"The Yelpers have spoken! This place is amazing and the ice cream flavors are super tasty! The service is friendly and samples are offered with a smile. Almond pound cake is divine, but any flavor you try is sure to be amazing and M+H! Definitely (without a doubt) a top 3 ice cream spot in H-town."

Nu Ice & Drinks

"It was really good! We had the mango ice with a side of fresh mango and boba. It's smooth and creamy and just filled with mango flavor. We shared the smaller one but should have gotten the bigger one because it was so good! The staff was very friendly and kind. Service was fast. It was hard to find a clean table but it was maybe 45 min before closing so I get it. I will definitely be back."

Connie's Frozen Custard

★★★★★ 4.6 (638) • $$

"What drew me to Connie's was that they offer hourly fresh custard. I came here with 3 other people for a sweet treat. I was surprised they had a drive thru. We parked and walked up though. I got their Pretzel Caramel Concrete. A portion was rather large and I definitely was not able to finish it. The salty pretzels gave it a nice salty and sweet taste. And I liked that the crunch of the pretzel gave my custard an interesting contrast. I enjoyed it except it was way too sweet for my liking. I also was able to try their Butter Pecan Concrete which was also good. But their vanilla concrete in general is way too sweet for me. This spot doesn't have an in door area to sit down or anything. They just have their drive thru and a few benches out in front to enjoy your treat, which is fine. Our orders came out pretty quickly. The staff was really nice. I do want to come back and try their malts."

Nu Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (750) • $$

"This place is a great dessert staple conveniently located in the Dun Huang Plaza. Though they've waned a bit in popularity throughout the years as new dessert concepts enter the competitive Houston Chinatown market, they're still a solid fun dessert option.While they offer drinks and other goodies, the star of the show here is their shaved snowflake ice mountains. Here you get your choice of flavored milk ice and toppings. A small is plenty for one or two, and the large for two or three. I enjoy the fact that this dessert is not too heavy, and you can customize the toppings to include fresh fruit for a slightly healthier option."

SweetCup

"We did a day trip to Houston and found this spot for some ice cream/gelato. After sampling a few flavors, I got a scoop of the pecan baklava and the chocolate hazelnut crunch. We all loved the pecan baklava, so that was the crowd favorite. I like that they top of the scoops with a piece of a waffle cone."

Snowy Dessert Bar

★★★★★ 4.5 (511) • $$

"I'm in love with Bingsu after being introduced to it last year from a friend. Whenever I go to a new location, I love searching to hopefully find a place. I was in luck during my visit to Houston. Snowy Dessert Bar did not disappoint. The Bingsu was amazing. This dessert is like no other. It's hard to explain but just know your taste buds will be super happy with the light refreshing snowy milk topped with fruit or other decadent treats. I truly wish I had this in my city because I would definitely be there often."

Bae

★★★★☆ 4.2 (548) • $$

"Nestled in a side unit within Sterling Plaza, Bae has answered the calls of soft serve lovers everywhere since their hyped debut several years ago. The recent heat waves have resulted in good business for the frozen treats industry and my visits to Bae have been more frequent than ever.Their arrival has also set off a string of similar bizes that also specialize in trendy, hip, (albeit) franchised spots in the same vicinity. The visibility for Bae would have been my initial concern but the crowds have been flocking to the area still and their reputation has stayed consistent overall.The place is small but has some communal seating and fairly clean bathrooms. The contemporary, IG friendly decor is a hit with the millennial and gen z crowd, and families are definitely getting in on the action as well. Ventilation is good for obvious reasons (#1) and it's become a good post meal dessert option.As for the ice cream itself, I think they definitely have one of the better soft serve options in town. Unfortunately like most soft serve, it doesn't travel well and should be consumed on the spot. I have liked all of their signature combos, particularly anything ube and even something simple like vanilla is still fire.Service hasn't always been their forte, but they're young and get the job done. I appreciate that they have a loyalty card and I also like that they aren't pushy about what ice creams to get. I do wish they were better about cleaning the tables. Of course, none of the items come cheap, but this is the wrong place for anything affordable dessert wise. Overall, I like Bae. I've become a regular and I always know what to expect whenever I come here: Good, temp reducing, satisfying, soft serve ice cream. ___________(#1) Can't have the ice cream melting now ..."

