50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Watauga

“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.“

“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!“

“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 best ice cream in DFW, hands down! Locally owned and a ton of flavors.“

“Delicious. Very friendly and attentive. We’ll be coming back often!“

“We love this place! It’s our must stop after church. The staff has always been super sweet. We love their Italian ice 🫶🏼 the birthday cake is one of our favorites!“

“I absolutely LOVE their Apple pie ice cream! Hands down the best in the Pantego area.“

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

“One of my kids is currently collecting ducks, the other requested a visit, and I had the Keller Chamber Holiday Passport card for #LoyalToLocal, so naturally I planned a visit (yes, we have to make a special trip, we do NOT live close). Sadly we made it shortly before closing, but the customer service was still top notch. Also, the owner is my kind of business owner - she was mopping the floors herself when I walked in, and knew my business had tagged hers recently. We ordered some special treats that were of course delicious, entered the raffle for the Advent calendar (guessing we didn’t win), and got my Passport card stamped. Support local, support small, and enjoy this fun place with yummy flavors of ice cream and cute ducks for keepsakes!“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“My friend Jay introduced me to this place. I’ve never experienced anything like it before. A must stop, if you’re going to or passing through Hurst Texas!“

“The employees are polite and courteous, with excellence effort and efficiently when it came to making my order.“

“Delicious frozen custard 🍮“

“My daughter loved the milk tea and brown sugar bona she got!“

“It’s great for everyone. I wish it were closer to Royse City. Go get your snow cones before they close down for the winter 🥶“

“AWWWWWESOME, great custard ice crea, great flavors. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️“

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

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

“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.“

“This is the best ice cream I’ve ever experienced. I’m officially obsessed and plan to return tomorrow!“

“This is by far the best frozen treat shop in the area. The staff are always super friendly, the selection of frozen yogurts is always amazing, and being able to sample everything pushes this place into 5-star territory. I also like that this place is so clean! I've been here 5 or 6 times now, and I am always impressed with the cleanliness. Just the fact that the place has a self-serve topping bar makes me think that it would be an uncontrollable mess, but it's not! It's spotless at all times! The prices here are far better than other shops as well, and I really feel that you get good value for your money - even more so when I can find a coupon. Sweetfrog truly is one of the retail gems in Keller, and I'll keep going back for more.“

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

“Delicious family friendly local sweet treat shop“

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

“I came here around 630 p.m. and I noticed a long line forming at the drive-thru. I thought for sure there would be a long wait at the counter.
I'm happy to say that wasn't the case. I received my order less than 7 minutes after placing it. I ordered a #1 combo and it was delicious. This hit the spot after leaving the movie theater. I just love their crinkle cut fries and the food was hot and fresh.“

“This was a really nice Braum’s. The ice cream was great, and the employee we dealt with was very approachable and friendly. It was busy when we walked in so we talked more than usual and it’s great to interact with employees who aren’t robotic in their tasks.“

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

“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. 🍦“

“Huge shoutout to Pudgy's Snowcones for saving the day at our middle school soccer event! We had a massive crowd of players and families, but their mobile unit handled the rush like total pros.
Honestly, I was a little worried about the long lines, but the Pudgy’s team was so fast and friendly that it wasn't an issue at all. They really went above and beyond to make sure every kid (and parent!) walked away with a smile. It’s rare to find a vendor that’s this easy to work with and actually delivers on the hype.
If you’re planning any kind of event and want a hit, hire these guys. We’ll definitely be having them back for the next season. Thanks again for taking such good care of our teams!“

“I had such a great experience at Crumbl Cookies! The cookies were fresh and seriously some of the best I’ve had. The flavors tasted amazing. What really made the visit stand out though was the blonde girl working there. She was super friendly, patient, and had such a positive attitude. She made the whole experience feel welcoming and fun, and you can tell she really cares about customers. Definitely coming back!“

“Ricos y refrescantes exelente servicio“

“Wonderful friendly family environment!
Very Clean environment! I had visited many other ice cream Michoacana’s this one takes my top 1!
Definitely a place to stop for a snack, lunch, desserts to choose from and tasty colorful desserts!
Plus the owners were very welcoming and friendly!“

“Amazing popsicle & great customer service!“

“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.“

“So cute and delicious snowcones!!“

“great snow cones and great fruit cups“

“This place was packed when I went at around 8pm. I was pleased with how quickly they took orders, kept the line moving, and got us our food. The only thing that sucked was they didn't have any ice for drinks. Also, I wasn't impressed with their spicy chicken sandwhich. I think I will go with a burger next time.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The team here was awesome! They were very welcoming and served us well, ESPECIALLY Jesus. The store was clean and the ice cream was delicious. It got busy as we sat and ate our creations and Jesus kept his cool, greeted people as they entered, and worked quickly to serve each guest.“

“Got me a fresh waffle cone with my baseball nut!🥰☺️☺️ thanks for suggestion from the manager. Great service“

“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!!“

“Only reason I’m giving a five star review is because Grey he was working so hard last night 5/13/26 He made Sundays and Candy Mixes perfectly, he was cleaning floors, then when I had to check out a few things in the store section he checked me out at the register. He was constantly working to get everything done and with a sweet positive attitude! Thank You Grey for taking care of us, working hard with such kindness and drive. You definitely stand out otherwise i probably wouldn’t even sent a review at all or gave about a 3 because of other things that were not pleasant that evening, but you going above and beyond made up for your co workers etc. outstanding work and you were very much appreciated last night! Thank you!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

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