If you're looking for a bakery that truly embodies the art of baking, look no further than Bake'n Babes. Jenna was the best with treating my family with smiles and great treats! From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with the irresistible aroma of fresh-baked bread and pastries. The display cases are filled with an array of treats that are as beautiful as they are delicious. But what really sets Bake'n Babes apart is the quality of their baked goods. Bake'n Babes is by far one of the best bakery’s in the greater Tampa area and definitely a must for a family trip! Each bite is a testament to the skill and care that goes into creating them. My favorite item was the Babe Shake, you can taste the passion that goes into every sip! And it's not just the ice cream and shakes that are exceptional. The staff at Bake'n Babes are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help you find the perfect treat to satisfy your craving. Jenna was above and beyond! Their customer service is top-notch and they truly go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience.

In my quest to find the perfect chocolate chip cookie, I came across a new shop at Armature Works. First, I hate that parking there costs $10, but that is on the City of Tampa for not doing better. I ordered 6 of the chocolate chip, and these cookies are massive. I found it interesting that their sampler pack is $25 for 6 when 4 of the 6 cookies in the sampler pack are at the lower price point (6 for $20), and 2 are at the higher price point. This seems to be a miss in marketing, but perhaps they have their reasons. Now onto the star- the cookie. Their chocolate chip have salt on them which is such a great tool to ensure the cookie isn’t overly sweet. The proportion of dough to chocolate chip is perfect. Some cookies are so full of chips/chunks/nuts that you cannot taste the cookie. Well, they got that part right. This is a meticulously balanced cookie with exceptional flavor. I would rank it 9 out of 10, and definitely worth stoping by to try. They have another location on Davis island, which avoids the armature works parking problem.

Our experience at Bake n Babes was amazing! The menu has lots of yummy treats and a variety of everything such as cookies, ice cream, even brownies. At first the pricing is a bit of a sticker shock but after receiving my item you definitely get your money worth. My husband and I got the fruity pebble cookie milkshake and LOVED it (my husband isn't a huge cereal fan but enjoyed this)! The soft serve ice cream that they use for the shake is like no other soft serve we've ever tasted. It was different but a good kind of different. It was sweet but not too sweet, thick & creamy. The shake was 12 dollars but we were able to share the shake and felt full after eating. The shop is definitely busy but the wait time wasn't too long. The customer service was good and the decor of the shop really draws you in. If you're thinking about stopping in please do it is worth it.

Neither here nor there. Overhyped just enough to appease a very easily appeased hipster demographic, this joint is more instagrammable than memorable. Sizeable portion for a steep price, their goods taste a tad overbaked and mass-produced and are largely forgettable some five minutes after-the-fact. Does not hold a candle to any homebaked equivalent, wherein you layer a shortbread or graham crust with oreos and any reasonable brownies. If compared with, say, Levain's for cookies; Glenn's Family Bakery for Florida CBD goods; or DG Doughnuts for Crack Brownies; this one falls more on the poor man's version of Killer Brownies, only with less (hopefully) carcinogenic ingredients and nonsense thrown in. Not bad, not especially good. Middle-of-the-road as middle-of-the-road could be.

  • Mitchell Vaske

Wow. All I can say is wow. If you are someone who has a sweet tooth, like myself, then you have found the right place! My first impression of this delightful bakery was when I was immediately greeted by the lovely employee named Jenna, who patiently went through nearly the entire menu with me, and even included her own personal recommendations. We eventually decided on the regular chocolate chip cookie, which was quite possibly the most delicious food to ever touch my tongue. It was warm, filled with melted chocolate, and simply melted away in my mouth. I will definitely be coming back, and I am sure that anyone else who likes some sweetness in their life will love it as much as I did!

  • Gill Cruise

I ordered the brownie. It was $7.00. So i was expecting a pretty good brownie which is was,and to my surprise it was actually a brownie,cookie, Oreo. But unfortunately it was extremely hard on the outside, like inedible hard. My friend thought that i was exaggerating until he grabbed a knife and tried cutting through it but it made a sound against the brownie because of how hard it was. Other than the outside being hard as a brick. The inside was soft and delicious. I would recommend coating the browning with oil before putting it in so it’s as soft as the inside!!! I also tried the Nutella cookies and it was also very good and unlike the brownie extremely soft on the inside and out.

