D'lites Emporium

Absolutely delicious for only 50 calories! If you just want an extremely light dessert, this is the place to go. They don't have too many flavors, but the place is huge and the service was quick. There are a pretty wide array of toppings. Strawberry is their most fruity flavor.

D'lited to finally try this place because after some effort with proper spelling to locate this establishment on Yelp or google maps I struck gold with some healthy ice cream that is D'lit. Healthy ice cream seems like a misnomer unless of course you are referencing mental health, but yes you heard right that this cream is clocking in at only 50 kcal per 4 O-Zs. Mine was double this, but I also have a sweet tooth and this is something I am working on. Speaking of which, how might they accomplish this skinny appearance? I can tell you it is not by compromising the consistency or quality of the treat. Many over-the-counter or grocery store aisle skinny ice creams. I have tried basically just taste like frozen water and have a very icy consistency. This ice cream however, was almost as thick as custard and as creamy as the best homemade batch coming straight from the dairy farm. One of their secrets to this technique that they could share with me, was the fact that they use fat-free milk, which again was very impressive understanding that usually the higher the fat content of the dairy product the more creamy and rich it becomes. My only con to the ice cream is that as a result of keeping it thin, the sweetness factor is substantially lower than what you would expect from a full body high sugar content dairy treat. This is still though about as good as one could get while still maintaining a low calorie threshold. As I mentioned prior, I do have a significant sweet tooth and so their huge bar of mix ins which include both your typical and your health conscious options was a huge plus for me. I decided to go for the old faithful cookie dough bites. Their cost per mix-in is a little higher than the average market price at about one dollar, but I believe it is well worth it to be able to give you just a little bit more sweetness, which you deserve considering your dessert at baseline is so much less calorically dense than the average.South Tampa is a bit of a drive for me, but the kind service behind the counter willing to allow me to try the selection of rotating weekly flavors was enough to lock me in for a return visit.

Stopped for a quick dessert on a walk to celebrate my coworker's birthday. We both went in and were greeted by the kind server. We were a little slow to figure out exactly what we wanted since we sort of just happened upon this place, but she was very patient with us.Eventually, I settled on a small cup of Oreo and Cookie Butter Crisp. I thought it was good, but didn't blow me away. It soothes a sweet tooth craving though, but I couldn't really taste the Oreo or the cookie butter flavor when I was eating it. It was a good bite, but I've definitely had better. However, I still think this place is enjoyable!

Love the place due to guilt free soft serve. Each small serving is only 50 calories. The flavor of choices are good. They have some unique flavors. We got the swirl of tres leche and dark chocolate buttercream. Both flavors are great. Each day of the week they have different choices of flavors make the customers to come back.

I absolutely LOVE D'lites! I've been to this location a few times. It's cute, the service is friendly but best of all is the ice cream! Healthy and low calorie but still creamy and soft with different flavors and toppings. I wish I lived closer! I'm convincing my fiancé to fly down for a sushi and D'lites date! He was pleasantly surprised by how good it was too!

I came here looking for "carbo lite " which is a super low calories frozen yogurt. This is a little different but for 50 calories every 1/2 cup I think that's great! This is definitely more of an ice cream place so I loved it. I thought the price was a bit more expensive but they were very generous with my serving size! Which is great but definitely makes it more calories (I am not complaining I'll take more ice cream) I loved the service and over ambiance. Super cute place and I know they have another location in tampa!

For some reason I have had an insatiable craving for soft serve ice cream recently, and this place offers a guilt-free option to satisfy that! At only 50 calories per half a cup, with no added sugars, this place is perfect for people watching their sugar or carb intake. I love the ever-changing flavor options: they always have chocolate or vanilla, and then have 4 other flavors that change three times a week. You can choose a cup, cake or waffle cone, or even buy them in half-pints or ice cream sandwiches.However, considering the health-centric mindset regarding the ice cream itself, I find the topping options a bit baffling. The options are your typical chocolate chips, nuts, caramels, cereals, etc, which if you add to your sundae can bring it up to basically as many calories and carbs as your typical dessert. Why no fresh fruit options, which would be perfect? Also, the pricing of the toppings are outrageous. I once got a small cup with 3 toppings and the total was $16, more than I'd spend on a fancy dessert at a gourmet restaurant. Overall, this is a good option for a reasonably priced guilt-free dessert, but ONLY if you stick to the ice cream itself!

I stopped by D'lites Emporium as my dog was a couple of stores down at an appointment. The ice cream was fresh and the chocolate milkshake was delicious. It wasn't too sweet and hit the spot. I was hopping for a smaller size but they didn't have anything smaller and the largest cup is large!

They need to be transparent with ingredients: corn syrup and hydrogenated palm oil. These are practically banned and this is probably why ingredients and nutrition info isn't listed anywhere ! They need to explain what is in the yogurt. It tastes great but what is in it exactly ? https://dlitesemporium.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Nutritionalinfo.pdf

Service was great but I didn't enjoy the "cookies and cream" flavor. Tasted just like plain vanilla and looked like it also. They give you a good amount for the price too bad the flavor was rather bland.
