    Mango + Nutella s'mores + toasted marshmallow
    Brittany B.

    I'm not sure how, but whenever I'm in this area, my car seems to magically veer into the sweet cup parking lot. While I'm never sure how it happens, I'm always grateful. ;) I always love the little message board, handwritten, small shop vibe and their small cup with 2 flavors is perfect for my "you're an adult and prediabetic" lifestyle. This trip was the best of my trips thus far. Why? First, in addition to the always ample, ever changing selection of flavors, the customer service was amazing. I was super indecisive, but the team member behind the counter was patient and helpful. Second, they now offer toppings, one of which is a homemade toasted marshmallow and MAN is it worth the extra dollar or two! It's a marshmallow skewer really, toasted before your eyes which results in an amazingly fragrant gift the whole little shop and a super tasty treat for you. So, if you're in the mood to treat yourself, this spot may just be the place!

    Absolutely delicious DF option! Place was busy after we walked in around 830pm! A sample of the dirty coconut turned into a cone, which comes with two generous scoops! Homemade toasted waffle cone -- a bit too toasted for me! Excellent customer service and patient staff assisting several customers all walking in at the same time! Definitely worth the visit!

    This is one of the last standing establishments in a seemingly abandoned strip mall. Its a chill, casual spot for gelato and sorbet. The staff were all super nice and offer samples of their various flavors, which can help when trying to choose from so many great sounding flavors. I ABSOLUTELY fell in love and am obsessed with their grapefruit lavender, so much so that I went back and bought a pint to go. It was such a rich grapefruit flavor and had such wonderful floral notes. I'm usually not a sorbet person cause I prefer the creaminess of a gelato but the flavor won me over. For anyone who likes grapefruit or wants a floral, refreshing treat, please try it!

    Like me, you've probably driven by this place without knowing it countless times. However, once you find it, you'll keep coming back for more! They offer good quality gelato and rotate flavors pretty frequently. There's also way more seating than you would expect. Definitely going to be a favorite late night treat spot.

    Sweet Cup is a gelato shop located in Montrose with a wide selection of unique flavors. They have various flavors of gelato, and they also have sorbet, as well. I have visited the shops a few times, You can sample as my flavors as you want, and my favorite flavor is the tres leches vanilla. If you love tres leches, it will be you favorite flavor! They also add a little waffle cone piece to your gelato. The shops is a bit small with limited seats, but there are some outdoor seating and plenty of parking during the weekends at night time. Overall, there are many great flavors, and the gelato is super soft and creamy!

    Left strawberry & right blood orange
    Mel S.

    Cute little gelato shop. Lots and lots of cool flavors. I tried the blood orange, so tangy & refreshing just what the doctor ordered. Strawberry - just what you'd expect. Nice strawberries mixed through and through. There are about 5 bar stools on the wall of the wall of this quaint shop. And there are 3 metal tables that seat 4 each outside. It's a nice spot to go to late I'm the evening while it's still 96 degrees to cool off.

    A cute and local gelato place which great flavors! Their gelatos have a creamy consistency and they had many flavors to choose from! I got the tres leches vanilla and salted caramel. I enjoyed both a lot! Delicious and love supporting a local houston spot

    I've been here several times and I've always like their unique and variety of flavors that the interchange several times each time I've been there. The ice cream is amazing here the service is amazing either even though sometimes the staff appears tired, but they are so willing to help and provide samples. It's a small casual place with not a lot of seating but the ambiance is good for a small ice cream shop.

    You may drive past the ice cream parlor easily because it is not noticeable. There is a big parking lot, and two designated parking spaces just for Sweet Cup customers. There is a huge variety of flavors. From classic flavors like strawberry, and chocolate, to unique flavors like fig and goat cheese, and Vietnamese coffee, there is bound to have a flavor that you will like. I had the fig and goat cheese, and Bacio which is chocolate hazelnut. Both flavors were good but could have been more pronounced. Staff was friendly, and allowed customers to try the flavors prior to purchase. Enjoy your ice cream either inside with limited seating or outside which has a few tables and chairs.

    the little waffle chip as a topping is quite delicious and goes well. there is a good variety in flavors.

    Christmas Cookie, Salted Caramel and Tres Leches Vanilla Bean
    Brett N.

    Why 5 stars? Because 3 scoops went down way too easy. --- --- --- After lunch nearby, we wanted to grab something sweet before leaving the 'hood, so we turned to SweetCup. I wasn't super confident in this decision because there were two other ice cream options semi-nearby that I'd been to before and loved, but I'm glad we ended up trying something new, because it was great! I ordered three scoops in a cone: Christmas Cookie, Salted Caramel and Tres Leches Vanilla Bean. These were all great, especially the first two. The only bummer is that they said they weren't offering samples because they were running low on spoons. I couldn't decide if this was actually true or something they say to prevent people like me from going crazy with samples. Either way, I ended up with two home run flavors and one decent one. I will say, my wife got a scoop of peppermint and we didn't love it. It was incredibly strong in terms of the minty-ness. But my cone was full of goodness, so I was happy. One final note: the scoops here are a lot smaller than at most shops. While this might sound like a bad thing, the nice part is that you don't have to be concerned with the ice cream melting and dripping everywhere because the cone can't contain it. I'll be happy to stop here again when I'm in the area!

    Their gelato is so delicious! Locally owned with fresh and unique flavors! Always exciting to stop in to check out the new flavors!

The gelato is made in house. Would definitely come back to try their different and changing flavors!

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.

The chain is headed by a three Michelin star chef Jordi Roca who is believed by some to be one of the best pastry chefs in the world. While this is not necessarily pastry, I wanted to see what he would do with desserts. When you first step in, there is definitely a childlike whimsy to the decor of the place. They have plenty of seats inside as well as outside. I was hoping to see unique flavors, but I did like the few flavors they did sample. Beyond the soft serve gelato, they do have coffee and few prepackaged sweets to buy. When you order, you do get the soft serve gelato with unlimited toppings, which I wish I knew that so I could better select the combination. I did get mango passionfruit (4,5/5) which was super smooth and creamy with the right amount of tartness from the passionfruit and sweetness from mango. The fruits and nuts I got to add were a nice combination. My favorite was the nutella drizzle on top... smooth with little crunchy pieces. My only complaint was the price... While I did enjoy it, I am not sure it was worth the cost... The service was pretty friendly. Located in the Uptown Park plaza, there was parking readily available when I went on a weekday, but could vary depending on how the plaza gets.
