Very delicious gelato from SweetCup! The staff was very friendly and willing to give out samples of different flavors. I got a medium cup with three flavors: raspberry Nutella, orange blossom pistachio, and fig and goat cheese. All three were excellent, but the raspberry was my favorite. I would definitely recommend trying this place, and would go back again! read more

SweetCup - Gelato: raspberry Nutella, orange blossom pistachio, fig and goat cheese - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

So many flavors to choose from and really good gelatos! It was busy but the service was fast.

Oh man... the phrase "everything is bigger in Texas" definitely applies here! This place very well might have set a new record for largest servings of gelato I have ever received. And to think their large size gives you THREE scoops of any kind of flavour they have? OMG! I still can't get over how flavourful, tasty and amazing this gelato was, especially with a waffle cookie that accompanied the gelato. It's also VERY cold too, which is very important, especially in a place like Houston! I also found the prices here to be quite reasonable for the amount of gelato you are served. The area is not necessarily the best but nothing out of the ordinary. Will I be back here? Hell yeah I will! This place rocks! read more

Great customer services! The gentleman was helpful with this being our first time visiting. We decided to try the Orange sherbet and lemon sherbet. Lui purchased a small chocolate a small cookie and cream and a small butter pecan. The cookie and cream was my top best choice. Plenty of parking and offers outdoor seating. read more

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. read more

Absolutely love this place for their gelatos. Their pistachio gelato is out of this world. In fact the best pistachio gelato out there. I also love the milk chocolate and vanilla. They have some unique flavors like wasabi, Vietnamese coffee etc. This used to be our go to place for gelatos during the three years that I lived in Houston, and when we visited again made sure to have it! read more

I stopped in for my #YelpEliteTreat and decided to go all in with 3 flavors. I picked Caramel Butter Swirl, Birthday Cake (contains gluten), and Goat Cheese (Cheese Cake). I found out that this particular store has been here NINE YEARS! They just celebrated their birthday in February! The gelato was creamy and fresh tasting, also came with a waffle cone chip. I paired my gelato with a cappucino that was made and prepared fresh in front of me. Apparently this location has had some trouble with people trying to break in. They had several safety measures in place to thwart those trying to steal a sweet treat - good for them! Overall everything was great and if you're in the area and have a craving for sweets, but not as much fat as ice cream - swing on by! They're friendly, nice and they serve delicious gelato! read more

Came here with some friends yesterday for the first time in a while. As always, was not disappointed with any of the flavors I got! I had the key lime cilantro, grapefruit lavender, lavender honey tres leches, and coconut passionfruit. My favorites were the grapefruit lavender and coconut passionfruit. I always get the medium (up to 4 flavors, $5.25) or large (up to 5 flavors, $6.25) because I feel like the small (up to 3 flavors, $4.25) is a bit expensive. Looking forward to returning for the goat cheese or kulfi flavors! read more

Service was great. It's was delicious and I like that they are open late. Also like how it's organic and preservatives.

Did you know "gelato" means "frozen" in Italian? I had no idea. Derp. Well, aside from learning that fun fact at Sweet Cup, I also learned they make some delicious, unique and down right bomb ass flavors! Bananas fosters was my favorite, and close second is the Texas Kulfi. I'm gonna go back and buy a few pints to take to my parents house. It takes just like chai tea. The owner Jasmine is super friendly and very innovative with her flavors! Apple Champagne? Rose Milk? Dirty coconut? I'm a fan. Pop in, sample some gelato, then either enjoy your selections there or maybe pop into Woodbar next door to top off those scoops with rum or whiskey. read more

I came with my family a whole hour and half before closing yet the staff seemed as if we were inconveniencing them. They locked the restrooms and wouldn't allow us use them. The rude staff directed us to go to the gas station to use the restroom. I usually do not leave reviews however the experience with the staff warranted one. I will not return. read more

Cute shop but some flavors are way too sweet. However, the gelato and ice cream flavors are delicious overall. I would just taste a few before buying--but who doesn't do that anyway?! Lol read more