  • Justin Lewis

We wanted to start the new year off strong as a family and come down to Armature Works for the first time, even though we’ve lived here forever. First stop of the day was Bake’n Babes, our daughter saw a picture of “the works” and had been begging to try it. It was great! Whatever those gold sprinkles were on the top really sealed it for me. The staff was very friendly and was patient while our daughter flipped flopped between “the works” and the cone shaped like a fish (which I’ll be trying sooner than later). Happy New Years and check this place out!!

  • Bayley K

Delicious Desserts! I went on a busy day but still the employees handed out food with great speed. The brownie is good but kinda stale with the multiple layers, the cookie was good but seemed to have some salt on it which was a little odd. The limited October ice cream was pretty, the cupcake was delicious, the fun accessories added to the experience, but I wish they had a little more flavor to the ice cream besides that a great place to visit! But I can't see me buying at this place a lot with the price and the flavor this may be a one place to visit.

  • Lorenzo Hendrix

Me and my girlfriend were taking the dog for a walk when we both agreed that we wanted something sweet. We walked into your shop and was greeted with a smile by Emily and she had endless suggestions. After agreeing on one of your famous brownies she mentioned we could top it off with ice cream which was the perfect duo!! She even took the time to mention that you guys have pup cups so our puppy was able to crave her sweet tooth with us!! I think we’re going to make this a regular thing when we go for walks!!

  • Danielle Pearce

Literally the worst cookies I've ever had. I'm a professional pastry chef, and I didn't think anyone could ruin a chocolate chip cookie...guess I was wrong. These taste like they literally mixed together oil (not butter), a pinch of sugar, baking powder/soda, flour...annnnnd that's basically it. Completely missing ANY flavor whatsoever. I'm throwing them away. Not worth the calories. Not to mention they're completely underbaked...no wonder they have reheating instructions on the packaging...

  • Sherry Burris

If I were review just the Salted Chocalate Chip I would rate a 2 but since I got a Fruity Pebble, I gave it a 3. The Salted CC was undercooked AT BEST, limited salt spinkles and the base cookie recipe tasted like a sugar cookie recipe with choc chips added. Very disappointed. The Fruit Pebbles cookie was same base cookie dough rolled in FP which gave it a great flavor. This wasy 2nd time trying this location. Same disappointment. Stay home and make your own. ‍♀️

  • Jade Curtis

DELICIOUSNESS!!! Super creative desserts and very delicious flavors perfectly baked! We stumbled upon a little gem! We had the Sleazy Brownie, the Nutella Babe Shake and a Cheesecake-filled cookie! All winners!! Robert especially was hilarious and very friendly and sold us on the various desserts! (He needs a raise for sure!!) Also I present an official request to bring a location to Ocala, FL! Thanks for the calories! Well worth it ☺️☺️☺️

  • Valerie Roman

Very nice place employees can be a bit more nice but reminding customers they the only one doing milk shakes makes u feel like u a bother and don't want to make them work. I drove from orlando just because i thought it was a super cute place and because of the pup cup and when placing order that was the 1st thing the girl said. Besides that cookies are thick and rich. Would have brought more but decided to discover what was next door.

  • Isabelle Najjar

My first time in Tampa and was exploring Armature works and stumbled upon Bake n Babes. I can say I will be recommending it to anyone who comes to Tampa! The staff was amazing helping us out deciding what we wanted to order. Monika recommended the sleazy brownie and it was amazing! She was so sweet with answering all the questions we had and giving recommendations on what to get. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

  • Natalie A.

If you have a sweet tooth, this is definitely the place for you. I didn’t order the extravagant drink that they offer but I this time I tried out their fruit pebbles cookies. Honestly, it was a little dry for me. The center was a bit more moist but it was really sweet for my liking. I’m giving four stars because I previously tried their chocolate chip cookie and that was the best cookie I’ve ever had.

  • Mitch Taraschi

I love ice cream, my wife loves brownies. This place has both! Another review says overpriced, but what it fails to mention is how delicious it is. So yeah, more than I want to spend, but worth it. Also, the service I received was not poor, but exceptional. Thank you Emma! My wife thinks you are hilarious and that your attitude added to the wonderful experience that we had.

