“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.“

I tried the [mention a specific flavor or type you tried, e.g., "Lavender Honey" or "classic chocolate malt"], and it was incredibly creamy and packed with genuine flavor. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. My friend had the [mention another flavor or item, e.g., "Strawberry Swirl sundae"] and was equally impressed.

“Delicious family friendly local sweet treat shop“

“Amazing popsicle & great customer service!“

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

“We love it here, so much to choose from.“

“Go to spot for ice cream. Always fast, ice cream is price decently, and their food is consistently good. I would have given it five stars but almost every time I go, the girl who takes your money at the drive-thru doesn't give you a hello or a thank you... and also if I asked for extra hot fudge on my sundae, it seems they put less than it normally comes with.“

“Ricos y refrescantes exelente servicio“

“We love this place! Probably not a good thing for our waistlines, but we're here every week 🥰😋“

“Their ice cream is creamy, I really like it. I love that they have an attached store, to buy milk & such. Their milk is always fresh. The people are nice, most of the time. I tried Their grilled Chicken club for the 1st time. That was quite good.“

“great snow cones and great fruit cups“

“cookies were so big and tasty and workers were so friendly deffentitly coming back.

Parking: Free parking spots, just when you go around noon its crowded.

Kid-friendliness: My little sister ordered herself for the first time at Crumble and the workers were so friendly and patient with her.“

“10/10 service is always good and welcoming. I decided to try 3 new items since I usually stick to the same items. The maruchan preparada with hot Cheetos was a hit, so flavorful especially when mixing the noodles with the corn and chips, even the broth was great. The torta was delicious had ham, cheese, jalapeños onions tomatoes lettuce mayo and had a chipotle sauce that tied all the flavors together, topped with a sweet pineapple. The dessert I chose was Dubai chocolate crepe and it was phenomenal. So sweet and the pistachios were the perfect soft salty/nutty combination!“

“A fun affordable spot for family dessert.
Update: I have to share this experience. So I has having a challenging day. It was a hot summer day in Texas. I took my family to grab an ice cream scoop at Braums through the drive through. That's when my car conked out! It literally died in the drive through. I got out and pushed it to an available parking spot. Next thing you know, a braums employee, a young man, offers to bring his small car and jumper cables!!! What? Who does that these days? Such a polite young man and so willing to help. He parked next to me and cabled me up. I don't recall his name, but I was very impressed. They will continue to get my business and I hope they give him a raise!“

“We stop here often for ice cream and this time it was extra special. The service is usually okay, but they had a particular fella that was "over" being there. We watched him squirt chocolate sauce over someones ice cream so much that it ran all over his hand, he was put out that I had to ask for a spoon behind the counter, and the ending was the best. I asked for a lid for my to-go scoop of ice cream. He just slapped the lid on, after seeing that it would not fit, he just walked away. The end......“

“Stopped in here last night for a cool treat on a hot night. Many different flavor to choose from and you can add in mixes of candy, fruits, or nuts (pro-tip: add the cake pieces and thank me later). The service was excellent and the staff was willing to make a cool off-menu concoction for me. Highly recommended!“

“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!!“

“tienen buen servicio y todo está muy rico“

“Love the elotes and the horchata“

“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.“

“We visited primarily for a photo op, as we were celebrating 31derful years of marriage and wanted a selfie in front of the sign. We split a small cup of BR's darkest chocolate ice cream, and it filled in the few spaces left by our anniversary dinner deliciously.“

“We love this place. The ice cream is wonderful, not like most ice cream places who have cheap generic ice cream, this is the premium stuff. They also have Elotes which my wife loves alot ! They are super nice too ! They are very helpful and understanding even though English maybe isn't their first language.. and we aren't the easiest to understand because we mumble alot probably..lol“

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

“Really glad we stopped in to try it! The mini donuts were amazing! We did a cinnamon sugar with vanilla and chocolate drizzle, it was so good! Only wish there was a variety pack, and you weren't so limited on flavors. I would've liked to try more options.“

“Love their snow cones and their nacho and cheese. The management is amazing. A few weeks ago we walked to Bedford snowball and took our dog with us. I just got my nachos and cheese went to sit at a table and my dog jumped up and knocked it out of my hands. I took napkins and started cleaning it up the manager came out and gave me a new order. Everyone is so kind and helpful.“

“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. 🍦“

“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.“
