50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Houston

“Ice cream was cold and so was the staff. It was a quick pop in and out right before closing. The ice cream was wonderful but the service was not. They were visibly annoyed. We didn't keep them there past closing. We got our scoops and left.“

“Excelente sabor … deliciosa“

“prices are good. ice cream off the chain!!“

“Seriously, everything was amazing! I can’t do dairy and the toasted coconut was the best! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Love coming to Morelia’s. On our most recent visit, the service felt less welcoming than usual, and we weren’t allowed to sit inside even though we arrived about an hour before closing. We’ve also had a prior visit where the waffle maker wasn’t available. We’ve always enjoyed this place in the past, so I hope this was just an off day and that the experience returns to what it’s been before.“

“The ice cream was good and they offer a huge variety of flavors, so there’s something for everyone. They also sell their ice cream by the pint if you want to take some home. One of the highlights was learning about the history of the shop, it added a unique touch to the experience and made the visit even more enjoyable.“

“The ice cream is absolutely delicious; always a pleasant experience. Customer service is great. The buttered pecan ice-cream is EVERYTHING‼The store is clean and the restroom has considerate complimentary essentials(Very thoughtful). 😊I love this place. I bring my friends and family.“

“had a great experience today. everything was delicious! i loved the brownies! 😋. very nice clean place. customer service was 5 ⭐️ thank you all.“

“1st time and we almost missed out since they opened late and by that i mean 45min. We just happened to stop next door to just get a drink and they were there when we came out
They have a variety of different choices and again was a bit disappointed since they didn't have basics like Lemonade which I really wanted 😑
I did go with Strawberry / lemon with Tajien which I really enjoyed but still they were on strike 2 in the first 5min
The person there was really nice and apologized , maybe it was just a ploy to get us to make another trip 🤔
I can't tell you what the price was i didn't pay but I did enjoy the homemade flavors that we did get
They also have pints which we didn't try this time , guess we'll see when we come back“

“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)! ♥️“

“Muy rico todo muy limpio el lugar y todo de buena calidad un 10 de 10 👌🏽😍😍“

“Underground Creamery is honestly starting to feel like a cult… and I mean that in the best way. We literally wait for the weekly drops like fiends, and somehow it’s always worth it.

This ice cream should probably be illegal. The flavors are creative, the quality is insane, and every single drop feels intentional. It’s not just dessert, it’s an experience at this point.

We’ve gotten multiple people hooked too, including my siblings in Austin, so clearly it’s not just us. Once you try it, you get it.

Hands down some of the best ice cream in Houston. If you can get your hands on a drop, do it.“

“Fabulous flavors and quality! Love! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Amazing.

Great sticky texture.
Great cream bits.
Great ice cream flavor.
Not too sweet where my throat hurts.

I’ve had ice cream at many Persian restaurants and this is the best I’ve had. It’s made well.“

“The concha con nieve is great as well a large their Mexican treats.“

“this was the greatest service I've ever received tonight i felt so welcomed and taken care of and this is the best gelato I've ever had. even if we got there just before they closed we got taken care of so thoughtfully, thank yall so very much more for this greatest experience david, arehaa, and luzse, whish i could give yall mpe than 5 stars for real“

“- 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 ☕“

“Visited Houston, TX for a week and came here 3 days in a row! The service is amazing, it’s a family owned business, and it’s very CLEAN! I ordered a chilli cheese dog, nachos, and a Tigers Blood Banana snoball stuffed with condensed milk - try it!!“

“It’s one of the best snack places for a snack craving“

“amazing !! the staff is very friendly and place is kept clean !“

“🍦Delicious custard ice cream! ✨
The perfect frozen treat for summer.☀

Choices are vanilla or chocolate. Custom sundae options.

Patient service & quick custard. 💖“

“Love this chain but thought this location wasn’t as good as the Westheimer one. It had good service and was easier to get to and park at though. We got the following items. Usually the strawberry cheesecake is really good but thought it was just fine here

- Butter Pecan Streusel
- Strawberry Almond Cheesecake“

“My very first time in Crumbl! Gabriela was very knowledgeable and told me all about how to order and all my choices. So many wonderful kinds of cookies! I picked the mini 6 pack and wasn’t disappointed. I really enjoyed the option for the cookie with pink icing that was made with almond flour. Delicious. Angie (I think I remembered her name correctly) was hard at work in the back of the store. Everything was very organized and clean. Both of your staff were very friendly and able to answer any question I had. I will definitely be back! Bravo! Sorry for the picture of four. We had already eaten two cookies! Lol.“

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

“Dad: Saif was great, me and my daughters came by ice cream he made us very happy

Daughter#1 : The worker here was very nice and respectful, and the ice cream tasted great, definitely need to come back.

