Reviews of SweetCup
Super delicious. I had the apricot and wild berry, and it was so refreshing. They have a lot of different flavors to choose from. The employees were so sweet and patient (we took a while choosing since it was our first time. It was also very clean inside. We'll definitely be returning on our next trip to Houston!
Sweet Cup is my favorite ice cream shop in Houston. All the flavors are excellent. They often have special and seasonal flavors. Saint Arnold root beer float is my favorite. They make their own marshmallows for that flavor and they are awesome. Prices are reasonable.
What a great experience. I've been meaning to stop in for a while now and glad I did. The selections of Gelato all looked tasty and I didn't really know which one to choose but I know I'll be coming back and trying other flavors of these fantastic Gelato's (Italian process of making ice cream)! The staff was very friendly and helpful as well
Cute little spot for some ice cream! We tried the guava sorbet. And the other flavor we tried was horchata and coconut gelato. If you not sure what flavor to get you can ask them for samples but only three times. Definitely will come back
Tasty treats such as cakes,
cake pops, cupcakes, lattes, coffee, hot chocolate, teas etc. Lots of great flavors to choose from. Great location right across from Ra sushi. Prices are worth it for what you get because the items taste amazing.
There food has improved since first coming here. I love their tacos Al pastor and their smoothies.
We tried 4 different flavors of authentic gelato and all were extremely delicious fresh and well balanced. Our Gelato expert Angel helped explaining each flavor and was very helpful. We highly recommend this Gelato heaven for everyone who has a sweet tooth:)
This is a sweet little gelato shop. I’m not usually a sweet person but I was waiting for my son to finish his dentist appointment and decided to try this place. The service was excellent, the treat was delicious, and the shop was inviting and fun. They have outside seating as well. They service cookies, brownies, and other treats too. This place is kinda expensive. For 2 eye small gelato cups I paid almost $20 bucks.
I agree with all the good reviews in here... flavor wise, hands down one of the best ice cream shops ever!!
Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience due to the employee taking care of my order. She was super annoyed when I asked her what does she recommended... she made me feel super anxious for taking a few seconds to choose (so many flavors!!). When I asked her which one she preferred, Turkish or Vietnamese coffee, she literally barked Vietnamese... horrible experience, AMAZING ice cream
SweetCup Gelato & Sorbet Originale offers fresh gelato in the Montrose District! You can even find them at your Local Whole Foods Market. Definitely a to go to spot for delightful gelato. They currently are not offering free samples which is a bummer but it is due to CDC guidelines. They have an assortment of flavors but my favorites are Horchata, Orange Creamsicle, & Dirty Coconut, they are heavenly!! Some flavors are Dairy Free but one must ask to reassure. They do offer sorbets which are made freshly as they offer Local Organic Produce when available. They also allow for one to choose up to three flavors in their small Sz which is a plus as that is rarely done anywhere. I’d definitely recommend for anyone to try them out!!
A friend took me here to try their unique gelato flavors. I'm glad she did. I tried the guava rose gelato with the orange sorbet. The sizing may seem small in a tiny cup, but I can be quite filling. The guava rose was my favorite. You can actually taste and the guava and a hint of rose. I hope they have this next time when I return!
The whole place smells amazing!! The flavors are exquisite, even the cones seam handcrafted! Tastes like authentic Italian gelato!
Yummy and delicious. I had two scoops of passion fruit and one scoop of blood orange sorbet. The service was fast and I was able to test samples of two other flavors.
*** Updated: Still love Sweet Cup! On a nice evening, it’s great to sit outside and try the seasonal flavors along with my faves. ***
After diligently tasting as much gelato in H-town as I can find, I love Sweet Cup. This is the BEST gelato, freshly made daily, flavors updated seasonally, and great service. The Montrose location is clean but not hipster, and I don’t care. Get over it, and bless your tongue. It’s exactly that good - alone, on a date, hanging out with friends, taking a break with family, whatever. I’m not ashamed to say I had two Smalls at my first visit, and my surprising favorite is Lavender, holy moly. Or any flavor. If they can make Lavender taste like the best Summer ever, then I’m All In. You go, you are going to want to kiss someone.
Nice gelato shop.
Flavors are hand crafted in Houston, TX.
They offer some traditional flavors like chocolate and vanilla. And then they offer some creatively avant-garde flavors, like goat cheese caramelized pear.
I tried the Horchata Dulce de Leche and the Banana Cinnamon Cayenne.
I preferred the former to the later.
They are a cashless store.
Pretty good customer service.
Bon appétit 🙂
Probably my favorite place for ice cream in town.. tons of flavors and they are made fresh. Dirty coconut and dirty banana are me two favs
Stopped by SweetCup for dessert after dinner and it was the perfect end to the day. They started limiting the number of samples and attribute it to supply chain issues - we didn’t mind. I got the Vietnamese Coffee and Wild Berry
Went to 34th street location last week for the first time and learned that they are no longer open, so came to this location today. Had 3 scoops in a cup; Mint Cucumber, Cafe Au Lait and Banana Pudding, and loved them all especially Mint Cucumber was impressive that I have never had like that before. Will come back.
Great ice cream, but what's up with not accepting cash!? PEOPLE WAKE UP!
All digital currency system IS NOT FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST!
Where to start..
