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.“

“Best ice cream in Tarrant county. Need to add a second server in the summer evenings. Line was out the door.“

“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 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!“

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

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

“Delicious frozen custard 🍮“

“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 🥶“

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

“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!“

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

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

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

“I have an allergy to peanuts. When we told the employees about it they opened a new container of ice cream for me to avoid cross contamination. Then when they gave us forks, they opened a new package of forks. I appreciate the care that they gave us. Kudo! The employees were a young man and a young lady. WILL BE BACK!“

“I would love to gatekeep this place but I feel like the cat is out of the bag. The owner is incredibly humble and the nicest person I have ever met (even while attending a very busy establishment). Long wait times are sometimes/often an occurrence but we're no quitters and it's worth it. Corn in a cup or on the cob are the best! The raspados are also good especially the natural flavors like the home made Tamarindo flavor. Highly recommend, every visit even with the wait times are 10/10.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

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

“I first had Sweet Frog when I lived in the DC area. I was so excited when we moved to DFW to see that sweet frog is here! Unfortunately I’d been to a couple other locations that weren’t great. (Seemed like they weren’t cared for, messy topping area and the frozen yogurt was runny and not cold enough, dining room not kept up on either.) HOWEVER this Keller location is AMAZING and exactly as Sweet Frog should be! Luckily we live very close and come all the time!“

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

“3 / 5 ⭐️stars due to poor customer service Curlys has become one of our favorite spots for an ice cream (custard) treat or a chili dog. The past two times we have come (in as many weeks) we have received subpar service…..tonight it was actually rude. My husband walked to the window to pick up our order and was greeted with ‘What do you want/why are you here’ . He is too nice to say anything and just explained he was there to pick up our chili dogs (we placed the order online). While eating our dessert, my spoon broke, so I walked up to the window to get a new spoon and the young woman who slid the door open hurriedly and asked me ‘what do you need ma’am”. I was truly shocked at her tone and the choice of words. After a few seconds I revived and told her ‘that was an interesting to ask if you can help a customer’. She gave me the spoon and screamed out the name for the next person. I asked what her name was before we left and found out her name was Michelle. Not sure of the woman‘s name who spoke to my husband rudely.“

“The elote and sundae were delicious, just as good as the 5-star average recommended. I was a little hard at hearing but the customer service was helpful and made sure my order was right.

5 stars, would break my cut again.“

“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. 🍦“

“So excited to see this place !
Have never been in their brick & mortar , I’ve only seen this brand at grocery stores . They carry a LARGE. selection of vegan & vegan toppings . I was happy to see they disclose calorie counts and nutrition facts so you know exactly what you’re getting into .. or not getting into .

Planet EARTH is a must try for vegans !
Please add this to regular menu .

The great part about this location is they’re open late till 11pm.“

“Ice cream is the absolute best!“

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

“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 ❤️“

“Crumbl is a fun treat when you're craving something sweet. The cookies are definitely rich, so a little goes a long way, which makes them great for sharing. I especially like that they rotate flavors every week because there's always something new to try. The changing menu keeps it interesting and gives me a reason to come back and see what's next.
Tip: If you're not sure which flavor to get, split a few cookies with family or friends so you can try more than one! 🍪“

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

“Great service and experience for our social event!“

“So cute and delicious snowcones!!“

“Sugar Llamas is hands down one of my favorite donut spots! Their mini donuts are always fresh, soft, and so flavorful, and there are so many options. My box had powdered sugar, chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, cinnamon sugar, and my absolute favorite, the cinnamon roll. It's warm and sweet with the perfect amount of cinnamon sugar and icing drizzle. Getting a mix is the way to go so you can try a little of everything!

The employees are some of the kindest people. They're always welcoming, patient, and happy to help. The shop itself has such a cute, cozy atmosphere that makes it a great place to grab a treat and hang out for a bit.

If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. I'll definitely keep coming back!“

“The triple-shot BREVE has become my go-to drink from FCB. Love it! Always a friendly and clean establishment.“

“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!!“

“Amazing popsicle & great customer service!“

“Muy amables personas!. La nieve está rica y Las mini paletas estas perfect as para los niños.“

“Both beautiful and delicious small cakes. I am already anxious to go back for more and going to check out their creamery as well. I got these cakes as a gift and before I posted to visit this family run business I tasted one and so did my husband. I am always very honest, and the cakes were very delicious“

“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.“

“Best ice cream 100% recommend a mangoneada Also the banana flavor Yumyyyyy“

“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“

“We went last night for an ice cream. It was packed but they served us quickly. Very clean store, I usually hate watching them make my ice cream. The ice cream station was very clean. There was a worker cleaning inside the trashcan even. I give it 6 stars if I could. It is rare to see such a clean store!“

“My wife & come to the drive thru here pretty often. We usually are just getting a shake ,& a malt. Very often, after patiently waiting behind several cars we are told to pull forward & wait for our order, even when there is no one behind us. It's irritating because they are probably just playing games with the timer that measures their speed at the drive thru. Their food is good but service at the drive thru is like McDonalds.

Update- It appears there has been a change in management & personnel. Our last several trips have been quite pleasant. All the frowning people are gone, replaced by people that seem to care. I'm upping my rating from 3 to 5 stars.“

“We’re from California visiting our daughter in Texas. I always want to try something new, places we don’t have in Cali. I was in the mood for a burger and saw Braum’s in Arlington. Right away I noticed the beverage machine which I love free refills. The manager was very polite and welcoming. I ordered the double cheeseburger combo and I was able to order a shake with my favorite ice cream, butter pecan, with my combo at no extra cost. The fries were good but not too hot and the burger was extremely good. One of the best tasting burgers I’ve ever had. Wish there was a Braum’s in California.“

“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.“
