Ocean Bay Creamery

Oh my... Kirk's Ice Cream is AMAZING!…read more If you love Blue Bell ice cream, this is your place. They have what feels like every Blue Bell flavor you could ask for, and choosing just one is almost impossible. The scoops are enormous! Every time I go, I tell myself I'm only getting one or two scoops. Then I end up ordering three because it's just that good. Somehow, after finishing it, I'm already thinking about what flavor I'm getting on my next visit. This is one of those places you have to experience for yourself. The ice cream is delicious, the portions are generous, and it's absolutely worth the stop.

It seems like every block along this highway, close to the airport area, has pancakes and ice cream. I told myself that I would try these people before I left the state. I walk into this place and it looks sort of like an old school ice cream parlor from a few decades ago. I see many barrels of ice cream and sherbet. I even see "NSA" ice cream, which means "no sugar added, which means I immediately lost interest in viewing it. They have a wide variety of flavors which included black walnut ice cream. Black walnut just doesn't seem to be found that often in the local grocery chains in the Houston Metropolitan Area. I asked for a sample of the banana pudding ice cream and the guy dug up to his elbow to get me a sample on the tiny wooden, flat spoon. I was not rushed to make a decision, and when I finally did, they gave me huge scoops of ice cream to fill my pint container. Don't judge me! Ice cream makes my soul happy. I have never been to such a generous ice cream parlor. They did have some brand I have never heard of, but they definitely had a Texas staple brand ice cream as well. I saw all those Blue Bell containers! I can't fault this place for having good taste. They have a decent price point and very friendly staff. I would definitely return here if I'm in the area. By the way, if you're curious to know what four flavors I picked: Butter pecan Praline and cream Black walnut Pistachio almond

I would hate have seen what two scoops, a banana split or one of their specialty bowls would have cost! Service was friendly, but I would only go back if our daughter and granddaughter wanted us to go with them as the wife and I thought $12.23 for two scoops of ice cream was way overpriced and would not return here again on our own.

I was really impressed by this place. It was really clean, had friendly employees and the ice cream was outstanding. I sampled several flavors before deciding. The birthday cake and Cookie monster were better than I've ever had. Ultimately I decided on the dairy free cookies and cream because I'm mildly lactose intolerant and didn't want to pay for it later. The prices were moderate, I'd say better than expected for homemade ice cream. I highly recommend this place to locals and tourists as it's conveniently located for both. read more

Now, I only got to try the "Cookie Monster" ice cream but it was YUMMY! The ice cream had the perfect ratio of actual ice cream to real chocolate chip cookie, and it was a really nice soft cookie! (Not warm fresh out of the oven of course because then you'd have a puddle). Now if all of their flavors are as good, then I can see myself visiting often! read more

Ocean Bay Creamery was a great experience for the whole family! There were high chairs for the kids and affordable kid sized servings. I got the Cookie Monster, and my wife, who is lactose intolerant, got the dairy free Black Raspberry ice cream. All of it was great! There aren't many homemade ice cream places around, so this place is a must visit! read more

The waffle itself was delicious -- warm, crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside -- but I'll be honest, that bright blue Cookie Monster ice cream left me with... let's just say some lingering side effects for about four days. (Consider yourself warned!) The ice cream flavor was okay -- nothing particularly special -- but everything else came together nicely, especially with the Nutella drizzle. My fiancée ordered The Dolly Llama Biscoff, which featured horchata ice cream, Biscoff cookies, and caramel sauce in a waffle cone. That one was hands-down the better choice -- rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. I definitely had menu envy. The staff was friendly and patient, and the shop itself had a fun, inviting atmosphere with plenty of dessert options to explore. Even though my choice wasn't my favorite, I can see the potential here. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area to try out more of their creative flavor combinations -- just maybe steering clear of anything Cookie Monster-colored.