Amy's Ice Creams

★★★★☆ 3.6 (664) • $$

"Came here after dinner for my date night with my fiancé. We were pleasantly surprised when they asked the entire room who wanted to play a game. Without asking me, my fiancé volunteered me. I had to catch a scoop of any ice cream with toppings in it into a large bowl to get free ice cream for myself or catch it in a smaller cup to get free ice cream for both myself and my fiancé. I wanted a challenge and went for the smaller cup! There was a fun count down and I ended up catching it! My fiancé got Ube without any topping and I got Belgian chocolate with toffee bits. The flavor was amazing!! I especially love Amy's bc I went to Austin for undergrad and it brings a sense of nostalgia. The only downside is the ice cream has a low melting point and didn't hold its consistency very well or for very long. It mostly melted by the time we were finishing up our ice cream. Overall an amazing experience! We will be back for another surprise hopefully!"

Flower & Cream

★★★★★ 4.5 (402) • $$

"Why 5 stars? Because I couldn't have been more satisfied with this ice cream. --- --- ---The dessert options at POST were aplenty, and I honestly thought I would end up getting boba or maybe even some banana pudding from another vendor. But the table we sat at had a perfect view of the Flower & Cream menu, which was staring me in the face the entire time I was eating lunch. Eventually, I gave in to the hypnotic chants I was hearing in my head and surrendered to the ice cream.The decider for me was the fact that they had a cookie butter flavor. I like cookie butter 100% of the time. Cookie butter is never bad. Flavors like chocolate or salted caramel can have a lot of variance. Cookie butter is just always the same, delightful treat. I couldn't decide on what other flavor I wanted to try, because I could have gone without about ten of them. I didn't want to be embarrassing and ask to sample half of the case, so I just went with toffee coffee cake. Blind. It ended up being pretty enjoyable. And like always, the cookie butter was its typical, heavenly self.Cheers to Flower & Cream -- I wish you were not an hour away from my house!"

Chill...The Milkshake Bar

★★★★★ 4.6 (363)

"Cute lol & pop shop owned by locals. Love how even though it's mostly high school students who work here, they are professional, clean, enthusiastic and have a passion. I've tried their grilled cheese sandwiches and it's one of the best I've had. Their milkshakes are phenomenal as well. Honestly you can not go wrong with anything here."

Popfancy Dessert Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (259) • $$

"03.19.2024 - Made it to PopFancy in Houston Texas - what a cute place - tried their Lychee Cherry Blossom Breath of Love - so refreshing and delicious. The drink brings you to a place to imagine walking under cherry blossoms in the spring time. The drink is so pretty and elegant. It was very refreshing and crisp. Walking into Popfancy was also an experience. The decor was all in Anime and I recall that week we went in was a Demon Slayer theme. I take it that they change themes on a regular basis. I recall on the phone that they get pretty packed on the weekends that you will need to reserve. It depends on the demand and popularity of the time. Their handcrafted sodas are very impressive. In all honesty, the shopping strip has other drinks to try like Boba next door. I didn't want to try boba drinks since I know I can get that anywhere. But handcrafted sodas is different. I wanted to leave Houston saying that I tried something new. No regrets. This was an experience."

Tree House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (200) • $$

"A cozy coffee shop with plenty of parking in a big strip mall. I went here at around 8:30AM on a weekday because my power went out and I needed somewhere to work with caffeine.Only 12oz drinks are served in a cup for dining in. I got a 16oz cappuccino that I appreciate they still did latte art despite it having a cover. My drink was served pretty quickly. There was a pleasant, almost nutty flavor that I enjoyed.There are two booths, a few tables of various sizes, and a sofa seating area. Most tables are near outlets. I had plenty of space to work and the WiFi was sufficient."

Rollie's Frozen Custard

★★★★★ 4.6 (174)

"I had a recent mind blowing encounter with some custard in West Texas and have been craving something similar since. After lunch nearby for Father's Day with the fam, we decided to come here for some dessert. This is a locally owned business located in a strip center in West Pearland. Since we had a larger party with us, we called ahead to make sure they had indoor seating. Majority of the restaurant is work space with small area for customers. The seating consisted of a few benches inside. There was some outside benches a little further down from the Rollie's, but I'm not sure if it's shared with them or not. We were the only people inside when it was our turn to order. There were two employees working that looked less than enthused to be there. Any questions we had were directed to the menu. Customer service goes a long way in my book, and it was lacking that day. We ordered a variety of different things and they all came out staggered which was to be expected. I ordered the hot fudge brownie sundae for myself with chocolate custard. It looked promising at first glance. I went in on the brownie first and it was on the dry side and way to crumbly, but tasted fine. The custard at first was nice and smooth as expected, but then I would get random bites of ice. It kind of threw off the velvety consistency that I love with custard. I also noticed the absence of chopped peanuts that was listed as a topping. I was half way in already so I let it slide. No other complaints on the other items ordered. Overall, my sweet tooth was satisfied, but between the service and not getting my full order, I'm not sure I would rush back anytime soon. I'm guessing it was just an off day and they have alot more to offer."

