I think they use high fructose since i had a reaction on this visit. I can't confirm, but my body said it didn't like it. We are familiar with water ice having visited Philly. It's not a slushy like it sounds like. It's an icy scoopable treat similar to sorbet but sweeter. The ambiance was fun and energetic. We did a half and half single scoop based on the recommendation of our cashier. It was okay until my allergy started acting up. They have a few sugar free options which we may be back for. This surely doesn't have high fructose if no sugar. read more

So Icy has quickly become my houses favorite ice cream shop in all of DFW! Not only is it such a community space in our little neighborhood, but the vibes are always up at So Icy! My go to order used to be a small double scoop of cherry water ice, but now I am addicted to the Gelati swirl with cherry! OMG! It is absolutely delish! I will also point out that the portion sizes are generous! Typically my boyfriend and I can share a small bc of how big they come! And they also sell pup cups! My pups already know when we go for a walk, there is a good chance we will stop by the shop for a treat! Overall the excellent service, tasty treats, and community vibe all meshed together makes for the perfect ice cream shop experience! Def will be back, and highly recommend for anyone in the area! read more

Love it here. If you are looking for matcha, that strawberry and mango matcha is top tier! Can't lie! Quality is there and they are using real ingredients. We tried the banana pudding cold brew + latte too! read more

Came for the water ice after having tried John's in Philly Service was great! They walked us through assorted customizations like 2 flavors in 1 scoop or splitting a 2 scoops into 2 cups (the smallest option comes with 2 scoops- very affordable $7) Tried the passionfruit which was ok and the sour apple which was not very sour. These flavors weren't great but the texture was perfect, I look forward to trying again with more traditional flavors. read more

I attended the "So Matcha" event at the So Icy stand on their first weekend. I did ultimately regret going and think there should be some major quality improvement on the matcha project. The banana pudding matcha, which I'd had my eye on, was sold out - no big deal. I got the "strawberry fields" matcha with cold foam. In reality, the matcha was weak, the milk barely even strawberry flavored, and the cup was tiny - pretty much the size of the palm of my hand. It says 12oz, and I didn't bring my measuring cups, but that is NOT the same size as a 12oz at any other establishment nearby. This was the lowest quality "strawberry fields" latte I've tried out of 3-4 different ones in Dallas. The matcha needs to be stronger. And the cup size is, again, regrettable for the price. Lesson learned for leaning into the matcha popup hype! read more

My friend wanted to try the matcha here so we stopped by. She got a matcha and I got mango water ice. The water ice had a good flavor, was very soft - not icy like a snow cone. The lady at the counter was friendly and helpful with questions. This is located in the corner of a large parking lot, down from the bridge. They do have some outside tables and umbrellas you can sit at as well. read more

So Icy is a delightful summertime treat! I visited last Friday and it was wonderful. It had been a while, but it was certainly worth the wait. I always enjoy the blueberry flavor, and adding mango this time was a delicious addition. If you happen to be in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, particularly near Trinity Groves, I highly recommend trying some of their Ice and the many flavors they have. It's a delightful and refreshing treat for the upcoming summer days. read more

Flavorful (pineapple was dominant, watermelon was lackluster as a stand-alone) and a good portion for the price (regular could fill 2 ppl); however, this isn't water ice. It's not smooth + filled with ice crystals/chunks. As a South Jersey native, this is the closest you'll get in DFW, unfortunately. read more

We actually went to the new Garland location. I am originally from Philadelphia, so I was extremely excited to check this place out, and it did not disappoint. The water ice was delicious.

So I have been wanting to check out So Icy for a minute because my friend has been talking about it, and there is even a tik tock about it. I checked out reviews online and saw the menu, so I had an idea of what I wanted to try. I also noticed comments about them selling out before the end of their posted hours. I think we got there about 7, and we saw a line as we pulled up unto the parking lot they are located in.. it is a big parking lot but it is packed because of their location. As we walked up, we started seeing people walking away...that was because they had used all of their toppings and only had a little bit of mango and lemon left. What I appreciated, though, is they passed out what they had left for free and passed out rewards cards for your next visit. For me, the mango was a little sweet for my taste, but the lemon was more my speed, a little tart, and it cut the sweetness. I will definitely go back so I can get the whole experience. Take my advice, if you want to get what you want, go early!! read more

Service: 5/5 Building/Atmosphere: 5/5 Philly ice: 4/5 So it's 100° in Texas and I find a sno cone type establishment on TikTok. Never heard of Philly ice so I took the day off, and drove 22 minutes to Trinity Groves to try it. I didn't leave disappointed. Right off the back there is a line to this sno cone like shack. "Oh, here we go," I thought to myself. "Would you like some water?" A man asked me standing beside a cooler. Hell yeah I said. Turns out the owner offers water to folks standing in line. And not only that, he has tents set up to where you're not cooking in this Texas heat! What a Godsend! So everyone is right. Philly Ice isn't like a slushy, icy, or a sno cone: it's it's own category. If I could describe it best, it has the consistency of sherbet with a sugar free coolness. I know what you're thinking, it's not that aspartame taste... But it's not sweet at all, which gives me that sugar free note. They were out of a couple of flavors, but the staff was super accommodating. super helpful, super nice. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

