This is hands down my favorite authentic Mexican ice cream shop on this side of town. I've met the owner a few times and he's very nice and so are all of his employees. They have a lot of seating so you're never cramped up waiting for a seat and it's also a big locale so it rarely gets too crowded. I've tried various menu items their fresas con crema are great, the tostilocos are pretty good, and the nachos are a solid choice. Their paletas are great and the aguas frescas are super refreshing and delicious. My go to order however is always their ice cream, cookies and cream or gansito are my go toos. It's good quality ice cream and they aren't stingy with their portions. If you haven't already, I'd recommend stopping by! read more

Acana. People think I've had work done (on my ice cream, so to speak), but I have Natural Ice Cream if you know what I mean. Definitely some of the greatest Paletas and ice cream we have ever tried, and it just takes paletas to the next level. I can't quite describe how amazing they are - it's just too good to be true. There are Mexican dessert shops and then there is this place. They kind of ruined paletas for us because we really like Mexican popsicles and we get them all the time, and a lot of places we think make them really well, but then we tried this place, and by comparison to this place there are really no good paleta shops. That's how good they are. We're talking about some of the very very best paletas that you will ever eat. The Mexicans really know how to make their fruit Popsicles with chunks of fruit and delicious fresh ingredients, and this is the perfect example of just how good they can be. They have amazing ice cream products too, but it's the fruity Paletas that are always the standout here. They're a little more expensive than you probably imagined and will cost you $3 or so for each one, but it's well worth it, and they are otherworldly in terms of taste. It's run by a very friendly family, and they're looking to expand to a couple more locations, and we can only hope that all of their locations will have these incredible amazing standards for desserts. I'm going for paletas, you can come, do you WANNA? You said you maybe would, so decide, are you GONNA? Popsicles might be fun, but Paletas are FUNNER Especially when you get them here at MICHOACANA!

Paletas and ice cream are decent but the pricing is pretty crazy. One small scoop for $4, and one freezer burned paleta cost $4 as well. You can drive a little further down 1960 heading towards 45 and find other small Mexican ice cream spots that do the same size scoop or same paletas for $2.50 or so and they will taste better too. read more

Apparently all the ice cream here is made in the store. How awesome is that. The owners are super nice and cool. They had Man of steel (superman) playing in the background while we ate our ice cream which was fun. They had close to 16 different flavors - all of which were really good. It's not cheap, but seriously you can taste the quality. They also will let you try a few flavors too. They also had ice cream bars but we didn't try those. Facility is pretty darn clean which is nice. Even the restrooms - we took a visit there to wash my and my kid's hands. You won't be disappointed. Quality ice cream. Cool owners. read more

I loved this place, their ice creams are delicious, the flavors are very original, it's super clean and the staff is great; however, I had an awkward experience with one gentleman that I believe must be one of the owners: I have been to many ice cream shops and gelaterias around the world and I have always found pride in business owners when customers try their different flavors before making a decision. When my wife and I arrived at Michoacana Auténtica, we were amazed by their selection of unusual flavors, we asked for few samples and the staff was nice in giving us tiny samples (which is common practice in gelato/ice cream shops), when I asked about another flavor, this gentleman looked at my hand, I was holding four tiny spoons from previous tastings, looked at me and said that he will only give me one more tasting. I don't know, it was very awkward, I didn't know what to say and how to react. My wife looked at me, we ordered two medium ice-creams (two flavors each), enjoyed them and left the place with a "sour taste" about the whole experience. A cultural shock? Perhaps other customers have abused him before? A company's policy different than what others do? Or was he in a bad mood that day? The tiny amounts on each sample certainly did not cut into their profits... Poor customer appreciation I think... read more

La Michoacana Auténtica receives 5 stars all around for the food/drinks, the service and the ambiance. We got a variety of items and everything tasted so fresh and flavorful! The owners were serving the food and taking orders and everything was done from scratch. One of the things I ordered was bionico and they prepared it right in front of me with fresh fruit. They keep their establishment clean and the vibe I got from the owners was very pleasant. They are very nice and were patient with all the stuff we ordered lol. We went during a busy time (holiday) and because they prepare certain items from scratch, there can be a little wait, but not too bad. I definitely recommend this place for a family outing.

