    Soft serve was good, it was unfortunate that they ran out of sample cups so we had to order on a whim and hoped that we liked it. I ordered the Thai tea/ube swirl and early grey in a cup. I enjoyed these flavors but feel like it could be better. The ube was strong but the Thai tea was a bit lacking. When you try them together, ube completely overpowers it. Service was decent, cashier was there to take our orders but really didn't offer exceptional service. My friends ordered their soft serve on cones and felt like it was meh. Soft serves melted real quick so the cones became soggy. There was also a weird aftertaste from the cones, can't pinpoint what it was. Overall, good experience to try but not sure if I would actively come back. Seems like it's more for aesthetics rather than taste

    An overall average dessert spot. We came for ice cream, and based on the limited number of flavors available a few of our friends decided not to get anything. My friend and I shared the charcoal pineapple & vanilla, and the ice cream itself was pretty good, while I would say the pineapple had a stronger flavor than anything else, and the cone was just ok. In our opinion, the prices were pretty high. With so many options for dessert nearby, I'm not sure if we will be back to this one.

    Nestled in a side unit within Sterling Plaza, Bae has answered the calls of soft serve lovers everywhere since their hyped debut several years ago. The recent heat waves have resulted in good business for the frozen treats industry and my visits to Bae have been more frequent than ever. Their arrival has also set off a string of similar bizes that also specialize in trendy, hip, (albeit) franchised spots in the same vicinity. The visibility for Bae would have been my initial concern but the crowds have been flocking to the area still and their reputation has stayed consistent overall. The place is small but has some communal seating and fairly clean bathrooms. The contemporary, IG friendly decor is a hit with the millennial and gen z crowd, and families are definitely getting in on the action as well. Ventilation is good for obvious reasons (#1) and it's become a good post meal dessert option. As for the ice cream itself, I think they definitely have one of the better soft serve options in town. Unfortunately like most soft serve, it doesn't travel well and should be consumed on the spot. I have liked all of their signature combos, particularly anything ube and even something simple like vanilla is still fire. Service hasn't always been their forte, but they're young and get the job done. I appreciate that they have a loyalty card and I also like that they aren't pushy about what ice creams to get. I do wish they were better about cleaning the tables. Of course, none of the items come cheap, but this is the wrong place for anything affordable dessert wise. Overall, I like Bae. I've become a regular and I always know what to expect whenever I come here: Good, temp reducing, satisfying, soft serve ice cream. ___________ (#1) Can't have the ice cream melting now ...

    Fruity pebbles & Cinnamon Toast Crunch

    Best. Ice. Cream. In. Houston. Boujee decorations inside and on your dessert. Their swirl mixed flavors are so damn good. I don't have a huge sweet tooth but they just hit the spot every time. Service is always quick. Staff is friendly. The have a stamp card, so make sure to grab one since you'll definitely be coming back!

    Cute little restaurant. I love how there is a giant shared table in the middle and like a bar area that looks out onto the sidewalk so that you can people watch as others walk by. The taste of the ice cream was the same as your traditional soft serve ice cream. The cone is just colored but taste the same as a regular cone your by in the store. Your going to this location simply for esthetics and vibes. Just a good place to simply chill with friends and take cute photos. Staff was very polite and helpful. For those wondering, I got the earl grey vanilla swirl soft serve. It really did taste just like earl grey tea.

    Such unique flavors. I had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and fruity pebbles swirl. The texture was light and the ice-cream seemed to melt quickly. The topping could have been more crumbly, it made the treat difficult to eat. The staff was helpful in making suggestions and describing the flavors. Inside is ultra modern with a good vibe that matches the style of the food. Worth a visit.

    I'm not a huge fan of ice cream but I'll crave it from time to time. I decided to get the charocol flavor and I do not regret one bit. I also added some sprinkles to it and I thought it was cute. The decor is really nice and the employees were also very friendly and recommended some great flavors to us!

    Altubae
    Hayley F.

    My cone of Altubae was super slim as compared to the ones in their menu. I was expecting to get what I saw in the menu. High expectation = high disappointment. Thai tea overpowered Ube. Couldn't taste any Ube flavor at all. Matcha cone tasted flat, and the cone was soft, thus not crunchy like any other ice cream parlors. Paid extra for the edible gold hearts just for aesthetic purpose. It was tasteless by the way. Overall not worth the money.

    I am addicted to the Mixed Feelings. I love this place for a quick, sweet treat. Service is always quick and the establishment is so clean and cute!

    There are few things I have the energy to do after eating Korean barbecue, and I will never turn down the opportunity to eat ice cream. The Altubae is a dream, what's not to like about swirled Thai tea and ube in a charcoal cone? With added pocky, edible silver stars, and gold leaf, there is no excuse. I arrived before closing and the team working didn't make me feel like they resented my friends and I for breathing, so I'll happily return. There was still a sizable crowd, but nothing overwhelming. The vibe is chill, very casual, and decor is modern and minimalistic without feeling like a mausoleum.

    Ever since Twisted Love left Chinatown, I have been on the hunt for a good soft serve spot and Bae seems to be a worthy competitor! We stopped by for a snack on a Saturday evening before picking up ingredients for dinner at H mart next door. We settled on the charcoal pineapple and vanilla soft serve in a cup. The soft serve was definitely on the pricier side, so we didn't opt for any toppings. They do have a wide selection of toppings if you're interested, including edible gold leaf! It was pretty tasty. I especially liked the vanilla flavor but both paired very well together. Next time I would like to try the Thai Tea and Ube flavor. The soft serve was a little on the icier side and not as creamy as I had hoped. Overall, this is a good soft serve spot, though on the more expensive side. I would try it again if I were back in the area.

    Came right like 30 minutes before closing. I wasn't too familiar with the flavors but I tried the Altubae which was a combo of Thai Tea and Ube- great safe choice if you've never been to Bae. We weren't able to get toppings because it was right before closing which we found odd but didn't fight it. Very cute shop and would come back if I'm in the area

    Mixed Feelings + Watermelon Sundae
    Dara A.

    10/10! Me & my girls decided dessert after a bite of lunch at Tamashi & one recommended Bae! You're able to have a sample of any of the flavors together or separate! I had the Mixed Feelings + Watermelon Sundae. Watermelon Sundae was a refreshing taste, and our fave! The Pegasus was also yummy, def tasted like breakfast. IG: @eatgoodtx Tiktok: @abidaremii

Love the creativity and highly suggest sampling all of them They will typically have at least 1 non dairy options, but for all my lactose intolerant people out there, I found it super interesting that they also SELL LACTASE at the front checkout !! Never seen this before in my entire life and I feel that this is so helpful and also kind of funny

    We were craving a late night dessert after leaving East River 9 so we stopped at milk + sugar…read more Overall, great service but not much to be impressed about. Side note you'll need a code to use their restroom. I ordered the split cup of Strawberry Almond Cheesecake and Dulce de Horchata. I felt that the portion could've been slightly more generous than below the rim of the cup, but I suppose the price is reasonable. I guess it's hit or miss like at Marble Slab. The cheesecake flavor was okay not overpowering, which I would've preferred more than the almond and strawberry. I think I wasn't impressed with it because the server scooped more of the graham crust than ice cream. I'm pretty sure that's another reason I didn't particularly care for their cheesecake. The horchata was nice with hints of cinnamon and with the split cup made it taste even better.
