Tasti D- Lite (Miami Beach)
***** Tasti D- Lite, 821 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, Florida 33139 (305) 532-6855.
Tasti D- Lite is a “hole in the wall” take-out joint located in Miami Beach…what exactly it sells, I don’t know…except that it is called Tasti D- Lite. The best way to explain the “product” is that when you are eating it, it looks and tastes and feels just like the soft serve stuff that Dairy Queen and Carvel make…Tasti D- Lite has something like 100 “revolving” flavors and an ounce of the “whatever-it-is” only has 14-17 calories. The joint also has tons of “toppings” that you can add to the soft-serve.
Tasti D- Lite which has been around since 1987, has tons of stores in New York and New Jersey, but for right now, there is only one joint in South Florida. Take a look at Tasti D- Lite’s website at www.tastidlite.com for flavors/locations/details.
Last night, I had a Dutch Chocolate cone…I have to tell you, that this stuff is absolutely delicious and if it really is as low-calorie as it claims to be… it’s every dieter’s dream come true. Just so you know, a couple of these cones (one of which had a topping added) ran close to 10 bucks. For right now, I am going to blame the “South Beach” location for the high-price… Based on the fact that Tasti D- Lite recently announced a very aggressive franchise program, I expect to see other South Florida locations in the near future…and my money says that the soft-serve will be cheaper outside of the South Beach area.
Anyway…Tasti D- Lite is terrific. It is absolutely delicious.
The joint in South Beach is open Monday-Thursday 11am-11pm…Friday-Saturday 11am-1am…Sunday 11am-midnight.
This past Sunday I attended the Franchise Show in Miami at the Convention Center. Tasti had a booth and was giving away free samples of its vanilla/chocolate twist. Absolutely awful. No taste at all. If this what they are selling in their stores, they are dead meat because it is bad news.
they recently opened a new outlet in boynton beach. it has been open about 1 week. my wife and i both had small cups of dutch chocolate. delicious. the big problem here around $3.50 a small cup. bet you this place fails. too expensive.
gs, tried it, tastes great, tooooooooo costly.
I was in the Boynton store. Very good chocolate cone. Tastes just like Dairy Queen soft serve. Terrible spot. Very expensive. This location won’t last more than 6 months or for as long as the landlord gave them cheap starter rent.
was in boynton stur, like some one said before tastes like carvel. really liked it. heard a new store just opened in boca.
i was at new boca store today. delicious.
low calorie.
better than the all of these self serve yogurt places combined.
I also tried new boca store. found the “ice cream” too light for me. it seems to be nothing but air. no match for real carvel or dairy queen. maybe if you add chocolate sprinkles or something but plain chocolate was too boring.
boca store has great carvel like product
tried boca this evening. refreshing low cal. product.
Boca store, very poor location, delicious chocolate cone.
tastes just like carvel with virtually no calories. love it.
tried the boca store, very good chocolate,
boca loc. very busy last nite. loved the chocolate. tastes like dairy queen without the caories.
Had the chocolate in Boca today. No taste whatsover.
First time trying in NYC. Delicious.
Was in the old Crocker Center and had a chocolate cone. Great product. cant believe its so low in calories.
Out of Business in Boca.
