Tubby Robot Ice Cream Factory

Prices kind of high but peanut butter fudge swirl was delicious

Best ice cream in the area. The base is a premium variety. Richer and smoother than the ice cream you will find at most other places. Combine that with the original flavors and excellent pairings of toppings and you get a dessert that is truly worth leaving the house for.

Walked in, it was literally about 80 degrees in there (figured this is bad for ice cream, but what do I know). Proceeded to walk past some customers waiting to look at the ice cream, and was told I can't look at the ice cream. Never been told you can't look at the ice cream at an ice cream place. Asked about a couple flavors, but was told they weren't available on cone because they were soft (thinking if I just could look at the ice cream, I might know what was and wasn't soft??). Decided on something, was told they don't accept phone payments, had no cash on me, left. Rudest experience I've had in a while.

Bit expensive, BUT you get a decent amount of ice cream for the price.

Best ice-cream I think I may have ever had. It’s up there at least. Don’t even like chocolate and I get their Mexican chocolate. Addicting.

The best ice cream in Manayunk hands down. I have brought so many people after having gone for years and it’s always so great. The staff are always so patient and respectful.

Sooo good!!!! Our favorite combo is Chocolate Coconut and Sea Salt Caramel Swirl!! OMG!! Divine ✨🥰💕

We enjoy it in the waffle cone and of course get some to take home!!! 🍦

Cool little ice cream shop. The owner is awesome. The homemade ice cream is phenomenal!

Wonderful customer service, friendly environment and delicious ice cream !

Amazing ice cream omg!! I had the green tea and it really hit the spot with a nice strong flavour, which is surprisingly hard to find when it comes to matcha or green tea! 10/10

From the moment we walked into this place, the energy felt off. Right away, one of us leaned slightly on the counter, and the woman working there snapped, “Can you like not sit on the counter?” She wasn’t even sitting—just lightly leaning. It felt unnecessarily rude.

We went ahead and picked out our ice creams, though there were only about seven flavors to choose from. When it came time to pay, the server told us they accept physical cards or cash. We tried to use a card, but they didn’t have a working chip reader. Their excuse? They’re “moving locations.” Sorry, but no matter your situation, basic service should still be functional.

We had to walk all the way back to the car to get another card, only to be told—again—that the chip still wasn’t working. So we tried to pay with cash, and they wouldn’t take a $50 bill. Seriously?

To top it off, we ordered mini ice creams, and when a toddler asked for sprinkles, they said sprinkles aren’t allowed on minis because “the cup is too small.” That’s just poor business logic. Kids are probably the main ones ordering minis and sprinkles! Why limit their options like that?

And not gonna lie the ice cream itself was pretty mid.

If I could leave zero stars I would.
We asked for sprinkles on a mini scoop of ice cream for our 3 year old and they said “no toppings on mini scoops”. We said we would pay extra and they said no. Finally said can you do this for a 3 year old and they obliged after an eye roll. Since when is it illegal to get sprinkles on ice cream, and with what logic can you justify that just because a scoop is small, you can’t get sprinkles? I truly can’t do the math on this one. Do not come here, not worth the cost or bad service!

Honestly, their ice cream is good but it is too expensive for the little amount you get. There’s also one older white lady who is *always* at the register who is sooooo pedantic and rude…! And I’m not even exaggerating. She also talks down and micromanages the people scooping the ice cream like they don’t know how to do a simple job. It makes the whole room walk on eggshells.

You should lower your prices by like $.50-$.60 cents per scoop. And let customers tap our cards so we can tip your staff and be on our way. I won’t be coming back to support this business anymore, it’s not a welcoming environment

Clean and cozy ice cream shop with great customer service and delicious ice cream! Love the idea of being able to play an arcade game while you wait. My daughter and I had the brownie one (forgot the actual name 🤭) but it was absolutely delicious!! We’ll be returning soon!
