The Beach and Ice Cream.
They go together!
It’s like going to Italy and not getting gelato. You just need to get it to complete the experience.
At least that’s the opinion of my 4 kids!
When I tell my kids we’re going to go to Clearwater Beach they always ask me one thing, “Are we going to get ice cream?” If the answer is ‘yes’ then they race upstairs and quickly get ready. If the answer is ‘no’ then they begin the negotiation process.
Usually the answer is “YES!”
We always visit the same ice cream spot on Clearwater Beach – Ice & Cream Creamery!
They have top quality, locally sourced ingredients with delicious flavor combinations! Their ice cream is freshly made in small batches and the taste is intense.
They have 4 locations and we always visit the store on Mandalay Avenue – a short walk north from Pier 60 Park.
In the spirit of full disclosure we haven’t tried the other ice cream joints. I’ve given the kids the chance to try somewhere new but they always insist on going back to this same Ice Cream Shop!
It’s convenient to get to and I know it’s delicious so we stick with tradition.
They have delicious, unique flavors that really appeal to kids!
We have tried and loved Peanut Butter Fudge, Twix, Superman, Monster Cookie (a personal favorite), Unicorn (tastes so much like cotton candy and looks so pretty!), and Cookies and Cream.
They also have smoothies, milkshakes, and frozen yogurt. We always get the ice cream, though. It’s tradition! One day I may branch out, though.
The store is beautiful and I especially love the mermaid mural by the front door! It gets beautiful window light and it’s just so beachy!
The whole store is cute and the employees have always been helpful and patient with our large group and slow decision making!
If you’re ever in the area I would recommend a visit! If you do go be sure to let us know what you think of Ice & Cream Creamery in the comments below!