I guess with the 🍦Ice cream 🍦
would be best 🤣
Man o man.. Take it from someone who has never tried any other ice cream other than Blue Bell.. They have some amazing Ice cream🍦 With Mind blowing flavors,flavors ive never heard of wich I love ! Your allowed up to four Samples unfortunately lol... BUT I completly understand.. seeing how there are customers.. such as myself 🤣 that would sample EACH ONE ! If you get a cup your given a complimentary Waffle piece i think it is.. that is delicious as well.. The customer service.. Was SUPERB ! The Employees are Great !!! Great attitude and very patient.. Ik i was probably one of those annoying customers.. but never once did she show it 💀 Stayed with a beautiful positive attitude.. I had to give her a tip.. BTW guys.. ijs.. I sat there for a while before ordering and witness quite a little rush of customers.. two to be exact Nd not one tiped.. Not one smh and I witnessed great customer service thru the rushes. All im saying is.. throw a dollar or two in the tip jar especially when the customer service is great Nd with them it is.. Give them a try guys..
The strawberry gelato was AMAZING!!!! I would have wrote home to mom about it, but she was with me so no need to. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend
Great assortment of flavors. Get a cup and try several flavors. Ask for a sample to get the right flavors. The cinnamon cookie butter is amazing.
I got the reverse cookies and cream and Vietnamese iced coffee in a cone: Both were delicious very creamy, not too sweet, and light. The place is cute for an ice cream date, they have chairs outside to enjoy if there is nice weather as well.I think it was reasonably priced.
Went for the first time last night. The Gelato was so delicious and not too sweet I will definitely be back! I'm mad I didn't try it sooner
Been here a few times and they never cease to amaze me. The rotate flavors and the Texan Kulfi is by far my fav! They even have beets and honey and tastes amazing. I can't wait to go back, the staff is super nice and very attentive!
The service here is amazing. The young lady working the young lady serving us was so patient and she kept allowing us to try sample after sample. The gelato is so yummy 😋 …
There Ice cream is always on point and delicious as always definitely recommend visiting this place for a sweet cup of ice cream
Always a good time at sweet cup. So many good flavors and great serving sizes, even for the small. I keep coming back
Many flavors to choose from and friendly service! The one scoop is perfect if you are not trying to overindulge.I got the cheesecake flavor it was so rich and creamy. My little one didn’t leave a smudge on the cup so I take it he loved it.
loved this place from the first taste. the staff was very friendly and kind. they have a lot of great reviews for a reason. Pretty good ice cream shop. Nice place to grab some ice cream. One of my favorite places on Houston! Been here multiple times since it opened. My favorites are the goat cheese, bluemoon. Great food with quality ingredients. one of the best ice cream shop in Houston.
Been here twice. Out of this world ice cream. Really unique flavors. They rotate flavors, so you'll may be surprised with a new one. Small store with a few tables indoor and outdoor.
Got the affrogato today which is a scoop of ice cream with expresso poured over and it was great. Try it, you won't regret it.
My girlfriend loves this place.
Hidden gem for sure!!! We each had different sorbets and gelatos desserts. The flavors and tastes were incredible. Normally we get great pictures but the our tummies could not wait to taste the deliciousness.
Customer service was blah. All the unique flavors needed to be explained. My grandson and I were offered 4 samples each. The samples were the size of a raisin. I decided to order Dirty Banana Pudding which ended up not being good to me. My last complaint is the value. My scoops were so small and hollow my cone was empty in 2 minutes.
My grandson loved his raspberry and birthday cake combo!
Those flavors? Authentic. That customer service? Choice. Whoever was working on this day at the time of this review was so helpful and honest about how flavors mixed and what allergens might be a risk 10/10 !
Loves the flavor of ice-cream here. I strongly agree that they wanted to get pay by debit/credit cards which I never want to holding cash.
Obsessed. Variety of flavors that change often, high quality, delicious, excellent service.
Addition: We have been coming here for years and met the owner. She is so nice and cares about her customers and a quality product. She just did a rebranding and everything looks great. I got the vanilla bean tres leches. My fave, but the pistachio is hands down the best around. Go there asap.
I was so sad they ran out of the straciatello flavor: it was my favorite. Instead, I got the nutella s'mores and cookie n' cream gelato flavors. The price for a small, you get 2 scoops of the same flavor or different ones. They make their flavor daily and I was able to taste samples of the flavors before I chose the one I wanted.
Good service and great flavors! Loved the Vietnamese Coffee gelato 🍨 …
The ice cream was ok but I don't give it 5 stars because it's really small to eat inside there was few chairs to sit on and don't allow to use their bathroom.
Seriously the best ice cream I’ve ever had. If you are in Houston and you want gelato or sorbet…this is it. The waffle cone is ridiculously good. 🙌🏼 👏🏼 …
Excellent, creamy gelato. My partner and I were interested in some post-lunch dessert so we headed to SweetCup and were not disappointed. I love ice cream and have very high standards for it. Their gelato was without a doubt one of the best that i’ve had in the United States. I had the banana pudding and mango flavour while my partner had pistachio flavour.
This place rocked ! Hubby surprised me for a gelato date 🥰 service was also good ! …
Nice little place. The person helping us out was really nice and helped us chose our flavors. It was delicious! I would recomd this place, the Gelato was phenomenal.
