I happened to be in Plano over the weekend for a conference so since I came this far, I hopped on a bus and scheduled myself for less than 24 hours in Waco! I didn't realize that the #Magnolia properties are closed on Sunday, so I found other fun ways to get the Waco hospitality from the moment I arrived. I was actually glad that I got to see the town for what it is a few days before people traveled there from all over for #Silobration. I look forward to returning to Waco for a longer visit! I found this gem while on a Waco City Tour. They gave the tour participants the choice of coffee or ice cream and we unanimously chose ice cream. This place is so charming and their ice cream is so delicious, I will always return whenever I come back to Waco. I chose a small scoop and that was the perfect amount. While visiting Texas, I had to choose the Brown Butter TX pecan flavor. Having just said that the small was the perfect size, the next time I go back I will probably double up so that I can try more flavors since I don't get there that often. After we got our ice cream we did walk next door to the coffee shop which instantly made me wish I were in college at Baylor because what a cool yard to sit and gather with friends, study, or catch a show! Here's an idea, grab ice cream at Heritage and coffee next door for the best affogato! Can't wait to go back! read more

The waffle cone here was out of this world! We stopped in after a visit to the Silo's. The staff was very welcoming and the 5 of us tried several flavors. Would absolutely go again! read more

This was my third time at Heritage Creamery. I've never had a bad experience. Although I should probably venture out and try new things on their menu, I always come back to the cookie sandwich. Their thick chocolate chip cookies pair perfectly with any of their ice cream flavors. Also, they played really good music when we were there!!!! One of my favorite treats in Waco read more

Yummy! Their ice cream is fabulous! The service was so friendly! She was super sweet and took great care of us. The parking is a bit tricky so be sure to go behind the building where there are more options. Super cute inside and nice and clean. read more

11/10 I go out of my way to get ice cream from Heritage now that I no longer live in Waco. It's phenomenal ice cream. Everyone I bring here has rated it some of the best they've had. I recommend trying their Salty Vanilla and the Brown Butter Pecan but my favorite is the rosemary honey ricotta. read more

This was such a disappointing experience! The staff were snappy and rude, we ended up not even getting anything. Will not be going back!

Such fantastic ice cream! It truly tastes homemade. Really nice location. Quaint inside decor. Very friendly staff. The prices are pretty good too especially for Knott. Not your average ice cream.... You can definitely taste the good ingredients. read more

A great little place with the freshest ice cream around. The coffee flavor was the best that I have had. There is parking behind the building if you can't find a spot in front. A must try if you are at Baylor or just in the area. read more

If you love supporting local businesses and you love ice cream Heritage Creamery will surely be your cup of tea. They are creative with your ice cream flavors and dessert options. My daughter said the waffle cone is the best she's ever tasted. There's different types of seating inside and outside and there's plenty of it. And they have merchandise. If you want to support the brand with their t-shirts, they got you. When I'm in Waco I will surely be back here to try more flavors. read more

This is a must stop in Waco. Cute little space close to Baylor, always nice employees and just excellent, creamy, simple ingredients, ice cream. Brown Butter TX Pecan is my favorite, but last time I had Rosemary Honey Ricotta and it was great as well (you have to love rosemary!) Their cones are delicious as well, but if they don't offer you a cup then ask because they always fall apart. Doesn't matter, they are worth it. read more

This is a great local creamy in Waco! They make all their ice cream and waffle cones in house. I highly recommend half of Butter Brown Texas Pecan and half of Salted Texas Caramel in a waffle cone. They also have daily specials, so be sure to check that out! Will be back again to try an affogato! read more

Had the honey lavender and it was light creamy and perfect to go with my late night tea!

Hands down some of the best ice cream out there. The service is always great, I've never been disappointed. I love the chill environment and cozy style, I would definitely recommend going if you enjoy homemade ice cream. read more

Ethan helped us out tonight, he is a very sweet gentleman. Their pazookies are always good and the service was exceptional!!

No need in long form here. Just outstanding ice cream. Headed there today as a matter of fact.

Excellent cozy spot for your sweet tooth! The warm fresh made waffle cones are incredible!

The service was outstanding and the location perfect and comfy. The ice cream wasn't bad. We think the cooler was a bit too cold so instead of being creamy it was more icy than we prefer. The flavors were all great and we like that it's a locally owned shop. read more

Heritage Creamery is a MUST when in Waco! The coziest ice cream parlor with the most delicious ice cream. I was so excited to find out they even had a dairy free flavor! Their ice cream sandwich was made with fresh chocolate chip cookies! The employee was also so nice and so patient with our three littles who asked to try multiple flavors. I also love the chill ambiance, very relaxing! As mentioned before, you must go at least once if you're visiting the Waco area! read more

Heritage creamery was a great find after enjoying a dinner out. They are located in a cute little historic looking old house. The inside is very inviting and unique. The staff was very friendly. I had the dark chocolate ice cream, which was very creamy and delicious. My daughter enjoyed her chocolate covered banana ice cream, too. read more

Very good ice cream. Some were a little gritty, but the sea salt caramel was smooth, creamy and great. Other family members enjoyed the blueberry and the dark chocolate. Cute little shop and we enjoyed the story of their ice cream, the products they use and all made at that location. We did not try their baked goods, but were told they were very good. The service was friendly and we enjoyed interacting with her. Great experience. read more

Ice cream was okay. The texture was a bit too icy and not creamy enough. The staff was friendly though and the vibe was super relaxed. read more

Heritage Creamery - a hand holding a cone of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Waco, Texas

