Battletoads

Rare's 1994 title Battletoads is an arcade follow-up to the well-loved console Battletoads games. Players assume the role of one of three humanoid toads and trek through a cartoonishly violent side scrolling beat-em-up landscape.

This evening marks the start of the Sing Us Home music festival on Venice Island, and that means this weekend is your last chance to get the churro-enhanced Sing Us Home Sundae Experience. If you need a snack break between acts, stop on by and we'll take care of you.

Today is also Cinco de Mayo, and as is Tubby Robot tradition we'll be serving Fried Ice Cream too!

For those keeping track at home, this means that you'll get to choose between two sundaes inspired by Mexican cuisine in a single day. What a time to be alive!

Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

We'll be closed today, April 9th. Our normal schedule will resume on Wednesday!

Music is coming back to Manayunk in a big way! The Sing Us Home festival is running on May 5th and 6th, and we're partnering with them to offer a limited-time sundae.

The Sing Us Home Sundae Experience is based on our new Dulce de Leche ice cream, and we lovingly pair it with a toasted churro, caramel sauce, and whipped cream. We'll be serving it up through the festival itself, so reserve a 2-day ticket to see some amazing local bands and pick up a sundae while you're at it.

Sorry everyone: we'll be closed today due to an equipment malfunction.

We'll be ready for action with a full lineup of ice cream on Wednesday -- try to hold out until then!

Today is Tubby Robot's 6th anniversary!

We're celebrating today by serving our customary ice cream hoagies, which are delicious homemade puff pastries filled with the ice cream of your choice. We're also selling more sundaes than can fit on our menu board, so if you're looking for something specific just ask!

Co-owners Chris and Steve will be in the shop to chat all night, and we're looking forward to seeing many of the folks who have helped make our little shop something special for the past six years. Here's to many more!

We've heard that everyone is Irish today, whether they want to be OR NOT, so we have a few specials to help you cope with your newfound heritage. We have "Irish Potatoes" from My Sweet Gluttony, which are traditionally prepared confections made with cream cheese, coconut, and cinnamon.

You can also request Lucky Charms as a topping on any cup-based ice cream menu item. TASTE THE RAINBOW! Wait, no, that's the other one.

As demanded by many of you, we're making peanut butter-infused G.W. Carver sundaes for one more week!

This time we're starting with twice as many Peanut Butter Ganache cookies from My Sweet Gluttony. Let's see you eat all of THESE!

February 24, 2023

We've been hearing calls for years to make a sundae for all the peanut butter fans out there. They pile through our mail slot, they fill up our inboxes, they slide into our DMs. You can stop now! The call has been answered.

Today we're introducing the G.W. Carver. It's assembled with Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream, peanut butter sauce, Reese's Pieces, whipped cream, and a Peanut Butter Ganache cookie baked by our friends at My Sweet Gluttony.

Supplies are limited, so get them while you can!

It's almost time for the BIG GAME.

To help you get in a football state of mind, we've teamed up once again with our friends at My Sweet Gluttony to bring you a new sundae: The Super Cookie Bowl!

A custom chocolate chip cookie bowl is paired with the ice cream of your choosing, hot fudge, and green whipped cream. Score big by attacking the ice cream, then enjoy a gooey cookie as a sweet extra point!

GO BIRDS!

If you listen carefully -- truly carefully -- you can hear them coming. Patrolling the sidewalks, clipboards in hand, eager to fill your shelves with baked delights. The scouts are coming, and there is only one explanation: Cookie Season is here.

The beloved Cookie Season sundae has returned! Featuring our limited-edition Chocolate Mint Chocolate ice cream, this sundae is topped with hot fudge, cookie crumble, and two thin mints for good measure.