Service was good. The Gelato flavors they had at the time simply didn't suit me. They were mostly fruity. Guava, strawberry, etc. I ended up with sweet cream with chocolate shavings and it was okay but not great. Will probably try them again, though. Prices are about mid-range for ice cream/gelato.
One of my favorite places on Houston! Been here multiple times since it opened and I make sure to stop by everytime I come to the museum. I just love the flavors and their combinations. My favorites are the goat cheese, bluemoon, the almond honey and they had guava rose creamsicle and beets us honey. I know they dont sound great, but once you try them you will definitely change your mind. If you have an open pallete then this is the place for you!
They also sell some of there flavors in many Wholefoods stores, I just wish they had my favorite flavors out there. The staff is always friendly and the place is very clean!
The gelato has good texture and they have a good variety. I'm always looking for mango flavored gelato, but unfortunately, they didn't have it. Oh well. Maybe they'll have it in the future. The flavors they had tasted pretty good. Pretty nice little spot.
Very tasty gelato with unique flavors like rose. There is a bathroom here but it is for customers only.
I've lived around the corner for years before SweetCup opened and decided to stop in not long ago. I'll definitely visit more often. The selections are awesome and the service and service counter help is what impressed me most. Highly recommended.
Great sorbets and gelatos, glad I chose this place. Very tasty and different flavors. I had a grapefruit lavender sorbet and it was worth the price! My kid loved it too.
This location is great. This was my first time trying Gelato and it tastes really good. The ice cream is very smooth and they flavors they have are delicious. It's a good place to go and grab a gelato and just hang out.
This place has THE BEST Gelato I have ever had.. seriously. I spoke with the maker of the Gelato and she mentioned that they get their pistachio paste from Italy and that is why it tastes so good. I love that it doesn't taste like Almond Extract.
Nice variety of flavors, friendly staff, overall a good experience. I would definitely make a point to return the next time I'm in Houston.
Excellent service and Gelato! We were greeted upon arrival. The lady working was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with choosing our ice cream. Best ice cream I have had!
yummy gelato! loved their lemon and orange sorbetto.
Continues to amaze with fresh flavors that are perfect representations and so delicious! Best gelato in the city!!! Don't miss out on their sorbet either!
The waffle cone was delicious. They didn't have my coffee flavor.
Coffee was my favorite and of course chocolate for my mini! The shop is a little small and gets real busy.
Unique flavors you can buy by the pint.
They have ice cream for my daughter that is allergic to just about everything. Plus their ice cream is made in store everyday. It's worth the money some of the best ice cream we ever had.
This is a hard place to find at night because the strip center it is in is pretty dark. Once you do make your way in, however, you will like what you find. My wife and I were finding it a hard time to choose between the approximate two dozen flavors or so, but each of us got the medium cup with two scoops. Reasonably priced and tastes good, and the lady helping us was very friendly. If you like gelato, I would recommend it!
Love the gelato variety and special flavors. They sometimes even sell push pops, which are really fun!
Awesome place with delicious gelato! Vanilla Bean Tres Leches 💯 …
I love their variety of flavors that are unique but not strange. Last time I visited I had two that I normally get plus Sweet Potato, which I truly hope they keep. They also have non-dairy Sorbet in addition to Gelato. Parking is a little tight sometimes.
Visited this place quite a few times in the past! Very good gelato! They make it daily! And the flavors change every so often so you gotta check it out! My favorite one was the Spumante (cookie butter) flavor. Pricing is good and you can get as little as a small 1 scoop to buying a pre-made pint! They offer affagato style and floats too! Unfortunately due yo Covid they don’t have much coffee options. I’ve seen very interesting flavors like goat milk, soy sauce, and garlic if you want to try out your inner thrill seeker. But for those who are the less adventurous type there are PLENTY of safer flavors to choose from! Pistachio, vegan chocolate, bourbon rum butter (using real rum alcohol) raspberry and loads more! Highly worth a visit!
No complaints. Flavors are amazing and they switch it up every week.
Delicious flavors! Staff is friendly and they offer samples. Definitely worth a visit or three :)
Very friendly servers, great flavors and very affordable. Loved it.
Love love LOVE SweetCup! Best gelato in Texas 💗 The tart flavours like basil or cilantro + lime are so good. Definitely worth a visit if you like (or honestly even if you don't like) sweets because there's always a flavour for someone. It would be cool to see sugar free flavours in the future! …
A small ice cream shop in Montrose, but I do like the unique flavors here. It's located in a small plaza strip. Somewhat doable parking. Not too busy on a Saturday afternoon, but a crowd started to come in after us. The inside is a bit small with a few tables.
They let you try an unlimited amount of flavors. The staff was very friendly and patient with us as we tried the flavors. There are 3 sizes in terms of which cup you want. A small size gives you up to 3 different flavors. The large gives you 5 flavors.
I went with Texas Kulfi and pistachio. I'm a big fan of pistachio and the flavor was definitely solid. They have a lot of mixed flavors, not your typical ice cream. I believe the fla
Great variety with lots of rotating flavors. I've had several phenomenal sorbets from there (limoncello, strawberry-raspberry, some blood orange one, etc.). Gelatos have been generally good, though I don't always love the selection.
