“We drive from Lake Worth. The owner is super friendly & always in a delightful mood. Her prices & snow cone flavors can’t be beat. Lots to choose from & always super yummy. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed. *Coconut Cream Pie is the best!!!!! ❤️ ???“

“Oh my word!!! This flavor was to die for!! I just love the vibe at this Marble Slab!! I think I’ve been here at least a half dozen times!This flavor was Chocolate Hazlenut mixed with Peanut Butter, it’s as if I had a Reese’s peanut butter cup dipped in nutella! So GOOD.I’ll be back!“

“My husband has been wanting to try Sugar Llamas for a while now so I finally popped in to get some! The woman at the counter was super sweet and patient while I chose my flavors. She also told me which flavors are the most popular! I couldn't wait till I got home so I took a bite of the hazelnut one and I absolutely loved it. I highly recommend this donut shop!“

“We love Mad Mikes Ice Cream!! The salted caramel is my favorite, my daughter get the apple pie flavor, summer its peach and salted caramel mixed, and my husband is always vanilla. Family owned and you can tell, they are happy to be at work and serve customers.“

“Scoops of incredibly crafted ice cream for a decent price. This might be our new spot when we are willing to spend a bit more than Braums but want a more unique experience than Andy's. So many choices and you are supporting a local business.“

“Well this little gem was a win win for me! Very first visit the gentleman behind the counter was friendly and explained the process to me. I decided on cookies and cream my fave! I had him put caramel on top. It was delicious and creamy and not overly sweet. The store itself is pretty basic a couple of tables and chairs with the ice cream behind the glass. Reminded me of the ice cream shops from way back when.“

“My best friend raves about Handel's near her in Oceanside, CA so when one popped up near us, we had to go. On her recommendation my husband got the monkey business (banana ice cream with caramel and brownie), I got horchata. Both were super tasty. He said his might be the best ice cream he's ever had.There's so many flavors so we will be going back for more. I like that you get the unique mixes of something like Cold Stone but didn't have to wait 5-10 minutes to have it mixed. Keep in mind the "small" is still three scoops of ice cream!Atmosphere is only low rated because there really isn't anywhere to sit inside or outside. They could use a few tables inside and small patio area outside. Nothing wrong with the service either. You won't be disappointed.“

“Salted caramel, and their seasonal flavours are always a treat to try out. Take a pint of their popular flavours with you; you will not be disappointed.Parking: There is free parking in front of Melt and across Magnolia Street, as well as in the parking lot behind the building. Magnolia street is a busy street with lots of restaurants, cafés and bars, so parking is usually tough to find on weekends. During weekdays, and later in the evenings, it is easier to find a parking spot.“

“this is my favorite place to go for ice cream. their scooped ice cream is nice and creamy— i always get the gansito flavor. i also recently tried their elote en vaso for the first time and it was delicious; they go heavy on the toppings, which i really like because you don't end up eating some scoops of mostly just corn. on top of that, everyone who works here is always so friendly and the place is kept clean!“

“Jeremiah’s Italian ice is definitely my favorite place now. They have more flavors , the staff is amazing too. I got the PB&J and couldn’t believe how the flavors mixed together made it really taste good. You guys really need to come check it out.“

“Great place to get corn, usually where I go corn has this water boiled taste to it which I’m not a big fan of, I’m more of a roasted corn.This place has great corn despite it coming from water it has that roasted corn taste and they are not shy or stingy with toppings as well!!I come here more than 3x a week just to swing by and grab a corn, ITS ONLY $5 !?!??“

“Went here with the family. The ice cream was delicious. I got the Mississippi mud, and it was chocolate goodness.Ren was working and took good care of us. She made sure each of the kids ordered the amount of ice cream my wife and I were comfortable with. Ren even took the time to listen patiently while they talked to her about Minecraft.“

“This local frozen custard shop is a hidden gem! Open until 10p on weekdays and 11p on weekends. We ordered Kelly's Favorite and the flavor of the week, Texas Peanut Butter. Loved both and can't wait to come back to try other flavors! Shop was clean and the two guys were friendly and helped with suggestions for our first visit.“

“A while back I came here with my family and we had rolled icecream and fresa con crema. This was our first time here and everything was delicious, the fresa con crema was the best i’ve ever had! ? I’ve been craving it for some time now.“

“I was so sad and devastated when they left west Fort Worth. I enjoyed the elote and snow cone. They have the best customer service. I highly recommend stopping by and giving them a try if you are in or near the Northside. I have nothing bad to say about this place and can't wait to return!!!!“

“First time here tonight with family and I will definitely be back! Nice nd cozy atmosphere with I tried the fried oreos, churro, mini pancakes, and maruchan preparada. Everything was delicious but the fried oreos are my favorite! Excellent customer service and very friendly owners. Will definitely recommend and return. Keep up the great work!“

“After coming here for 13 years and traveling the world to find the best snow cone, I’m confident to say the Bedford balls has the best snow cone in the world! I’m convinced the pink lady with rainbow sprinkles and light syrup is the closest thing to perfection one could imagine!“

