If you haven’t noticed, summer 2021 has been very good for Chill Bros. Scoop Shop. Last month, the ice cream shop with locations in Ybor City and South Tampa announced a forthcoming location at Water Street.
And now, a fourth Chill Bros. Scoop Shop is looking at a fall opening on the ground level of South Tampa’s Epicurean Hotel. A PR rep told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that the new shop is moving into the same parcel that used to be home to the Bern’s-affiliated Little Midway ice cream concept (don’t worry, a Bern’s rep said you can still get macadamia nut pints to go at Haven, just a few blocks away).
The hotel will also house their production facility, where all ice cream is frozen, mixed, and packed on-site. Guests will be able to get a front row seat to the Chill Bros. team of chefs as they create every flavor from Belgian brownie to housemade vegan varieties from scratch plus their mix-ins, toppings, and more.
“We’re fired up to be opening our third scoop shop at Epicurean,” said Chill Bros. owner Maximilian Chillura in a press release. “We can’t wait to begin this partnership with a truly local Tampa hotel that shares our passion for creating and sharing exceptional food.
“Chill Bros. shares our same devotion for using top quality ingredients and care to create exceptional culinary experiences,” said Shawn Routten, General Manager of the Epicurean Hotel, in the release. “We value our partnerships with local businesses and believe Chill Bros. will be a sweet addition for our locals and hotel guests alike.”
The Epicurean Hotel sits at 1207 S Howard Ave. Follow Chill Bros. Scoop Shop via @chillbrosicecream on Instagram and Facebook to keep up with any updates. Their Ybor City and South Tampa locations are open Sunday noon-9 p.m., Monday-Thursday noon-9:30 p.m., and Friday-Saturday noon-11 p.m.
