Cream Crunch Bringing Ice Cream And Desserts To Zephyrhills

Cream Crunch, a new dessert shop focused on ice cream and sweet treats, is planning to open early next year in Zephyrhills. Owner Alex Patel told Business Debut he is targeting a February 1, 2026, opening at 38365 County Road 54, Zephyrhills, FL 33542.

Located directly across from Zephyrhills High School, Cream Crunch is designed to be an easy stop for students, families and anyone with a sweet tooth looking for a fun place to hang out.

What to Expect

Cream Crunch is built around the idea of being a one-stop dessert destination. Patel said the shop will carry more than 25 scoops of ice cream flavors, including some made in-house.

Guests can also expect rolled ice cream made from scratch, with more than 50 flavor options planned. The menu will also include waffles, crepes and rotating dessert items that change to keep up with trends, Patel told Business Debut.

Menu and Vision

Beyond ice cream, Cream Crunch will offer cheesecakes, milkshakes and smoothies, along with hot drinks. Patel said the goal is to give customers plenty of choices, whether they want something quick after school or a longer visit with friends.

The space will feature about 20 seats, including tables and high-top seating, along with board games available for guests. “It’s right across from the high school,” Patel said, noting that the layout and games are meant to create a welcoming environment for younger customers.

Opening Timeline

Patel said the team is projecting a February 1, 2026, opening, though that timeline could shift as final preparations continue.

Hours

Cream Crunch plans to open daily at 11 a.m. Weekday hours are expected to run until midnight, with weekend hours potentially extending until 2 a.m., depending on traffic and demand.