This is not true water ice, it lacks in flavor. I tried the watermelon and cheery since most of the flavors were gone. I've never made $5 for water ice in my life. Granted the cup is good enough for 3 people. This establishment can really improve with the customer service as it's overwhelmingly lackluster. We visited the week of the grand opening so there were quite a lot of people coming to check this place out. Upon arrival, there was a huge line and it took us 10-15 to wait until we ordered. We realized that the worker was taking everyone's order who was on line before closing his window to serve 20+ people with no organization. They definitely need more workers to assist with the demand. When ordering, the guy seemed like he couldn't be bothered with people. He didn't greet us or say anything to us. I ordered and he said we don't have that. Nothing on the list was crossed out. I had to play a game of tag ordering other flavors and finding out things were out. To top it off, the menu said $5 for water ice and $10 for a size enough to store in the freezer at home. Instead I got a text that my order was $6. Although a dollar more, some price transparency to customers would be appreciated so I don't feel like I was ripped off. The pick up order process was very confusing. We were all standing around a bit lost because he did not call out any orders or groups. He just held the icee cup out the window and people came up to see if it was ours. It got so ridiculous that our order group of 3 was handed to someone else because he had no insight or cared who ordered first or what anyone ordered. read more

If you're reading this, you probably saw the TikTok. So let me be your fact-checker. Yes, they're conveniently located off 75, in the heart of Trinity Groves. Yes, it's unlike any sno-cone or slushie you've ever had -- more of a sorbet texture with the flavor infused. And, yes, it's worth trying! But, before you go, you should expect to wait at least 20 mins in the raw Texas heat. If you're smart, you'll arrive closer to sundown and/or bring an umbrella! Also, expect (because of the popularity) for most flavors to be sold out. The price is a bit higher than your average sno-cone or similar experience but, they serve TX-sized portions, so you'll get a nice amount of bang for your buck. The owners are a group of young-ish men from Philly, home of the original ice water, so seem to still be working out ambiance, speed, etc. but, are incredibly kind and offer free water. read more

Let me be the first to tell you that if you think that you have until closing time to make your way here, you might get here and find yourself disappointed because they will likely be sold out. We arrived on a Saturday early evening and as others have stated it's a small shed with a window to order from but I don't recall anyone ever calling it an ice cream shop. This is ice water, no exactly a snow cone and not ice cream but definitely something nice to have, especially on a hot day. When we arrived there was a small line and folks sitting in their cars or at the tables under the tent enjoying their treat. Folks were quick to let us know that they only had two flavors left so we needed to be quick and they didn't tell no lie. We literally were the last to get what they had and she was literally scraping the bottom of the container to get it for us. The lemon is refreshing and tart, the mango is sweet and delicious. And they left me wishing I had gotten there early to have my pick of flavors. With that said, will I be back? Definitely. They give you a punch card so make sure to get one and have it punched on each visit. read more

I wanted to give this place a 3.5 but was leaning toward more 4 so I felt generous. To be clear, this is a small garden shed in the corner of a parking lot in the Trinity Grove area. Plenty of parking and a couple of plastic tables with shade (which was greatly appreciated). Multiple flavors were out when we got there and gelati wasn't available. They said they haven't been serving the ice cream for awhile since it was too hot and it kept melting. The service was perfectly fine but definitely a little disappointed that so much was unavailable. I had coconut and my wife had strawberry lemonade. Both were perfectly fine but not extremely impressive. A good status quo Philadelphia flavored ice option. read more

I saw this through another Instagram's page and really wanted to try it. We were able to sample the flavors and the most notable were the rainbow one and the strawberry lemonade. Blueberry kind of lacked flavoring. The texture of the water ice was like a slurpee. The server was very nice and let us know what combos are good. It's a small poop stand but they do have some outside picnic tables. read more

My love found this little spot scrolling through her IG feed. So, one day, we decided to give them a try, which turned out to be the best decision ever! The staff is friendly and quick, plus the location is convenient. We usually try to sample a new flavor every visit. But this quickly became our weekend ritual. For a guilt free treat that we would share. Now that the summer is coming to an end, the hut will be closing for the season. But it's nice to know they have a food truck that will be out and about. Yelpers, if you haven't had the opportunity to explore this delicious treat, don't drag your feet. Their last day this season is Oct 31st. Our pick read more

OH. MY. GOODNESS! I have been waiting to visit this location for what feels like forever. I grabbed my friends and dragged them to this tiny but mighty water ice stand to enjoy. I am so glad I did! I had a great time talking to staff, trying samples, and sharing my excitement. The water ice itself is just as delicious as it is beautiful. Every flavor my friends and I had, from sour apple to passionfruit was extremely tasty. I think something that could help this business, for the rest of this summer or next, would be more seating and more umbrella shade! Otherwise, keep doing great things, So Icy! read more

This place is addicting! Omg this place is so good!!!!! It's so underrated and I'm shock alot of people don't know about this still!

I've been following & supporting this business for years when I found out the owner is a fellow Philadelphian so when a stand opened up in Carrollton I was hype. I'll never patronize again. I'm not one to complain about the prices people set because you definitely have the option to shop else where, but $12 for a pizza pretzel and the quality is NOT there? Absolutely not. I was skeptical at first anyway bc most water ice places in Philly get their pretzels daily, so how was this business getting them in TX? My pretzel was SMALL AS HELL, super tough and COLD. I went back and asked the worker to reheat it, thinking she didn't give it enough time to cook-- then l see she's using an airfryer. BIG NO NO. pizza pretzels are typically made in the microwave. Not sure if they were limited due to space but pretzels or any bread in an airfryer makes it hard. I had to bring the pretzel home & microwave it to salvage my $12. The regular size ice is the smallest cup for $6. $18 for an almost inedible pretzel and water ice, only for the worker to say "the pretzel was only $10." I said the price list says $12 and you charged me $18. She said the xtra $2 was tax. Someone should educate her on tax while she's trying to insult my intelligence. Improve the customer service & product quality. Or better yet, just go to Jeremiah's. read more