  • Rachel Campbell

I ordered “the works” which featured a mermaid theme this month. This included soft serve vanilla ice cream with blue and purple sprinkles along with strawberry cookies, pink cotton candy, a vanilla cupcake with strawberry ice cream and a light up narwhal and a dress “ball” mermaid tail. It was certainly a sight to behold but it was just as yummy as it looked!

  • Delilah Mertoğlu

I'm surprised this place has such good reviews. I guess presentation and location is everything. I hate to be mean but the cookies don't taste good at all. They are clearly made with margarine/oil, not a lick of butter. They have a very unpleasant smell and aftertaste. I'm not very picky at all but I am a home baker and there's something very off about these.

  • Tiffany Hart

I had to stop and try what I hear is straight delicious. I picked out the salted chocolate chip CBD cookies and it was soooo moist and simply was like heaven in your mouth.... If your ever at Not sure works please do not hesitate on buying something from this spot I will most definitely be returning …

  • Natasha Doughlin

My granddaughters were so excited about going here. The said they would give it a 2 out of 10 the presentation was horrible. They ordered the Taiyaki ice cream the cone fell apart very soft. The lady was digging in her nose who was making someone else ice cream. I made sure she did not touch my grand kids ice cream. Very disappointed.

  • Chelsea Who

Limited choices. The fruity pebble cookie ice cream sandwich was good but hard to eat and too big. The ice cream is soft serve so it can't be bitten bc the cookie is so thick and hard. It's good like super sugary not cakey type cookie. The oreo cookie brownie was just ok dry for my taste I prefer a gooey brownie. About $20 for both.

  • Nathaly Perez

I had never tried such delicious cookies, the first time I tried them was when a friend gave a bite at school. Then I had to go try them on my own, Alicia was the lady who helped me that day, she really knows how to give good customer service and she has a very warm smile. I left the store with a big smile and a happy stomach.

  • Kate Hazel

This place is cute! Definitely an IG photo op type of place. The softserve didn't taest like anything, the bear cone teasted like old dough that was mix with dish soap. The cookie things was okay but I've had better. I give it up to the cashier thought, should have listened to her and stuck with the milkshakes.

  • Jared Mindek

The first time I went there it was an amazing experience!! And they definitely had crazy flavors of cookies. My favorite is the fruity pebbles one!! I get it every time. Jenna(one of the workers) was very friendly and outgoing! She made my experience 10x better. Keep up the good work baken babes !!!

  • Renee Kar-Johnson

I LOVE cookies!!! Especially warm chocolate chip cookies. Don’t get me wrong, these cookies were yummy but I didn’t love them as much as I thought I would. The market was so cute though, and if you are there and need a sweet treat after I would definitely go :) I liked the Nutella filled ones alot

  • Anthony Baez

I ordered the sleazy brownie and was so excited to try it, but was met with so much disappointment. I am by no means picky but this was the worst dessert I’ve ever had. It was cold, hard, and lacked flavor. It wasn’t only mine that was like this, it was also my girlfriends. So awful.

  • Jordan Porter

This manager is racist! She claimed me and my coworker came up to the counter and demanded free food and didn’t have money and we were aggressive and tried to get free cookies! Do not support this business and the cookies are so soggy! And the ice cream tastes like chemicals!

  • Thomas Robinson

Went here on a hot day looking for something to cool us down. Emily recommended the Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie shake and it was so good! She kept a smile the whole time despite somebody in line being impatient. Definitely will come here again when I visit tampa

  • Pablo da Silva

I had a lovely dessert. Armature Works is an amazing environment, and Bake’n Babes is no different. The chocolate chip babe shake was so good. I’d recommend to anyone who likes Dairy Queen blizzards. Jenna was the one who told me to try it, thank you for the great tip!

  • Itachi Uchia

Sunday I came to Armature Works for the first time. I got some dinner with a friend and was craving a sweet treat. It was hard choosing between a cookie or ice cream, but luckily they had both! Alicia helped me up front. The Fruity Pebble with soft serve was a 10/10.

  • maria g

Visiting from California, came across this gem of a dessert shop. Cookies and soft serve were delicious and thematically fun! Not to mention the customer service, both Nina and SunFlower were extremely helpful and patient as we figured out what we wanted.