Daughter #2 this ice cream was delicious and the service was very good“

“This place is simple; they don't have a huge variety of ice cream flavors, but the ones they do have are unique. I'm a chocolate lover, and that is my favorite flavor here. The staff is very friendly, and the place is always clean.“

“Such sweet people! Corn and fruit cup is amazing!!!“

“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.“

“I enjoyed it, and will certainly go back to visit there again it was a great treat“

“awesome, very delicious highly recommended“

“Delicious ice cream that hit the spot after our bad, spicy, dining experience at a different restaurant. I had the coconut cream and chocolate banana but with fudge and graham cracker and my husband had the cats meow Mexican vanilla. We were both in heaven. Loved it!“

“Great vibes and delicious ice cream!“

“The Sweet Spot Cafe is a great place to take the family to satisfy your sweet tooth! Their Cafe Mocha was phenomenal, and their enchiladas verde with fried eggs was great as well! They’ve got a great variety of breakfast foods and my kids and I all found the food to be delicious! We made a fun trip of it and got some candy to take home too (huge variety)! We didn’t try the baked goods (babka, pastries, macarons) or the gelato, but we’ll do that next time because we are absolutely going back!“

“New owner is so nice .. I love this place“

“This was our first time here and we can not speak highly enough about the hospitality we were given. The tacos and seafood basket were so good and their aguas frescas were a 10/10. We’ll be returning 🤗“

“I love this place I just wish they’d have more of the more American flavors. I love the taste but prefer to stay with the chocolates, pistachios and Ferraro Roche. Their Kwality is awesome we love it.“

“Dear owner... I'm updating my review because I moved to Richmond and you do not have a location here. Can we fix that? And can you open at 5? Thanks so much! I do not like Starbucks! Beansup was awful. Hortons is awful. Dutch brothers is disgusting. They are all awful! Please help. SEE A NEED, FILL A NEED. -Mr. Bigweld“

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

“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.“

“Brownie & Gelato was Absolutely delicious Every single bite amazing The brownie tasted Amazing the gelato best gelato I ever tried overall everything was perfection I 100% percent recommend this place the environment was nice and relaxing and customer service was excellent 100% percent recommend“

“We have come here multiple times now and they are always very clean. They continuously wipe the counters and refill the toppings so they taste fresh unlike other frozen yogurt establishments. Their flavors are richer and creamier in comparison to other areas which lately have been akin to slushees. Tutti Frutti has better quality ingredients and pride in their establishment, I would 100% recommend trying them out.“

“I enjoyed it, and will certainly go back to visit there again it was a great treat“

“Crumbl Cookies is a sweet lover’s paradise and a treat worth indulging in. From the moment you step into the shop, the aroma of freshly baked cookies hits you, and the sleek, modern design of the store makes the experience feel special.

The highlight is, of course, their rotating weekly menu. Each visit feels like a new adventure, with creative flavors ranging from classics like Chocolate Chip (perfectly gooey and rich) to more innovative options like Churro, Peanut Butter Blossom, or their signature Pink Sugar cookie. Every cookie is oversized, soft, and baked to perfection, with just the right balance of sweetness and texture.

What sets Crumbl apart is not just the cookies but the presentation. Each box feels like a gift, making it great for sharing (if you can!) or giving as a thoughtful treat. The staff is always friendly, happy to explain the week’s flavors, and the in-store pick-up process is seamless.

Though the cookies are on the pricier side, the quality and experience justify the splurge. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just need a sugar fix, Crumbl is a must-try.“

“Muy frescos y Deliciosos antojitos 🤤🤤 la mangonadas La mucho es esta muy deliciosa, es una muy buena porción a un buen precio“

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Dough Cone! We used them on 2 separated occasions (one year apart) and both times it was a big hit with our family and friends.

In addition to the delicious ice cream and sundaes with many flavors, toppings, and options to choose from, we love the various sizes that were offered from generous servings to smaller sizes so we can experience many different flavors.

Dough Cone staff were very friendly and patience with our guests, especially children. One of our highlights, which were a pleasantly surprise, was the thoughtful personal details. As we were celebrating our soon to be born grandson, Dough Cone created a beautiful custom banner, adorable little flags that perfectly matched our theme. They also made very delicious macarons featuring our grandson’s initials, making it meaningful and memorable!

It is rare to find a company that combined delicious food with outstanding customer service and creativity. Dough Cone exceeded our expectations in every way and they will be part of our family’s celebrations for years to come!

We absolutely love Dough Cone and highly recommend them for any special event!“

“I absolutely adore this dairy-free donut spot. My go to stop for breakfast when I visit my hometown! Their donuts are large and golden brown delicious perfection IMHO. I am not a sugar fan, and their glaze is an appropriate proportion to the bread for me. Must try!“

“After moving back to south TX, this is the best chocolate I have found. Any time I am in Houston, I try to go by and indulge myself. It's become a Christmas tradition to order boxes for friends, family, and my office. During COVID, they were the special treat as they shipped.“

“Tried the plain matcha latte and thought it was okay. The matcha tasted fine, but it didn’t have anything that made it stand out compared to other places. The drink was well made, just not particularly memorable. Customer service was great. Overall, it wasn’t bad, but I probably wouldn’t come back since there are other matcha spots I’d choose first.“

“Always happy when we go to Tutti Frutti on Kingsland and Fry! It’s a regular treat for our family of 5.“