Honestly one of the best (if not the best), gelato places in Houston. They rotate their incredibly large selection of flavors that it's pointless for me to tell you what I even got. Well that's actually the magic right there; no matter what assortment they have, you're likely to find a flavor that you like. They have typical standard flavors but also a handful of unique ones too. While I didn't like some, there were a few that were extremely good. Unfortunately I don't remember them anyway so I can't tell you which ones they were. The gelato itself is quite smooth and dense, just how gelato should be. Each proclaimed flavor is pronounced very well throughout each delicious bite. When we were there they had a special with some cold brew and my friends essentially got a gelato float (for like $7 or something?). In retrospect I should've gotten one too. Actually it's sort of like an affogato if you think on it a bit. In any case, parking was horrendous but we did go on a Saturday afternoon. I found street parking but good luck with that. Servers were kind and patient (I tried a dozen flavors) and were willing to share their favorites too (some of which weren't even available because of that rotation at that time though, haha). In any case, gelato is pricey, but I found it borderline fair. 9/10, would definitely come again and would definitely recommend to a friend. read more

Very small shop but awesome unique flavors and dessert options. I had my free elite 2-3 scoops which included the waffle piece. I chose the blood orange, rose, and honey almond ? They were all delicious and surprisingly not too sweet. There's limited seating inside and outside. Come by & get some cool great flavors! Be bold! They won't let you try the flavors btw. read more

I tried the 3 Amigos (chocolate/pb), Pistachio, and Goat Milk gelatos. I always forget that gelato is so smooth and creamy, compared to ice cream. Sweet Cup's gelato was exactly that: smooth, creamy, and delicious. The little waffle cone chip that came in the scoop cup was also delicious. The small scoop is the perfect size for one person. My only regret was that I saw the Malai Kulfi flavor AFTER I already ordered. Service was speedy and friendly- I forgot my credit card there, and they found a way to contact me. Will definitely be back! read more

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 flavors rotates every now and then. I wouldn't mind coming back here again to try some of the new flavors. read more

Back in 2010, I spent a month studying abroad in Venice. It was one of the best months of my life, hands down. Part of my Italy experience was my gelato addiction. I sometimes would get my fix three times a day so it's good I don't live their permanently. Ever since, I've always had a special place in my heart for gelato. Which makes visiting a place like SweetCup a treat, pun intended. I stopped by SweetCup on a Sunday during COVID times. They're located in a shopping center and parking wasn't an issue. One of the nice things about ice cream spots in general is free samples. Because of the coronavirus, samples weren't allowed and I appreciate their attention to safety. SweetCup has a bajillion rotating flavors which is music to anyone's ears who's all about the variety like me. I went with a two-scoop waffle cone with Nutella and huckleberry. Quality gelato for a guy who was daydreaming about Italy. read more

Walked in and it was moderately crowded. There was a steady stream of folks coming in the entire time i was there. Okay! The flavors are just ridiculously awesome. Seriously! It's like a punch in the mouth of yummy goodness! They have 4 types of ice cream which are color coded. Taste any flavor you want. I settled on a small which included one or two flavors. I chose 2 duh! I don't know if I could have done anymore because the flavors are so rich! Dreamy!!! Ice cream is made here in Houston. Over 200 rotating recipes. I hear they distribute to Whole Foods. So like can I buy it in a half gallon there? Guess I need to check. I try not to eat a lot of ice cream, but this place will sick out in my mind 100% when I get the craving!!! read more

I love an ice cream shop. It would have to be absolutely horrible to get a bad review on me. Okay so this place is located on Montrose Blvd between Hawthorne street and Alabama in a yellowish shopping center. We decided to go after dinner one night. The line was pretty long. But like I always say. If the line is long, they're doing something right. They have multiple favors, but it's no so many to where you're overwhelmed and forgot which one you tasted. They have cones and cups. In the cups. You get a piece of the cone. Which is nice. Seating is outside. They're might be a few tables inside as well. They have a parking lot that is shared with the business center that it is in. Cute and delicious. read more

Sweet cup is our favorite place for ice cream in Houston! They offer at least 4 sorbet flavors (dairy free!) and are constantly changing the available flavors! The vibes inside are always good. Even when it gets crowded, I would highly recommend waiting. It is absolutely worth it! There are also some chairs and tables inside and outside of the building. Plenty of parking available outside the shop too! read more

So good. Friendly staff, great selection and limited time flavors, easy parking, delicious.

