I finally got to visit Lick after they closed early last time. We got 3 flavors: Texas sheet cake, strawberries and cream, and cookies and cream. All of the ice cream was so smooth and creamy. Not grossly sweet -- it was custard-like. The strawberries and cream didn't taste like strawberry but was still good. The cookies and cream was the crowd favorite, but the Texas sheet cake would be a chocolate lover's dream. I still feel some type of way about them closing 30 minutes early the last time I visited. read more

Super interesting flavors! On the more affordable side- $6 for 2 scoops, $4 for 1 single serving. Chocolate cone was very nice! We came near closing time but server was very patient with us, really appreciated. Really big fan of the goat cheese and thyme, but make sure to sample before you purchase. read more

Lick Honest Ice Cream - Goat Cheese Thyme & Honey - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have come here a couple of times so far. I usually stop in when I get my nails done from next door. I like that they have seasonal flavors. And they never have any issues with offering samples before you decide. This time I tried the seasonal flavors of Gingerbread, Red Velvet, No egg nog, and Candidd Pecan. The Candid Pecan was my favorite. So I went with that this visit. Last time I got the goat cheese, honey & thyme and I loved it. I like that there flavors are pronounced and you can tell exactly what you are eating. I can tell they put alot of time and effort and creativity in the product. And I like that. My only real complaint is they don't have half scoops. The single scoop is pretty large. I would love to be able enjoy 2 flavors with a smaller volume. They don't even have a kids menu? I haven't met the owners but I would like too. I enjoy this place. Maybe you will too. read more

Lick was a bit different. They had goat cheese flavor mixed very well so you couldn't taste it. This place has unique ice cream flavors that you wouldn't even think of. Quick and easy service you do get to try flavors as well. Very chill and relaxed spot to hang or walk around eat a chilled treat. read more

Meh - Lick is an Austin staple and they usually have some unique flavors, but I've never really been a big fan of their consistency. This time at this Houston location, I felt like all the flavors I tried had an icy consistency. I also wasn't that impressed with any of the flavors I tried. I ended up getting the Pecan Joy, which tasted similar to an Almond Joy, but with pecans. This flavor felt better in texture and was decent in flavor. I do feel like compared to the Austin locations, the scoop size here is better - either that or it was just the employee. Even though there are fond college memories tied to Lick, I feel that there are other, consistently higher quality ice cream shops in town. Worth the try for their unique flavors though. Plenty of free parking! read more

Lick Honest Ice Cream - Pecan Joy - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

As one of two locations in the Houston area, this Lick in West U is by far the lesser known of the two. For nearly a year, they didn't even have a storefront sign, leaving folks like myself to discover them by chance. Now that the weather has gotten unbearably warm again; it is the perfect time to enjoy a scoop of what they do best: atypical ice cream with a gourmet twist. Most ice cream shops are on smaller side and this Lick is no exception. Aside for a cramped seating area, it's mainly a in-and-out experience. The counter is built to handle lines, which I imagine can come fast and furious on the weekends. Props to whomever is overseeing the bathroom situation -- it's looking quite good. Speaking of quite good, that's how I feel about a majority of their ice cream. The hill country honey and vanilla bean has an addictive quality to it, as does the goat cheese, thyme and honey. The roasted beets and fresh mint is refreshing and the Texas sheet cake will always be a winner. Lately, the seasonal lineup has been calling my name. The grapefruit paloma is very good and unsurprisingly, very vegan. The loopy fruit is a lot like cereal milk, which should really be in their main rotation. For Pride month, their featured flavor is the "orange you glad it's pride" which a zesty orange and vanilla dream that's absolutely worth the hype. Every flavor noted is available in pint form, with a limited selection for half-pints. I appreciate their ice cream sandwich selection and love that everything can also be ordered online. The prices are understandably more premium in these parts (#1), but not unfathomable at $11.50 a pint. The customer service is on point as well, since they've allowed me to sample practically everything I see without giving me any grief. As a Texas brand that started in Austin, I'm glad they've made the expansion to Houston. I'm hoping more locations pop up in the city but for now this little strip mall spot will most certainly do the job. __________ (#1) This neighborhood of $$$. read more