Hey! Service was quick and easy. The flavors were plentiful. The portions we delightful and needed on the hot day. Thanks
Such a cute little spot with amazing unique flavors! I recommend the lemon pound cake, graham crackers and orange
The gelato is so good here! For the small you can get 3 scoops!
OMG! Get the Malai Kulfi! Delicious! Has an Indian spice called cardomom. Super good!
We went there last night my 9 year old and I. Gavin and I loved it. We were sad we couldn't taste test, but we loved the tres leches. It was soo good, and I also loved the huckleberry cream one too. We definitely recommend it to everyone it won't disappoint
Love the fact that this place has unique flavors. At the time there was "Southern Hospitality" that had cornbread and jalapeno flavors! I had Goat and Dulce de leche, which was interesting/complex and delicious. Love the staff, love the flavors.
Really unique flavors and a handful of non dairy which was great!
SweetCup is some of the best gelato I've ever had, and it's in par with anything in Italy according to well-versed sources. Creative flavors rotate constantly, so you're always guaranteed new and interesting choices. Great locally-owned shop that deserves our support, especially during this pandemic!
My favorite ice cream place! Or "gelato place", I should say! It's a cute spot with lots of selections. Their sizes are also more my style. If you want a lot, you get a lot! but the small size is actually small which I very much appreciate! The owner was there both times I went serving the gelato and you could tell they were passionate about it. The Gelato here is amazing! Their flavors change seasonally and they also have other options like sorbet, yogurt, and custard. Their housemaid waffle cones are also really good! I definitely recommend it whether you're looking for something sweet, mild, heavy, or light. They have a great variety! It's really nice to be able to support a small business but that's also really awesome and unbeatable!
We moved to Katy. And really miss this place. We frequent when we come to town to run errands! Really friendly helpful and tasty. Cause of covid you cant taste test anymore.. but everything is good. They have unique flavors (we get sorbets with no cream) we love grapefruit lavender and pomegranate or mango
I LOVE adventuring and trying new ice cream places, so I think I know my gelato/ice cream pretty well. Sweet Cup is 10/10! Great! Amazing! So full of flavor! I cannot speak for their sorbet, but all of their gelato is great! They have over 10 flavors all the time and rotate some of them in and out. The service is always excellent as well.
My wife and I have visited this place over 10 times. They're absolutely fantastic. The flavors are exactly (if not more than) as expected, customer service is great and they allow 3-5 flavor options depending on bowl size. FYI parking can be a bit tight on the weekends. (our personal favorite is the Texan kulfi!)
Pretty great! I brought my kids here, tried the Guava flavor and loved it. They have over 200 rotating flavors so I will have to come here a few times and try them :p
This place has some great and delicious gelato....it's so creamy and good!
Service was nice and fast considering that the line was long and only one employee working. Got the Grapefruit Lavender and it was good. Not to sweet not to bitter. Definitely going back. The waffle triangle was amazing too!
We had a lot of fun here with my family and friends. So many new original flavors to choose from! Definitely sample whiskey butter - - it's divine. My brother likes the pomegranate and my husband liked the cream cheese flavor
This was our first time here. I loved that they had a patio seating. I had Tommy’s Salted Caramel and my husband had the Maple Pecan. Perfect blend of salt and sugar in the Carmel, tasted yummmm! The flavors of Pecan were perfectly blended with the sugar. The cone was fresh and crispy! It had been a long time we had such tasty scoops of ice-cream! Ofcourse, you could tell we shared the cone with one scoop of each. Great customer service and very welcoming!
Great gelato shop with creamy bites
For variety and a creamy bite this is now my stop. For a medium cup you can get 4 flavors each of its own scoop. I love it.
The bacio, is my fav. The roasted hazelnut flavor really comes through with emphasis on “roasted”. Paired with the chocolate base... mmmm very good. There are also sort of not common flavors: I like the huckleberry and banana pudding. They taste just like you’d imagine.
During COVID you can still go in the order just can’t stay. Also there is option to call in for your order but I don’t recommend unless you are right outside when you call.
Happy eating and stay healthy
Lot their vegan options! They don't just have sorbets like most ice cream places, but many of their flavors contain plant-based milks. Many different options vegan and non-vegan and their prices are pretty fair too. I would definitely come back here again!
Delicious flavors, and a lot of them are dairy-free! There is also a to-go freezer with flavors and treats you can't get scooped (like huckleberry cobbler). Downside due to Corona virus is their bathroom is closed.
Colin was extraordinary! This was my first experience inside this little gem and he made sure I was informed, covid safe, and welcomed. I came just looking for a quick treat and left knowing this will be my new favorite spot.. . And this was all before I even tried my gelato. The King cake gelato was delicious. One scoop was more than enough to hit the spot.
Super creative and yummy flavors. Try the grapefruit Lavender or Rose Milk
Creamiest ice cream ever! Perfect texture and many interesting flavors!
Unbelievably good. My wife and I love this place - the employees are helpful (ask them for samples and pairing tips) and the Gelato is delicious. Texas Kulfi and Orange Chocolate are my favorites. This is a perfect after dinner spot on a Friday or Saturday.
Always something different. Unusual flavors that somehow come together into wonderful cold treats. They also have a killer espresso machine. Everything is homemade everyday. It is a cashless business so bring the fantastic plastic.
