What We Ordered * Three scoops of butter pecan ice cream * One scoop of vanilla ice cream in a cup, topped with sprinkles Our Thoughts The ice cream was excellent--creamy, flavorful, and packed with plenty of pecans in the butter pecan. I also loved the tables out front, which added to the charm and made the visit feel even more inviting. If you have a sweet tooth, The Fudge Factory is worth a stop. I give it five stars for its amazing selection and delicious, creamy ice cream. Gulf Coast Terry

Although a fairly large place, they didn't have indoor seating but they did have elevated outdoor seating along Ocean Blvd. I counted roughly 30 different tubs of ice cream and probably some sherbert. The flavor I selected was their Sea-Salt Chocolate Caramel. Good choice. The ice cream was quite chocolaty with pieces of chocolate caramel candy mixed in. My serving size for 1 scoop was also generous. The ice cream was delicious. The appearance of the place could have been more appealing, more put together.

They had lots of flavors, and the service was appreciated. I had a small cup of Key Lime Pie and spumoni. It was a generous cup for a small. Both flavors were very fulfilling. I preferred the spumoni as I enjoyed the combination of flavors. The Key Lime Pie could have contained a little more of the pie crust flavoring. I also tried the brown sugar cinnamon and chocolate brownie with a marshmallow meringue. The brown sugar cinnamon was my favorite flavor. It was a great blend of brown sugar and cinnamon. It was superb. The chocolate brownie was good too, but I did not like the marshmallow meringue as it was a little overpowerful with the ice cream. Will I go back? I would.
