50 Best Ice Cream Shops near River Oaks

“First time here and wow…I’m impressed! The food was super fresh and sooo good—we had cucumber locos, corn in a cup, and a frappe, and every bite hit the spot. The vibe was awesome with great music playing, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. You can tell they actually care about their customers, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back for round two-highly recommend!“

“I went to get some gelato earlier today and was greeted by the most lovely lady, I believe her name was Suri. She scooped my gelato with ease and formed it into a rose like no other. It looked so real I tried to sniff it instead of lick it LOL😂 suri had the most amazing customer service and treated me like family. I defiantly will be coming back and requesting suri to scoop my gelato!“

“Great for out of towners!!! Had a friend visiting from out of state and when she wanted the REAL DEAL CHURROS this is the only place I thought of! My friend was completely unfamiliar with thos kind of food and the lady at the counter was SO patient with showing her so many good new things to try!!! It was her favorite place she tried on her trip! Thanks for showing people why Texas is the friendly state!!!“

“so yummy. I appreciate the staff for going above and beyond for my food allergy kiddo. they read the ingredients on the parts of the bases and the flavors to help us choose the perfect mix for him. they also had way more flavors that would work for him then I expected! he usually only has 1 or 2 choices. 10/10 would recommend“

“This cute lil shop is painted in bright pretty colors. They have snacks, drinks, fruit, snow cones, ice cream, everything! There were 5 of us in our party and we all 5 got different treats. The ladies working were very patient and gracious. My only regret is not taking lots of pictures to share (It was late and my phone died,) because every was so beautiful and tasty. My husband's mangonada was delicious, and my watermelon aguafresca was the best one I've had... ever. When we visit north fort worth again for any reason, im going back to get another aguafresca.“

“Wonderful small ice cream shop with multiple gluten/dairy free options. Truly unique flavors.“

“Went there for the first time ever after living here for several years. I am disappointed it took this long for us to try it out. The prices are decent and the portions are fantastic. We will definitely be back.“

“Ok so I was in line, there was a nice girl named Chloe ahead of me, she works there. I asked her a few questions, since I haven't been to braum n 25 years. She was super nice and she actually said I can clock n a little earlier to help you with your order. What? That never happens n this world. She was so helpful and Kind, then her coworker friend Lillain(i think) she was super helpful and sweet as well. Because Chloes kindness and also Lillian. I will b back many times. What an amazing store and staff. I was blown away Chloe did that. Anyways thanku ladies, yall made my day, and Because of yall, I will spend much more money n the future. Hope the management realizes how great these 2 young ladies r. Food is always good and cheap. Last shout out. Christy at the checkout line. Amazing lady as well. Super kind. Thanku ladies and braums for incredible visit“

“Amazing popsicle & great customer service!“

“😀Great Flavors and just the right amount of ice.“

“I recently tried Crumbl Cookies, and I totally get the hype. The first thing that stood out was how soft and fresh the cookies were—they’re served warm, and you can really taste the quality. The flavors rotate every week, which makes it fun to try something new each time instead of getting bored with the same options.

Some flavors were definitely better than others, but even the ones I didn’t love were still good. The cookies are pretty big and rich, so sharing is honestly the way to go unless you have a serious sweet tooth. My personal favorite was the classic chocolate chip—it’s simple but done really well.

The only downside is the price. They’re more expensive than your average cookie, but for the size and quality, it kind of makes sense. Overall, it’s a great place to go if you want a treat that feels a little more special than your usual dessert.“

“Amazing snow cones! They are the best we’ve ever had.“

“great snow cones and great fruit cups“

“Riquísimo todo aguas frescas paletas de todo para disfrutar con la familia“

“Alma’s Paleteria was amazing !!! 🤩🤩🤩“

“This place is real find. It has popsicles that are just as good or better than the gourmet pop shops at a third or less of the price. It is not as "nice" as the high style, high design pop shops as it is mostly a wholesale store, used to supply the guys who sell pops out of their bikes. But why pay 300% more for decor? La Flor's pops are fresh, made in Fort Worth, with great natural flavors and real ingredients. Highly recommended for folks who want a high quality treat for a great price.“

“Under new ownership! The change is amazing and definitely noticeable. A much needed new scene for Watauga. Very welcoming and inviting for any age groups. They have over 20+ flavors of ice creams as well as over 20+ types of mix ins. Also the CLEANEST food establishment that I’ve ever been to. The staffs are super friendly and clean, wipes everything down, from the doors you enter/exit, to the tables AND chairs you sit at. 10/10 experience. Delicious, fresh flavors. My go to is either the banana toffee or the butter pecan pretzel toffee. Butter Pecan Ice Cream or Banana Ice Cream w/ caramel and Heath bar, and add pretzels for the sweet and salty combo! Yummm. If you are ever on Denton Hwy, or going to target, you literally cannot miss them! They’ve got a new sign to establish new ownership.“