Try the Baytown blood orange lemoncello.. Also great customer service
We stopped in to try this because they have dairy free options. I tried the lavender grapefruit....it sounded so odd that I had to try it. In a million years I would not have thought it would be THAT delicious. I have been craving more since I finished it a week ago. DELISH.
ok not quit like Italian gelato. i felt uncomfortable when i checked out because cashier was basically telling me to tip her.. very bold and i do not like to be pressured to tip someone who just put a scoop of ice cream in a cup
Awesome gelato shop in Oak Forest. Very good and unique flavors, but everyone I’ve tried has been great. Great place to stop for a quick sweet treat.
Small, cold, and sweet are what I think of when I go to Sweet Cup Gelato. They have an impressive range of flavors to choose from which are made impressively in-house. They have the typical gelato favorites such as stracciatella and bacio to more adventuresome ones like curry, red chili, and Vietnamese coffee. All flavors are also rotated each day so there is always something new to try. They also serve other sweet treats such as yogurt, coffee, and sometimes other treats like baked goods but those would be dine-in specials. Overall, Sweet Cup is a nice little place to stop by if you’re craving gelato. The prices appear to be standard compared to most other gelato places at about $3-6 based on size.
Side note: parking is really terrible during the day at this location so just be aware of that when you decide to visit.
Good ice cream and excellent costumer service!
Service is pleasant. The location is visible, in a short strip mall. In a prime location,Montrose. The place cozy and inviting. There is alfresco seating! There is assigned parking. There are 5 non-dairy flavors if one doesn't care for lactose. The Dirty coconut is delicious.
So many flavors, and always some new ones, some very intersting! And as a broke young person, I love that its not ridiculously priced. A little more than Ice cream, buts thats normal for gelato, and worth it in my opinion! Convenient location on Montrose, super nice staff, and my favorite...perfect for after-dinner or after-movie date extension. Open fairly late(10 I think). One of my favorite ways to treat myself:) And the espresso is pretty tasty, too.
The environment was very pleasant, and eclectic mix. The pistachio icecream was delightful. Ask. Ask. Ask. One flavor we asked about was described as like coffee. I love coffee and coffee icecream so I chose it based on that description. It was nothing like coffee, and when I questioned the other employee working behind the counter of its flavor profile, she informed me that it was nothing at all like coffee. Ask. Ask. Ask before choosing.
Best ice cream ever! All the flavors were delicious. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Will come back for sure!
Sooo good! I love the different flavors and how they change. Literally the BEST ice cream cone I’ve ever had. It tasted like a cookie but super crispy.
The Best Gelato Shop in the Loop! I really like the way the have Flavors to Combo. Cheesecake Gelato and Gramcracker Gelato, Kafir Lime Gelato and Coconut Milk Gelato and Thai Curry Gelato. Their Gelato Espresso Floats are better than anything you might get from a Starbucks. The staff is super friendly to everyone who walks in. I hope this place is open for many many years. One day I'll get diabetes and i wont be able to come here.....that will be a sad day.
I searched Google as i was in the Museum District and wanted some Gelato. I happened to find this place and was pleasantly surprised. There is always a large variety of flavors available. The staff here is so wonderful and friendly. I recommend this to anyone in the mood for some Gelato!!!! I've been back several times and have no problem making the drive from Atascocita to come here!! Great Place!!!
Ice cream here is so darn good! Very friendly here! I'm coming back for sure!
This is my favorite place to go for dessert. There is a big variety of flavors to choose from. My favorite is Three Amigos: a delicious mix of chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel. The owner is always experimenting with new flavors and goes out of her way to make sure that everything is to your liking. I make it a point to stop by every time I am in town.
All the flavors you can imagine. Great customer service and yummy delicious treat. Try the waffle cone, it has a little bit of cinnamon. It's perfect.
Awesome rotating flavors, gansito, and unique flavors, im here ar least once a week to try always new flavors, and theyre all wonderful
The best! Have had gelato all over the world and I love this place. I also have celiacs and the staff is extremely knowledgeable about what I can and can not have. Highly recommend. Also, my kids love it!
This place is really nice and relaxing and the sorbet /gelato is the best. I recommend the Meyer Lemon. I got a medium cup. You can mix and match flavor. 4 scoops for a medium, 6 scoops for a large. Good prices!
They clearly use quality ingredients and have fresh, new flavor combinations. But let's get real what really won me over: 1. the size small gives you up to 3 flavor choices (I have commitment issues haha) & 2. they explain what the fancy terms so you're not all "ummmmm" but in your head, so you stay confused. Plus, they give you a waffle triangle with a strong scent of vanilla...YUM!
A MUST TRY!!!
The cardamom cone is so amazing and the selection of gelato/sorbet is divine. I will be going back often, so should you.
The customer service is very inviting and helpful, such a refreshing experience.
Oooh....plus.... color changing spoons for you're frozen treat!
The owner was super friendly and the selection is great! I tried the medium size which allows you 4 small scoops of any of the flavors. Great spot to stop after your day at the Houston Museums or Zoo.
The gelato was absolutely delicious and the service couldn't have been nicer. I love the little waffle chip they optionally add to the top of the gelato. I tried the Bacio and the Salted Caramel, and I'd go back for both! Not a big shop or an elegant experience, but it is a perfect little gelateria.
