A Sweet End to Our Key West Getaway! My husband and I stumbled upon Rooster Treats on our last day in Key West, and what a delightful find it was! I truly wish we had discovered it sooner so we could have gone back for more. I opted for the Cookie Monster ice cream, which was absolutely delicious ? creamy and packed with flavor. However, the real showstopper was my husband's order: the Cookie Monster mini donuts. Oh my goodness, those were hands-down amazing! Fresh, warm, and utterly addictive, they were a

What a fun place! Who doesn't love ice cream and mini donuts with fun toppings. Cute sandy spot to eat at. Super friendly staff and we could hear the live music from next door. Great spot for a treat!!

We had the birthday cake mini donuts and the Cookie Monster Oreo mini donuts. Very cute and small treat. Will try the ice cream next time.

Delicious hot & fresh donuts! My husband got the cookie monster and my oldest got the chocolate paradise. My youngest got some vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and that was good too. The woman working the stand was pleasant and friendly.

An amazing place, I must say!! We loved the mini donuts. They're hot and fresh. My favorite are the chocolate donuts. We've been there almost everyday during our trip to Keywest. Will definitely go back here when we're there.

This is a delightful stop for a sweet treat! I tried the Key West Sunrise Ice Cream, and it was absolutely delicious. They have a charming little seating area out front, which was perfect for relaxing and enjoying my ice cream while watching the passers-by. The atmosphere was so pleasant?it?s a great spot to take a break while exploring Key West. Highly recommend stopping by for a tasty treat and a laid-back vibe!

Ice cream was watered down we gave them another shot the next day and had the donuts peanuts were stale. The coconut one did not have any coconuts would not recommend it. We went to the counter, asked for coconut and she said no.

Really cute spot with fresh donuts. The donuts mainly taste good because they are hot and fresh. The ice cream is okay, more icy than creamy in my opinion, not my favorite. Nice chairs and places to sit down and enjoy the treats. Very close to the southernmost point.

You have a choice of donuts or ice cream with the flavor you choose. I had the key lime ice cream and could have sworn I was eating key lime pie. Ice cream is delicious!

The mini donuts are phenomenal! Duval Crawl and Cookie Monster flavors do not disappoint ??

Delicious sweet treats and the staff was so sweet! Their mini donuts are amazing, made fresh when you order with a variety of toppings. We had cinnamon and sugar, so good. Their soft serve ice cream was delicious and they do not skimp on the toppings. Highly recommend this place to anyone who is in the area. Great prices as well.

We were walking back to our resort at night when we saw this super cute food truck. We bought 2 ice cream treats and doughnuts. SO GOOD! Service was fast and friendly.

I ordered the special shark bite mini donuts and shark bite ice cream and they are delicious. The owner is so nice and patient, she gives out color changing spoons for the ice cream and they are awsome!! If you go there and you want to eat at the place there are chairs all over the sand and they look pretty comfortable. Over all the experience is a 10/10.

Great concept but not good ice cream. The soft-serve ice cream they use is very bland.... I wanted to like it but I threw it away less than halfway through. For both of us, this was one & done. We won't go back & you shld prob save yourself a trip & find another otion. Sorry to the owners but this is just subpar and I wish someone had warned me before I wasted $20.00 on a cpl dishes.

Stopped by here for dessert after an amazing dinner at Milagro. The lady working wasn?t very helpful. I didn?t understand that the items on the menu were either served as ice cream of on donuts. The donuts smelled amazing and I wanted some ice cream on a donut, but she said they didn?t do that. So I chose an ice cream from the menu that had Oreo crushed up on it. The Oreo was the best part! The ice cream had the flavor and texture of bland ice milk, not full ice cream, especially not hi-butter fat sof

Delicious!!! Not your average ice cream truck. The dairy free mango is our favorite. So delicious & refreshing. The kids love the crazy toppings on the other choices.

Came here during 6:30 low expectations form the icecream place day before but hen we entered the line - which was a very short line - got Shark bite icecream as well as Shark Bite donuts and just loved both! Donuts were warm and just right and the icecream was cooling and the fruity pebbles were still crunchy midway through. The wait however was a bit longer than expected (probably only 5 minutes though) but totally worth it!! Highly recommend. If you come yo key west you NEED to come here. Highly underrat

We got the shark bite ice cream with key west mini donuts. It was so cool, she made everything right infront of us. The donuts came out hot and fresh, with tons of toppings on top. The soft serve ice cream was actually really good, the perfect treat for a hot day in key west.

Donuts were made special for each order and we're excellent. The gentleman running the show was very courteous, and the price was more than fair. I absolutely recommend!