“This paleteria has one of the best menu DISPLAYS on gawd. Ive been to several paleterias that have a 'modern' slideshow on display without the option of a full menu. There were pictures with the option, I wanted everything.un 10 por la manera que tiene el menu con foto y con la forma que atienden la gente, no los dejan esperando tan poco“

“Super friendly and fast serviceGreat vibesDefinitely recommend and will be coming backAs someone who is lactose intolerant and not a big fan of ice cream i was surprised by how good it was and I'm willing to risk it all for their ice cream , totally worth it❤️“

“Hey Sugar has a balanced mixture of older and newer types of candies, it's truly a candy haven. The employees were helpful and kind throughout my time at the store. I tried their icecream which is made in house and selected the espresso martini and toffee. They were delicious and refreshing on a hot spring day. They weren't too sweet which I appreciated. I picked up some truffles, dark sea salt caramel and dark chocolate raspberry, the truffles were yummy but pricey. I selected a couple types of gummy bears, sour apple, watermelon and blue raspberry. All three flavors were yummy and I munched on them throughout the week. They have a covered gazebo and open patio as well as an open area in the front to sit. They have stationery rides for kiddos to ride on in the front. I love checking out downtown roanoake and look forward to returning.“

“I just ordered on DoorDash!Holy Cow!!!!! Wow! I think these might be the best cupcakes I’ve ever had! I’m not kidding, the strawberry one changed my life. And if you are GF or gluten conscious, the GF cupcakes are excellent, full of flavor, and taste equally as good as the ones with gluten!Will absolutely be re-ordering! You need to try this place!“

“Andys is definitely one of my go to places for ice cream and this location is top tier... I love the atmosphere and the customer service... The ice cream is always amazing and so delicious ?... The nutty waffle crunch was my choice and it's definitely a must try... 10/10 for the win ?“

“I stopped in last week to grab my husband a treat. He loves strawberry ice cream, I normally don't like strawberry flavored food. I got him the strawberry magic. This ice cream was the best I've ever had. I ate half the pint. I cannot wait to try more flavors. This is our new favorite ice cream / dessert place in Fort Worth.“

“First of all, I love sno cones. I’ve never been to a snow cone place that has made me come back over and over again. Well this spot has and I will continue to do just that.I love their Jumbo Ice Cream Snow cone with cream… nothing is touching itGreat Job‼️“

“My Daughter and I love coming to the shop. It’s out mother and daughter tradition that we come every Wednesday after practice and have delicious ice cream. I love their different flavors. My daughters favorite so far is coconut cream die. I’m still trying to decide which one is best cause they’re so many. I love how they have other ice creams if we missed last week. You can choose your own topping and of course they have not just ice cream but also shakes, root beer, and they even sell ice cream cakes and pie too. It’s worth going with the kids and family and the owner is very sweet too.“

“The choco rocco (spelling?) holy hell. When we lived in Tx this was a go to for us once a month when we wanted a nice treat. The long lines moved so quickly and when they were slow, the order was ready before I was able to get my card out of my wallet.“

“Very friendly staff and a very wide selection of items. We got the Copa Hawaii with mango water-based ice cream and an agua fresca de sandía.Both were really good and they even have different types of chamoy and tajin that you can self serve to spice it up a bit more.“

“Our first experience - Hubby got a southern blackberry sundae, kiddo got the strawberry and creme sundae, and I got the Dr. Pepper float. Happy faces! Plus, after we were done, we noticed our ducks were engaged in a very serious council meeting.“

“I changed my first review (a bad one) we give it a second chance since they are giving a burger for free with the purchase of fries, I was able to customize it with a lot of veggies and sauces through the app, so much better than my first experience placed by phone that was very very bad, we didn’t know you could customize your burguer otherwise it comes with nothing for 10 dollars“

“Can't imagine a more deserving 5-star review in recent memory! Everything was so good! And the vibe is awesome. Great spot overall!! ?? Highly recommend the guava passion fruit smoothie, the spiced chai latte, and literally any pastry (they're so good, omg)“

“The kolaches are SO good! I tried the jalapeño and the cheese because I haven't been able to have them in years and I was so thrilled! I'll definitely be back anytime I'm in the area, they were a 10/10!Vegetarian options: The whole menu is vegan!“

“We always get ice cream on a trip. That's our way of ending our day/trip on a sweet note. I looked up ice cream shops in stockyard and MELT ice cream popped up at the very front. Then I walked out of a chain burger store and noticed, hey, it's right across the street and people are eating ice cream in this 50 something degree weather, this must be good.I smiled at a mom walking out of the shop with her kids, and asked her if the ice cream is good. She gave me a thumbs up and said it's worth it. When we walked in the store it smelled amazing, I felt like walking into a bakery. I wanted to try out fun flavors but my kids insisted on what they know best- vanilla bean and strawberry. As a family we discuss, negotiate, and compromise. So we ordered vanilla bean and strawberry.Since we're sharing the ice cream and cone, I told myself it's okay to order 2 scoops. Vanilla on top, strawberry below, in a vanilla cone. But oh boy it was gigantic and it took the 3 of us a good 15 minutes to finish. The vanilla was surprisingly sweeter than the strawberry but I really appreciate MELT not adding too much sugar and using fresh ingredients. We can really taste the difference. We will come back when we're in the stockyard. Hopefully, the kids will at least let me try chocolate then.“

