    Fatty Daddy's in downtown Phoenix is a cute little ice cream shop that isn't trying to be anything fancy, and that's what makes it so charming. If you're looking for a solid and tasty scoop of ice cream, this is your place. Whether you want to go for a classic flavor or something more adventurous, the quality and taste hit the mark every time. They have seating inside & the safe is friendly. Check it out next time you're in the area!!

    Hong Kong Egg Waffle w/ Lavender Vanilla Ice Cream Chocolate Syrup
    John S.

    HONG KONG EGG WAFFLE SERVED HERE!!!!!! Did someone say Ice Cream Social? Impression- First time trying this place out. Light rain outside is the best time to come here. Cold ice cream with a hot latte sounds good to me. They close late at 9:30 pm. Hot Latte- Good mild coffee. Possibly Costa Rica, Guatemala, or Honduras origin. Choice of sugar syrup or sugar packet. Lavender Vanilla Ice Cream- It's really good. Made in-house. I tried a sample of Banana P.B. Chip is going to be my new favorite option here. Hong Kong Egg Waffle- Why get a waffle cone or waffle bowl when you can make an egg waffle ice cream sandwich in a cup? I don't have to go far to have this treat!! Great job! Friendly young woman very helpful. I love how close this place is to many choices to eat at Row Row. You can't miss this place!!!

    This place is adorable! I stumbled upon this place after yoga on a hot Arizona day (117 degrees out) and the owner was so sweet. She helped with many recommendations, answered all questions, and allowed me to sample until I made a decision. There were so many delicious options. Right now they have a Lavender vanilla flavor and she is HEAVENLY. I got the egg waffle and 2 flavors and it was good. The egg waffle comes out fresh and warm (you have to wait about 10 mins for it) so my only concern was that the waffle was melting my ice cream so I had to eat it quick. It also seemed like the waffle could've cooked a little longer cause the inside was very soft and mushy, but I wasnt sure if it was supposed to be like that. Overall love this place though, they made all their ice cream in house, and have lots of drink options too.

    Depressing location. The ladies clearly did not enjoy their job. There's no background music so it was just a blah environment, like it sucked your energy. The blase attitude from the two staff members didn't help either. It was not welcoming or anything. The roasted marshmallow topping is a nice touch though and I'm not even a big fan of marshmallows. Ice cream is average. Not worth the place to satisfy your sweet tooth.

    Came here on a Sunday. We each had a scoop of ice cream, in a cup, for $12.95. They have some toppings options and cone options, but nothing that grabbed my eye. I did the salted caramel and i didn't taste Carmel, it was just very sweet. My dad got the coconut mango. We had initially planned to sit down inside. But the tables and chairs against the window were clearly dirty and sticky and needed to be cleaned. So we took it to go.

    Fatty Daddy's Almost Famous Cookie Cup - strawberry cheesecake ice cream with vanilla macaroon
    Danielle P.

    Hands down our favorite ice cream shop in the valley! You absolutely have to try their cookie cup. All of the ice cream is made fresh with great ingredients, marshmallows and macaroons are made from scratch, and it's the best combo! Both locations are great and the ambiance is always inviting and comfortable. I am so surprised to see so many 4 star reviews. We drive from Ahwatukee to both of their locations all the time because it really is the best. Be sure to ask whomever is working for samples so you don't get a weird combo.. some of our favorites are the strawberry cheesecake, vanilla lavender, fruity pebbles, and birthday cake flavors.

    cookies and cream, strawberry

    I wanted explore some of the downtown options for ice cream and found this store tucked away on Roosevelt Street next to the Union @ Roosevelt apartment complex. There are several street parking spots and a private parking garage for Union @ Roosevelt. If you park in the garage for longer than ~15 minutes, then you do have to pay or get a validation card from the cashier, which they ran out of when I visited (the least to say, parking can be kind of a pain). Aside from that, the inside of the store is clean with limited indoor seating, and the staff member who helped me was friendly and helpful. I got the cookies and cream as well as the strawberry ice cream flavors. The cookies and cream flavor was not my favorite, as it tasted store-bought. The strawberry was really good, tasted strongly of strawberries, and didn't taste artificial at all. Overall, I would be fine with coming back to try other flavors, but it doesn't strike me yet as a go-to spot to satisfy my sweet tooth.

    This place is just ok. They don't have a very large selection of flavors. But they do have some unique flavors that taste good. The line always goes super slow and the prices are kind of high per scoop. Inside is very white and there is not a lot of ambiance and nothing to explain the name Fatty Daddy's. Also, don't order boba if there is a line. They will continue to help the other people ordering ice cream before they go back and make your boba tea.

    I took the family down to check out a taco place & they said they wanted some ice cream. After searching something nearby we happened upon Fatty Daddy's. It was a bit hard to find at first because parking isn't the easiest- probably more convenient for people in walking distance. The menu is hand written in chalk and a bit confusing. They don't have all the flavors of the macaroons listed so that was hard to choose. But over all the choices were good and best of all the kids enjoyed it.

    Peanut butter (good), and banana (ok)
    Kris L.

