“ It's like being transported straight back to the 90's! This ice cream bar captures the essence of the decade with its neon colors, funky decor, and the unmistakable sound of classic 90's hits playing in the background. It's not just about the ice cream here--it's an experience. A large group of us showed up and the owner was able to accommodate all of us. They have plenty of seating inside and outside. You'll have to find a spot to park on central so be prepared to walk 2 or 3 min. from your car. ”
“ This place is sugar heaven- I'm so cereal about it! All your cereal fantasies have turned real at the Cereal Bar. It's such a fun concept- the place is reminiscent of old school cereal boxes/ cartoons and completely doesn't match its location in downtown St. Pete (which is a good thing). They handmake all their ice creams in the shop, and you can tell. The fun part of this place is that along with your ice cream, you can choose to mix in any cereal- literally I swear they have mostly any you can think of. You can also mix in pop tarts- I chose this route and did pop tart mix in with my espresso ice cream and let me tell you this is what ice cream should be. The pop tarts gave it such a nice and satisfying texture, and the espresso ice cream was sooo good, again you could tell it was really homemade. The owner was working behind the bar and was really friendly and helpful. Yes, these desserts can get super sweet when you have ice cream, a sugary mix in as well as a topping like hot fudge, sprinkles or more. But if you love to overload on sugary goodness, then this is the place for you. ”
“ Super cool concept and love that you can build your own. Staff was friendly. Definitely think it is something you want to try once, after that you would probably be ok. Was definitely waaaayyy too sweet for me, after a couple bites i was finished. Definitely fun for kids tho. Cute tables to eat at outside ”
“ This place was fun. Combine ridiculous sugary cereal with your favorite ice cream. I was a bit overwhelmed by the idea, so it was good that they had some suggested recipes. ”
“ Feeling like a dose of nostalgia? With some of the most unique and fun ice cream you've tried? Then look no further. We were so lucky to stumble across The Cereal Bar in St Pete and now make it a stop every time we visit!! You can pick from a plethora of different cereals, pop tarts and toppings to make an original blended homemade ice cream, we have tried a different combination every visit and every time we swear it's our new favorite. The staff are always so sweet and helpful, and the owner is absolutely lovely. Stop by this small business and you will NOT be disappointed. ”
“ This place is the cutest! It's such a unique and fun concept and the decorations are adorable. I love cereal flavored desserts so this was right up my alley. The servers were very patient and the ice cream was made pretty quickly. I made a sort of s'mores inspired ice cream combo which turned out delicious! I would love to come back and try so many more flavors, I just love how customizable and unique it is! ”
“ Fun place that we took our kids to. The cereal bar combines ice cream and cereal which is way too sweet for my taste but my kids really liked it. ”
“ Cutest little place. I love this concept! We opted for vanilla ice cream with Cinnamon toast crunch and Golden grahams. I probably would pick different flavors next time, but it was a solid choice. I did not notice that they had a bunch of combinations already posted on Little posters throughout the shop. I probably pick one of those combinations in the future. What I loved most is that they grind up the cereal in the ice cream and there are still some crunchy pieces when you are eating the ice cream so it has a nice crunchy texture to it. Lots of different choices! Check it out! Service could not have been better. The young gentleman working explained the entire concept and was very helpful. ”
“ This place is bomb dot com! My first thought was "ew, cereal? What can you possibly do with it?!" But then, I decided to check it and wow. I was not expecting anything like this! Ever since my first experience in this place, this has become my go to for dessert whenever I'm around St. Pete. They mixed your choice of ice cream flavor and your choice of cereal together in their special mixer. The creaminess and crunchiness just goes beautifully together. We usually get the chocolate ice cream and coco pebbles with the puffles! Their puffles are made fresh and in front of you! The staff were nice and patient enough to explain the whole process. Casual cute place! Gives you that nostalgic vibe with their decor. 10/10 would come here again! ”
“ This was truly the bomb of desserts! Was craving some dessert after dinner and this happened to be nearby so we thought we'd try it out. The outside of the store doesn't look too exciting but once you go in you can really see the effort the owners have gone to make it look so inviting. The employees making the ice cream were extremely polite. They were pleasant to speak with and made the experience so much better. Let's get to the food now shall we! We ordered the bubble waffle, chocolate ice cream + cookie butter ice cream, cocoa pebbles and Nutella. I'm big on ice cream so I wasn't expecting anything crazy because I've tried so many different flavors but this was truly delicious! The highlight was the bubble waffle. It was fresh, still warm and flavor was on point. Overall this deserves 5/5 and possibly the best dessert in town! ”
