Mouthwatering Desserts in Tampa

Moreno Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.1 (795) • $$

"Came in for lunch with my mother and she got the steak sandwich and I got the Cuban sandwich and I have to say her sandwich was far superior to mine. Not to say that my sandwich was bad just liked her sandwich much better. I will say they have the best desserts! We received our sandwiches in a timely manner. Always enjoy visiting Moreno's Bakery."

Flan Factory

★★★★★ 4.7 (500) • $$

"Mamey flan, coquito flan, empanadasLove this placeThe flags taste exactly like the flavor they advertise. The staff is so sweet and now they have more space!I'm so happy to see them growing!"

Kojaks House of Ribs

★★★★☆ 4.2 (508) • $$

"We were in the area and my husband looked up places near by. Against our better judgement we tried this place instead of going across the street.... Our first hint should have been zero customers being there. You order at the counter and they bring you the plates. You get your own silverware, napkins, bbq sauce in the middle station. There are several tables to choose from and sit yourself. My husband ordered the rib dinner, I ordered a 1/2 bbq chicken plate and my daughter ordered the kids pulled pork. My son got a side of baked beans. BOTH my son and daughters beans had hair in them. The meat was clearly reheated. The rub? On the chicken was awful. Tasted like licking carpet. So I pulled the skin off and ate some of the chicken. Greens were weird. Sweet tasting. The parsley potatoes were ok. Lot of butter and overcooked.My husbands ribs were ok, but also reheated. He ordered macaroni salad and greens. He said the macaroni salad was also awful. I do not recommend this place and would never go back."

Shrimp Boat Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (427) • $$

"Food is good but not plentiful for price. Usually good friendly service. Good location with ample parking."

East Bistro - The Mediterranean Eatery

★★★★★ 4.7 (302) • $$

"The food is always very tasty and the service is great. I first came with a friend a couple of years ago and it was enough for me to go back. My partner and I get the plate that has meat variety, kibbeh, pita, salad, and hummus when we order from here. It's very good, have recommended this to others. Thanks for the great food and service."

La Casa Della Pasta

★★★★☆ 4.2 (359) • $$

"This definitely one of my favorites Italian restaurants in the TAMPA Their serves are so friendly and attentives, they have a good location with enough parking, the place is so clean and quiet. If you are Lasagna team you have to try this one, it's crazy. And for Carbonara teams like me, this is my favorite with a lot of cheese of course. I'll be back soon, obviously."

Thai Chilli Pepper

★★★★☆ 4.4 (283) • $$

"I came here with my family for a late dinner on Saturday. It was all of our first time there. It took about 5-10mins for our waiter to bring us our menu after seating us. He was the only server working though, and there were 2 tables waiting to cash out. Service was overall good though.I ordered the Grouper Pad Char, which was DELICIOUS!! I usually prefer fish grilled/blackened. This one was breaded & deep fried, but the breading was super crunchy & very well-seasoned!! The sauce was awesome (medium spice), and it had lots of veggies. My husband ordered the pineapple fried rice, which was really good! He ordered it with hot spice level, which was the perfect combination that balanced out the spicy, sweet & salty flavors. My mom had cashew nut stir fry w/ pork, which she loved. The sauce on it was thinner than the sauces used at other Thai restaurants so I didn't like it as much, but it was still good. My mother-in-law ordered Chicken Pad Sew Ew. I was disappointed w/ it because the sauce was also a lot thinner & not the same flavor as what I'm used to. She loved it, but that was her first time having that dish. Overall, this is a good Thai restaurant. I would come here again if I'm at this area."

Jimmy's Tacos

★★★★☆ 4.1 (298) • $$

"Hey, Jimmy! So glad we found you! So quaint, so charming, so yummy. My friend I visited on a Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed it. Located just south of Seventh Ave (the main drag) in historic Ybor City, on 17th Street, it's a little yellow building with an eye-catching logo/branding. There's a walk-up, take out window or you can choose to dine on the covered patio. (You walk up to order, they deliver to the table) We ate there, under the patio lights and amongst the visiting roosters (both of which add to the audience). The menu isn't large, but it includes appetizers, sides and desserts. There are lots of soft drink options and I think they've recently added beer, wine and sangria. My friend chose the birria tacos and I had the shrimp tacos, on blue tortillas. They were both tasty-and I was happy the mango salsa on the shrimp tacos wasn't too heavy on the onions. We also shared the chips and queso. (The chips were really good). Everything was super fresh and had a "from scratch" feel to it. Prices are reasonable-there's limited parking on site and a large, multi-story parking garage nearby... and you can walk to all of the other fun spots Ybor has to offer. (We followed up with a visit to a wine bar) I'll definitely go back and try more tacos, the jalapeño poppers, the desserts and the sangria. Plus, I need to keep up with my rooster friends. See you there!"