“My wife and I first went to Braum's to get ... ice cream. Then one day we tried their milk because my wife had to increase her calcium levels due to the cancer that was killing her. Anyway, we tried a gallon and couldn't believe the difference in taste over what we usually bought at the local grocery store or big supermarket. Braum's has the best dairy, ice cream and other related milk products. Plus they have a small selection of ham steaks and eggs. The milk though will make you a believer in good quality dairy at a great price. Sometime they have sales on their milk.
UPDATE 5-28-26
My son and his family came down this year from Oklahoma City and I had him try some Brahms ice cream. He couldn't believe the taste! It was so good him and I both finished off a half gallon ourselves and split the other half gallon with his wife and little son. Braum's products from the dairy side tastes just like they came from the dairy. As a matter of fact if you're ever in Ohio near Antioch College you might want to check out the dairy farm up there that has also a roadside creamery. I can't remember the name right now my goodness it's been so many decades since I've been home but give it a try.“

“Clean and everything in its place. When we approached the front the only person there was fixing an order. It was a couple minutes before she finished what looked like a very delightful order for the couple ahead of us. My sons ordered a #9 takilocos and my daughter had a mangonada and there was a little confusion as to what a takilocos was supposed to be. (And to be fair it's kinda open to interpretation even on the internets) so I kindly explained what he wanted and we were rung up for another.Very well done btw. Thanks again. We will be back for sure.“

“I'm from Austin/San Antonio and I'd never even heard of this place. After a quick Google I couldn't wait to get in there and I got to say their food is really good. I like the ice cream. I like the shake I got. Definitely excellent, cool store. Great concept. Love it“

“Best Chicago Style Popcorn that I have had and I know good popcorn because I am from Chicago! Try the Extra Cheese and Buttery Caramel and you will go back for more!!“

“Our go to place anytime we need a refreshing snack! We drive 25 minutes to get here but sooo worth it! Amazing customer service, really quiet, chill place for some laughs with the kiddos ❤️“

“First time trying this place, I rate the food a 6 of 10. The fresas con crema nothing special about them tasted like the ones I make at home. The cochinadas was good just felt the chips were a little stale,other than that pretty good place to get some snacks.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Duck Donuts is absolutely amazing! Their donuts are always fresh, delicious, and made just the way you like them. The variety of flavors and toppings makes every visit exciting. On top of that, the service is excellent—friendly, fast, and welcoming every time. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a warm, made-to-order treat!“

“I was trying to go to another location, BUT to my SURPRISE it was closed down. I wasn't thrilled to have to drive farther, though I was HAPPY I did. The SERVICE was GREAT. My brother and myself was PLEASED with the ENTIRE EXPERIENCE.

I WAS A HAPPY CUSTOMER, and I'D drive out the way to have Ice cream there. I'm“

“These smash burgers are really good! Favorite thing I got were the sweet potato fries though, hard to find good sweet potato fries. Love that they have a gluten free option too for my family member with a gluten intolerance. I recommend trying this place!“

“My grandson really likes the root beer and my other liked the cookies and cream yum 😋“

“I live closer to Keller location but I will keep coming back to Fort Worth SweetFrog. The girls working are so friendly-I especially felt welcomed by Melissa and she even offered me a sample cup to try the new flavor. The toppings were fresh and I can’t wait to come back!“

“Todo riquísimo 😋 excelente servicio. Definitivamente tengo que romper la dieta otra ves.“

“Easy delivery here. Truck entrance is on the corner of Parrish and kings hwy. plenty of room swing wide to get in plenty of room inside to turn a reefer around. Face reefer doors to the building and back up to the yellow line and stop. They have no dock but these guys do not mess around with unloading VERY fast.“

“The ladies there were very nice, helpful, and sweet to my 3 year old granddaughter, and complimented her. I can’t believe the mix in toppings are free, and they mix them in by hand! I’ll go out of my way to go to this place for our after schools ice cream treat,“

“This is Best yogurtland that I have ever been to startin now and I love this atmosphere place they got lots of great fruits dessert examples of what you want to add on to your yogurt dessert and I absolutely loved it I’m definitely gonna be making my way back to this yogurtland place eventually again soon 😊😊“

“freaking amazing. I recommend ages 1-99“

“Great place to get Strawberries & cream, so worth it! The Horchata Drink is very good as well! The people that work there are very friendly and aim to please! Enjoy....Delicious Strawberry and cream.... And like my charm, my Horchata, too! The people who work there are very beautiful and how you like to look after yourself.... Have a good day?“

“Good love it great yes yes yes yes yes“

“well this place is beautiful and staffs extremely friendly I'm sorry so Blue Bell Creameries is a distribution center only. While it would be extremely awesome to get ice cream direct from the Distribution Center Unfortunately they do that at this time maybe it's just wondering your opinion but the place is beautiful.“