This place is awesome. It's a local Houston spot which is great, the staff is friendly and very helpful and they offer a ton of unique flavors. I got the horchata and the milk chocolate and it was fantastic. The waffle cones/bowls are also really good. Definitely recommend this place for dessert. It's worth a 20 minute drive easily imo. read more

Im always super thrilled with SweetCup. I've only been to the Montrose location twice now. I usually go to the Ella location as it's much closer. I've had friendly service at both locations, but Montrose tends to get exclusive flavors. The vanilla bean tres leches and horchata flavors are my favorite, especially together. They have a great selection of both unique and classic flavors. They sell some pre packaged ice creams as well. read more

I've had mixed experiences here. The first time was absolutely amazing. I loved the incredible gelato, especially the Stracciatella (not to be confused with Scratchy Ate Ella, a movie about a cat named Scratchy eating a mouse named Ella). And the bourbon caramel, the pomegranate, and to lesser extent the Guava. The famous Kulfi flavour did not do it for me. New paragraph. Voice dictation ftw. Subsequent trips have not been as amazing. Possibly because I'm comparing it to the stuff that I found in Chinatown. Gelato Cup (amazing) and Frozen Cafe (one of the best I've ever had). The funniest thing that happened to me here was recently when I came across a Yelper that I knew and recognized from his check in. He was with about 5 different girls so I told him that he was the Yelp Superstar which he really is. And they all giggled. I was totally his wingman without him even knowing me. However, a little bit less funny, or more, depending on your proclivities, was that I had walked in on one of the girls a few minutes earlier in the bathroom. My bad. The lock doesn't work very well. Not my fault. I did not, as some reports suggested, use a stanley knife to access the women's bathroom stall when occupied. On the contrary, it's unisex. Speaking of unisex, those Rice boys. read more

Lots of flavors to choose from. Can try up to 5 flavors, can pick up to 2 flavors for the small cup. Got a small cup of the hazelnut and pistachio, my friend got the rose and strawberry. The gelato flavors are strong, which I loved for most of them, except the Rose was very overpowering. The gelato itself was on the lighter side, wasn't as creamy and smooth as some other places. Service was great, plenty of parking in the front. read more

Nice little spot to try gelato or sorbet. I'm vegan so I can only have sorbet since the gelato contains milk. I tried sampling the key lime, pomegranate rose and vegan chocolate flavors. They were all delicious. I settled on the pomegranate rose in a small. I paid approximately 4.25 for a small. I forgot how many ounces but a small was filling. They make this fresh all locally by the owner. The sales clerk was very friendly and recommended great options. Check them out! read more

Clean store, nice staff. Gelato tastes like a bland ice cream, and is missing flavor. Sampled a few different ones, and none were impressive. Pricy for the quality, ice cream tasted of freezer burn, did not taste freshly made. read more

The flavors here are pretty unique and they all taste amazing the cashier informed us we could all taste 3 flavors and between myself and my friends, we tried them all.

The cashier also offered us a waffle piece for free which was great read more

Get yourself to Sweet Cup when you get the chance!! They have creamy rich flavors of gelato and sorbet unlike any other. The staff is patient while you ask to try half of the flavors. I got the small cup which was plenty for me. Reading some of the other comments I noticed flavors that were previously mentioned were not displayed when we went. This is probably due to the season or they really do change it up frequently. One thing though, when I checked in on Yelp I received a discount for any gelato purchased. This however was not honored by the cashier. She said it had been discontinued for weeks. In that case I would suggest removing the offer from popping out upon checking in. read more

Cute place. Quiet neighborhood and shopping center. Gelato tastes great. I like their unique and tastey flavors that change every weekend I go. I'm a fan. My recommendation to management, this place is the temperature inside the store as it is outside, almost. How can you open an ice cream shop in Houston and not go all out on a strong AC ??!! The minute I sit down to eat my ice cream it starts to melt because it's so warm inside. I have complained but nothing has been done. read more
