"Fat Cat started by making delicious homemade ice cream in the evenings and on the weekends in a shared commercial kitchen. They now have a fully operational ice cream heaven set right in the Heights. Creatively making ice cream with whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, egg yolks, and only the finest flavorings. Their milk and heavy cream come from Texas dairy farmers Mill-King Creamery in McGregor, Texas, and their eggs are delivered twice a week by Ole Dad Farms. Their good friends at The Barry Farm bring them figs, citrus, and other fresh ingredients they put in their ice cream. Fat Cat's ice cream pints and single-serve packages are made of leftover wheat straw and are compostable. They also use spoons made of environmentally friendly materials such as bio-plastics and cornstarch. Our advise to you is to double up on a scoop and waffle cone. What are you waiting for?" - Manready Mercantile
"Tucked in Houston’s Stomping Grounds, Fat Cat scoops some of the city’s creamiest and most flavorful scoops. Staple flavors like the Cat’s Meow Mexican vanilla and the coffee and cream, made with beans from Houston’s Amaya roasters, will have you double-backing for more. But don’t be afraid to venture out. Its rotation of creative flavors and different vehicles to try them — on cones, in shakes, or ice cream sandwiches — is a big part of what keeps the Fat experience exciting. Fun fact: there’s now a location in Hobby Airport, which means you can get a scoop before you board." - Brianna Griff
"A Houston-based ice cream shop that opened an airport outpost during the concession overhaul, adding a local dessert option for travelers." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Recommended among Houston ice-cream destinations, cited as one of the city’s most reliably delicious flavor purveyors and a neighborhood companion to family-friendly outings." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Fat Cat Creamery in Garden Oaks has something for everyone, like orange sorbet push pops or milkshakes with a lot of booze. The local shop has scoops, popsicles, ice cream sandwiches, and an entire back bar to shake up ice cream cocktails. Make your own soft serve sundae topped with hot fudge or toasted pecans, or grab an old-fashioned egg cream soda to-go. You might need a cat nap afterward." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
