park and order in the front. There are a few benches where you can enjoy your sweet treat!The vanilla soft serve ice cream is my favorite and I don't often stray to other delicacies. I have tried the mnm thick n thunky but found it to have too many mnms. Maybe in the future i'll begin to explore the other menu items but for now the soft serve has my heart! I've seen customers order a variety of things which always look yummy. One thing to note is that the portion sizes are big. I've recommended this spot to many people and will continue to do so!

Got the mini thick and chunky brownie ice cream. Expected there to be chunks of brownie in it not whipped with the ice cream. There were chunks in it but they were huge!

There is a very special place in my heart for long standing businesses. I'm glad to see that Bo's has been opened since 1954. Although, I would like some different and possibly unique ice cream flavors, it would take away its identity and make like any other modern ice cream shop. I like how it doesn't look like much has been changed since it first opened.Even the prices do not seem to have changed too much. A small (16oz) Coke and vanilla soft serve float for 4$ is unknown anywhere else. Overall my experience was great. The service was great and my float was delicious and at a great price.

This place is amazing! I got the banana split single and the ice cream is so smooth and they don't skip out of all the fixings! A little bit of a wait but they seemed to be servicing quickly in both drive thru and the front. I love they have multiple tables to sit at outside so you can enjoy comfortably eating ice cream with great vibes at this location.