Arroy Thai

★★★★☆ 4.1 (285) • $$

"Delicious food. Taste the fried rice but make it a little spicy. It was so good. The pad Thai was really good also."

The Ozona Pig

★★★★☆ 4.1 (285) • $$

"Great local place! Madison was our server and she was super friendly and attentive. Our drinks were never empty and her recommendation was on point. We got the full chicken nachos and asked for toppings on side as hubby and I like different tops. They make the bbq sauce in house and it's served warm which is great at keeping your food warm. The chips are also made fresh on site and are perfect. We also got hot and naked wings and which definitely had a little kick. We enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating which offers shade and fans on warm days. There were people who came with their puppy and the server brought out a fresh bowl of water. Definitely recommend and will be back!!"

Cali Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (197) • $

"Love having breakfast here! Love their pan de bono, Colombian cheese bread, to start & the breakfast Cuban with bacon. Coffee is good & la arepa, sweet corn flat bread, is also delicious! Still have more to try but definitely recommend!"

Mares Real Peruvian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.4 (197) • $$

"We ordered two chicharron sandwiches, a chicken tamale, and a mango smoothie and they all were delicious! Service was so quick and very friendly, 10/10."

Tukro Coffee

★★★★★ 4.8 (157) • $$

"Comfy place to gather inside or out. Ramp included for my elderly mama was a bonus. Parfait tasted great and was presented in the cutest glass jar. Half sweet latte had perfect amount of "half sweet," and daughter loved her featured holiday latte... smidge slower than I expected and our daughter reminded me "it's handcrafted and we aren't in a hurry." Yes! Such a friendly mix of business people working, families vacationing and locals grabbing coffee before work (nurses in scrubs)."

Tanya & Matt's Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4.4 (179) • $

"Always the very best ice cream in Tampa. We've enjoyed 20 plus year's of ice cream fun here. Tanya and Matt has only gotten better quality is top notch."

Crumbl - Lutz

★★★★☆ 4 (215) • $$

"First-time customer. IF I could give them zero stars I would. I ordered 6 cookies delivery. This place is extremely expensive to be handing out cookies like the ones I received. 6 cookies came to roughly $36 with delivery fees. I knew something was wrong when the box felt like it weighed 10lbs, but I remained optimistic because I did see where the cookies were on the thicker side of things. The cookies we ordered are pictured in the attachments and I will spare you the play by play on each. The cookies were not only so messy in the box, but not that tasty. I could truly go on and on about my dislike for each cookie and why. I would simply say, don't try them. I only purchased the expensive cookies because my niece wanted to the Tik Tok "review trend" and we did it, but the cookies were nasty and it wouldn't trust the ppl saying they're good -- I now think they're all paid actors. Flavors: Chocolate Chip (has peanut butter in it -- just OK)Pink Sugar (nasty and sweet)Café De Leche (or something... nasty)S'mores (that one was OK) Sugar cookie with chocolate frosting (too much frosting)6th cookie - nasty!"

Falabella Family Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.1 (201) • $$

"Small location. I came I saw I ate & left So the Caesar salad seemed to be a little not so fresh. More croutons than I like in a tiny bowl. Than the Moscato was extremely cheap. I'm not bougie but I have had better. My server Christian was great, taking my order but I only saw him again once, to bring the bill. I had a gift card so I used it. Parking is terrible so I wouldn't return for the food."

Mike's Sushi & Sake Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (169) • $$

"Wow, wow, wow! I don't typically award 5 stars to anywhere I've been only once-but this place was superb. Definitely our newest sushi place--EXTREMELY fresh and beautiful presentation of sushi. A lovely spot for an intimate date night; nice and quiet, pretty lighting. The prices on their Happy Hour menu (on weekends too!) are excellent for the quality of what you're getting."

Amor Em Pedacos Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (210) • $$

"Very homey bakery. Food was fantastic. I had an egg ham and cheese sandwich and the wife had a steak sandwich. We also had the chicken and cheese ball. Bread was fresh !"

