Located at 2017 E Fowler Ave. in Tampa, Kini’s Home Style Ice Cream lets each customer “experience the joy of ice cream in every bite.” Kini’s has built a reputation for serving the “best artisan home style dairy and vegan ice cream in Tampa,” and the reviews confirm it.
“Kini’s ice cream is, without question the best ice cream in town,” says one 5-star review on Google. “From the moment you walk in, the service is top- tier- warm, friendly and genuinely excellent. Now let’s talk flavors …the mango and custard apple are next-level amazing. So rich, so creamy and bursting with real, authentic flavor – every bite is pure happiness. I even grabbed a pint to- go and honestly? Even the to-go bag is stylish which shows how much thought and care they put in every detail. Kini’s isn’t just ice cream, it’s an experience. A must-visit for ice cream lovers!”
Now, Kini’s appears to be on the move with a new location planned for Tampa. A recently submitted plan review shows a new Kini’s Home Style Ice Cream in the works at 17020 Palm Pointe Dr.
It’s not yet known whether this represents a second location for Kini’s or if the ice cream shop is moving. What Now reached out to co-owner Gauri Kini on Tuesday to ask about plans for the 17020 Palm Pointe Dr. location. Kini declined to comment at this time.
“Alongside our signature dairy creations, we proudly offer handcrafted vegan selections made with carefully chosen plant-based ingredients, delivering the same creamy texture and vibrant flavors that define our collection,” says the Kini’s website. “Whether you are discovering the delicate sweetness of Tender Coconut, the floral richness of Alphonso Mango, the creamy elegance of Custard Apple, or the distinctive character of Jackfruit, every flavor is designed to tell a story of place, season, and heritage.”