The best gelato & Sorbet in Houston. My son will not eat any other Icecream. We always have in the freezer just incase. Vanilla and bacio are my favourites!
Cute place. I wish they had more staple flavors like plain chocolate chip. Their smallest size is 3 scoops which was more than I really wanted. Other than that, good flavors and great staff!
I've loved most of the flavours. The servers have been mostly ok. The only thing I was disappointed about was that my favorite flavours (Kashmir rose and Texas kulfi) have run out 2 out of 3 times. I'll give them one more chance as I have to travel an hour to come have gelato and it's worth it as long as they have stock.
Best gelato I’ve had in a while, and the sorbets did not spike my sugars! Small but homey, just don’t expect to sit if there’s more people than you. Just take their goodies to go!!!
Cute place… great gelato! Plenty of flavors to choose from.
I dream about this place
People are so polite and friendly
Best gelato in montrose area. Their prices may seem a little high but that’s the area. Gelato is definitely worth it and they have a wide variety of flavors that changes weekly. New and fun flavors and excellent affogatos! Awesome place.
A very pleasant hidden gem. The service is great. They definitely have a VERY GOOD product. The ratings are well deserved.
Fun and interesting flavors! I always love a good cup of gelato. The only downfall was the lack of room for seating. We ended up going outside.
A large selection of Delicious ice cream.
Fun flavours to eat there or take home.
The lovely ladies behind the counter will give you tasters if you are struggling to make up your mind.
Sweet Cups is always a great place to grab some great Gelato. I love their flavors. And you always have to get a waffle chip with your ice cream. Will definitely be back!! Willing to try their Affogato.
Well it was to die for awesome service great icecream they have more things than icecream they all have sorbet and coffee and popsicles and so much more I would say one million stars
Tried the pistachio the first time I visited and it was delicious! On my second visit I had an affogato & was not impressed, we also had a small cup with cheesecake, mango & tiramisu and flavors were ok. Atmosphere is a little depressing :/
The gelato and experience at Sweetcup was refreshing.The staff was very friendly and considerate even after I tried a majority of the flavors there. What you order is what you get. The flavors are on point. The chocolate amerreto was heavy on chocolate and then gave a strong amerreto finish. The burbon caramel did not skimp on burbon. The cookie butter tastes as if it came out of the jar. The consistancy was smooth and rich without being overwhelmingly sweet.The cone was crisp and light. I will be coming again with company.
The flavors alone are worth the five stars! My two personal favorites were the rose milk and the malai kulfi. The coffee was, honestly, not great. But the gelato and service were superb!
Excellent place, makes me wish I wasn't such a health geek because all the gelatos are fabulous. Get a couple of samples and make sure you get something you like.
As Leonard Cohen said of his secret life," It's crowded and cold". Usually waiting in line for ice cream is a pleasant interim here it's industrial. The Ice Cream runs from sublime to peculiar...but if you're tired of triple dark chocolate mixed with broken candy bits, this is worth wrestling the parking lot.
Gelato was ok with a limited selection. There is very little seating inside, and had to sit outside on a 100+ degree day with no shade. There are more inviting places to go visit.
Great flavors and friendly staff
This is the best Gelato in Houston by far, and believe me when I say that as my family had had a lot of Gelato in Italy. They have both traditional and fun flavors.
Yum! The Gelato I had was so so good. Lavender dull e de Leche I think it was.
Rose guava and grapefruit lavender are my favs!! But everything is delicious!!
Great creative flavors, super staff and super coffees.
Unique flavors and always delicious. Service is prompt and friendly. Small seating space but adequate
So the gelato was great. If you want just gelato then this is good place for it. It's quiet too which is nice. That's said note: it exclusively serves espresso (and affogato), no other espresso-based drinks (e.g. cappuccino). The staff was fine. Not friendly but not bad.
The Cheesecake yogurt along with the Belgian chocolate were a yummy combo at this gelato shop. The service is great and prices reasonable.
I claim that the gelato I have eaten here is at least 10 times better then any other gelato I have eaten. Now given there have been at most 3 other places I have eaten gelato, I still say it is at least one standard deviation above other gelato providers.
The owners run the facility and have often requested feed back on new gelato flavors and satisfaction in general.
Excellent gelato! Very well made and very delicious. Also love that they have different flavors depending on the day that you go.
Vegan ice cream options that are actually good! Wish they would bring back the coconut curry, it was my favorite :(
Amazing homemade waffle cones. All their variable flavors are great and taste exactly as they name them. I suggest Leonard's chocolate, pistachio, and tiramusù.
This place has really well made small batch gelato and other frozen treats in a bunch of divergent and unique flavors. Make sure to ask for the "I Forgotto" Demi Lovato Avocado Turbinado Gelato Affogato. It doesn't exist, but it's a lot of fun to say.
What can I say about SweetCup that has not been already said. Great staff, good service and tasty product.
Different flavors everyday, made daily and fresh. Icing on the cake friendly staff. Sad I don't remember her name but I walked in and the shop was emptied she kept me company with chit chat.
This is my favorite. I originally tried them through kickin Kombucha and am glad I stopped by. They have the best vegan frozen desserts I have ever tried.
