Top 5 Summer Ice Cream Treats You Must Try in Dallas
Sprinkles Ice Cream – North Dallas
Located next to the original Sprinkles cupcake shop, this spot is a must‑visit for ice cream lovers. The iconic Sprinkles cupcake ATM is a quick detour, but the real treat is inside the shop itself. A popular choice is the shake and cupcake combo: a creamy vanilla‑bean ice cream blended with a red‑velvet cupcake for a sweet, indulgent experience.
CoolHaus – Dallas Farmers Market (often at Klyde Warren Park)
CoolHaus began as a music‑festival staple, now a permanent fixture at the Dallas Farmers Market. Their menu boasts architecturally themed delights like the IM Pei‑Nut Butter ice‑cream sandwich and Norman Bananas Foster pint, each combining classic flavors with inventive twists.
Snowbaby – East Dallas
Snowbaby offers a fresh take on the classic snow cone, blending shaved ice sheets with fresh fruit or chocolate toppings and a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk. Try the Choco‑Cappuccino for a chocolate kick, or customize with year‑round flavors such as strawberry or coconut.
Bingbox Snow Cream – Trinity Groves
New York‑born Bingbox brings Korean‑style shaved ice to Dallas. Build your own with base flavors like mango, matcha, or Thai tea, and top with candies, fruit, or cereal. Signature combos include Honeydew topped with Fruity Pebbles, lychee jelly, and a waffle cone.
Azucar Ice Cream Company – Bishop Arts District
Originating from Miami’s Havana neighborhood, Azucar serves locally sourced, all‑natural ice cream and sorbet. Highlight flavors include Café con Leche (Cuban coffee & Oreo) and Mantecado (Cuban vanilla). Their signature Abuela Maria blends vanilla ice cream, cream cheese, guava, and crispy galletas for a Cuban‑inspired taste.
