Parodius Da!

It's hard to believe, but Tubby Robot has been open for business for an entire year! It's been an incredible 365 days: we've served up 40,000 scoops of ice cream and won some great awards, but we feel like we're just getting started.
To honor the occasion we're unleashing our newest creation: the Ice Cream Hoagie. We bake shorti-shaped puff pastries and slice them open to fill with ice cream and the toppings of your choice. It's an extremely philadelphian take on a classic recipe that just might make you rethink the way you eat ice cream.