Mango Mango Dessert

★★★★☆ 3.7 (264) • $$

"3.5 starsMango with black glutinous rice is one of my favorite Asian desserts, so I had to try it here. (On the menu it's item A12 "Snow White Juice with Mango and Black Rice") It was pretty good but lacked some oomph- I think it would have been better if the rice was a little sweeter. Overall not bad but I'd probably go somewhere else the next time I want that dish. Coco Mille Crepe Cake (item S8): The flavor was great but the Mille crepe layers were a little thick so the overall texture could have been better. But I still ate the entire slice because the flavor was enjoyable."

Awesome Bites Co

"In SoCal, there's tons of options for dairy-free, and I was worried I'd have to make a cake myself at home. Thank goodness a place like this exists in Houston! This was exactly what I needed for my little one's 2nd birthday. We got an Chocolate & Vanilla ice cream cake, which is made from a coconut base. It was so pretty and delicious! We've also tried their beanie bars and super muffins. The price is a little up there but the quality is there. With all the food allergies in kids these days, this place is a diamond in the rough. Thank you for existing so our kids and all of those with food allergies can eat what everyone else eats for once / on their birthdays at the very least! I would for sure be back more often if it were closer."

"Cute little shop in the East End that's been on my radar for far too long. I don't have much of a sweet tooth - as much as their frozen treats and candies of my childhood sound attractive... but what brought me in was their handmade facemasks imported from various parts of Mexico. I dropped in to show my support during Latinx Heritage Month, and also buy a gift for my mom (and myself).When I dropped in, they were under renovation with plans to expand to the adjacent suite. Best wishes on the expansion. I'll pop in the next time I'm craving a paleta, dulces, or ice cream concha!"

Still, the staff are super friendly and attentive.I got a veggie sandwich with a side of potato salad, and the meal was incredibly filling. They stuffed the sandwich with as many fillings as possible!They also make a great iced coffee - mine had just the right amount of sweetness!My dad also forgot his credit card and we called them later in the day to see if he could come by and pick it up. He wasn't able to make it until three days later, and they had it for him, so kudos to the staff!"

Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers

★★★★☆ 3.8 (213) • $

"Are you reddys for some Freddys?Custard isn't good in Texas. So it's nice to be able to get some, albeit average, custard here.Very nice custard, but very standard burgers. The custard is only good by Houston standards. If you compare it to Rita's, which is an import from Philadelphia, or perhaps compare it to some of the best ones of the Midwest and the Northeast, then it would probably be scoring a two or three, but just by Houston standards I'll give it a four. For the burgers it's more like a two or three."

★★★★☆ 4.3 (146) • $

"Why 5 stars? Because shaved ice is almost always 5-stars from me. --- --- ---I really walked away from this experience wishing only one thing was different: Blue Bell ice cream would have been better. Everything else? Pretty perfect.To start off, we were happy to see a drive-thru. On the menu, my eye went right to the premium items and I was instantly sold by Coconut Cream Pie. I ordered mine with ice cream in it, which is how we came to understand that it was soft-serve and not Blue Bell. But aside from that, this really tasted like it was high-quality shaved ice. We don't live super close by, but when we are in the area, I would happily return many times in the future."