    I was really looking forward to an ice cream shop in this location, but unfortunately the gelato was just OK, kind of on the icy side which is fine with me, but very overpriced at $8 for two small scoops that were more like a single. It would be almost half that at two other shops in walking distance. I thought the peanut butter had a good flavor but the banana needed more fruit flavor and there was no atmosphere inside and no outside tables. Also, about an hour after finishing I had a lingering sour milk taste. I noticed that after each scoop, the server would put the scoop in a little tub of water with other scoops. Over the course of a day, that room temperature water with bits of ice cream in it is going to go bad. She did wash her hands prior to serving me. Hopefully they will change their cleaning practices, drop the price to be competitive and get some outside tables, we need more local businesses in the neighborhood.

    Stopped in here to grab a scoop of ice cream after leaving First Friday last week. Cute little place with lots of flavors/toppings and some unique offerings. I just ordered a waffle cone with caramel pecan ice cream. The lady working either forgot or didn't hear me say I wanted a cone so it came in a cup. I knew they were getting ready to close so I just said it was fine and started to eat my ice cream. She then came back to hand me a cone while I was sitting down. While it was a nice gesture it was awkward because then I attempted to scoop the ice cream into my cone at the table and it made a mess. Not sure that I would make a trip to go back there but if I did for some reason I would try something else altogether or another flavor.

    Fruity pebbles and cotton candy with a cone, which barely made it upstairs
    Kelsey A.

    I really do love the flavors but the price is the downfall. For the amount you get I could go to the grocery store and buy a quart of a good kind or pint of a fancy brand for the price of fatty daddy's. It has always been expensive. I've suggested several times to do rewards cards as incentive but so far I haven't seen any. I'm really fond of the cotton candy, strawberry cheesecake, fruity pebbles, rocky road and the cookie dough. I always get the same ones. There are quite a few fruit options too but I love the kid flavors! The waffle cones are tasty too. So fresh, crispy and vanilla-y. Like eating a really yummy fortune cookie in a different form.

    I saw this place on Pinterest and I had to try it while visiting Phoenix for a baseball game. Well what I can say is my cookie cup looked more plain than what I saw. I thought it was pretty steep paying $10 for a single scoop. It honestly was not the greatest and not what I expected

    Fatty Daddy Cookie Cups - overall these were unremarkable and they are small portions for the price.

There isn't any indoor seating, so this is more of a grab-your-ice-cream-and-go kind of place. After being out in the Arizona heat all day, we didn't mind one bit! My friend got a scoop of peanut butter pecan in a pretzel cone, which I thought was such a unique combination. She said it was really tasty, and I have to admit the pretzel cone definitely caught my attention. My daughter went with peanut butter ice cream in a waffle cone. The waffle cones are made homemade right there, and they also make their cookies in-house, which made everything feel extra special. I ordered a salted caramel sundae with butter pecan ice cream, and let me tell you--it was amazing! It was the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and creamy. My sundae also came with a cookie, so of course I had to try it, and it was so good. You could definitely tell it was freshly made.

What a great custom menu with lots of creative choices for ice-cream, ice-cream sandwiches, shake and floats, coffee and coffee desserts. Custom rotating flavors that we tried and sampled as we decided. Love how there's a secret back entrance to the ice cream parlor from Windsor Cocktail Bar next door. This is part of a cluster of good restaurants of different types along Central Avenue in Uptown. Parking available right in front of the entrance as well as around back in a private parking lot. I was so tempted by several items on the menu, but since I had just had a large lunch, I chose to try a single scoop of the Vietnamese coffee ice cream. So delicious and I loved the tiny specks of coffee. Hubs got a double scoop of strawberry ice cream, and my son got a strawberry shake. We all really enjoyed the interior and decor of the ice cream shop and the high-quality and good flavors of the ice cream. Service is really great here. The ladies were really working hard and going as fast as they could, and it didn't look easy scooping the large scoops of frozen hard ice cream. There was a line out the door on the Saturday afternoon that we showed up that moved quickly.

Knowing that they're vegan, I thought non-dairy milk would be included. Nowhere was I able to find which milk was included in the price- so I asked for oat milk. I was charged NINTEY CENTS (.90) for an upcharge. Rather than saying oh it comes with soy milk, or hey it's a .90 cent upcharge, the barista just added it on no questions asked. I had reviewed the menu online and in the extras it does not include oat milk, which is why I assumed it came with it. My coffee ultimately came out to $9.16. What a joke. I will definitely not be coming back here for anything besides ice cream from here on out and even that is a hard maybe. I wish more places had pricing integrity- their website doesn't reflect it and neither did the barista. *edit to add the coffee is extremely sweet and milky, tastes more like sweet milk than a latte :(

Upon our arrival, we were accommodated immediately and seated without any delay. The parlor features a wonderful, nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of the late 1900s. Its menu is remarkably expansive, offering an impressive variety of options that goes well beyond what one might typically expect from a traditional dessert establishment. The service we received was patient and polite. While one of our table's orders was initially overlooked, the staff corrected the mistake instantly as soon as we brought it to our server's attention. As the name implies, the menu leans heavily into decadent, sweet treats; those looking for lighter or tart options like yogurt variations will find limited choices, but the indulgent selections are perfect for traditional dessert lovers. The surrounding neighborhood adds significantly to the appeal, offering an excellent Old Town atmosphere filled with art galleries, historic shops, and artifacts. If you are visiting the nearby Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA), enjoying dinner in the area, or simply taking an evening walk, I highly recommend stopping by the Sugar Bowl for its unique historical charm and experience.
