🤔 Who is the Little Boy?

It's one of the questions we've heard more than almost any other over the years.

The famous photo has been hanging inside Fentons Creamery since 1954, inspiring countless conversations and plenty of friendly debate.

The answer?

We know exactly who he is...

🤫 But we're not telling.

Instead, we're celebrating this iconic piece of Fentons history with our limited edition "As Good As You Remember" T-shirt.

👕 Just $18.94, a tribute to 1894, the year Fentons Creamery first opened its doors at 41st & Howe in Oakland.

🚨 Last chance!

July is almost over, which means there's only a little time left to enjoy our featured Ode to Melvin sundae.

We start with Swiss Milk Chocolate and Toasted Almond, two legendary ice cream flavors invented by Melvin Fenton, then pile it high with our housemade hot fudge, housemade caramel, crunchy nuts, whipped cream, and a cherry.

It's a delicious tribute to Melvin's legacy, and it's only here through the end of July.

Don't be the one saying, "I meant to try it."

We'll be scooping until the last day of July. 🍨❤️

🎉🍨 What an Incredible Day! Our 132nd Anniversary Celebration in Oakland was one to remember!

From the moment the doors opened, we were surrounded by smiling faces, wonderful families, and a community that has supported Fentons Creamery for generations. It was amazing to see so many of you celebrating National Ice Cream Daywith us!

A big thank you to everyone who joined the fun, enjoyed our $1.32 Black & Tan Jr. Sundae, danced to the live DJ, got their faces painted, created crafts with MOCHA, and helped make this milestone so special.

These photos capture just a few of the memories from an unforgettable day, but the best part was spending it with all of you.

Thank you for making Fentons part of your family traditions for the past 132 years. We are honored to continue serving our community and creating sweet memories for generations to come.

❤️ Here's to the next 132 years!

🎬🍨 A Sweet Day at KRON4! Here's a behind-the-scenes look from our visit to the KRON4 studio, where Scott Whidden, Owner of Fentons Creamery, joined Stephanie Lin to share the story of Fentons and celebrate 132 years of serving the Bay Area.

From our beginnings in 1894 to becoming a place where generations of families have made memories over a scoop of ice cream, it was an honor to tell the story of Fentons on Bay Area television.

We're grateful to Stephanie Lin and the entire KRON4 team for helping us celebrate this incredible milestone and share a little of what makes Fentons so special.

Most of all, thank you. Every guest, every family, and every tradition you've shared with us over the past 132 years is what makes this story worth telling. ❤️
