Tanya & Matt's Ice Creamiest is a neighborhood ice cream shop at 15742 N Dale Mabry Hwy in Tampa, FL 33618. It is a spot for a scoop, a generous serving, or a relaxed dessert break, whether you live nearby or are passing through the area. Customer feedback describes a welcoming, familiar feel: one longtime guest has been coming since the 1990s, while others say staff greet newcomers warmly. The shop has a 4.6-star rating from 679 reviews, offering a useful snapshot of many customers’ experiences while recognizing that individual visits and flavor preferences can differ.

Flavor variety is a central part of the appeal. Reviews call out creative options such as Junk in the Trunk, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Cherry Amaretto. One customer describes Junk in the Trunk as a combination of favorite ice cream flavors and praises its large serving; another names Blueberry Cheesecake as a family favorite. Cherry Amaretto is also a familiar choice for at least some returning customers. The selection gives guests different flavors to explore, and reviewers mention that a handful of sugar-free flavors are available as well. Since flavors and availability may change, ask the staff what is being served when you visit.

The atmosphere sounds casual and neighborly rather than formal. Guests describe it as a classic local ice cream stop where regulars return and first-time visitors can feel at ease. Families are one natural fit, with a reviewer sharing that visits bring a smile to their family. It may also suit shoppers looking for a sweet treat during an errand nearby; one reviewer appreciated that the shop is beside TJ Maxx. For a simple pick-me-up after a long day, a scoop here offers an easygoing alternative to planning a full meal or occasion.

Tanya & Matt's Ice Creamiest is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m. The later weekend closing time can be handy for an evening dessert, while the weekday schedule works for an afternoon stop. Customers also mention a rewards option: add your phone number at checkout to save for future visits. If you have a favorite flavor in mind, checking with the shop before making a special trip is a practical way to confirm it is available.

Experiences are not identical for every guest. While many reviews praise the ice cream, creative flavors, generous portions, friendly service, and welcoming neighborhood character, one reviewer describes disappointment with a Cherry Amaretto serving that did not match what they expected. That contrast is useful context when deciding what to order: share your flavor preferences with the staff, ask about ingredients or current batches, and choose from what is available that day. For visitors seeking a relaxed dessert stop in Tampa, Tanya & Matt's Ice Creamiest brings together a broad flavor selection, familiar favorites, and a local-shop feel.

I honestly don’t understand how this place has good ratings. The experience was disappointing from start to finish. The biggest letdown was the ice cream itself. I ordered the Cherry Amaretto, which I’ve been getting for years, and it didn’t even have black cherries in it this time (one red cherry instead). When I questioned the staff, I was told black cherries are in the ice cream (lies). That’s literally the main reason I order that flavor. Instead, it tasted bland and had an icy texture—definitely not worth the price. I’ve had better from a grocery store freezer. To make things worse, my wife and I have been coming here for 28 years specifically for the lucuma flavor, and suddenly they don’t even carry it anymore. No explanation, no alternative—just gone. For a place that’s supposed to have some consistency after the new owners promised to keep it the same that was a huge disappointment. On top of that, the place didn’t look very clean, which is the last thing you want to notice in a food spot. Overall, overpriced, underwhelming, and not worth the visit. I won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Arguably THE best ice cream I’ve ever had!! The Junk in the Trunk flavor is all my favorite ice cream flavors in one and the servings are huge!! (Bonus points because it’s beside the TJMaxx, too 🤩). The perfect pick-me-up after a long day or a sweet treat on a shopping trip. 10/10 recommend! …

YUM! Been a customer since the 90s. Such great ice cream and nice employees. Matt even did an ice sculpture for us one time for Gasparilla. Add your number at checkout for rewards to save in the future. Give this place a try and leave a rating to help others.

This place never fails to put a smile my family's face. Best Ice Cream joint in Tampa. With not only great quality ice cream, Tanya and Matt's also has some truly creative flavors. Blueberry Cheesecake is a house favorite. Cherry Amaretto …

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!
