50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Houston

“I am completely in love with their ice creams. They have a rich and creamy taste. We tried:

1. Blueberry jelly donut - it's mix of berries and cookie dough (for donut). It has a sweet and tangy taste. 4.5/5

2. Caramel Dulce - I love caramel and this was by far the best caramel icecream with chocolate chunks. Base flavour is Dulce with caramel filled chocolate chunks in it. However, it was very sweet. I had a single scoop and it was more than enough for me ( for a person who has a sweet tooth).

Overall, I love their ambience too.“

“Excelente sabor … deliciosa“

“I’m a sucker for gelato, but dang ol this is good stuff!! For Spring Break 2022, we are doing an ice cream tour of Houston. We heard about this place, but it blew us away!! My kids never want another kind (& honestly, me neither)! ♥️“

“The prices are a bit high for the size of the popsicle, however they are very yummy.
I can see the price being high for the experience but the shop is also lacking in vision atleast for it’s location, it’s too simple & underwhelming when you walk into the shop“

“Highly recommend!
They have the best Ice creams, they are unique and delicious.

Parking: This is an ice cream truck in a parking lot with enough parking to accommodate.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“This is by far the best ice cream I've ever had! The quality of this ice cream is vastly superior to any other brand I've had. The flavors are so unique and go so well together. I was hesitant for a while to buy this ice cream because of the cost, but it is worth every penny. The staff are so friendly and pick up is super quick and easy. They even have free lactase for those who need it. You can also buy any leftover flavors from the previous week at Pudgy's. Don't hesitate because they go fast! You won't regret it!“

“First time with my family and it is a very welcoming spot. I’ve cream is good and have different flavors and options. Definitely will return.“

“Everything from the ice cream to the chairs you sit in are absolutely wonderful. There are gluten free options, there are nut free options, classic flavors and out of the box idea flavors. I’ll definitely return to try new seasonal flavors when they are released! It’s modern, it’s hip, and it’s a great place to cool off from the heat. Even during the cold season I can guarantee Honeychilds Sweet Cream will be poppin.“

“Booza is a Palestinian stretchy ice cream shop in Houston, with origins in Ramallah from the 1930s. Owner Fadi Rukab is the great-grandson of founder Sarah Rukab, who started selling her unique ice cream in 1941. The ice cream's stretchiness comes from mastic gum from Mediterranean mastic trees.

“Best ice cream I've ever had!! Employees are super sweet and helpful!! Love that they change up. their flavors to go along with their staples.“

“Best snow cone I’ve had in a long time! Great Elote too. Probably the best I’ve ever had. Parking is rough terrain, but plentiful. I wouldn’t go there after getting a car wash. It’s gonna get dusty. You can possibly park on the street and walk it. Be prepared for long lines on a nice day, but the line moves quickly. Highly recommend this place! It’s a must try for sure. The prices are incredible too. Keep me going back for more. I’m hooked on bubblegum flavor.“

“- Delicious ice cream, amazing mochi waffles, my kids love the milk tea, and the roll cake is really good. - Cute decorations, nice original paintings, lovely music. Cozy atmosphere 🥰 Recommended for everyone, especially matcha lovers 💚 A must-try café shop in Houston ☕“

“Esta es mi heladeria favorita en Madrid, estoy feliz de que hayan abierto una en Houston! The milk chocolate topping is my all time favorite. 10/10, must try!

My only suggestion: I just wish they had the merengue that they burn with a blow torch as a topping, like in Spain.“

“I’m so sad that I only got to experience this place one because it would break my bank from coming everyday. If you’re a fan of sweet or bitter matcha, this is the place for you! They offer soft serve, shave ice, lattes, or ice cream. For the matcha they offer levels of “strongness” 1-4 depending on how strong you would like it.

They also do offer other flavors such as ube, thai tea, cookies and cream, black sesame, and pandan for their ice creams!
My boyfriend for the ube soft serve and it was such a delicious, strong ube flavor. My son got the cookies and cream ice cream, which is a simple classic you can’t really go wrong or mess up with.

Whereas I got the matcha shave ice. This option gives you the choice to pick two toppings along side with it, where it comes with the matcha flavor shave ice and your choice of soft serve by default. I of course picked the matcha soft serve, which was extremely flavorful and I’m assuming was the level one flavor because it wasn’t too strong, but so delicious still yet. And for toppings I picked the matcha boba and mochi balls which were the perfect texture and consistency, not too tough, nor too soft. Other toppings consisted of red bean, black sesame, chia seeds, whipped cream, strawberry sauce and matcha chocolate. Such difficult decisions when it came to how I wanted my dessert.

The number of customers in the shop when we visited just goes to show how awesome this place is! Definitely recommend this place for matcha and non matcha lovers! They have a flavor for everyone!“

“The gentleman was super helpful with our indecisive daughter and even offered her samples. You could tell he enjoyed his job! He even put on a little show for her! It was an awesome experience and they were super helpful!! We will be going back!“

“Great vibes and delicious ice cream!“

“Lick Honest Ice Cream not only has amazing flavors and options but their staff is so friendly. The company is supportive of other small business as well. We are so happy to have them at their new location in Braes Heights!!“

“Great cookie spot and excited that they finally opened up a location in Houston. The service here is great but that could be bc it was opening day when I went. I tried almost all of the deluxe cookies and the two specials which were filled churro and a berry blast cookie. The berry one was pretty good but was small size. The churro was cool but I wouldn’t get it again. All of the deluxe cookies were good but my favorites were the toffee one and the triple chocolate chip. This place is definitely better than tiffs and is worth trying out!