Great pit stop on my drive from Austin to Dallas. Got the salted caramel and the grapefruit and honey ice creams in a cone. The salted caramel was phenomenal, rich, sweet, and creamy. The grapefruit was a little bitter (especially compared to the caramel) and could've used more honey but still refreshing and good. The cone was delicious but very thin and brittle. I usually get my ice cream in a cup but couldn't resist the fresh homemade cones, and it was worth it. Server was friendly and efficient despite working alone and there being a line. Plenty of tables open to sit down and enjoy the ice cream. I probably won't find myself in Waco anytime soon, but if I do, I would definitely return. Accidentally drove past the parking lot in the back but parked in the Baylor parking structure next door and walked over and didn't get a ticket, so idk if that is allowed or not, but it worked for me. read more

My first time visiting and so worth it!!! Food is FANTASTIC!!! Service was amazing. And the ambiance was warm and homey... read more

A highlight of our time in Waco. Most things close in Waco on a Sunday, so this was our big activity Sunday after dinner. The employees were all very friendly and warm Baylor students. We felt most welcome and not rushed at all as we tried 5 or 6 samples. My wife noticed the chocolate chip cookies. So she got one on top of her cookie stratiatella ice cream. I returned to the counter and bought three more chocolate chip cookies to go. I had the waffle cone and the rye, and brown butter pecan flavors of ice cream. Just really fresh ingredients. But the waffle cone stood out and was soft and the highlight of my whole cone. Definitely worth a visit if you are stopping in Waco for Magnolia. read more

Yum! Am I an ice cream connoisseur? No. But do I know some really good ice cream when I have it? Yes. Cute, clean and comfortable locations. Super friendly staff. And the ice cream is so delicious with awesome and seasonal flavors. Highly recommend the salted caramel and lemon blueberry. I'd drive to Texas for this ice cream. read more

A Sweet Local Gem - Right next to Common Grounds Coffee and across from Baylor University, Heritage Creamery is a fantastic local ice cream spot. With its charming vibe and creamy, flavorful ice cream, it's a perfect treat. The friendly staff and inviting atmosphere make it a great place to enjoy a scoop or two. read more

Very cute spot right on Baylor campus. Unique flavors. Dog friendly. We had the panhandle - big enough for 2-3.

Stopped by for a quick ice cream after walking around campus and wasn't disappointed! We ordered two scoops of the dark chocolate and duck fat caramel. Dark chocolate was our favorite! The person working was really nice and gave us a couple of healthy scoops. The shop itself was clean and quiet. Loved the wood all over and bench seating in the front windows. read more

Talk about a fun college town! Baylor U. houses some really fun places near their campus, and Heritage being one of them. In these COVID-19 days where social distancing is really important, I appreciated that the ice cream shop was clean and spacious compared to some ice cream shops. There were plenty of seating and the staff were all super friendly. Note to those who are sticklers of COVID safety guidelines, I noticed that the staff were not wearing gloves when handling the ice cream and homemade waffle cones! They do make their waffle cones fresh in house!...and several batches at a time!! They are so light and crispy that they often break apart easily, so handle with care! IMO, it was a bit too thin for my liking, but I still really liked it. I will say their ice cream is less creamy, milky based, and more water based. It offered a lighter, more refreshing taste...but weirdly, it left a waxy after taste in your mouth. Nonetheless, it was a refreshing treat after a long day of shopping in Waco! read more

The ice cream here is amazing and made from fresh, local ingredients which is important to me. The service was friendly and the atmosphere very relaxing. Definitely our new favorite ice cream place. read more

The ice cream here is not very creamy, although they have an eclectic variety of ice cream. My son got the skillet cookie, which was probably the best thing that we had. I got two scoops of ice cream, but probably would not go back for ice cream at this place. read more

Very cool ice cream store at the edge of Baylor University. Loved all the flavors and the students working there are very friendly. We tried a bunch of samples before deciding.

We pulled up to this beautiful little ice cream shop, famous among coworkers and friends for producing delicious and inventive flavors of ice cream. The flavors did not disappoint! And the young man that helped us out was a joy! He gave us some pretty awesome history of the place for a bit before our 6 year old interrupted him, asking whether they had vanilla. :D We sampled nearly every flavor; and with 5 people in our group, we ended up with cones and cups of: brown butter pecan, strawberry balsamic, cowboy coffee, rosemary honey ricotta, mojito, salted caramel, and sweet cream with chocolate chips. All of the flavors were delicious, but I REALLY enjoyed mine: the rosemary honey ricotta and the cowboy coffee. The only thing: the fresh crisp warm cones began to fail before I made it past my top scoop, so I had to quickly glean my husband's empty cup. So I would recommend placing a cone on top of your scoops in a cup. :D read more

I stopped by looking for a good dessert spot before heading to the hotel. The place had a cute exterior and an equally charming interior. I ordered a few desserts, but shortly after sitting down, a staff member informed everyone that they were closing, so I ended up eating in the car. Unfortunately, the shake was watery and lacked flavor, the snickerdoodle cookie had a noticeable refrigerator taste, and the blueberry ice cream was decent but nothing exceptional. (Hours on Yelp don't match the establishment. Several customers pulled in while we were eating and were turned away.) read more

My family and I stopped here while on a cross country road trip and absolutely loved it! I had 2 scoops of the dark chocolate & mint chip and their mint ice cream is the best thing I've ever had! It tastes like it was made from sweet mint fresh from the garden. The dark chocolate was also delicious. My daughter loved her chocolate chip and my husband enjoyed his lemon blueberry & other flavor that I think was honey something. The employees were also so friendly and the shop is cute with plenty of room to sit. read more

Absolutely delicious! I went with Brown Bear and the hubs went with Salry Vanilla Bean. So so good and I'm a bit of an ice cream snob.
