I was very surprised to find this place hidden off the main drag. We were looking for some dessert after eating and stubbled on The Fat Donkey. At first I was expecting to get price gauged like every other place in town and was surprised that for $ 3.25 a single scoop I got plenty of ice cream. I had the coffee on a sugar cone, it was great, the ice cream reminded me of hand made and the cone was very fresh. The only downside is limited parking and only outside seating.

Love it the ice cream flavors are amazing and there are plenty of unique flavors. I ran into a family from London that said they were back from Orlando to get some donkey.

By far the best real ice cream with real fruits in the strawberry. Great place hidden off the main drag.

This was a first time for us. It was amazing and will definitely be a regular place we go for a treat!!! I had the zonkey with vanilla/​raspberry sorbet and my daughter had rainbow ice with vanilla ice cream, both were amazing.

They have really good desserts, depending on what you get.
My favorite used to be the s’mores jar, however, they got rid of them and when they brought them back they were not the same. The graham cracker is chalky, the chocolate for the middle part used to be like a chocolate cake and now it looks like and tastes like stale brownies… Not sure what happened but have been disappointed the last two times I came. :(

Stopped by for dessert after grabbing dinner a few blocks away. One person got a chocchipcookie-​on-​a-​Oreo-​on-​a-​brownie base, warmed up and with choice of ice cream flavor on top. The warm base was an extremely delicious combo, surpassingly never seen at other ice cream places before. Overall, great ice cream creations for the price.

Everything was so good! Would definitely come again i was just disappointed they were out of what i wanted and couldn’t put chocolate ice cream with the cookie sundaes. I ended up w the caramel turtle Sunday baked in a mason jar ! it was awesome ! Will be back!

This is one of the neatest little ice cream places I’ve even been to. The ice cream and other treats are so unique.
Its location is a sunny one and you’d wish they’d have more shade.
One scoop is enough, believe me. If you get more, it’ll probably melt before you get to it.

Wow, this place did not disappoint. After having an awesome lunch at the tiny turtle, we walked ten feet to this place and opted for dessert. I’d seen on Facebook this place does waffle ice cream sandwiches and was eager to try one. Decided on a warm churro chocolate chip cookie dough sandwich and a mint chocolate chip milkshake. Both were amazing, I highly recommend the churro sandwich! Don’t expect it to stay in one solid piece but that’s okay, it turns into this crunchy cinnamon sweet creamy bite. We’ll be coming back for a waffle one next time around.

Cool and unique place. A little pricey with long lines but I would go back again. The desserts were worth it for sure.

This place is awesome! Open late and good ice cream. Had a craving for ice cream and came here. They have some awesome flavors and original cone flavor like chocolate chip or pretzel. I ordered the oreo dessert in a mason jar and my husband ordered the chocolate chip cheesecake ice cream sandwich and I liked his way more then mine. Mine was still pretty tasty but for price wise and taste wise; hand down ice cream sandwich wins. We got our ice cream fast even with them being busy.

Best and largest ice cream sandwich I’ve ever had. Great stop on a hot day! Family had regular scoops, a shake and the awesome gluten-​free coconut chocolate ice cream sandwich. The sandwich is the size of a football and can feed all your friends. Go, now.

Counter service ice cream done well with a few desserts baked in the mason jars. They also have gummy bear pops and some delicious flavors for ice cream. The line was a bit long with only one person working so that could have been a little better.

Yummy dessert spot! Sweet girl working. Had the Jack smasher… waffle cone with ice cream, whole slice of pie, strawberries and whipped cream. Husband had a chocolate shake, which he liked. Walk up counter no seating.

To me, its just a normal ice cream place. And maybe because I had just a normal vanilla ice cream with a waffle cone. But i thought the prices were very high. I probably wouldn’t go back no time soon.

Thank you so much to all the Unilocalers for suggesting this little place!!! It’s such a little
Gem in cocoa beach. We had lunch at the tiny turtle went to burn off the calories at the beach then headed here for a treat and my goodness this place does not disappoint!!! We had ice cream which was ok but the true hero here are the desert jars!
We got the s’mores jar! It was graham cracker, chocolate cake and warm marshmallow baked into a mason jar! It was sooo good and describing it with words does it absolutely noooo judgement! Make sure you stop by!

Let me just say one thing… DELICIOUS!
If you come to this place, I beg you to get the s’mores in a jar! Prices are not too bad, but affordable. The desserts in a jar is just amazing. If you come here I definitely recommend you try one of the dessert jars. Service was amazing and I would come back any day!