Oh Lick, I'm so thankful that you came to Houston. I've missed you ever since I graduated college from UT Austin, and you continue to have some of the best and most awesome ice cream flavors I've ever known. Some of the everyday flavors that I thoroughly enjoy the most are: Coffee with Cream Goat Cheese, Thyme and Honey Hill Country Honey Vanilla Bean Texas Sheet Cake Some of the seasonal flavors that I've enjoyed throughout the year (depending on when you go) are: Red Velvet Peppermint Bark Tres Leches Cilantro Lime Great staff who takes great care of their customers well, has mostly indoor seating but has a couple outdoor as well. Parking can be tough in this shopping strip but it's definitely worth the walk to come here. read more

I've passed by this ice cream shop on Bellaire Blvd a hundred times, but never noticed it. It is a small shop in a strip center - one that I frequent at least 3X month. Well I found the place and loved it! They have unusual flavors and the flavors are excellent - I had 3 samples. My absolute favorite flavor is the Coconut Cream! A close second is the Pecan and Bourbon (very close). The server was very helpful and friendly. They do have a small seating area. I wish that they'd open up earlier than 1 PM on Saturday and Sunday - possibly noon. The only problem is the parking - it was difficult to find a place a parking space and the rows are a bit narrow so it is a bit difficult to back out - and a lot of cars circling for spaces so be careful. read more

The flavors here were not for me. Their coffee flavor was sadly not offered anymore. I sampled the dark chocolate/olive oil (the olive oil was too strong for me), the rumchata (good for horchata lovers), Texas sheet cake (meh), pecan and bourbon (not great and had cake pieces) before i decided on the mint and chocolate (I wasn't a fan of the chocolate pieces). I also tried my friend's honey and vanilla and that was creamy and not too sweet. Scoops were small and were $4. They don't allow half scoops. read more

Lick Honest Ice Cream - 1 scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was so excited that this branch had opened here! This place is a wonderful little ice cream parlor. The employee I met was so polite and went out of his way to explain the prices and servings, which was so appreciated. The interior is clean, though small and very well-lighted. The flavors were so fun and creative! I love chocolate and orange and that flavor was a joy. The milk chocolate and the vegan chocolate flavors were also perfect, being creamy and packed with a wonderfully balanced profile. I was also very happy for the quantity vs price ratio. It is so reasonable for such high quality and size! read more

The online ordering service doesn't list all the in stock freezer flavors, so you HAVE to go inside to look in both, which honestly with a limited rotational menu isn't much of a hassle. Ambiance: LOVED the lighting style, large menu lettering, fellas at the counter don't talk much but they are great at proper portioning & samples. "Food": I'm not a fan of sweet/salty combos but the thyme/ goat cheese(?) is surprisingly sweet I got it in mix with the salted caramel (very umami/sweet) and dang near melted into the floor. Get the waffle cone it stays [reasonably] crunchy even after soaking up ice cream. Note: the pecan topping is just toasted, no other coatings. Freezer flavors I saw: Pumpkin pie, spiced sweet potato pie, current seasonal, tres leches, and I think I saw an apple pie one?? Don't quote me! Seasons syrup: Strawberry sauce read more

I've tried going to this place 3 times and every time it says closed please go to their other location. Frustrating as I want to try their ice cream but if they are always closed I don't know how they can pay their lease and I am sure it will be permanently closed. read more

Talk about a hidden gem! I am at this shopping center every 3 months for a hair appointment. Anddd the way I have never noticed this place until I arrived extra early one day! This ice is sooo good and creamery with uniquely crafted flavors. The origin story of the ice cream shop is pretty cool too. Any who I decided to check this place out after my hair appointment and I got 3 scoops in a cup so I could try a variety of flavors at once. I tried coffee with cream,dark chocolate olive oil, and hill country honey and vanilla bean. That ice cream hit in 10! So so good I highly reccomend! They also have vegan options and flavors that are only available seasonally! The shop is tucked into a shopping center, it is kind of small inside but cute and quaint! If you are ever in west university area do check this place out! read more

This artisanal ice cream shop offers a wide variety of truly unique flavors. Lick prides themselves in using the purest of ingredients, and those flavors pack a delicious and satisfying punch. The ice cream shop attendant was very friendly and helpful. Also, the shop was clean and inviting. The shop itself is in an outlet, and it's not easily seen from the road (blink and you might miss it) Some tips: Definitely taste a handful of flavors before making your decision. There are pints and delicious pre-made ice cream sandwiches available in a freezer. Also, Lick offers a pet-friendly dog ice cream mini-pint. Cheers!! read more

