I went to Tanya and Matt’s Ice Creamiest with a group of friends, and we left extremely disappointed. We were standing there clearly waiting to be served, and the staff completely ignored us. Instead, they skipped right over us and went to help the last group of people that walked in after us — like we were invisible. That was flat-out disrespectful. No greeting, no acknowledgment, nothing. We felt completely dismissed. I don’t care how “popular” this place is — treating people like that is unacceptable. We won’t be coming back.

I've been going to Tanya & Matt's ice cream parlor for almost 19 years and the quality and flavor of ice cream is still the same or even better. Today I tried the chocolate covered cherry ice cream.... But I also loved the key lime pie flavor. I'm definitely going back for more. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and had a nice smile despite the rush at the time we got there. The place is always busy, we are lucky we found a spot to sit. Today was the perfect day for ice cream and Tanya & Matt's was definitely the place to go.
I’m not sure what changed but my part of five came with no one in line in front of us. Only one work would take care of your group and even when the other group members asked for help the other employees refused to help. The first people in our group were completely finished by the time the last person got ice cream. The only thing I can figure is it’s about tips. I’ve been coming here for years but won’t be back unless this is fixed.
First time in this place and Debrielle took care of us, wow.. outstanding customer service, she told us about the most popular flavors, the new ones, also offered us to try them before order, a smile always with every interaction, she also came out and cleaned the table.. about the flavor... Uffff amazing
This is a classic neighborhood ice cream shop. If you live in the area you are a regular, if you don’t live in the area you are greeted like you are a regular! They have a wide variety of flavors and a handful of sugar free flavors as well. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the ice cream never disappoints! The only suggestion we have is more seating options. They offer booths and some outdoor seating but any parties larger than 4-5 it can be difficult to all sit together. We can’t wait to come back!
Debrielle was so nice & Welcoming here!! She made the perfect milkshake for me & Was super kind!! Thank you!
One of our all time favorites for ice cream. Their Ube flavor is so good! Me & my step kids fav a must try. 10/10🔥🔥

And if ye be cravin' somethin' extra thick and creamy, well... let’s just say Tanya and Matt know how to deliver the goods.
The cones, mates, oh the cones! Crisp and ready to handle whatever load ye throw their way, they’ll hold up better than a well-trained crew in a storm. And if ye fancy a sundae, ye’ll find the toppings piled high, makin’ yer mouth water in anticipation of the sweet, sticky mess that’ll leave ye satisfied yet yearnin’ for more.
The service, ye ask? Aye, the crew here be friendly and quick with a smile, treatin’ ye like the captain ye are. They know just how to handle yer... order, whether it be large or small, and they’re more than happy to oblige any special requests.

Great lil ice cream shop. Every flavor I have tried is delicious. My fave is the UBE.
Update August 2024: More improvements. Friendly staff and at an adequate staffing level. More flavors. I had the nanna’s banana pudding - so good.
2022: Much improved with new ownership. Friendlier, cleaned up inside, nicely done order window and then place where they put your order for pick up, nice selection of flavors - and an added bonus - no more creepy Matt at the store

I discovered Tonya and Matt during the pandemic. I wanted so much to feel normal with everything closed down. I appreciate the outside seating, but most of all, the customer service and the product itself. This was our go to outing almost daily. The ice cream Orders were taken from a window, and the young ladies brought them out to the customer through the door. my favorite combinations were Lucuma, Ube, and Ginger. Ube is still my favorite ice cream next to ginger I not pair it with coconut as well as vanilla cherry. I have yet to find another location of these flavors.
We had a blast! The ice cream was great, as was the service. We’ll definitely come back the next time we’re nearby.
We tried to get simple cones at the Northdale location today. Unfortunately your team members couldn’t be bothered to take our order. In stead they stood gabbing with one another. What gives Matt???
I had the pleasure of being led through an ice cream journey by Bella. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and her knowledge was unparalleled.
Bella’s guidance made me feel like an ice cream connoisseur in training. She didn’t just serve scoops; she crafted an experience.
Thanks, Bella, for turning a simple scoop into a memorable expedition!