Cozy Oaks Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (187) • $

"Found this through Apple Maps. It was a great little find. Homemade cooking great breakfast joint with fantastic service. Jessica was our waitress and was a lot of fun! We'd definitely eat here again when we're back in the area, all this and great value too!"

Bassano Cheesecake Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (127) • $$

"If you're not ready to end your night out, and are looking for a place to just chill in downtown Safety Harbor after a nice meal, this is the spot. Every cheesecake is spot on. Not too thick or thin, always creamy, and the perfect amount of crust. They serve high-quality coffees and teas. There's a flavor for everyone. There will always be a fun new flavor and the classics will satisfy every time."

Sea Maids Creamery

★★★★★ 4.6 (126) • $$

"We just moved to Tampa this is our first ice cream shop and we are impressed ! That says a lot because I used to work at a gourmet paleta place!!! We left very happy !! We had the coffee ice cream staff was very friendly and the vibe was chill! The store is decorated in a very cutesy and demure way!"

Al-Sham Palace

★★★★☆ 4.3 (140) • $$

"The ambiance is nice but lacking somehow. I am all into decorating according to the type of restaurant.We basically were waited on by two gentlemen who were both extremely nice and attentive. Now for the food...... it's awesome. The beef is tasty. The chicken is very well seasoned and tender and the lamb is cooked just right. The hummus is plain but very good and so is the baba ganoush. The salad is also flavorful. I do not like cilantro but it was so tasty I ignored the cilantro.We had the walnut baklava and another tasty treat though not sure of the name and they were both yummy. If you are in New Tampa this place is definitely a must try!!!!"

Crumbl - Brandon

★★★★☆ 4.1 (142) • $$

"Cookies! Fresh baked cookies! Warm, soft, freshly baked cookies ready to go. This place smells sooo wonderful when you walk in. It's located in the shopping center next to Costco, with Starbucks, Mellow Mushroom, T-Mobile and various other shops. I was originally headed to grab a sandwich a few doors down when I noticed how close I was to Crumbl Cookies and decided to pay a visit.There were about a dozen customers standing around when I walked inside the tiny service area but I asked if any were in line; they were all waiting for their orders. I wound my way around them to the counter and stood for a few minutes before one of the busy employees filling orders turned around and acknowledged me. I ordered two single cookies: one classic pink sugar and one milk chocolate chip. By the I finished swiping my card and entering my payment details, my cookies were boxed up and handed to me. They are pretty pricey per cookie, but worth it. They are absolutely delicious. Great place to stop for late night munchies since they are open until 10 pm weekdays."

Twistee Treat - Westside

★★★★☆ 3.8 (164) • $

"It's an ice cream shop with amazing custard and a million options, what more could you want?"

Quickly Boba Cafe USF

★★★★☆ 4.2 (134) • $

"ORDERED- popcorn chicken bowl [$7.49] - spam and egg chicken bowl [$7.49]- fried tofu [$4.99]- taro mochi waffle [$3.99]STAFFevery single time i go, i let the staff choose my drink because they haven't recommended anything i haven't liked yet. they're all super friendly and sociable; the typical cool college kids.DINING AREAthere are a couple tables where you can eat or study inside and a larger table towards the back of the cafe where larger groups can meet.OVERALLi'm so upset that i didn't find out about this place sooner. i'm faithful to chewy boba and every since discovering quickly, i haven't been back since. i'm on a mission to try every single one of their creations (i've made it through all the fruit slushes and there wasn't one that i did not like). for some of their drinks, they offer a "chubby" size thats sort of like an "XL" size while some of their drinks only come in a large.the advantage that this place has over others is their food. i love their taro mochi waffles, fried tofu and popcorn chicken bowls. everything is fairly priced and great portions -- you can definitely get full off of one bowl. the only thing i can't recommend is their banh mi's though because they lack filling regardless of which sandwich you order.i highly recommend trying this place out and especially trying out one (or more) of their quickly creations. my favorites are black thaiger (milk tea) and lychee froze (fruit slush)."

Red Mule Pub

★★★★☆ 4.2 (123) • $

"The ladies who served us our late lunch were funny and pleasant! I really enjoyed the turkey, probably the best lunch meat turkey I've had in a while. We also had the chili nachos! Great environment!!!!"