This is the worst experience, I have had in Key West. The lady working had a horrible attitude and was like, take it or leave it. They had 2 choices, Chocolate or Vanilla. In website they posted that they have 15-20 flavors If you want a big selection, go to Win Dixie or Public We will never visit this spot again Fair warning keep a piece of Key Lime Pie.

Super cute food truck-esque ice cream and donut place near the ocean of Key West. Visited on New Year's Eve and the lady working was super sweet. Delicious, creamy ice cream (I got the Key West Sunrise) and you could also get each flavor on mini donuts. Cute courtyard with seating in the sand. Would definitely come back. Parking on street.

A great place to wind down from a hot day in Key West. They offer unique flavor combinations and the soft serve ice cream is the perfect consistency. The color changing spoons are a fun touch as well!

We had a very upsetting experience. The employee was extremely rude and, shockingly, recorded video of our children without permission. This behavior is completely unacceptable and unprofessional. We will absolutely not be returning and are deeply concerned about the conduct of this staff member.

Loved the colorful truck and also the chairs on the sand area where you can sit to enjoy your treat. The lady who helped me was very polite and friendly. I gave 3 stars, because I found the ice creams were lacking flavor.

This place is awesome, nice stop on your way home after a good night of drinking. Nothing beats fresh hot mini Doughnuts...

Absolutely fantastic!! Incredibly kind staff, SO clean and well kept, delicious ice cream with so many types of sundaes! Highly recommend!

Enjoy some ice cream and donuts close to the Southernmost point! Super fun atmosphere with live music

This place is amazing. All items are so tasty and love the vibe. We always go here when on the island.

Ice cream and fresh donuts. What more do you need?

This place is excellent. My husband had ice cream and I got the mini donuts. Cute little place also with a nice outdoor seating area.

Nice place to cool down with an ice cream made by Katy really nice and friendly person, the ice cream and mini donuts were delicious.

These donuts are amazing! When you order them, they come fresh and straight from the fryer. With that said, you can expect to wait a couple extra minutes before digging into them. I tried the ice cream too and was personally underwhelmed. I got vanilla soft serve with sprinkles and the presentation was exceptional. I?m not sure how, but they made ice cream and sprinkles look gourmet. However, the ice cream itself lacked creaminess and any real vanilla flavor. The service was great and the woman who served m

I?ve cream is great! Love soft serve, lots of selections for toppings- but the best is the donuts!!! I had the birthday cake donuts and they were literally the best donuts I?ve ever had! Service is incredible too- lady who was there both nights I went was so sweet! Hidden gem!

We liked mini donuts and ice cream!

Katy was very nice with us, everything was out in less than 2 minutes, very fast and kind service 10/10 would recommend

I absolutely love these donuts! They're so soft, warm, and gooey. Even with the added toppings, they aren't overbearingly sweet. Just a suggestion though, chop the Oreo cookies slightly finer. Maybe a couple more pulses with the food processor for three to five seconds should do trick. Also, since it's called "Cookie Monster" maybe add some chopped chocolate chip cookies to the mix especially since Cookie Monster's favorite cookie is chocolate chip ???? The highlight should be the donut with the cookies to

Great ice cream and fun toppings options! Also complete with actual roosters walking around. My kids loved stopping here! My oldest dropped his ice cream and they even gave him a replacement cup free of charge, which was extremely kind.

It was very yummy and delicious. It was hot, gooey, and yummy.

The key lime pie ice cream was amazing! Great texture and lime flavor. My husband and kids loved the mango and chocolate flavors. You also get a pirouette AND a temperature sensitive spoon, which I?ve never seen before. It charges colors when cold. Service was great and friendly. We highly recommend!

Yummy ice cream Love the mini donuts Personable service Nice stop! Open till 11:00

I grew up eating these mini donuts when I was child so I was super excited to try this place! It did not disappoint!! The mini donuts were freshly made to order. The ice cream was top notch as well!

Super Slow to get the product (20 min on line) on Friday night. They make donuts fresh but they were good (cookie monster donuts) 1 person working. I had the key lime ice cream but it was more ice than creamy which was a little disappointing. It didn't taste really like a true creamy ice cream. My kids got the key lime pie ice cream, the Duval crawl, shark bite and chocolate paradise. They liked the ice cream all which were server with pralines. The ice cream was average price. They have a small area to si

The Donuts are good but the lady who served me was rude! I thought powdered sugar was a standard topping so when I asked for an order of donuts with no topping only to realize that meant plain and then asked for powdered sugar, she immediately snapped at me, snatched the box back, and sprinkled sugar on them while reprimanding me about what ?no topping meant? in a RUDE way. She handed the box back to me and said nothing. I immediately snapped at her and she acted as if she were taken back and surprised by w

Perfect sweet treat to end a perfect night on the town. Cheap and made fresh per order. Friendly staff and worth the wait.