La Michoacana is very Auténtica! I have tried several paletas and some ice cream, and every single bite was delicious and amazing! They make their products in the store, and you can really taste the freshness and top quality ingredients. The first time I tried their lime paleta, I thought it tasted different from what I'm used to. Then I realized that it wasn't full of artificial sweeteners and colors and chemicals like you would find on the grocery store shelf. This paleta hasn't been living in a freezer for months on end. It's made with fresh and real ingredients and sold soon after. All of the paletas I have tried have been wonderful. The fruit ones are full of fruit bits and taste like real fruit. The guava is really good, and I don't even like guava. I tried the caramel, and it was amazing. It was so creamy and smooth with a rich flavor of caramel. I can't wait to try more milky paletas. Their ice creams are also really fresh and delicious. I love this place! I try to come every time I'm shopping near here. They have so many flavors that I still want to try. Also, the people working here are super nice. This is a must try! read more

This is a true mom and pop shop! My family and I showed up 30 minutes before closing. The service was still spectacular! Showed us all the favorites and let us try some before ordering. I am typically skeptical of "homemade" ice cream because they are usually super sweet and end up not really being home made. But after tasting their ice cream.. I can confidently say they make the ice cream themselves! The mango flavor actually tasted fresh. The pistachio flavor actually had some pistachio pieces in there. The caramel macchiato was creamy and my fiance favorite. Their prices are also super affordable! I feel like they are under charging for the sizes of the scoops and quality of their desserts. 100% recommended to anyone and everyone! read more

After many visits and knowing I am always going to leave with at least one pint, I finally read the remarkable article about the founder/owner. She studied gelato at university in Italy!! Wow, what a cool topic to study and it shows her commitment, devotion, and skills which all go into the wonderful flavors at SweetCup! She experiments with different flavors, cultural flairs, and combinations. The location has seating inside for about 10 people and outside patio tables with chairs for another 10 people. Free parking right in front is always a bonus. See you there!

The surrounding area might look a bit skeptical, but don't let that stop you from coming inside…read more Sweet Cup is a cute place with yummy ice cream! Very unique flavors! Staff are friendly and helpful. They have a huge parking lot. Seating is limited, but they have indoor and outdoor seating. I always try to stop here for a cup if I am nearby!

That alone made the experience feel thoughtful and welcoming. They are also open late, which I loved. I had already dined in the area, so this ended up being the perfect post dinner treat. I have been here before, but it had been a long time, and it was great to return and enjoy it again. The ambience was warm and inviting, and the overall environment made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. I ordered a kid's cup, and it was honestly the perfect amount. Anything larger would have been too much for me, so the price point felt very fair for the portion and quality. I also tried the macaron and the tea. Both were fine but nothing standout for me. I have had better macarons and better tea elsewhere, and as someone who really appreciates good tea, it was decent but not something I would go back for specifically. That said, the gelato alone is absolutely worth returning for and even making a drive for. The space itself is very small and cozy, more of a boutique style spot. It is ideal for individuals, couples, or very small groups. Larger groups may prefer to enjoy their treats outdoors around the plaza and then move along, as this is more of a grab and go or short stay kind of place. Overall, I would definitely be back. The gelato is truly the star here and well worth it.

I think, for me, it is good enough, but not an OMG experience, and there is the hassle of finding a place to park that doesn't cost money at any of the Houston locations. Plus, it is a product that is available at grocery stores in the freezer section, so I am not motivated to seek out a pricier option for the same product. But if you are lactose intolerant, you will be well pleased with the options.

Coco Crepes, Waffles & Coffee - Midtown

Coco's is located in Midtown downtown Houston. Consequently, Yelpers should not be surprised the…read moreparking is mostly in paid lots, just like in every major city in the US--Cocos does not deserve to lose a star for this as in some reviews that brought down their average. You may order online, in shop through a tablet, or with a person at the register. We used the register because we did not see the tablet and did not want to order ahead online. The ladies who helped us on our visit were very nice. You get a number and they call it when your made to order food is ready. We did not have to wait long. There was medium to low noisy ambiance. It was deserted when we arrived, but they have relatively loud background music. While we were eating it got pretty crowded. Mostly a lot of young people in the middle of the day on a Monday. The inside is small, seating both inside and outside are limited and close together. One lady was studying with her laptop, but there are no plugs. The breakfast sandwich is customizable. We got it on a croissant and with sausage. The eggs had a unique texture and the sandwich a unique flavor that we could not place, but both were very tasty. We also wanted a crepe, but we split the sandwich and it was sufficient. We also got a small mocha and a decaf, both were ok to good. We would definitely come back again and recommend that you give them a try for a crepe or sandwich. It is sad that a few Yelpers brought down their average to 3.8 stars due to petty and unjustified complaints such as having to pay for parking downtown. Other complaints are not the business' fault such as periodic homelessness--it is a downtown area in the US, other cities have far worse homelessness than Midtown Houston and we saw none on this visit. Additionally, complaints about takeout orders are mostly petty. Takeout is never as good as eating at the restaurant and so customers should adjust their expectations rather than dock the business stars. Nearly every recent Yelp review for this who ate at the restaurant gave 4-5 stars for food quality and customer service. Like most of the restaurants in this area it is a pretentious yuppy style place with specialized food. Although not usually our type of place (we like down to earth hole in the wall places with good food or taco truck type restaurants), Coco's is a solid 4 star restaurant for the type of place they are and they offered a 5 star experience on our visit. Again, recommend you give them a try if you are in the mood for crepes or sandwiches.