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream - West U

★★★★☆ 4 (130)

""A life without anything good is bad" is their motto here and I completely agree. I find good here, so I have been hitting Van Leeuwen up anytime I am near one. This particular location is the closest to my part of town and easy to get to. It is usually our go to after dinner spot for something sweet. I have only ever come later in the evening so parking is plentiful but metered. I honestly don't know the meter policy here so park at your own risk or throw some money into it. The parking garage nearby is free for 2 hours. Customer service has always been on point here which always keeps me coming back.What I like about this place is their unique flavors. They push the bar with some of their limited releases such as the Hidden Valley Ranch or Kraft Mac & Cheese flavors. I'm an adventurous eater, but I will leave that one for you ranch and cheese lovers. I'm also a creature of habit when it comes to ice cream. Cookies and Cream all day for me. This place has made me curious and has me ordering new things every time I come. Don't get me wrong, I still get the cookies and cream in addition to something new. My newest discovery and probably my fave here is the Praline Butter Cake. It has pralines along with pieces of brown butter cake and it is divine. Don't sleep on some of their fruity flavors or even their vegan options. They let you sample as much as you want before committing to anything. There truly is something to please everyone here.Run, don't walk to any of their many locations and thank me later!"

I'd definitely come back and try other flavors and maybe experiment with toppings."

That's Barbi.We love our Rolled Ice Cream places (when they are done right), and this is done just right.This was a surprisingly good rolled ice cream place right off of Highway 290 just outside of Beltway 8 when you're heading out of Houston, NW-bound side. It wasn't hard to find, and Barbi was very skeptical going in - after all, these places keep popping up in malls and many of them aren't very good. But this one is.It has 2 locations, including a busier one (I think) in Katy, but this is the one we've been to and loved. On the inside, it looks very much geared towards 10 year olds, with the walls covered in Post-it notes, but very cute nevertheless. It's small and quaint and feels local, not corporate.But the biggest surprise is the product. The ice cream is perfectly made, and actually amazing. That's the last thing I was expecting. For world class ice cream to be made in a little Suburban place like this, I was a little shocked.So massive kudos to them for great service and lovely ice cream, and we will definitely be back. I have no qualms whatsoever in giving them five stars for this delicious product. And of course Barbi looked like a 5-star goddess on the day we came here, but when does she not?Now if there's something that gets me personally in a frenzy, it's her.Anyway I have some more pix of Barbi to post and then I have to go hang out with Barbi and hit on her all evening since that's what she requires of anyone she's dating and that's what I'd rather be doing anyway. In other words I'm off to get into a sleazy frenzy."

Sweet Intensity

"I absolutely adore French macarons. I had quite the addiction for some time, but I have been to rehab and I was almost recovered. Mostly because it's been awhile since I found any that were truly remarkable, but I've fallen off the wagon in the sweetest way!I wanted a cheat meal treat, so I headed to my trusty Yelp and it didn't let me down. This little bakery is about a 15-20 minute ride from my house and it's so worth the drive (although I hear they're available on DoorDash and maybe other delivery apps as well). We were greeted immediately upon walking into the store and given time to peruse their offerings with no rush. Upon inquiring on popular items, my husband took their suggestion of the chocolate cupcake in a cup, which is a fantastic idea BTW, but I have a standard list of favorite macarons that I must try at every macaron establishment. Those are the rose, honey lavender, and usually the tiramisu or caramel if available. I chose the former three, and they were all delicious. Delicate, fresh, moist, the perfect texture, strong flavors, but not too sweet...I could go on, but you get the point. They are also very nicely sized. If you're a macaron fan, you must try these. We will be back for our next indulgence!"

I can't quite describe how amazing they are - it's just too good to be true.There are Mexican dessert shops and then there is this place. They kind of ruined paletas for us because we really like Mexican popsicles and we get them all the time, and a lot of places we think make them really well, but then we tried this place, and by comparison to this place there are really no good paleta shops. That's how good they are.We're talking about some of the very very best paletas that you will ever eat. The Mexicans really know how to make their fruit Popsicles with chunks of fruit and delicious fresh ingredients, and this is the perfect example of just how good they can be.They have amazing ice cream products too, but it's the fruity Paletas that are always the standout here.They're a little more expensive than you probably imagined and will cost you $3 or so for each one, but it's well worth it, and they are otherworldly in terms of taste. It's run by a very friendly family, and they're looking to expand to a couple more locations, and we can only hope that all of their locations will have these incredible amazing standards for desserts.I'm going for paletas, you can come, do you WANNA?You said you maybe would, so decide, are you GONNA?Popsicles might be fun, but Paletas are FUNNEREspecially when you get them here at MICHOACANA!WHAT!"

And trust me, on a hot day like that, you can imagine how eager people are to get the ice cream and go. I was not rushed and was encouraged to try more flavors if needed. Plus, the location is hard to beat. Shopping stores all around and a play area with grass for kids to kick the ball around.
