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 love this place. The owner is so friendly and nice and the ice cream is just awesome! They have the old school snow cones with the crunchy ice that I absolutely love. Me and my grandkids are regulars here. Give them a try if you haven’t already. You wont be disappointed!“

“amazing service. clean space and good ice cream“

“This was my first time here. I quickly learned by not using the kiosk due to not user friendly for older generation, that if you order from the register, all the kiosk customers have priority! Very frustrating.
The gelato was delicious and the rose shape was impressive.“

“Melts is a happy place to be with the best products. They make their own ice cream, have seasonal flavors,happy employees, and their shakes are the best.“

“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“

“Delicious frozen custard 🍮“

“It's's a cute little place with great customer service and yummy treats. 😋😁“

“Always my go-to spot when I get the craving for a sweet treat. And will always highly recommend this place!“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely delicious and refreshing treats for both kids and adults! We ordered two one scoop waffle cones and a large elote to share, and everything was so flavorful and fresh. We loved it so much that we’re already planning to come back and try more items from the menu. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and provided amazing service. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for a tasty treat!“

“We ordered 3 dozen for my son’s birthday— the call put me at ease. “Sure! No problem!” I arrived two hours late. I called. Sure enough, it was “sure! No problem!” When I arrived, they had three dozen perfectly glazed and sprinkled donuts snuggled comfortably in boxes waiting for me to pick up. The place was clean, fun, and welcoming. Donuts are usually not my treat of choice, but I could not stop wanting more of that warm, gooey chewy dough. They really are delicious. So, we found our go-to donut shop!“

“The build-your-home Jackhammer tasted just like an Almond Joy. 👍“

“Delicious family friendly local sweet treat shop“

“My kids love going and I enjoy taking them bc them mom gets to enjoy a lower calorie / sugar delicious treat too!“

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

“Such a fun spot for an ice cream treat! Go explore the stockyards and save room for Melt ice cream! They have delicious flavors and some fun merch that you can get. Highly recommend getting your scoop of ice cream in a come. 🍦“

“Such an amazing snow cone place! Just the service you receive goes a long away. Not to mean ruin the outstanding shaved ice. The consistency is perfect. The prices are great! There are soo many flavors to choose from. Wedding cake will always be my favorite tho! 🍧⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Edit: the general manager reached out to rectify the situation, offering a refund and remake. Thank you for reaching out and providing a solution.

Always something with this location. First, the lady handed me my milkshake at the window covered in milkshake, pouring all over the sides. Looks at it spilling everywhere but still handed to me and then says “here’s some napkins.” And walks away. I continue holding it out of my window, allowing it to drip all over the ground, because the two napkins that were handed to me were not enough to clean up the mess.

I then drive 30 minutes home only to find I was given the completely wrong burger. I ordered a double Miami cheeseburger. I get home to some sort of bacon cheeseburger.“

“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.“

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

“great snow cones and great fruit cups“

“I only visit this braums for my favorite employee, hussain! he’s so polite and amazing at his job. honestly if I were manager I’d give him a raise IMMEDIATELY and keep him forever. I will continue to give them my business as long as he’s there. 🥹🫶🏻“

“1st time there ever. Their burgers were spectacular their ice cream was even more spectacular service was awesome and they have a little grocery store inside where you can just grab other necessities it is amazing nothing like this I've seen before“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“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,“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“My daughters and I were craving for a good burger and decided to try this out since we haven't been. We all loved it! Wasn't busy so we got our food quick. The staff were very friendly and checked up on us periodically. Definitely will be back.“

“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?“

“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.“

“Clean! Kids friendly! Lots of choices! Amazing staff! Will definitely be going back! 😌💕“

“First time here and WOW! Why is this place not packed 24/7!? They have delicious food, ice cream, and tons of other desserts. Plenty of seats with a large, open layout. They also have a small gaming and vending machine section.

If they had TVs with sports and more, this would be a perfect place to hang out during games. One of our new favorite places!“

“Delicious selections, always well stocked with topping choices, sauces, fruit and seating. It is always clean when I frequent it. The frozen yogurt is decent quality. Its a pretty much self service kind of place with cashiers who are always pleasant.“

“After a hot summer day at the fort worth zoo, this was the perfect to place to go for some ice cream. I had the salted caramel and the strawberry limeade flavor and it was very delicious. The price was also amazing. There was a long line due to the business of the drive through but that's expected considering it was a very hot day at the time. The place was very clean and the staff were super friendly.“

“Your manager Terry was on point tonight. We come to this location often and have had our order wrong or the employees rude several times over the years. Tonight, I was wildly impressed with the level of customer service, friendliness and correction that went on. Thank you Terry!!! I also wanted to let you know we immediately definitely located someone to donate to at QT.“
