Anna Maria Island Creamery And Bakery

The dessert selection here is wonderfully diverse and made with high-quality ingredients. I tried the coconut cake, Key Lime Pie, and an assortment of chocolates, and I was impressed by every one of them. The coconut cake was light and fluffy, featuring a buttercream that was perfectly balanced in sweetness. The Key Lime Pie delivered a delightful burst of citrus with a creamy top that held together beautifully, unlike many inferior versions. The chocolates, sourced from a chocolatier in Tampa, were expertly crafted, showcasing a glossy finish alongside perfect texture and complementary flavors. While the ambience could benefit from some updates or a little more attention to the decor—suggesting a stronger commitment to product quality—this is a minor issue. After all, many places with subpar treats often rely on flashy decor to distract from their offerings.

I visited on a Sunday afternoon, but the restaurant was closed. There was a lockbox on the door. Is it permanently closed?

This place has arguably the best ice cream sorbet in the world. My favorites are the toasted marshmallow and blue raspberry flavors. The staff here are incredibly friendly, and I travel two hours just to enjoy their ice cream!

This is a super cute shop. They have gelato and sorbet and only soft serve vanilla or chocolate. They have a small section of gelato and a few more options of sorbet. It is small with limited seating outside, but there are additional benches below the patio.

Choice of flavors were very few and cones were stale. Our kids enjoyed theirs birthday cake and cotton candy flavors.
