Rank 7. Lick Honest Ice Creams
Dessert
An ice cream shop that takes the "honest" part seriously, Lick uses Texas dairy and real seasonal ingredients, so the flavors actually taste like something. The rotating menu runs from crowd-pleasing honey vanilla bean to roasted beets, which sounds like a dare but works. Families with sticky-fingered kids share the line with people who just needed a reason to leave the house. Two Houston locations if you need to plan your route.

Rank 9. milk + sugar
Dessert
A neighborhood ice cream shop on Westheimer where the whole concept is taking desserts you already love and spinning them into scoops. The flavors lean creative without being weird about it, think horchata, pandan swirls, strawberry almond cheesecake. Get whatever's calling to you in a brown sugar waffle cone and you'll understand why the regulars here look a little too pleased with themselves.

Rank 11. Buttermilk Baby
Dessert

Rank 12. Cheaters Creamery
Dessert
Cheaters Creamery is a walk-up ice cream window where the flavors actually make you think twice, things like black sesame, cookie butter, and vegan mango sticky rice alongside the classics. The Dough Boy, a scoop tucked inside a warm powdered-sugar doughnut, is the move if you're being honest with yourself. Call ahead to make sure your picks are in stock, because they rotate and disappointment is real.

Rank 21. PLK1848
Dessert
PLK1848 is a pint-only ice cream brand where every flavor is rooted in the African diaspora, so you're getting a genuine sense of place with every scoop. Order online, and you'll get the pickup spot in the Heights via email, which feels like a little secret worth keeping. The flavors are inventive and actually mean something, which puts it several levels above whatever's melting at the grocery store.
-
Rank 22. Fat Cat Creamery
Dessert
Fat Cat Creamery is a small-batch ice cream shop that actually puts some thought into its flavors, pairing locally brewed stouts and cold brew coffee with their scoops instead of just doing another birthday cake swirl. The crowd skews toward people who take their dessert seriously but don't want to admit it. One brick-and-mortar location in Houston, plus a spot at Hobby if your flight needs an upgrade.
