I'm honestly not an ice cream person... or at least I wasn't until I found Fat Batter. The first time I took my son there, my immediate thought was, "What kind of voodoo is this?" The ice cream was unlike anything I'd ever tasted. It's impossibly creamy, perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and somehow just... blissful. The only way I can describe it is that it tastes like what I'd imagine ice cream in heaven would taste like. Then I got to know the family who owns Fat Batter, and somehow they exceeded the ice cream. They are some of the kindest, most welcoming, professional, and genuinely wonderful people you'll ever meet. They've created something so much bigger than an ice cream shop--they've created a community. (And of course, I have to mention their amazing dogs, Thea and Thor, who is part of the charm too!) Sometimes I stop by even when I'm not planning to get ice cream because I love the atmosphere. It's one of those rare places where neighbors strike up conversations, visitors become regulars, and everyone feels welcome. They also use organic sugar, and I truly think it makes a difference. The flavors are incredibly clean, rich, and never overpoweringly sweet. My favorites? Pistachio Crunch, Lavender Haze, Gooey James Brownie, Pistoffee (the pistachio ice cream with the best toffee I've ever tasted), Banana Bourbon, and Bourbon Pecan. Honestly, I've never had a flavor I didn't love. Hence the quandary, I find myself in when I frequent Fat Batter far too often. One of the coolest things they offer is what they creatively call an "ice cream flight"--six different flavors served in an egg carton so you can sample a little of everything. It's genius and perfect if you're as indecisive as I am! They also sell pints, but they're limited to whichever flavors are available at the time. My advice? Do yourself a favor and order a double scoop in one of their homemade waffle cones. You can thank me later. If you live nearby, you're dang lucky. If you don't, it's absolutely worth the drive. Fat Batter isn't just my favorite ice cream shop--it's one of my favorite places, period. read more

We did a family outing to Fat Batter on a Sunday night. There was no wait when we arrived but as we were finishing up three people came up. I am diary free so I settled for the only option they had which was Agua Fresca which was essential a berry sorbet. I would love if they had a dairy free ice cream option like other scoop places do. Everyone else got strawberry fields, pistoffee, and Lavendar haze. My husband ordered two scoop - one of pistoffee and one of that's amore but they accidentally gave him Sebastian Joe. My husband didn't say anything, he loves all ice cream so he just ate it. When the scooper realized he messed up on my husband's order he brought him a scoop of the That's Amore which we all agreed was by far the best flavor on the menu right now! It was very nice and we appreciated if but was not necessary. If we are in the area again, we may stop to check out new flavors. read more

Delicious ice cream with cool flavors! The ice cream is dense, rich, and creamy. They let you sample their flavors and they're super friendly. Loved the Gooey James Brownie and bought a pint of it. They sell scoops out of the trailer and pints out of the house. There is very limited seating on the porch and outside the house. Street parking only so hopefully you get lucky but it's not impossible to find a spot. read more

This ice cream was so good! So creamy and full of flavor. Also a pulse that they are open until 1am! read more

Delicious ice cream, and very unique flavors. However, $12 for two tiny scoops in a tiny cup is way too expensive. I understand that it's small batch craft, and I love supporting small businesses, but that's just not affordable in this economy. I'd rather go to Little Man and get a pint of ice cream for $9 that's just as comparable. read more

Truly one of the best ice creams I've ever tasted. 3/4 of our party opted for the pistachio and it was truly incredible - very pistachio forward, creamy and not overly rich or sweet. The owner is the nicest guy. The dutch chocolate flavor (I forget the name) was also delicious. They have a great Pyrenees who will happily greet you as well. She's an angel. This place is fantastic! Don't walk - run! read more