Cute and small venue, they have a nice variety and it taste awesome the ladies that work there are very nice and professional I highly recommend Sweet Cup
Only the best and most original flavored at SweetCup! Great value and unlimited samples...Some of my favorites include their adult choices that include a hint of some of your favorite adult drinks... I promised you have never had gelato this unique and great tasting anywhere else.
Good stuff, well made. The coffee flavors are a bit on the strong side and they need to make vanilla straciatella. Other than that very, very nice. Worth a visit
Nice range of flavors, tastes good, and has a pleasant presentation. That said, it’s also a super small space with overpriced products and stuck up employees. Probably won’t go again
Was really great gelato and good service as well!
Love ther variety of flavors they have, I've had a different kind everytime I've been there, and it has always been excellent, love the house made waffle cones!
So many lovely and unique flavors and friendly staff. Try the stuff that makes you go "hmmm" because it's all delicious! If there's a line/wait, don't panic. It's worth the wait. Instead, play a game and come up with ridiculous ideas for gelato flavors. Today, we came up with the Demi Lovato avocado affogato gelato. There was more, but I forgoto. Just go here already!
I got the Vietnamese coffee and three amigos flavors. They were both delicious. However the cost is pretty Strep.
Great place for Gelato and my favorite Sorbet!
Great, friendly staff, wonderful flavors, always helpful in picking the right flavor to satisfy a craving.
adorable little place, always such a cool rotating selection of flavors! would definitely recommend
Love this gelato!!! They have different flavors every time I go. I also love the waffer that comes with it. Staff is friendly and service was fast!
Best Gelatos! The flavors are so unique!
Good Spot. The worker there took her time to help me through the flavors. Great Customer Service.
Great service. The staff was quiet friendly and nice. My favorite is the coconut sorbet, but really all the flavors are very nice.
Always great and interesting flavors. Soy sauce, rum raisin, amaretto. Very tasty.
Great gelato and super friendly service
Best Gelato and sorbet in town! Guava Cream, Dirty Coconut, are Lavender Tres Leches are my some of my favs.
though the gelato had amazing flavor im disappointed. its was $5 for a scoop. they call it two scoops but its really one.
One of the best ice cream/gelato shops in the city!!
They had vegan flavours that were smooth, creamy, and full of flavour. It is back in the back of the shopping center, but worth hunting out for a cool treat.
Love this little sweet shop. Always delicious options that are different each time.
Every flavor we tasted was delicious. I especially liked Vietnamese coffee and banana pudding.
Lots of great interesting flavors. The Gelato itself was what I would consider as "Good". I wouldn't hesitate going back for more.
Delicious new flavor I tried was the blueberry pie, and oh my, i loved it. They always have fun new flavors so keep checkin with sweetcup.
No better ice cream shop in Houston
Very mellow atmosphere prices are not that bad either
The Gelato was delicious and service was great.
The best gelato I've had in the city of Houston. Not too sweet. Just perfect. The flavors are amazing. Try all.
A great variety of sweet frozen treats and friendly service.
Best Kulfi In Town!!!
The gelato was good (how can it not be?) But the prices and portion size were a little mismatched. Definitely expected more gelato or lower price.
Lots of fun flavors! Been here several times since it's so delicious. Very nice people!
To be fair I haven't gone to this location yet but based on my experiences with the montrose location and knowing the passion and great taste the owner has, I have to give it 5 stars on the strength of them literally never dissapointing me. I'll update after I've visited this location.
If they have it, try the vanilla bean tres leches.
They haven't taken out a restraining order on me yet (I've been a problem since the above flavor was introduced) but it's probably because they now also sell some flavors in whole foods and central market, so I don't have to breathe on the window until they open...kidding! :)
I went with high expectation because of Google score but the ice cream has not singular or anything that deserve a good evaluation. It is not a Italian ice cream.
YUM. I don't know how it took me this long to try Sweet Cup!
I got cookies and cream and my husband got the Nutella s'mores. Cookies and cream had huge chunks of cookies and was delicious, honestly probably the best cookies and cream flavor I've ever had.
The waffles for the cones also had a great flavor, and more importantly in my opinion, texture!
I would like to say you were very professional and your attention to detail in everything you do is amazing. When my friend and I pulled up you were making sure the shop windows were nice and clean. When you walk in, everything is gorgeously presented. This was my first gelato place and I was not disappointed.
As a chef, your gelato has no crystals and it is super silky smooth. Your flavor profile for your creme brulee is on point. When I gave the cookies and creme to my guy, his eyes lit up and he was like this is the best ice cream I've ever had! (He's also not had gelato before)
Thank you and I want your business to have so much more because after escaping to here from Louisiana this was probably the best breath of fresh air!
Only 2 reasons i wont give 5 stars: the lady working seemed annoyed i wasn’t sure what i wanted because it was my first time there and it was slightly overpriced. Otherwise very good and pretty quick service.
Many interesting flavors. My favorites, Dark Haze and Vietnamese Coffee, are less exotic, but oh, so tasty!
Pretty good selection of gelato and the staff is very attentive to food allergies, and not to mention they are some of the nicest people you will meet!!
Amazing taste! And they let you sample any flavor you like. Just ask! Cup size is perfect.
Tried the guava rose gelato. It was delicious! It had so much flavor. Cant wait to try other flavors.
