Ice Cream in Houston

Summer is the perfect excuse to eat ice cream, especially if you live in Texas! Celebrate long nights and sunny days by eating everyone’s favorite summer treat! Sure, you could hit up the local grocery store for a pint, but this year, we are challenging you to think local! Here are some of our local Houston ice cream suggestions:

ü  Fat Cat Creamery. Fat Cat is all the rage in Houston! Using high-quality local ingredients, the confectioners create specialized ice cream for a range of tastes. From maple and candied bacon, to pumpkin cheesecake, there is frozen dairy delight for everyone. Want to help save the environment? Fat Cat’s ice cream cups are fully compostable!

ü  The Chocolate Bar. For the chocolate lover in all of us, the Chocolate Bar offers a wide selection of, you guessed it, chocolate ice cream! This bar boasts malts, truffles and delicious milk shakes. Grab a sample of lemon velvet ice cream to cleanse your pallet in-between chocolaty deliciousness!

ü  Cloud 10 Creamery. Heard of “cloud 9?” Well, cloud 10 is even better! This relatively new ice cream parlor boasts unique flavors such as peanut butter and jelly ice cream, and gourmet banana splits.

ü  La King’s Confectionary. Take the short drive down to Galveston and you won’t regret it! La King’s combines old-fashioned ice cream with antique soda fountains to bring you dozens of different flavors from apple pie, to traditional vanilla.
