Best ice cream in Houston
How do these rankings work?
1. SweetCup Gelato
They serve up handmade gelato, sorbets, and yogurts that are all made daily from scratch in house.
The key here is their simplicity and relying on the best raw ingredients. We will warn you though: you will be hooked the second you taste one of their products.
2. Magnolia’s Ice Cream & More
Walking in here is like an assault on your senses in the best possible way. They offer over 50 flavours with sweet and savoury scoops (there’s even a pickle version!).
The ice creams come loaded with sweet treats and a huge selection of toppings. Look out for their snowballs, which are also the perfect way to cool down on a hot Texas day.
3. Fat Cat Creamery
They make their ice cream in small batches, using local ingredients and are incredibly proud to do so. The end result is an ice cream that is rich, smooth and tastes like it has come from another planet.
For an added bonus look out for their great S’mores, brownies and shakes.
4. Amorino
This is Italian gelato at its very purest, with each one served up looking like a work of art.
The flavours are classic and delicate, with a rich creamy smooth texture that will leave you instantly wanting more. Ice cream doesn’t get much better than this!
5. Red Circle Ice Cream
Their ice cream is absolutely world-class but they are about so much more than that. That includes their made to order churros and authentic Hong Kong-style egg waffles, as well as ice cream sandwiches.
If you have a sweet tooth and want a serious treat this is the place to hit up!
6. Amy’s Ice Creams
They’ve been making ice cream here for a bunch of passionate customers since way back in 1984. Anybody in business that long is doing something seriously right.
With 350 flavours to choose from (all of which are delicious) there is something for everybody including dairy free options.
7. Aqua S
A small chain with stores in Australia, Cambodia and Houston. Their soft serve not only tastes divine but is one of the prettiest ice creams you will ever set eyes on.
Add in some of the prettiest stores you’ll ever set foot in, imaginative toppings and flavours and this is a place you’ll quickly get hooked on.