“I loveeeeee this place I haven’t had any issues so far. I order from them almost every week ? however I did have an issue with cookies being sold out but they replaced them with what they had on hand and gave me two free cookie cards to use at the store ❤️ My favorite cookie place❤️❤️❤️“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent place with a wide variety of popsicles and other sweets and the attention is very cordial and friendly, I highly recommend it(Original)Exelente lugar una gran variedad de paletas y otras golosinas y la atención es muy cordial y amable lo recomiendo ampliamente“

“I couldn’t post the perfect picture cause every time I get this I eat it like crazy hahaAnyways, this is the best ice cream, the only ice cream that actually satisfies my cravings! It is like the gelato, it has a LOT of flavor. Like if you order chocolate ice cream it’s going to be CHOCOLATE, you’re gonna have the whole chocolate flavor in your mouth! It’s perfect!My favorites are chocolate chips, jamoca (coffee), cookies n crème and chocolate of course!Make sure to try them all?“

“This establishment is very clean,The food is delicious.Their service here is incredible, they get your food done as soon as possible they have a wide variety of Mexican goods. This place really helped me get out of my comfort zone, when it comes to food I’mPicky but this place really helped me.“

“This place is so wonderful. Everything is home made. The agua frescas are made daily and very refreshing. My favorite icecream flavor is the Ferrero rocher. They put real hazelnuts and Ferrero pieces. Great customer service!!! Whenever I’m craving icecream that is filling and won’t hurt my tummy, I go here!“

“Loved my experience here! The couple that owns the place were so kind. My ice was the perfect consistency and just the right amount of syrup. My favorite part is the little rose design they add to finish. I'll definitely be back! Oh, and it's indoors so not hot wait or bees chasing you like other shaved ice stands.“

“AMAZING!! My daughter and I shared a small. Yes this was a small!! It was so delicious I almost went back and ordered a second one. I had been to this same location a couple of years ago, and they had the hard crunchy snow cones, so I hadn’t been back. But my daughter and I had been in the sun all day, and she had been asking me to go there recently, so I thought it was a good day to go. I’m so glad we did because now they are completely different!! They had super soft shaved ice with delicious flavors! I think we are stopping there again today. Yum!“

“I placed my order via the app. It was super quick and easy. I picked it up at the location in Southlake. Everything was delicious! The person helping me with my order was super sweet. I will definitely come back again. The only thing you can do better is to open one in Louisiana!!!!“

“3.7 stars. Friendly employees. Semi-clean appearance. Prices are two to three dollars higher for the party pack than at other Crumbl locations. Then again, location is the reason for the stiffer prices. Good cookies. Parking lot can be a tad challenging as you really need to pay attention when backing out.Parking: Pay attention as many people were inconsiderate when I backed out of my spot.“

“If it’s 111 degrees outside, then Andy’s Frozen Custard is the place to be! We had never been here before… we will definitely be back. My wife got the chocolate frozen custard in a waffle cone and I got the hot fudge sundae. Both were awesome and really helped us cool down in the heat. We can’t wait to go back and try other items! Definitely a 5-star place that you should try!“

“Great place! Staff went out of their way to help me. Called this morning asking if they had a ice cream cake said they did would hold it for me, put happy birthday on it and my wife's name, picked it up about 730, looked great, taste just as good! Thank you!!“

“Scoops of incredibly crafted ice cream for a decent price. This might be our new spot when we are willing to spend a bit more than Braums but want a more unique experience than Andy's. So many choices and you are supporting a local business.“

“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.“

“It was a fun late night ice cream run for us. The Cookie Crush was awesome! Everyone enjoyed our choices immensely, and we had fun sitting at the table to eat. The shop was full of customers even at 10 PM.Parking: After-hours street parking is free, but you will parallel park on the street, find a paid garage, or go to a paid parking lot.“

“Had a daddy-daughter date last night at the Southlake Baskin Robbins. Staff was awesome and friendly. My daughter enjoyed trying several flavors. Also, way to go adding Love Potion to your roster! ...our family favorite. Thanks for a great experience!!Vegetarian options: My wife has a dairy allergy and they offer dairy free frozen desserts!“

“We love Sol Dias and always make that a stop with the grandkids! The kids favorites are the mangonada, ice cream and the paletas. My favorite is the bionico and fruit cups. They are SO good! The employees are super friendly, The food/fruit is always fresh, the store is always very clean and its affordable!! They get five stars from our family!!“

“Went here for horchata and elotes. The elote was cut off the cob freshly, she layered the elote with the goods, and they were friendly and quick. Probably one of the best elotes Ive had in Texas. Definitely gonna be my new spot for mexican treats!Not sure if they only speak spanish, but do yourself a favor and learn a couple relevant phrases and responses, it will make things much easier. I need to practice my spanish anyways ?“

“I love this place! I went with another person to get some ice cream before walking around on the Trinity River. It's right near a beautiful park. The young man at the counter gave us the two largest scoops of ice cream ever and was so generous. Highly recommend :)“
