The Dolly Llama

I've passed this place numerous times but always when I'm busy, so never stopped before. I happened to have a craving for ice cream late one night after coming back from the ballet, so I decided to try something new. If you blink you will miss this place just because it's situated at an odd angle to any entrances to the parking lot it shares with the other businesses around it. That being said, I pulled into the drive thru and it was like a ghost town. It was later in the evening but not that late. I thought it was closed for a second. After a minute, someone came to the window and took the order. There is an extensive menu posted by the window. Usually, I'm happy to take my time deciding what I want but for some reason, I didn't feel like sitting in that drive thru long, so I quickly decided on the Matcha Green Tea flavor. Unfortunately for me, who didn't want to sit in the drive thru long, I felt it took a bit too long for what I ordered. Since I was the only customer at the time, judging by the empty drive thru and parking lot, I was a bit puzzled by what was taking so long. The ice cream was actually good. It had a real matcha flavor and it wasn't overly sweet. The whip cream on top was a nice touch. I wanted to keep things simple, so I just ordered one scoop in a cup.Overall, since it was a little later in the evening and I was in the drive thru, I'll disregard the lack of ambiance. I think the service can be a little quicker or a little more engaging. At least one of those things. I don't know many people who willingly want to sit in a drive thru longer than they have to. The ice cream was good and I'll definitely return at some point to get something a little more extravagant.

The is our family's guilty pleasure. I love the green tea ice cream here with strawberries!They have a great selection of flavors with even vegan options. The servers are kind and they stay open late! The setup is super cute! Who couldn't smile at a place called Dolly Llama. We will be back soon. :)

Desserts are one of my favorite foods, and this shop satisfies my dessert cravings. The soft and sweet waffles are simply amazing.

OMG!!! I haven't never had a dessert THIS GOOD! Let's start with the waffle. It was warm and idk what they added to it but it was the best waffle I ever had. Up against that ice cream.. idk all I can say it was from heaven. The guy at the window was super helpful and didn't rush us to make a selection. I appreciate that.

With a name like this, how can you not stop in. I happen to drive by this place and saw the name and immediately looked it up to see what it was. It was an ice cream and waffle place, perfect for dessert. Stopping in, my first thought was this is a cute place! The menu is varied but not too overwhelming. The service was just okay- the workers didn't really say anything to me until my husband asked if I had been helped yet and they heard me answer no, even though the place was practically empty (only one other couple there who had their ice cream already). The portion sizes are decent though, and I love that you can do a half scoop to get 2 flavors. The average pricing is going to run you around $10-14, but it's big enough to share.The waffle was nice and flaky, almost like a croissant, which I love, but I do wish it was just a tad bit crispier. Overall, I liked it, but wasn't mind blowing.

We wanted something sweet and came to the Dolly Llama for dessert. I tried the mint chocolate chip ice cream with the liege waffle, and others in my group got ice cream and shakes (not all pictured). The ice cream was very standard. The liege waffle was okay; it was fluffy but didn't have the classic bursts of caramelized sweetness that I was expecting.

Another great Ice cream option as if I needed one! I recommend you try the bubble waffle cones. The one I had was hot and fresh with a huge scoop of ice cream. The server was fast and friendly. The inside seating is limited however, there are tables outside as well as various outdoor games. Had popular music playing loud but not too loud. The location is off the beaten path but you can see it from the freeway.

Definitely had to stop by after seeing their punny name off the side of the highway. The facility itself is tucked away strategically and well thought out of its decor and service line. Unfortunately, the service was tragically subpar. We literally walked up to the counter and was not greeted at all. The two staffers (looked like teenagers) kept on working on doing something else rather than to greet us. We stood there for 30 seconds to 1 minute without any eye contact or acknowledgement. Perhaps we should just talk at them with our orders next time? After I asked my wife if she had put in her order yet, was when the staffer tended to us. Man it sucks to not being acknowledged. The waffle and ice creams definitely came out to be delicious, but be aware of super high price for it. It was north of $10 for a waffle and a scoop (rather generous scoop) with some peanut topping and a few sprinkles. Not worth the pricing but I understand the price inflation of today's society. However for a desert and the price, as well as the lack of acknowledgment from staffers, I probably won't be coming back.

My kids go crazy for The Dolly Llama! They are pricey but still pretty comparable in price to all the other ice cream shops nowadays. Hopefully, this location makes it because they never seem to be too busy. My youngest isn't too adventurous with ice cream so she usually just gets a cup with one scoop of vanilla. If she's feeling froggy she'll add some mini marshmallows to hers. My middle daughter loves their Cookie Monster ice cream with their signature bubble waffle. If I let her, she will add chocolate syrup, extra Oreos, and candy to it but that jacks the price up, so I don't always let her. I'm not trying to pay $80 for ice cream. My oldest is pretty basic too, usually, he's just a vanilla ice cream kinda guy with the bubble waffle. No toppings, and no extra frills for him. I have tried their banana pudding ice cream and it's solid. It has good flavor and I love the nilla crackers in it. I think it's seasonal, though. My husband will try all the flavors, but his favorite is their horchata. I don't care one way or the other about it. It just tastes like vanilla with cinnamon. They all love the outdoor games too; their favorite is the big checkers set and cornhole. It's always a fun little trip when we go.

Seriously, the BEST DESSERT I've had in ages!! While visiting a friend in Houston, we started craving a dessert around 10pm. After a quick search on Yelp, we found The Dolly Llama and boy was it a treat!We used the drive thru window so I can't speak on the interior but the clerk helped us decipher the menu and we chose the Sugar 'N Spice Signature Waffle - delicious!!!The softest, fluffiest waffle cone, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Biscoff cookies, whip cream and cinnamon ice cream. It tasted even better than it sounds. I hope that there's one in Dallas because I need it in my life.
