The Fat Donkey

Dessert is the speciality here. In fact, that's all the Fat Donkey offers. It's a popular dessert restaurant and ice cream parlor ideally located in downtown Cocoa Beach. Pick up classic favorites, like soft-serve ice cream, as well as some unique offerings, like dessert jars – try the maple bacon jar, trust us – and "smashers," which are basically pie smashed into an ice cream cone. This restaurant also offers seasonal menu items (don't miss the cherry eggnog baked jar if you're visiting the Space Coast in the winter) and also participates in community events around town. Warm churro ice cream sandwiches are another awesome, indulgent reward after a long day surfing. At the Fat Donkey, you can also find raw, organic, vegan and gluten-free dessert options. If you're avoiding gluten, try a jumbo peanut butter cup for just $6.