  • Susi Martin

I saw this place on Instagram and I said...Wow I need to go there .My experience was really good :) We ordered the Oreo Babe Shake and Taiyaki Cone and I can say that is the best ice cream I ever taste. U need to come here if you are in the zone …

  • Arjun Kaul

Delicious baked goods. I consider myself a chocolate chip connoisseur, and I have to tip my hat and acknowledge the deliciousness they've created here. They even have one baked with CBD oil, so you can relax and ease on into bed shortly thereafter.

  • Ana Carolina Lopes

I went to this place twice and tried two different things and both of them sucked. The brownie was dry and pretty mediocre, and the cookie tasted like cake batter that didn't work. The texture was weird too. It's beyond me why it has a 4.4 stars...

  • Elisa Horton

I do not understand the high ratings to this place. It’s mediocre at best & bland at its worst. It has that commercially prepared taste to the cookies. The cookies are oily as all get up. It’s expensive. Just bake your own - you will be happier.

  • Maria Lawson

This was our first time ever trying the shakes at the armature location and it tasted amazing! Dylan showed us exceptional customer service and helped us pick out what cookies we were in the mood for! We will definitely be coming back soon!

  • Mackenzie Dufresne

I was a first timer at baken babes this week with my bf and it did not disappoint! A nice cashier named Jenna helped me choose the best baked goods a girl could ask for. As I was deciding between the sleazy brownie and a cookie she rocked

  • Brian Lee

Gigantic, fresh, and delicious cookies sure to fill you up! While they were yummy, it can be hard to finish the whole cookie in one sitting. Most of us at the table either shared or took some home as leftovers. They are expensive though -

  • Denise Craigen

This place was recommended to a friend so we all went. With the $10 to park we paid a total of $90.85 for 6 ice cream treats. It was ok but not worth the price. Go to Dairy Queen if you want soft serve, they have a lot more flavor options.

  • Duane Vaske

Heard about this place and I definitely was not disappointed! Great ambience and super friendly staff. Jenna totally brightened my day was just delightful! She had excellent recommendations but looking at all of the tasty options it

  • Jazmin Servin

Prefer this chocolate chip cookie over the one from crumbl. It had the perfect amount of saltiness, crispness, and sweetness! The Nutella stuffed cookie was also tasty. Even warming them up in the microwave we’re just as delicious.

  • Thomas Belanger

Grabbed a few things to sample what they have going on. The fruity pebbles and classic chocolate chip cookies were solid. Also grabbed a sleazy brownie, but there is too much going on for my taste. Overall I think good, not great.

  • Nicki Line

Typically I am not a fan of Nutella buy after tasting them the Nutella cookie at Bake' n Babes I am now a fan. I must Robert Bernhardt for recommending this treat. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and very polite.

  • Ray

I came for a birthday Shamrock shake; with the works, sparklers and all. It was photo worthy and definitely an experience. Concept was top notch but my cake was just mediocre and I was really looking forward to the cake.

  • Reviews By Nitra

Delicious cookies! Went on a Saturday around 5pm and the line was quick. We did find some seats but that place is busy. Wowza. Got the Nutella filled cookie and a fruity pebble. Highly recommend the fruity pebble!

  • Shaylene Lora

I recently went to Bake’n Babes and the service was amazing, Emily was awesome and helped me and I got everything I asked for she was the best and the sweets were amazing loved my milkshake definitely coming back!

  • Arjun Shenoy

We tried the works. The quality and the quantity was good. Wish they had some other flavors in between instead of just vanilla. But it was a fun experience. It’s 20$+tax and they make a different one every month.

  • Penny T

Recently moved out to Tampa and in search of a good consistent cookie spot. I like my cookies warm and chunky. Their chocolate chip does it for me everytime. Not Levain but best cookie in Tampa I've had thus far

  • Babby Momo

I went to Bake & Babes last night and was served by a wonderful young lady by the name of Alicia. She was very helpful, knowledgeable, and pleasant. If you have a sweet tooth Bake & Babes is the place to go!!

Any time I’m in Tampa again I’ll be sure to stop by at the Inside Armature Works location. Alicia was great and made sure I got a pup cup for my pug. Fruity Pebbles for the win!

  • Amanda Moss

I waited for a fresh taiyaki shell and it was absolutely worth it. Fresh, delicious and not too sweet. I didn’t try their cookies but everyone in line was raving about them!

  • selina pfuner

Emily is such a saint and gave me the best advice for which cookie I was craving! I really liked chocolate so she recommended the Nutella cookie and it was so good.
