Chill Bros Scoop Shop is popping up at Green Bench Brewing this Friday | Green Bench Brewing

Tampa-based Chill Bros Scoop Shop will bring its ice cream to downtown St. Pete this Friday with a pop-up at Green Bench Brewing ahead of National Ice Cream Day.

The company's ice cream truck will be parked in front of the brewery at 1133 Baum Avenue North from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Green Bench's resident food truck, Offset Sandwich Exchange, and a local flower vendor will also be on-site.

“We wanted to use the truck to introduce St. Pete to Chill Bros and give people a taste of what makes us special,” Elisa Davis, Chill Bros' events and marketing manager, said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. “We'd love to become more involved in the St. Pete community.”

Founded in 2020 by owner Max Chillura and his siblings, Chill Bros has expanded to five Tampa scoop shops and offers 19 flavors, including Tampa-inspired options such as Café Con Leche Chunk and Guava Pastelito.

Chill Bros makes its ice cream from scratch in small batches using techniques learned during founder Max Chillura's training in Bologna, Italy, widely considered the birthplace of gelato.

Each flavor starts with a custard base made with Florida milk and cream, egg yolks, cane sugar, and salt, without using any artificial stabilizers or emulsifiers.

The company also makes many of its mix-ins, sauces, and baked goods in-house.

Ingredients include Plant City strawberries, Polk County orange blossom honey and Buddy Brew Coffee, along with imported Sicilian pistachios sourced from the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily.

Friday’s event in St. Pete will offer around ten flavors, including classics like Mad Vanilla Bean and Birthday Cake alongside customer favorites such as Double Down Oreo and The Malty Millionaire, which contains chocolate-covered shortbread squares and thick swirls of house-made salted caramel.

Davis said Chill Bros is planning additional pop-ups in St. Pete, with details to be announced at a later date.