Got two chocolate ice cream cups, asked for whipped cream on one of them, to which she shook her head and said, ?no whipped cream.? And I said ?ok, that?s fine, plain chocolate is fine then.? Then she walks away and mumbles, ?nobody ever looks at the menu.? This is an ice cream place, it?s safe to assume a normal place would have whipped cream, even if it isn?t on the menu. There?s no need to be rude. ?? The Ice cream is mid anyways. ???????

Freshly made hot mini donut rings and soft-served ice cream with lots of different toppings to try. Fun seating area with hammocks and bright plastic chairs and tables. Price is quite steep for what you get.

It was okay. Nothing special. Has potential because I like the setup and what they have to offer. But I felt what was served fell short of what I was hoping / expecting. Ice cream tasted artificial, and the mini donuts weren?t that ?melt in your mouth? mini donut. But they?re made fresh upon ordering, which is nice.

Rude employee. Below average ice cream. Hard no. Too many better choices near by.

This place is a must stop if you're in Key West! The donuts and ice cream are absolutely delicious. They have great flavors and a ton of toppings to choose from. I had to go twice when i was in town.

Cute little spot, it looks like a permanently set up ice cream truck. The colors are welcoming & cute little seating area. The only con is that cones are not available but the soft serve ice cream is still tasty in a cup.

Cute by appearance, but this place is NOT your first go-to for ice cream. Got a dollop of vanilla ice cream that was $6.99. Wayyy overpriced for fake ice cream that separated when melted?.thats not how real ice cream melts. Better off going to Kilwins.

Katy was quick with my order and was very nice!

My first time having fresh mini donuts and they were amazing! So good I didn't get a picture lol. We also enjoyed delicious ice cream. Customer service was also great. We'll be back for sure!

Very delicious! Their specials were so good.

What an amazing place. Each ice cream treat is perfect. Keeping up!!!!!

Just wanted to update my review to 4 stars for the response from Jim. He clarified it was a mistake and offered a refund or a free treat when we come back. We are no longer in town but appreciate his response and dedication. The only reason why I am giving this place 3 stars is because there menu board of specials is very misleading. The show pictures of ice cream and donuts with all these toppings and have different names for the creations which i thought was great and nice to have ready made combo cho

The best key lime ice cream I had on key west

10 out of 5 amazing. that basically describes it.

Wonderful food truck serving fresh ice cream and homemade mini donuts in Key West. Lovely chairs for seating and the entire area is so clean. Stop by and check it out. Excellent!

Great service, Shark bite ice cream was delicious and the donuts were probably one of the best donuts I?ve ever had

What an incredible find! A must visit place in Key West!!!!!!!!

Duval Crawl Minidonuts?divine! Fresh, flavorful, unique, sweet vanilla caramel, nuts ?wonderful and plenty to share. Nice corner location to sit and enjoy. Live music next door at Tipsy Rooster. One of our favorite spots in Key West. Well done Rooster friends!

Fantastic ice cream, toppings and fresh made mini donuts. If you like Duck Donuts, you?ll love their mini donuts! Key lime ice cream and donuts amazing.

Overpriced and not worth it. Better to get it from a store.

Super nice spot! The kids loved it!

Perfect place for a quick treat such as ice cream of various flavors and hot fresh mini donuts. Easily could name that place as ?must try? when on Key West! ????

Ice cream is delicious although some times more watered down than others?the key lime and chocolate are my fav.

Not impressed. Was in line a long time and there was one employee who could not handle the crowd. She was not pleasant and I chose to walk away. Donuts were small and underwhelming

Donuts and ice cream were both great!

Mini donuts are delicious! Also reasonably priced. Will be going back again in the future!

Cute place to stop by for a little treat, the mini donuts are great and several toppings to choose from !! Ice cream it?s nice too

Ice cream was delicious and I loved the color changing spoons. Mini donuts freshly made and tons of toppings to choose from.

Nice stop to enjoy a good ice cream ??.

This is a cute little ice cream and donut shop with lots of great toppings. Our favorite is birthday cake donuts and shark bite ice cream.

Had a dairy free option which was a hit!

Great little late night ice cream spot. Not a large menu, but gets the job done!

Reasonably priced soft serve ice cream and fresh made mini donuts. No show stoppers but no complaints either.

Key West Sunrise, Birthday Cake and the Last Call ice cream were yummy! Pleasant folks!

I loved the ice cream here. Had the key lime pie ice cream and ate it so fast it was so good.

These donuts were amazing. I recommend this place to anyone in Key West!

Soft serve was very good and really like the variety of toppings, vanilla sauce!! Yum

Worst place that I have ever visited. The hostess didn't have any manners. She was rude and nasty. I ended up not buying anything. Thumbs down!!!!