Charm Thai and Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (108) • $$

"I ordered delivery from Charm Thai and Sushi last weekend when in Orlando... I was craving Thai food and also wanted to find something to feed my very picky 12 year old son.I ordered summer rolls, edamame, rice, and the special Pra Ram dish (Steamed chicken, Homemade peanut sauce, Eggplant, Carrot, napa cabbage, Broccoli served with white rice). Everything arrived steaming hot and was delicious... and of course, there were leftovers. They tasted just as good the next day even thought we ate them cold as we didn't have a microwave in our hotel room.I would definitely recommend this biz even if you are just looking for take-out / delivery."

Sorrento Sweets

★★★★☆ 4.1 (116) • $$

"Amazing cookies and cannolis. Freshly made right in front of you can't beat that. Pricing is good. Baked hood are excellent."

Greenlane

★★★★★ 4.5 (88)

"Food and service are great. Fresh salads fast is awesome!Drive through is a brilliant idea for getting fresh mixed salads as well as fresh ingredients."

Froyo Fresh

★★★★☆ 4.2 (101) • $

"They have a traveling froyo truck that will come to your neighborhood during COVID-19!My neighbors are doing all the work for me and arranging for food trucks to come to our neighborhood. All I have to do it put it on my calendar and show up. These are the best type of neighbors. The froyo truck parked in my neighbor's driveway and was there between 4 p.m. an 7 p.m. on a Wednesday. We could come any time during those hours. Froyo for dinner? Yes, please!The workers wore masks and there were cones on the ground to mark six feet apart. Still, with a window of three hours, we didn't have to wait in line. We saw neighbors coming and going, but we kept our distance. For $5 you get a cup of froyo and two toppings. For a dollar extra you could get homemade ice cream. Anything homemade captures my attention so I went for it. I got half peanut butter fudge and half salted caramel with butterfingers and reeses pieces for my toppings. Like I said, it was my dinner so I wanted all the calories! It did not disappoint.The workers were so friendly and it was a nice treat during this time. If you have a group of friends looking for a business to support, call them up and have their truck come out!"

Calusa Pizza & Craft

★★★★☆ 4.3 (92) • $$

"Important note: menu prices are higher if ordering takeout through Yelp! When I saw the almost $3.00 markup on my planned pasta purchase via Yelp, I decided to go in and order in person. You could also call the order in to get regular menu prices. I guess there is a price to pay for convenience! In any event, my pasta order (Tortellini Bolognese) was ready much faster than the Yelp system projected if ordering online. Within 10 minutes I was in and out with a very hot box! And the tortellini was DELICIOUS! It was a huge portion which made it absolutely worth the price! Looking forward to checking out their pizza soon!"

Bakery Makel

★★★★☆ 4.3 (88) • $

"This is a hidden gem of a bakery that you won't want to miss. It is a small bakery but packs a punch with amazing fresh and flavorful food."

J J Gandy's Pies

★★★★★ 4.6 (76) • $$

"Inside the green warehouse style building on the southbound side of Alt-19 is a little spot of heaven!The best key lime pie outside of key west! They have other flavors as well, as well as cookies and cakes. Not a huge selection of flavors, but, definitely quality over quantity!Now, I've lived in this area for 26 years and it is hard to beat Publix Bakery, but, for Key Lime pie, this place is so worth the drive!"

Chocolate Pi

★★★★★ 4.5 (79) • $$

"This is a review for Sunday afternoon, tea. I unfortunately have no pictures because I was amazed by all of the delicious things that were presented to me.. starting with a pot of tea, of course pumpkin, chai tea, then the standard mozzarella and tomato Caprese salad.Now I've been to tea all throughout the United States and Canada, and this is by far my favorite. When you have high tea curated by a pastry, chef, you're in for an over-the-top delight. Her cross on her quiche is full of visible layers of amazing. Another unique addition is the savory macaroons. I can't even tell you and describe how amazing and delicious this amazing amazing high tea is. Five stars service five star location, five star all the way"

India King Tandoori & Wine

★★★★★ 4.8 (69)

"Thank you for an amazing selection of authentic Indian food. We ordered the lamb Rogan Josh and butter chicken and both were so savory. The garlic naan bread was delicious. And the coconut rice... yumm. Their samosas are divine. And, being at the Hampton Inn, they made a concession and delivered to us. Great food and great service. Thank you. A must try!!"
