I grew up eating the Oatmeal orange blossom cookies as a kid visiting side stage deli/cafe. This was when they were supplied by Chris’ bakery. This bakery has been sold and re named multiple times, but the recipe has somehow remained the exact same. Just like my brothers and I remember . The staff at Beanie and Bellies are incredibly friendly, and they are always so sweet to talk to. The cookies are crispy on the edges and remarkably soft and warm in the middle. The orange frosting is made with love and you can taste it in every bite. If you’re not too big on sweets, I recommend getting half the icing. It’s amazing! Will continue to come back again and again and again and again. Thank you ladies!
Called to confirm that they could individually package cupcakes for my office. Owner was incredibly rude and short. I had no problem at first with their tiny cupcakes being $4 a piece or the $.50 upcharge for the individual packaging until her nasty attitude caused me to hang up. Good Luck doing business with that type of attitude.
I’ve been buying cookies from here for years and they are always super fresh and delicious. I recently discovered that they offer chocolate covered strawberries so I bought some for a special occasion. I was very impressed, hands down the best berries I’ve ever had and I loved the presentation. This is the only place I’ll go to for any sweet treats, they are super friendly and fast!
I tried the cookies and creme or the Oreo cupcake. The cookie garnish was stale, and the icing, which was a lot in quantity, tasted more like sugar rather than a combination of cookies and creme. The cake was a bit dry and lacked flavor unless I bit into a chocolate chip that was inside the batter. There is more flavor in a Sams Club cupcake without the overload of icing.
After getting a few cupcakes and cookies we were excited to eat them. The cookies were dry and they had an after taste. The cupcakes dry and chalky.
Very disappointing cookies were dry hard seemed to have been there a long time. Cupcakes were dry and didnt taste pleasant. Not worth $50
Thought it was a quaint, cute little store from the outside. I wasnt greeted exactly with the warmest welcome when walking in. Was watched the entire time I looked around the store. Decided to purchase a keychain, a chocolate chip cookie and some doggy treats for my pups. Check out was quiet and a little awkward because no one said anything to me (granted one of the cashiers was five years old). Upon opening the treats to give my dog, I find that they are molded - badly. Disappointed because I felt pressured to purchase something and what I did purchase wasnt even worth it. On a side note, the two little kids are the cutest thing about that shop.
You can’t beat these cookies. Try them and you’ll be hooked! 🍪
Love the cookies! Red velvet is my favorite. I always stop in when I go to Tampa General which is about every 3 months or out to Brandon( I live in Clearwater now). Thanks for the expanded hours! Cant say anything about anything else because I only have ever tried a few other flavors of cookies( which were awesome) but Im in love with the red velvet cookies. Thats all I ever get. You gotta try one!
Best Baked goods ive had in Tampa, The cupcakes are so moist, now they have VEGAN and GLUTEN FREE! SO EXCITED!!!!. Cookies are AMAZING, I cant wait for the Holidays. :)
They have the BEST cupcakes I have ever had. Such a huge selection, they definitely have something for everyone. Best customer service, they make you feel like family. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!
My husband and I love to come here and see what they’ve baked to pick out something special. We are never disappointed! I highly recommend their unique cupcake flavors. Waaaayyy better than “chain” cupcakes!!
Great customer service ordered from out of town and delivered the same day. The cupcakes were a big hit everyone in the office loved them very yummy!! Great job!! 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Called to place a large cookie order today. I have had numerous locations deliver fresh cookies that were still warm from coming out of the oven. McDonalds actually does it, but I wanted a higher quality cookie. The lady who answered stated they would have to be room temperature to transport (which I understand if this is company policy...not a problem). I did start to attempt to see if there was a way to work around this as I had seen it done several times before at other cookie shops, but I was hung up on. Hmm. Great way to prioritize customer service and ensure the business maintains its longevity. Whoops!
Great cookies! Fresh and good variety...nice people!
Just called and asked for an order for Valentines Day and they said that due to their special orders already received, they could not complete my order. Did not even attempt to try to accommodate. How were they voted #1 in Tampa? Good thing...I could have been a corporate account.
The confetti cupcakes are very delicious they put me in a good mood after i had a bad food order experience i loved that it was not very sweet the dough was soft and it tasted amazing the frosting was very soft and had the right amount of sugar i also order the coconut cookie and loved it it was toasted just write but not hard this was my first time ordering and will be ordering again
Great Cakes and cookies, nice gift baskets. Great Service.
Hands down the best bakery in all of Tampa Bay. Their guava cupcakes are the bomb! To top it all off they have amazing customer service, always going above and beyond!
This has got to be the worst cupcake shop in tampa! No lie! Do not go here for god sakes they dont even have them on display for you to see what kind if wrk they do. This lady brought out a regular size cup cake and threw some icing on top and brought it out to me. My reaction was, well you can imagine. Then she asked me did i want her to out some sprinkles or chips on top? Wow i will never go there again. Thats a real good way to loose business. I apologized to the lady that i bought it for, for it looking like some ordinary cupcake. Tks another unsatisfied customer!
Honestly the best Penaut butter/chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever had, so fresh and all made from scratch. Not to mention amazing customer service
Get the orange blossom cookie. My favorite for years!
Best bakery in tampa!!
