About Orange Octopus

American bakeries range from wholesale operations that supply restaurants to neighborhood shops that sell bread, pastries, cookies and cakes over the counter, and many of them also pour coffee. Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 1–10 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (941) 346-0202. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.

Sarasota is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Sarasota follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Orange Octopus was the perfect treat during our visit to Siesta Key. The ice cream was delicious, and the young woman serving us was warm welcoming and friendly. It’s a great spot to take a break while enjoying everything the area has to offer. Highly recommend stopping

If you’re at the beach you need top notch ice cream. Look no further than Orange Octopus. There are plenty of delicious options to choose from. My favorite ice cream flavors are the key lime pie and the coffee. The ice cream is full of flavor regardless of which kind. You’re welcome to taste before choosing your next scoop. It’s worth the stop on your next beach trip.

Wrapped up fun in the sun with some friends and the kiddos were in the mood for ice cream. After spending hours at siesta beach. We searched online using sources like yelp to find a place with great reviews and a place near the beach. Orange octopus ice cream came up. Our commute time from one place to the other was only 7 minutes. We get there and parking was dreadful. Parking space is slim to none. The timing worked out in our favor. The young folks did a good job welcoming us in with greetings. The space is narrow and intimate. They helped us order and gave us samples of flavors to try (upon request). They all were very patient with our group of 3 adults and 3 children. The restroom is kept nice and pristine. Since there’s no indoor seating, we sat outside their patio area, sat and enjoyed our treats. If in the area again, we be delighted to go back.

Great ice-cream just a block off the beaten path. Probably best ice-cream in Sarasota. It's a bit hidden but worth it! Made in small batches. Very tasty! Staff is friendly and helpful. Large portions.

We visited here as it was one of the most highly rated ice cream shops in Sarasota, our son had vanilla which he loved, my wife had an amazing key lime ice cream and I went for two scoops; coffee crunch and salted caramel. The portion sizes are huge and it is well priced for a tourist destination. We couldn’t actually finish the ice creams as were we full. Parking is a little confusing but we do love this place and will be back when we are in the area again.
