Ice & Cream Creamery to replace Brutique on the 600 block in downtown St. Pete

Ice & Cream Creamery, a new old-fashioned ice cream shop, will open in the former Brutique space in downtown St. Pete | St. Pete Rising

Ice & Cream Creamery is bringing small-batch ice cream, hand-spun milkshakes, and more to downtown St. Pete.

The local ice cream chain will open at 648 Central Avenue, formerly home to Brutique, which closed in July after nine years in business.

The new 1,500-square-foot shop will be the eighth location for Ice & Cream Creamery, which has seven existing stores throughout Pinellas County, including two on Clearwater Beach and one each in Madeira Beach, Dunedin, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, and Gulfport.

The creamery says its ice cream is made fresh in small batches using locally sourced ingredients, with a selection of 48 flavors.

The flavors lean toward the classics, with options like butter pecan, rocky road, cookies and cream, and mint chip, plus varieties such as red velvet cake, salted caramel peanut, coconut almond fudge, and chocolate fudge brownie.

Other options include Stellar Coffee, pistachio, dulce de leche, and Dreamsicle, which swirls vanilla ice cream with orange sherbet.

The menu also features watermelon and red raspberry sorbets, key lime and rainbow sherbets, and dairy-free coconut milk ice cream.

Gluten-free options and sugar-free vanilla, chocolate, and mint chip are also available.

A single scoop is listed at $4.97, with double scoops priced at $7.97 and triple scoops at $11.97.

For an additional 97 cents, customers can add toppings such as Reese’s peanut butter cups, Oreos, Nutella, gummy bears, sliced strawberries, marshmallow fluff, and hot fudge.

Beyond scoops, Ice & Cream Creamery serves $6.50 hand-spun milkshakes, ice cream floats, and Twisters, its take on a Dairy Queen Blizzard.

An opening timeline has not yet been announced for the downtown St. Pete location.
