Twistee Treat Sheldon

I was dying to find a place like this. It’s like a childhood dream came true. Really really awesome place. Best ice cream in Tampa IMAO.

The ice cream is amazing and very inexpensive. They have a drive thru for convenience and they have a wonderful staff! Delicious!

Ice cream sandwiches are delicious! The employees are also super friendly. Great little spot!

The ice cream is mediocre and honestly just way too sweet. I’m pregnant and the ice cream gave me a sugar headache. Not what I was expecting at all. There is seating outside and the staff is very friendly. I prefer Haagen Dazs or just buying ice cream and staying at home. Not a fan of their ice creams will not be back again.

Located near Sheldon road and Memorial by Philly Phlava. It’s an ice cream cone shaped building, so it’s hard to miss, and is well lit in the evening. There menu offers soft serve ice cream, slushies, shakes, malts, sundaes, twirls (their version of a blizzard), banana splits, cookiewich we, waffle tacos, brownie boats, and Nathan’s hot dogs (with or without chili).
Good soft serve ice cream (do not sell regular ice cream) with choices of regular of the more health conscious «twistee light» — has no fat, no sugar — AND you can request it in ANY flavor.
They offer several flavors, many «premium», such as caramel, cotton candy, pumpkin, peanut butter, German chocolate, banana, etc…
The staff is very pleasant and willing to make a premium flavor of they don’t have it (which is awesome).
There are multiple cone options in different sizes (which is nice) waffle, sugar, cake (some of which are dipped).
Generally I prefer the drive through, because it’s convenient. The portions are huge, and there are a ton of flavor/​topping choices for your customized creation — can make your own blizzard like twistee. They also make cookiewich (cookie sandwich), which are good, but very filling and enough to split. They also sell Nathan’s hot dogs, but I haven’t tried those.
They offer a loyalty program if you’re a regular…$ 5.00 reward for every $ 50.00 spent and on your birthday get one complimentary item.
BEVERAGES
They sell coke beverages and water.
They also offer slushies, shakes, and malts in an assortment of sizes and flavors.
Definitely will return.

We stopped here on our way home from dinner. All of their ice cream is soft serve only. I don’t mind this at all, but others might.
Their menu is loaded with options, so many flavors, and so many toppings! They serve twirls which are similar to blizzards. My favorite is the peanut butter ice cream with Reese’s pieces mixed in! Tonight I just had vanilla in a cup with sprinkles and Oreos mixed in. I got a small and it was so big I couldn’t even eat half!
This place is so cute, shaped like an ice cream cone and has rainbow sprinkle lights top! They also have a drive thru which is pretty awesome. The staff is very friendly and the girl at the drive through tonight was so helpful to us!

We love this place! Every time we go the staff is friendly and the tasty treats were tasty!

I ordered a nice cream late one night for a sweet craving. The girl at the window was very hospitable. I ordered one of the «twistee» blended ice cream (mint ice cream with cookie dough) and it was good. Next time I’ll add some chocolate to it !

I am not a big dessert fan usually but it is hard to drive by the ice cream shaped restaurant with led colored sprinkles on top without my son asking if we can stop by. I decided to give it a try.
I will say that the ice cream seems to melt a little quicker than other nearby places but that may also be a product of outdoor dining in Florida compared to most of the other ice cream places being indoor restaurants.
I was pleasantly surprised to see a menu filled with many options. Although I didn’t really care to order ice cream, I was able to get this deal for two Nathan’s hotdogs and a shake for $ 5.99. The hotdogs come with a variety of complimentary toppings too. I had chili and cheese.
The line can be long at times due to the popularity of this location however the employees and friendly and the experience pleasant.

Great place to come for those late night ice cream cravings. This is a new location that has opened up and has a lot more flavor options then the one on Hanley. Prices aren’t too bad and they have created a great sitting area to enjoy your treat! I didn’t realize how much I liked rainbow sprinkles on ice cream until I came here. It brought out the inner child hehe. So far I have tried the coconut and the piña colada on a waffle cone with sprinkles :) Both were delicious. The only grip I have is that as soon as I get my cone everything starts melting! I lose half of my precious sprinkles! It becomes a messy event so I would suggest having hand sanitizer for the aftermath. My hubby has tried out the ice cream cookie sandwich and the taco. The cookie sandwich was kind of hard, I thought they were going to make it to order, but I guess they have a freezer of them and the tacos. Not too impressed. My sisters got a shake and the small was huge! Plenty to share with the whole table.
If you have a puppy companion with you they will also make sure they get a treat! A little cup with vanilla ice cream and a doggy treat on top! Our dogs loved it!

This place is adorable. It’s shaped like an ice cream cone and there are rainbow LED sprinkles on top. The colorful Adirondack chairs, umbrellas, and benches are great. A nice touch is that there’s a sturdy railing around the patio area so kids can’t run out in front of cars. Bonus points to the kid who took my order wearing the «There’s always money in the banana stand» T-​shirt. Lolz
I got a kid-​sized cookie dough «blizzard/​mixer» type thing (twister? I dunno). It was $ 2.99 plus tax and I could barely finish it. The ice cream was really good and there was TONS of cookie dough. Twistee Treat knows the way to my heart… don’t skimp on the mix-​ins.
I’m super proud that I’ve been driving by this place at least 3 times a week since early May and this is the first time I’ve stopped.
Besides ice cream, they also have Nathan’s hot dogs. One is $ 1.89 and there are combos of 2 dogs and a shake too. I wish they had chili and cheese… that would’ve been mighty tempting.

