    Hawaiian Avalanche With Almond Milk
    Steve A.

    Best place in Parma for ice cream. It has an endless amount of good flavors. Zero Zest always seems to have a long line at the window. For sure it's worth waiting awhile. They have mix ins and lots of non dairy selections. A specialty here is the Avalanche. It mixes in candy or fruit with any ice cream. There's almost unlimited combinations you can make. It's about $5 for a medium cup. They have a vegan vanilla ice cream flavor that can also be used. It's made with almond milk. This place is very good for vegans and they also have a few sorbets. It always has long lines but they are fast. It used to be just cash only. They now accept credit cards so they have slightly updated.

    Good service, friendly and reasonable prices. Large assortment of choice and nice find away from Houston.

    Cherry dipped cone

    The best cherry dipped vanilla cone there ever was. A staple stop in the summertime. So many options on the menu!

    I ordered the Turtle Avalanche. It was amazing. This place deserves more than five stars. The are quick. And friendly. The line was 20 people deep. But they moved it quickly. This place also offers vegan free and soy free ice cream made with Almond milk. You can't go wrong here.

    Chocolate Brownie Avalanche - highly recommend!

    I have loved this place since I was a kid. Is it nostalgia? Maybe a bit but honestly, there's a reason it's popular - just look at the lines during the summer. It's mostly a soft serve place with loads of cone options, avalanches (think dairy queen blizzard but better), shakes, etc. My go-to has been and will always be a chocolate brownie avalanche. Chocolate soft serve with delicious brownies, I always ask that they layer instead of mixing...the brownie pieces are larger and so so much better. But honestly I've sampled a decent chunk of the menu and have never been dissatisfied, there's something for everyone. They now have small cups for the avalanches and I find that to be more than enough. At under $4 you can't beat it. Great on hot days or just when you have a craving. Be sure to read the fact of the day located to the left of the left window, they're always interesting!

    Though in plain sight, it's a hidden treasure for those who don't/can't have dairy. On top of regular dairy ice cream treats, they offer Silk almond milk ice cream products. I ordered the butterfinger avalanche with almond milk. Delicious! Never thought I would be able to go somewhere and have a " DQ blizzard" styled treat again. The ice cream was a normal consistency of regular ice cream where sometime things with almond milk are a little watery. And they are far from skimpy with the toppings. I had a lot of butterfinger in every bite. It never made it home! Highly recommended. Especially for those tired of "plain Jane" ice cream because of allergies.

    New to the neighborhood and was recommended to try Zero Zest which I was told is under new management. I was impressed when I saw they had vegan ice cream, so I had to give it a try. The service was great. With Zero Zest being on the same street as another local ice cream competitor that gets a lot of praise I am glad to say that Zero Zest gives them a run for their money. They have some similarities, but what makes Zero Zest is their unique styles of ice cream and variety. I look forward to coming back

    Dairy free options

    Vegan almond milk vanilla ice cream is great. Can add in plenty of items to mix it up.

Mason's Creamery is…read morea quaint little shop tucked away in Ohio City ... clearly a neighborhood staple, but such a wonderful discovery for us. The staff were just as bright and refreshing as the ice cream itself ... welcoming us with smiles from the moment we walked in. Now let's talk about this dangerously addictive dessert. You can choose a cup, cone, or bubble waffle, and I absolutely recommend the waffle. They make them fresh to order, and it takes the whole experience to another level....pssst. it was warm folks The flavor selection is creative and unique, with vegan options available as well. Even better, they use no gums, artificial flavors, or stabilizers ...and you can truly taste the difference. We tried the Blueberry Latte, Honey Cornbread, Marzipan, and Strawberries & Cream... and every single one was out of sight. And as if the ice cream wasn't enough, they also do an incredible job with ramen and Korean corn dogs. Surely recommend. Definitely worth the visit.

    A couple of months ago, I finally had the opportunity to try the ramen from here! BF and I took my…read moresis and her hubby here and we got 3 of their ramen bowls and 1 spicy cold noodles. In the winter months, they seal up their tent in the back and you can eat at their picnic benches. Still chilly in there but at least not windy! No matter when I come here, there are a lot of people. The lines were long but became even longer after we ate. I liked the taste of my spicy cold noodles but the portion was pretty small and I had no other veggies or toppings besides scallions. It was a bit sour for my taste so I would've preferred more sesame oil than vinegar. Everyone else's ramen bowl was okay for the portion filled up with broth. I thought the price was kind of high for what you get and the taste was between okay and good. It wasn't as authentic or flavorful as I was expecting. Fine to have experienced it but now that I have, I'm good.

The place smells AMAZING and is frankly intoxicating I am convinced if you were considering not getting something or a small of something that smell inside the place intoxicates you to where moderation goes out the window.

Both were wonderful (but mine was better). Someone nearby got a sundae that looked divine. Lmk when those air fresheners come out.

I believe it's in an old movie theater, and repurposed buildings are always fun. I remember enjoying my ice cream the first time I came by back in 2018 or 2019, and I finally made it back today. The place still looks as new/clean as ever, and I like that their menu clearly illustrates the number of scoops/flavors allowed. Today I opted for a split single of fresh strawberry and mint chocolate chunk. I'm usually quite a chocolate snob (flakes all the way, frozen chips are the worst!) and the chocolate in the mint was pleasant despite being a "chunk"!