My friends and I came here for some ice cream after dinner. All their flavors are really amazing. Normally I get the goat thyme honey ice cream , but I went with the caramel salt this time and it was pretty good.. the goat, thyme, honey ice cream was really strong in the thyme this time. So even if you are a regular, you should sample the one you're thinking about getting first before you get it in a cup or cone. The waffle bowls are very crunchy. If you're not a big fan of sweets, I would recommend the dark chocolate olive oil . Their worker was pretty chill, and he is fine with giving us all the samples we wanted before ordering and didn't make us feel bad for asking so much. There are limited tables and chairs and inside. We were a group of seven people I think we took up half the available chairs. Tables are clean. The vases with real flowers is a cute touch but it definitely needed a water change or maybe go with a non see through vase? Parking is free and out front. read more

Lick is my go to ice cream shop in Houston (first time I tried Lick was in college at their Austin location). I tend to always get the same flavors (coffee and/or vanilla with Texas honey). Their seasonal items are always fun (I tried the spring ones today: strawberry and cream that was coconut based and lemon sugar cookie). The offer free samples and also have a punch card. There's seating inside and a bench outside, it's always clean, and the prices are reasonable. The parking lot is large but very narrow and tight. read more

I only have good things to say about Lick! We came in late on a Sunday night and the gentleman that helped us was so kind and patient. Great service!

This ice cream was so delicious and very creamy. They have very unique flavors including some new holiday flavors! I got the gingerbread and the sugar cookie flavors and they were both outstanding. I can't wait to go back again and try more flavors. The service was good, but the only thing is parking is a bit limited. There are only a few spots right in front of the store, otherwise, you have to park a bit further out and walk, which was fine for me because this place was a must try read more

I'm so happy Houston got a Lick Honest Ice Cream, and it's even better that it's in a great location! It's very close to where I live, and it's in a plaza with a HUGE parking lot, so you will never have a problem with parking when coming here. My favorite flavors that I've tried from here are: -coffee with cream -dark chocolate, olive oil, and sea salt -fresh mint and chocolate chunk -Texas sheet cake I definitely want to eventually try each flavor here. These flavors are all super unique and so delicious! Very casual and cute vibes in here too. The workers are also very friendly and helpful. This is a great ice cream spot that I would recommend. read more

Saw and advertisement that they were giving out free scoops today 3-5pm and decided to try it. Of course we came after the free scoop rush cause this is Houston and I'm not about to stand outside in 100 degree weather for one scoop. Upon entering, the establishment was extremely small with only two tables and a bar sitting area. It was still rather crowded even though the free scoop period was over. There were only two scoopers, which made the line slower. Kudos to them for having unique flavors though! One of the ones we ordered was beet and basil along with blueberry crumble in a waffle bowl. They were rather delicious and it was obvious their waffle bowls were freshly made. We sat down for a bit, but didn't stay long as it felt way too overcrowded and claustrophobic. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but will definitely visit if I'm in the area again. read more

Lick's ice cream is delightful. I tasted a few samples and opted for a pint of the Texas Sheet Cake ice cream and a half pint of the Dark Chocolate, Olive Oil, and Sea Salt ice cream--both were so good, and I appreciated how they had half pints of a few flavors. The service was very nice--the servers were helpful and friendly and were happy to let me try samples. Just note that the store was a little hard to find because their sign isn't up yet--it's right next to Antone's. As with other high-end, gourmet ice creams recently (think Van Leeuwen, Tiny's Milk & Cookies, Jeni's, etc.), this ice cream is pretty pricy, coming in at $11 for a pint and $7 for a half pint. read more

I'm sooo excited lick is here in Houston!!! I loved this place when I was living in Austin, so I'm glad it's finally here. I love their Texas sheet cake and caramel salt lick flavors! It's my to go to everyday flavors they have. Today, I tried their seasonal flavors-honeyed peaches with rosemary, chocolate chip cookies and cream, and blueberry crumble. I also tried a dewberry flavor that was very good! The employee was so nice and the store was very clean. We were able to try flavors before picking our scoops, so service was great! They're opening a second location in Autry Park that's opening soon. I went ahead and got a tshirt while I was there and a scoop society membership. Can't wait to be coming back more often! read more

