"The Dessert Spot (featured in the header image of the article) serves up sweets that are almost too pretty to eat. After 15 years, Toffee to Go added The Dessert Spot so visitors could sit down and enjoy a pastry and a cup of coffee. The confections this spot whips out are next level good."
"Over in Palma Ceia, check out The Dessert Spot at Toffee to Go, which has earned five stars out of 166 reviews on Yelp. You can find the spot to score desserts, coffee and tea and ice cream and frozen yogurt at 3251 W."
"Not everyone has a sweet tooth, but dessert is always a good idea. Whether you want an after dinner snack or a treat in the afternoon, these are just a few of the best dessert spots in Tampa for you to try."
"Micki’s is yet another St. Pete Beach ice cream shop on Gulf Boulevard, two blocks from Caprice Resort. This simplistic establishment uses non-GMO dairy products from Working Cow Ice Cream and sells 221 BC Kombucha, Black Crow Coffee, and (swah-rey) cupcakes. Don’t let your ice cream melt!"
"Sweet Divas Chocolates makes homemade chocolate treats using fine Belgian Chocolate. This is a great spot if you’re looking for a local gift – with chocolate boxes and gourmet cupcakes available!. Located near the St. Pete pier, you can visit this spot after visiting the St. Pete Museum of Fine Arts."
"Channelside Bay Plaza is comprised of several shops, restaurants, entertainment centers, and nightlife destinations. Each part of the plaza is aesthetically pleasing, mostly built with bricks to give a European architectural vibe. There are palm trees and fountains scattered in the area as well."
"Washed in light, this glass-filled mall invites shoppers to browse among palm trees, sculpture and water features. Open since 1995, the TownCenter is one of the area's most popular venues. It's anchored by four department stores; Macy's, Dillards, JCPenney, and Sears."
"WestShore Plaza is a vast mall which features exclusive dining and over 100 retail shops for each member of the family to choose from. It is complete with amenities for every shopper’s convenience like lockers, ATM machines, baby changing stations, children’s play area, lost-and-found stations, and wheelchairs. There are so many shops to choose from, famous ones include Children’s Place, Cotton On, H&M, Macy’s, Old Navy, and many more."
"In addition to major department stores and 100 specialty shops, this indoor shopping mall boasts a 14-screen movie theater with a full bar. Also on site, Maggiano’s Little Italy, Besito Mexican Restaurant, Irish 31 Pub House & Eatery and Mitchell’s Fish Market offer fancy sit-down options for lunch and dinner, while the bustling food court is a popular and quick choice."
"Within shouting distance of our Tribute Portfolio hotel, Westshore Plaza presents better than 100 stores for your shop-till-you-drop pleasure, from big-name department stores and apparel outlets—Macy’s, Sears, JCPenney, Foot Locker, Old Navy, Victoria’s Secret, and others—to specialty retailers."
"Aqua blue waters rolling in on a white powedered sandy beach, all very clean with change houses and washroom facilities."
"Other good options are St. Pete Beach and Caladesi Island. Accessing St. Pete Beach involves finding a parking space, feeding a meter, and carrying all your gear to the beach. The payoff is sparkling clear water, and soft, white sand. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for rent, and playgrounds sit directly on the beach."
"Have breakfast at the Vinoy, then drive half an hour either to the lively St. Pete Beach or to the more isolated Fort De Soto Park. Have some fun in the sun before enjoying a sunset dinner at The Hurricane in St. Pete Beach. Stay the night at the Sirata Beach Resort."