I keep coming back for the vegan cookies & cream! It’s my favorite in Tampa Bay! 🫶🏾 there caramel is really good too. Everything taste homemade. It’s creamy but not too creamy, has that iciness I like.
I am a loyal customer of this ice cream shop, but today it is going through a bad time. I went with my daughter and my pet, I stayed outside waiting with my dog and my 9-year-old daughter went in to buy her ice cream, but she spent 10 minutes in line without anyone helping her. The girls were chatting among themselves, not caring that there was a person waiting. When I entered I told one of the girls that my daughter had been waiting for a long time to be seen and the worst thing was that there was no line. They should be more attentive and should respect all customers.
Love this local stop for ice cream! Homemade ice cream that is so smooth and delicious and very friendly staff!!
Smooth and creamy, so Delicious. Different fresher, cleaner taste than mist places. Tastes exactly like the flavor says. Really nice and helpful people behind the counter. They always share a smile and that is not always easy to find. Wonderful selection too.
Great milkshakes. A bit pricey, but good. They have great flavors like Smurfs, Superman, and Cinnimon (among others). Great spot for the family in Carrollwood.
The Vietnam coffee and vanilla bean Sunday was the best Sunday I have ever experienced! Such service with a smile!! I am coming here more often now!!
Delicious ice creams. Fast Attention. Amazing customer Service. Attention to detail. We tried Ube, Pistacho, Matcha and vanilla chip and they were all REALLY GOOD 10/10. 100% recommend this place. There’s plenty of ice cream options
Fantastic customer service as they serve delicious ice cream it's a win-win 😁!
We went here yesterday. I ordered the Uber and coconut ice cream on waffle bowl. I enjoyed it sooo much. I hope in the future they will have jackfruit and maiz con yelo flavor to make it Filipino halo halo ice cream.
Delicious homemade ice cream at a North Tampa staple that's been around for over 30 years! Our kids love Cookie Monster, Cotton Candy, and Strawberry, and playing the claw machine whenever we go! Perfect for a family night out or just when I'm in the area running errands
Would recommend anyone who is in the area or coming in from out of town to try Tanya and Matts. You will not regret it! The staff is great and better yet, the ice cream is homemade!!! This is a must stop if you’re near the shop or have a craving for delicious ice cream
EDITED:
The one thing my daughter (3.5) asked for coming to Florida was bubblegum ice cream. I called all over in Siesta Key, Ruskin, and Tampa. Calling here, I was told yes they have it. Day of, I went online to verify, as it had been a couple days. Bubblegum icecream is listed in the online menu. I then went to order ahead, and was able to select bubblegum icecream, so thinking I was safe, drove an extra 30 minutes away. Got here, and no bubblegum icecream. Major disappointment.
NEW INFO:
Not only did the owners promptly respond to my review with an apology, they provided an email address for further communication. I was able to correspond directly with the owner to have my frustrations resolved. As I am out of state, they offered many solutions to go above and beyond providing exceptional customer service.
Side note, the bubblegum icecream is truly amazing. It's the nostalgic pink icecream with little gum pieces throughout, not the blue and pink bubblegum flavored icecream you might be able to find elsewhere.
I will definitely be going back on my next visit to Florida!

Love coming here with my husband, the ice cream is always amazing and they have a huge selection! Prices are great for the serving sizes
Wonderful place. Tons of choices something for everyone and the staff made sure no allergies were issues
The place was a great representation of a well equipped ice cream shop.
Dozens of flavors to choose from, many unique to the location.
My favorite was junk in the trunk this time. My ice cream cohort chose almond joy, which has real coconut!
Both flavors were exciting and new, along with the 38 or so other flavor. They seem to be made with real ingredients and have such a natural and creamy flavor.

This is a perfect local ice cream shop. Our kids love coming here to meet friends after big school events and for other special occasions. There are typically a couple dozen flavors, some of which are pretty unique. Staff are always really nice and patient with aforementioned kids. It is a little awkward to see every flavor when there is a long line, but all flavors are listed on the wall to help in this regard. Would highly recommend supporting this family-owned local business!
I always love going to this place with their homemade ice cream and of course my favorite one there is the strawberries cookies and cream ❤️❤️. Keep following our reviews in and around the Tampa area with FUNTAMPA / THE KERIN GROUP
Carolyn did an amazing job :) thank you so much! Amazing place and very good ice cream.
Finally found this place after tasting at the tampa Chef Showdown back in April. Ube flavor is super smooth and leaves a nice after-taste. Mississippi mudslide was delicious. Look forward to trying more flavors.
The staff are friendly and the ice cream is so good and creamy. Definitely our list to go to for ice cream. Our favorite flavors are ube/ taro, Mississippi mudslide, Cookie Monster, Smurf, Oreo red velvet and still counting ;)
staff is always extremely friendly and patient! flavors rotate and are always delicious! place is clean even though ice cream melts and can get sticky!
Loved this place! We came for the first time this weekend. They had sooo many flavors including the classics as well as unique ones. I also loved that they have different options for toppings like Nutella. Prices were reasonable and they offer kiddie cones. We will definitely be back!
Love this place. It has a great selection of ice cream. The staff is very helpful and friendly also.
