I went to Fat Cat Creamery in the Stomping Grounds of Houston, which is a great little development and currently the only ice cream spot in that area. Fat Cat Creamery is a woman-owned, Houston-based ice cream company that started in 2011 after the founders couldn’t find good craft ice cream in the city. They make small-batch ice cream completely from scratch using Texas whole milk, heavy cream, egg yolks, and locally sourced ingredients, and they also emphasize environmentally friendly, compostable packaging. The ice cream itself is clearly high quality, with unique and well-executed flavors. That said, I am very particular about ice cream texture and prefer a harder, more frozen style that you can really bite into. Fat Cat’s ice cream is very soft and melty, which just isn’t my personal preference. [ICE CREAM] +Small-Batch Ice Cream By The Scoop for $4.25 – The flavors are good and thoughtfully made, but the texture is very soft and melts quickly. It’s not bad ice cream by any means, just not the style I personally enjoy. - 3.5/5 Overall, Fat Cat Creamery is doing something right and clearly has a strong following, especially if you like softer, creamier ice cream. I appreciate their presence in Stomping Grounds and the quality of ingredients, but the texture keeps this from being a favorite for me.

7/29/2025 at between 630p-7p we visited Fat Cat Creamery!! We were greeted with friendly staff. So many delicious flavors to choose from. My sons tried the Coca-Cola Ice Cream floats and enjoyed them!! I had the Whiskey Butter Pecan (2 scoops) and thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband had a scoop of Texas Hummingbird and scoop of Graham Central Station on a waffle cone and was a fan of the Graham Central Station but not the Texas Hummingbird but was good overall. We would definitely visit them again if we’re in the area again.

Nice little ice cream shop in a closed off area where kids can play. Ice cream was tasty. Nice staff.

The options are very good and it’s a cute looking icecream place but my experience with the staff was a bit weird. Maybe it was the time of the day I went because it almost close to store closing time and staff probably was just done for the day so I felt their ambiance wasn’t very pleasant. Nevertheless, apart from that minor hiccup it’s a good icecream spot. Plenty of free parking at the location.
