In addition to that, the owners at The Fat Donkey were super generous and treated my family going through a hard emotional time and having a special meal together to ice cream for dessert. Receiving kindness and generosity from strangers and this business warmed my whole family's hearts. Please support this kind business. Not only is the ice cream thick, creamy, and generously portioned, but the owners are kind and deserving of your business.

I decided on one scoop of rocky road in a cup. There are many flavors so it can be hard to narrow down! I enjoyed rocky road though. They do also offer many classic options like banana split sundaes and milkshakes. There is lots of seating and it's a great spot for families! I definitely see this place being our staple ice cream spot whenever we're in the Cocoa area .

But I had fallen in love with ice cream from Wisconsin's Chocolate Shoppe, and I learned Rockin Retro served their ice cream! (Chocolate Shoppe supplies independent ice cream shops across the country, including places near my home in California.). Since Rockin Retro was a reasonable drive from my brother's Florida house, we had to stop by here one evening while in Cocoa Beach. This place is amazing! Love the retro vibe: jukebox, Elvis, vintage posters, 50s style booths. And of course the super premium Chocolate Shoppe ice cream! 24 flavors to choose from - there is something here for everyone. My brother got his favorite Iced latte Da, and I I found something I hadn't tried before, Munchie Madness. It's described as "sweet cake batter ice cream with a salted caramel ripple plus Oreos, M&M pieces and peanut butter cups. Wow, it was good. We took our time savoring each bite. If you love ice cream this is the place for you!

On my recent cruise, we stopped at Cape Canaveral. I only had two stops on my agenda, Coco Beach…read moreand this cute little shop I read about serving some of the best key lime pies in Florida. After a sunny day at the beach, our group of eight walked to this shop and decided on buying a whole pie for $18 instead of two slices at $5 a pop. Certainly the better deal, but we also didn't want to regret later for not ordering enough. Well, it was a very good decision. We devoured the whole pie in one sitting like a bunch of starving hyenas seeing food for the first time in weeks. There was not a crumb left by the time we finished. The pie was as great as they say, and definitely one of the best I ever had. Just the right amount sour and tartness without being overly sweet. If I were to nitpick, then I would like a slightly thicker graham cracker crust. Not sure when I'll come back to Cape Canaveral again. However, if I do, this may have become stop number one on my list. You can find beaches everywhere, but an excellent key lime pies is a treasure you rarely discover.

Some of the best places were the places we didn't even plan on stopping by, like this place. We…read morejust happened to stumble onto this little gem of a shop after visiting Ron Jon's main shop across the street. The word "ice cream" caught my eye, and even if it was late February, the weather was warm, which is strange, given a week prior to our arrival, it was freezing cold, so ice cream it was. There was a little line in the store, with only one man scooping ice cream for a bunch of people waiting (who was also the cashier). It was funny to see how people would copy each other with choosing the flavor; the lady in front said "sweet cream" flavor, and each successive person behind her said the same thing, even if they were not with her. I stuck to my guns and got the Key Lime Pie Ice cream, which was a great choice! Sweet, creamy and tangy, all the right combo! They also have candies, salt water taffies of all flavors, beer, alligator jerky, Tortuga rum cakes, key lime pies, a huge wall of hot sauces, and gifts. I ended up walking out with a bottle of hot sauce and orange blossom perfume roller ball, which was very nice. Prices were reasonable given this is tourist-town.

They have iPads set up throughout the food hall that you can order from. On the first day, we ordered the Orange Creamsicle with condensed milk, and it was heavenly. The shaved ice was incredibly light and fluffy, and the flavor had the perfect balance of orange and cream. It was so good we went back the very next day. Day two, we tried the Strawberry Shortcake. The flavor itself was delicious, but the crushed graham crackers gave it a slightly dry texture that wasn't our favorite. Still tasty, just not as magical as the Orange Creamsicle. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Cocoa Beach. Vampire Penguin is such a fun treat stop, and that Orange Creamsicle alone is worth the trip!

I settled on a combination of Coffee and Moose Tracks - and it was amazing! My wife vaguely remember having something with "Gator" in the name, very chocolatey, and combined with a caramel swirl flavor. She really liked them. A cozy eating corner is in the front of the store, where we sat slowly savoring our choices. Great place - we will have to return next visit!

We finally gave in and tried the local ice cream landmark shaped like a giant ice cream cone…read more Apparently everyone else in town had the same idea. At 8:30 PM there was still a line. Not a "something must be wrong" line. A "we willingly stand here because ice cream is involved" line. My son ordered what can only be described as an engineering marvel: chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone dipped in chocolate and then rolled in either Butterfinger, Heath, or some other delicious candy-coated masterpiece. I honestly lost track somewhere between "dipped" and "rolled." It looked less like an ice cream cone and more like a dare. My daughter got a twist cone rolled in Heath pieces and was equally thrilled. Both kids loved their treats, which is a pretty solid endorsement considering teenagers treat compliments like they're being charged by the word. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, there were plenty of benches to sit and enjoy your sugar-induced happiness, and they even have a rewards program. Because apparently they know we'll be back. We're locals, not tourists, and this place is ALWAYS busy. After our first visit, I finally understand why. If you see me standing in that line again, mind your business.

With impending weather, I had hoped to get a small cone. Despite sprinkling rain, the staff chose to prioritize the cars in the drive through, completing multiple car orders. These cars had arrived well after I did. It started pouring rain, yet instead of taking my order (I was the only one left) and finishing orders for the five people standing outside, the staff continued to choose to prioritize the cars in the drive through. I left without ice cream, thoroughly soaked. Surely, the five people outside continued waiting in the pouring rain for another 5min. I've been here once before and they were quick to accommodate a large group and fulfill orders. Their soft serve is decent, the draw being the close proximity to Jetty Beach.