Gelato here is the best in town. Jazz and great coffee make great accompaniment after a graduation or a lazy afternoon.
Great choices! Awesome staff. Very cute atmosphere
Great tasting gelato, good employee was really helpful
Just found out about this place. It's only a block away from my place and now I fear for my waist line.
Ine of my favorite gelato places. Good flavor variety and there is always something new when I come in
nice place, the staff is good. The only drawback that there is no much places to sit. But overall the gelato is good.
so yummy
Great place to hang out and have some fun with friends without the manager being rude and complaining!
The manager is very friendly, welcoming and hospitable!
I would definitely go back there and would recommend this place to my friends!
Really good ice cream. Didn't blow me away but its a solid choice for a quick treat
Interesting flavors and service... Seem to be very popular... Always a long waiting line... But moves quickly... You must give it a try.
Great customer service & great flavors. I totally recommend trying a gelato root beer shake 🤩 …
Oi haven't tried anything here that I haven't liked....don't be afraid of interesting combinations...fig & goat cheese was actually really good!
Cute place. Very nice staff.
Great gelato! Great service! Super clean environment! Great atmosphere! What more can you ask for!
Batch made artisanally, the Italian way. Innovative and delicious flavors. Best gelato in HTX!
Fabulous! Attendants are pleasant, eager to serve. Good explanation of all the products, taste all that you want. Store very bright, neat, well designed.
Yummy Gelato, decent price, kid working there was very friendly we went at night, thanks for letting me sample before we buy!
Great selection of flavors and the cinnamon waffle cones are amazing!
The chocolate and cherry cheesecake are delicious. All the flavors are homemade . Nice staff
Very interesting flavors and desserts. You have to try the frizzante... It's simply deliciously refreshing.
Gelato and sorbets are very good here. Much better than Gelazzi and other gelaterias in Houston. Flavors have a Texas twist and have good consistentcy throughout. Hints of Italian authentic gelato. Will definitely visit again.
Excellent Ice-cream and gelato
Would come back anytime.
Other than the tiramisu, I wasn't impressed w/their selection of flavors
Delicious home made gelato and sorbet. Haven't tried the coffee yet but they have a legit espresso machine
They're experimental flavors are rqnastic. Small gets you 3 flavors for ~ $4.
Great flavors and very friendly staff.
Love this place. Super creative flavors and friendly staff. The black sesame was amazing
Great artsy gelati. Home made with unique flavors like honey beet or rose guava👍🏻 …
Great summer treats in uncommon flavors! They have gelato, sorbet, and frozen yogurt
Great gelato flavors. Bathroom situation is weird, requires a code and you might accidentally walk in on somebody
My GF love this place because they offer non-dairy gelato. Which is very limited in Houston and surrounding areas.
Huge rotating variety of flavors, both classic and experimental. Espresso is great too.
Really good gelato and sorbet, I love their extreme temporary flavors.
Ice cream and sorbet was delicious and the kids loved the waffle cones!
When the vanilla is this good...plain is perfect.
My favorite gelato in houston - the goat cheese , Vietnamese coffee and basil lime are my favorite flavors
Excellent gelato. They have some really exotic flavor combinations for the adventurous.
really yummy gelato and everyone who works here is always super nice
Everything is delicious! Small, relaxed space with outdoor seating when the weather is nice.
I had the best pistachio gelato and raspberry & pina made me want more!
Colin was phenomenal!!! And the King cake gelato is EVERYTHING I've been missing!!!
Great flavors and awesome service!
SweetCup is great! They have a decent selection, with friendly service, and a good amount of space inside and out to sit.
Love the affogato there, the gelato is pretty good too
Friendly, courteous staff; great variety of flavors to select from. Small space has limited seating.
Friendly service and delicious gelato and sorbet made fresh daily, with no artificial ingredients.
One of my favorite places for gelato!!!!!
Very nice treat, we all got something different and every thing was so good.
Great Gelato place in the neighborhood. A little small so don't expect much seating.
Consistently delicious with a great variety of flavors and types of ice cream.
Very honest. Informed us in what ice cream has alcohol and what doesn't. Also ice cream Very tasty.
So so.
id give it more stars, but the service really sucked.

Delicious sorbet and gelato selections. I had the grapefruit lavender which was surprisingly awesome

Best Pomegranate Rose Sorbet Ive ever had!
Super delicious gelato! You won’t be disappointed you stopped in for a treat.

Just got back from Florence and this place really scratched my gelato itch. Best I’ve had in Houston so far.
Unique and delicious variety of sorbet and gelato to excite anyone's palette!

Best ice cream in Houston, no bs ingredients, just as it should be.

The drinks were pretty good, the wifi was stable, and the atmosphere was fun and exciting
Delicious! Especially the ice cream that has alcohol in it !
Nice smooth gelato, some interesting flavours, and great service.
Grapefruit lavender for the WIN. Love the unique flavors they offer.
After just coming back from Italy I was not sure if this could compare, it did!
Supporting a local small business makes the desert taste even better.
Consistently awesome customer service AND gelato every time I visit. Top notch.
The mint gelato is refreshing and the H-town blue moon puts you in friuty heaven.
Italian gourmet gelato hole in the wall. My go to after dinner place in Montrose.
