EaterJanuary 3, 2014This ice cream parlor in the Heights offers homemade frozen treats and to-go "minis" and pints--the same ones they've been selling to retailers for a while now.
Juliana CoxJune 5, 2017I love the owner & staff, this wonderful spot always has new flavors that make my tongue burst! Cute location for a date or even group fun
JoeApril 20, 2014Great quality. Brown sugar brown butter waffle cones! Had the Amaya coffee and chocolate (not the beer one) ice cream.
- Come for the soft serve, the seasonals, or one of the few classic flavors that don't change. Line is usually long, but moves relatively quickly. Not much space inside, but outdoor seating is pleasant.
On the weekends if Hugs and Donuts is still open, you should get a donut first and then do an ice cream sandwich.
Joel JacksonJanuary 31, 2014Can't go wrong with anything here. Portions are small but worth the price.- DevApril 17, 2014As if the ice cream wasn't good enough, the waffle cones are nothing short of amazing. Seriously, they should be on everyone's list of "Things To Eat Before I Die."
David GrundyMay 22, 2014The old fashioned sodas are great! Get a dark chocolate egg cream with salted caramel ice cream float... Yum!
Teresa PhamAugust 7, 2014I'd recommend getting marshmallow sauce on any flavor ice cream or the pecan praline sauce on vanilla!
Local Houston MagazineFebruary 23, 2014Sarah and Jarvis recently opened their first ice cream parlor in the Heights. The cats give special attention to quality, local ingredients that are environmentally friendly in their ice creams. Read more
Jessica RangelMay 21, 2014Ice cream scooping gal is not too friendly. For the price.....girlfriend should be sweet as pie. Just sayin.
Mercedes RaeMarch 31, 2018I tried the Mexican vanilla ice cream and he chocolate stout. It was ok. Not too creamy. Very icy.
- Patrick HaleyDecember 17, 2014It's alright. The ice cream is infused with various types of liquor so it may not be for everyone.
The ceiling is the album cover to Watch the Throne, only in silver instead of gold.

"The cookie custard sandwiches are a little smaller than the package lets on, but they're pretty tasty and not as expensive as I would expect for a hand made ice cream sandwich."

"This is my "go to" theater in Houston. Consistently good projection, both film and digital. Audio mix is always good ... and loud. The theater has a nice range of projection options for the big films."