Had to pick up Pizza on SoBo, looking at the map, saw this ice cream shop about another 3.5 blocks down. Left for the take-out early, arrived at the Fat Batter door. Only to be warmly greeted by Theodora. That dog LOVES her job. Deana & Dustin the proprietors were buzzing around, and provided me with samples. They are sooooo into the art and method-madness of their blends. And.....ahem....cough...my standards were pre-set to HIGH, as we spent a week in Italy last October. Yes....the gelato over there was amazing. So......there simply ARE NO WRONG flavors to choose from. They have their recipe blends and balanced flavor mixes down pat. I thought I would love the Lavender Haze and Lemony Sniketts the most - however, the Aqua Fresca Jamaica stole my palette, my heart, my soul and my libido. I guaran-damn-tee you have NEVER tasted anything like this hibiscus & mandalorian orange sorbet EVER in your life. Post back here if a "nay"....only if thou dare! Friday is rapidly approaching. Cannot wait to try 4 new ones and.....a HUGE pint of the Aqua Fresca, yet again. I did share w/them a 'flavor board' pic from our Fave! Pisa gelato shop. Dustin took note so.......expect some new flavors, as I believe he was inspired.... read more

My husband and I randomly stumbled on Fat Batter after dinner at Post Chicken & Beer. We were already full, but it was date night, the shop was less than a mile away, and we figured... why not? Best impulsive decision ever. It was a slower time of night so we got to try several flavors and chat with the owners. They were super knowledgeable about which flavors were gluten-free, which I really appreciated. But honestly, I'm still lamenting at how creamy and authentic the flavors were (I'm writing this review about a week after visiting them). For context: I love strawberries but hate strawberry-flavored anything. When they offered me a sample of their strawberry, I almost passed. I'm so glad I didn't. I cannot stop thinking about it. It's hands-down the best ice cream I've ever had in my life. Not exaggerating. It tastes like actual fresh strawberries and cream with crunchy flavor bursts. Sooooo good. We went back again with my teenage daughter and after trying the usual "kid" flavors (anything with cookies and marshmallows) she fell in love with the lavender. They explained they actually steep real lavender leaves on prem!! You can taste the difference. It's subtle, floral, and not perfumey at all. She also brought home the pistachio. It tastes as if they were just roasted - such a rich and amazing flavor. Everything we tried was unbelievably creamy and rich without being heavy. Even though we live about 30 minutes away, it's 100% worth the drive. We'll absolutely be back. read more

We stopped by later on Sunday night, and the owners were fantastic. They let us try a sample of virtually everything on the menu. We ate our ice cream on their cozy couch and pet their sweet pups, Theodora and Thor. The ice cream was delicious. Everything we tried was incredible, but we narrowed it down to a Lavender honey half pint and a brownie half pint. If I could give these 100 stars, I would. Excellent treats! read more

The best ice cream ever! We're not from the area but definitely worth the stop. It's heaven on earth good! I keep debating having her ship us ice cream cause it's that good! I'll be dreaming of ube tonight! read more

OMG!! This is my first time trying this place and the lady working was incredibly friendly. Her two sweet pups came out to greet me while she gave me samples. They're undergoing renovations but will be back up as normal in a few months. You can still order take out. I will absolutely be back. The lemony snicketts and the good morning Vietnam are increíble!! I'm eating the lemony snicketts in my car saying "OMG" over and over again. This hit every craving I've had today. Thank you! read more

We stumbled upon the Fat Batter truck yesterday while on a walk and tried the James Brownie ice cream. It was decadent! My boyfriend and I shared a scoop, and it was enough because it was soooo creamy and rich (though I still wanted more after it was finished). Also, the owners were super nice and even gave our dog a little scoop of vanilla - I tried a bite of that too, and it was equally as good as the James Brownie. We live in the neighborhood and usually go to Sweet Cow, but this place is better!!!!!!!!! We'll be coming back! read more

Excellent! Loved the lavender haze--delicious and truly the creamiest ice cream I've ever had.

Ice cream is so good might be the best ice cream I've tasted and the. They are super polite and very welcoming.

Fat Batter is the tastiest and most iconic ice cream experience I've had in Denver. Diana and Dustin, Thea and Thor are consummate hosts. I wanted to take home a pint of everything we tried, but we went with Pistachio and That's Amore. can't wait to return! read more

Had to update with a note- The Sweet Caroline flavor is unreal. Maybe my favorite ice cream flavor ever.

Had a great experience when I stumbled upon this unique ice cream store. The honor system is such a fun concept to purchase a pint until the full fledged shop is open for business. Amazing flavors! I'll be back. read more