Houston heat can be very disrespectful, but it does not have to be that way if you have the know how to survive. One of the survival techniques cold, fresh Ice cream, yogurt or sorbets. I lucked up upon this establishment which is only one of two locations thus far so you know the Yelper in me was like, Dive in! The selection is phenomenal and the Seasonal selection was a bonus. If you unsure of what flavor you want..psst they will let you try a few samples. I have never seen some of the combinations that Lick Honest Ice Cream have on their menu and I could only try one this day and that would be Dark Chocolate, Olive Oil and Sea Salt. The ice cream did not melt too fast and was creamy and sweet. My goal now is to try a different flavor every time I come here. They support local farmers and artisans; in addition, to Cones For A Cause. The store is bright, energetic with tables for small groups and a bar with seating facing the parking lot to people watch or bask in the sun. read more

Lick is here in Houston!!! On National Ice Cream Day, we stopped by for their grand opening as they're offering free scoops for everyone who comes by! I sampled their Dewberry Corn Cobbler, Blueberry Crumbler, and their Peach Oat Crisp. I ultimately decided to get a cup of the Peach Oat Crisp, but all three were fantastic flavors. I had a bite of my friend's Honey Peach with Rosemary flavor which was also a solid choice. So happy to have Lick in the neighborhood now!! The service was fast and friendly which made the wait worthwhile and much shorter than you'd expect for a grand opening event! read more

Very interesting flavors, extremely friendly staff, clean place and great location. A bit expensive for the amount you get. I got a few small cups for my kids and I dare say this place serves the smallest amounts by far--which doesn't bother me in the least, especially for kids cups--I hate when it melts (in this Texas heat!) and drips everywhere. However, the price does not reflect that whatsoever. The flavors my kids got weren't that memorable for me either, but they enjoyed them. I did sample the sea salt which was very good, but not my personal favorite type of ice cream to begin with, so I didn't end up with any for myself anyway. read more

We tried this (Austin-based) new Houston location today. It's a small shop in a retail strip center. Lisa R had forewarned me that she gave it thumbs down as far as flavor compared to Jeni's & the Chocolate Bar's ice cream shops. Well I have to agree with her. The ice cream flavors looked appealing, but after ordering, it wasn't the fabulous flavors I'm used to enjoying at the two above mentioned competitors. While service was certainly friendly, the size of the ice cream scoops left me wondering how my waffle cone was barely showing any ice cream sticking out of it. Since I have had many other ice cream shops ice cream scoops in a waffle cone, I have to say this was the skimpiest portion ever! There were 3 of us here earlier this evening and each one of us said, no this isn't the best tasting ice cream. It just did not have that rich wow flavor we're used to enjoying. Unfortunately we will not be returning. read more

Just drove by this place and it's just across the street from my work. I came in around 5 o'clock. Just left everything and greeted me. The ice cream flavors looks really good. I picked the Texas sheet on cake cone, which was really good, was fresh and ice cream was on the spot. read more

Very lickable ice cream. Every member in our family of four got a different flavor, I took a "daddy tax", from everyones ice cream. Lick employee was generous in letting us try different flavors. Only two tables and a bar to sit at inside and a bench outside. We chose the indoor ambiance which had good music and it was quiet. read more

I was excited to try the flavors that were advertised. However, I found most of them were understated and mild. I tried samples of a number and bought several anyway. A strawberry flavor had no real taste of strawberry, same with cherry, lavender, and cilantro/lime without a deep flavor of lime, mild of cilantro. The ideas behind the flavors were what drew me there. But there are many ice cream stores where the taste is more full and identifiable. I really wanted to like it. read more

Pretty good neighborhood ice cream shop. Like the unique flavors. The grapefruit was my favorite that I tried.

Wow...back I go...guess I can't get enough of a problem place. Mainly I love the product. And today, I left a tip for the person working. Note to self..one person, not the two evil men who are there in the evenings. So, for the management. The person on duty Tuesday at 6:00 was extremely nice and helpful. However, your credit card machine still leaves a bit to be desired. Despite many attempts to use my Vanilla Gift card...see, I don't want you to know my name or send me emails...well, the person could not get it to work. So, before walking out empty handed...I asked politely...do you take cash? Well of course we do. Really, well the two men who work here refused and said they did not take cash..oh except that tip jar. This time I vowed to walk out if you folks got my credit card. But very politely the employee took my green bills and I put some in the tip jar...even though I only bought a pint of ice cream. So, get that stinking machine to work...and maybe even give receipts...and maybe just maybe, I'll leave a better review. read more