Update: went back on a Monday and they were out of deluxe cookies and said they’d get more on Friday…“

“Craft Creamery is the most flavorful ice cream shop in town! Their creations must be a savored in each scoop! My entire experience in enjoying ice cream has been altered! They literally take creating ice cream as a craft!! I highly recommend the Masala Chai!!“

“Best paletas ever!!!Ordered 120 paletas and the cart, they packed it so well and with enough dry ice the paletas lasted from 12 I’m the afternoon until 1am. Customer service was excellent I will definitely be ordering again for our next big event“

“In short: I have never had better fresh and warmed pastries. Morning Bun, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Cheese Danish. Insanely good (like could cry a single, silent tear good 🥲) Would return (literally every day for the rest of my life if I didn’t fear obesity lol)

In long: Friendly, knowledgeable staff! They shared all the deets about how the pastries and ice cream flavors are made and the unique ingredients.

I asked to have my pastries served warm and they came out like they were freshly made! The Morning Bun was my favorite (think cinnamon sugar croissant in a cinnamon roll shape…THE BOMB 😭) Chocolate Chip Cookie was ooey, gooey, soft, moist, amazing 🤤 And the Cheese Danish? C’monnnnnnnnnnnnnn so good.
Buttery, flaky, YUM!

It was so good, I was looking for Tiny in the parking lol please go and give this place a try!“

“tofu pudding is delish!! great price def recommend“

“This establishment is situated in a strip center with lots of shops. Be warned parking is quite congested!
1. First you pick your paleta flavor (a frozen dessert on a stick mainly made with fresh fruits) I chose dulce de leche (these filled paletas contain dairy)

2. You get to dip it your paleta from a variety of white or dark chocolate or caramel or cookie butter. I chose chocolate of course!

3. Chose your toppings! I chose Oreo crumbs, but they over a dozen toppings! Fruity pebbles, peanuts, sprinkles, coconut flakes, etc

Sweet and delicious! I sat inside to enjoy my treat (the place is small but roomy enough for benches and a small table to sit at)“

“Fresh and delicious ice cream and snacks!“

“The ice cream is perfect! This was my first time in this business and I will definitely be back. I guess I'll have to eat my way through all the flavors and look forward to see the fall/winter seasonal flavors to come. Fun atmosphere, and great staff who is very friendly.“

“Absolutely amazing service- Natalie is a very helpful, friendly and caring person!
My friend and I love to come visit our beautiful Natalie.
Always great to be in Galleria Amaretto Gelato and be assisted by a wonderful crew.“

“Staff- friendly
What I ordered - 10/10
I did have a tiny problem. Who I assume is a new hire gave us a total of 35 with change. Tried paying cash, but I guess there wasn't enough to give us change. So when the new hire asked his co-worker for help, our new total was close to 50. It was a small inconvenience but a simple mistake. I'm sure we've been there before. I'd definitely recommend this Ben and Jerry's.“

“Fresh and delicious ice cream and snacks!“

“Their ice cream was very creamy and very good. Their flavors were also very diverse and unique. The shop also had a very nice vibe and they also had a very friendly staff. We got Chocolate Oreo and toasted coconut flavor which were both great. This is a great option for ice cream if you’re in the area.“

“I've never had a bad experience at Connie's, but I have had a disappointment due to not asking enough questions. The custard is rich and creamy, and you can completely customize your order. Seating leaves something to be desired as it's uncovered, and there are no tables, so keep that in mind when going. If you have kids, bring wet wipes. I didn't see a place to wash your hands, and we definitely needed to clean up a bit afterwards. I highly recommend checking out happy hour for reduced prices.

Parking: There isn't much parking next to the building, but there's additional parking behind it in the larger lot for the strip mall.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love the treats, but it's right off of a very busy road. If you have smaller children, keep a close eye on them.“

“We love this place! The ice cream is delicious!!!“

“If you are looking for a place that has the best ice cream and Hispanic snacks this is the place. It is owned by a hard working family that all they want is for people to have a place to go with their friends and family and have natural prepared treats made in house. Now that they open their second shop on hwy6 and West I will be going their too after work with my friends and co-workers. I recommend everything since everything that I have tried tastes great specially if you want a great Mangonada this is your place. I just went today and got one of my favorite snacks fruit salad with everything on it and strawberry horchata last the elote choreado with added chamoy was heavenly. Promise you won't regret it.“

“A sweet and perfect place to go with kids or family.“

“La mangonada está súper deliciosa 😍 con su fruta fresca y al gusto de uno con su chilito 😋😋😋 las muchachas súper amables y te atienden de buena manera súper recomendable el lugar limpio y muy agradable ambiente 🥰🥰🥰“

“The chocolate and vanilla gelato was really good. We sat outside it is a nice place.“

“After dinner, I have a delightful habit of treating myself to something sweet, and my go-to spot is Tutti Frutti. It's always such a satisfying experience! The selection of frozen treats is simply incredible, with a wide variety of flavors to choose from. Plus, the range of toppings is fantastic—there's something to suit every taste, whether you're craving fresh fruits, crunchy nuts, or sweet candies.

What I love most about Tutti Frutti is how clean and well-maintained the place is. The presentation is spotless, and everything feels so welcoming and organized. It’s the kind of spot that instantly puts you in a good mood. Parking is never an issue either, as there’s plenty of space available, making it super convenient to pop in anytime.

Overall, I’d say it’s the perfect way to wrap up a meal. It’s not just a dessert; it’s a little moment of joy that makes the evening even better. If you're in the area, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try. 😋🌟“