Just craving for some ice cream and as it’s is closer to my place decided to visit this place to get my cravings satisfied and I was satisfied. The location has easy access.

This place is dangerously close to home and has become my «weekly treat»! Their ice cream is so smooth and creamy and the cookiewich is my absolute fave — it’s made fresh daily and covered in chocolate chips. If you haven’t tried one, you need to!

This is exactly what an ice cream place should be: fun, easy, loaded with available choices and excellent ice cream.
How can you pass up an ice cream place that is shaped like a giant soft-​serve ice cream cone, with a huge menu and outdoor seating? Huddle near the posted overhead menu in front of the ordering window (or drive-​thru) and do your best to pick your selection: lots of ice cream flavors or soft-​serve, plenty of cone types and flavors, sundaes, shakes, splits, slushies, twists or specialty items. Or how about a hot dog?
This demanding task will pay off in the end, since everything looks great, there is absolutely no skimping on the quantity of any ingredient, the price is right, and the taste is downright awesome. Their stuff is fresh, made very well and prepared excellently.
The place is clean inside and out, and they have tables with umbrellas, benches and chairs to sit and enjoy (or share) every lick. What a great place for kids and adults of any age. Enjoy a treat by yourself, with friends or the family. It’s a great time!

Historically, not a fan of Twistee Treat. However, this new location has a lot more to offer than what my memory recalls of these icecream cone-​shaped suppliers of frozen goodies. Not only did I see shakes and malts, but I also saw Nathan’s hot dogs? Nce touch.
I recently stopped in for two hand-​dipped cones. Apparently «two» is the new «one» because that’s what they heard. They eventually got the order right, but not before my cone started sweating like a whore in church. Oh well, maybe next time.
Cones were good tho, so I might swing thru again.

I just took the family to this place tonight for the first time. Wow. really awesome Ice Cream. And I haven’t seen such friendly service at an Ice Cream joint since the Carvel’s on Sheldon Road closed a year or two ago.
If you have not been here yet, I highly recommend the soft ice cream. Just order a Chocolate-​Vanilla Twist on a cake cone and be prepared for a heavenly experience!

How can I drive by this place weekly and not stop?
While out and about with Miss E, I decided to Drive In. Having a newborn baby, any type of food selection needs to include a drive thru. Getting in and out of the car with a baby is not an easy feat and one I care not to do.
I saw they had waffle tacos. The thought took me back to my younger years when I enjoyed a Choco Taco from 7 – 11. I opted for the chocolate chip one.
My husband and I are in a weight loss challenge (BTW I’m going to win) so I knew I couldn’t blow my lead by devouring the entire thing. A few bites is all I needed to satisfy my sweet tooth.
It was pretty easy, considering it was just OK. I could tell it’s not a hot seller and that it had been sitting in the freezer a little too long. Next time I will opt for a kid’s size soft serve ice cream.

I’ve driven by old school Twistee Treats for years in Tampa Bay and never tried them. They looked old and unappetizing. All of a sudden I notice a brand new cone building being built right in front of the barber shop we take our don to. Then I heard that there was another new Twistee Treat in Carollwood. So, I finally tried twistee after they opened.
Woooow! I’ve been missing out all these years of living in Tampa Bay!
I’m a big fan of custard and the ice cream at Twistee Treat sort of has a custardy consistency, which I love!
I really like the fact that there are seasonal flavors. The pumpkin is awesome and I can’t wait to order again next Fall!
The ice cream sandwich is HUGE! It took me 3 days (I took a few bites then put it in the freezer) to finish eating it. The chocolate chip cookies that the vanilla ice cream is sandwiched in between are quality real size cookies!
This location is clean and festive looking, especially at night. There’s good seating outside and the drive thru is so convenient. (I will frequent any joint if there’s a drive thru… particularly when I look crazy… which is often).
My kids love Twistee Treat and even hubby who acts like he doesn’t like sweets (he’s an undercover dessert lover) likes Twistee Treat.
So far the customer service has been great too. I hope it stays this way after the new, new wears off!

Twistee Treat was a huge favorite of mine growing up and I can’t say how happy I was to see these iconic cone buildings popping up around Tampa. We grabbed dinner nearby on a Friday evening and decided we needed an ice cream chaser. This location was having a little kid’s dance party event with a DJ, cool lights, and fun contests for the kids. Despite the noise and children running to and fro, it was actually kind of cool to be outside on a balmy night with fabulously crappy dance music blasting. I went with a plain old chocolate cone and the hubby did one of the specialty flavors in a cup. The ice cream was a good as it always is and we were amused to see a few staff members at this location that we recognized from the Fowler location. Maybe they were called in for the event? A note on the staff — I am often hesitant when I see that the entire staff appears to be under 18, but they were friendly, helpful, and quick. Sorry I doubted you kids — you did a great job!
