Fenton’s Creamery has been around since 1922 in Oakland. They produce their own ice cream and toppings batch by batch on site. They serve breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, salads, but the main draw is of course ice cream. Their creations are simply huge. Even the kid’s ice creams are huge.
Decor, Vibe – Classic ice cream fountain decor with booth seating lining the wall. Lots of families, college students, and big groups enjoying breakfast.

Picks:
Bacon and Eggs with red potatoes ($3.95 Kids) was huge. Just think how big the regular sized one is. Quality of items was good.
Ice Cream Float ($2.50 Kids) with Vanilla ice cream and root beer. Massive amounts of ice cream. Hard to see any root beer in there.
Banana Split ($4.95 Kids) with any 3 scoops of ice cream, 3 toppings, and whipped cream was pretty big. The regular one is about 100% bigger. Good smooth ice cream and lots of toppings.
Belgian Waffle ($5.95) One giant, fluffy Belgian waffle served with a blend of Vermont maple syrup, butter and a dusting of powdered sugar.
OK:
Old-Fashion Oatmeal ($3.95) Steamy oatmeal served with brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins and non-fat milk.
Pancakes ($3.95 Kids) with choice of Farm-Fresh Buttermilk or Whole Wheat. Served with a blend of Vermont maple syrup and butter.
Pans:
None
Fenton’s Creamery is a classic place to go. They serve basic comfort food but specialize in huge ice cream creations. They are also known for a mean crab sandwich. Definitely go there if you are in need of an ice cream fix. They have a to go ice cream counter and ice cream cakes.
