    Nutella waffle with ultimate cookie monster
    Rosalind C.

    It swwwwweeetttt! But that's what you want huh. The place is pretty small, but the customer service was on point. I had the Nutella waffle with a scoop of cookiw monster. The flavors were delicious. They have a patio that's pretty nice so no worries if you don't want to sit inside. Overall I would say try it.

    With a name like this, how can you not stop in. I happen to drive by this place and saw the name and immediately looked it up to see what it was. It was an ice cream and waffle place, perfect for dessert. Stopping in, my first thought was this is a cute place! The menu is varied but not too overwhelming. The service was just okay- the workers didn't really say anything to me until my husband asked if I had been helped yet and they heard me answer no, even though the place was practically empty (only one other couple there who had their ice cream already). The portion sizes are decent though, and I love that you can do a half scoop to get 2 flavors. The average pricing is going to run you around $10-14, but it's big enough to share. The waffle was nice and flaky, almost like a croissant, which I love, but I do wish it was just a tad bit crispier. Overall, I liked it, but wasn't mind blowing.

    Seriously, the BEST DESSERT I've had in ages!! While visiting a friend in Houston, we started craving a dessert around 10pm. After a quick search on Yelp, we found The Dolly Llama and boy was it a treat! We used the drive thru window so I can't speak on the interior but the clerk helped us decipher the menu and we chose the Sugar 'N Spice Signature Waffle - delicious!!! The softest, fluffiest waffle cone, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Biscoff cookies, whip cream and cinnamon ice cream. It tasted even better than it sounds. I hope that there's one in Dallas because I need it in my life.

    Mint chocolate chip ice cream with liege waffle
    Stephanie Z.

    We wanted something sweet and came to the Dolly Llama for dessert. I tried the mint chocolate chip ice cream with the liege waffle, and others in my group got ice cream and shakes (not all pictured). The ice cream was very standard. The liege waffle was okay; it was fluffy but didn't have the classic bursts of caramelized sweetness that I was expecting.

    OMG!!! I haven't never had a dessert THIS GOOD! Let's start with the waffle. It was warm and idk what they added to it but it was the best waffle I ever had. Up against that ice cream.. idk all I can say it was from heaven. The guy at the window was super helpful and didn't rush us to make a selection. I appreciate that.

    Matcha Green Tea ice cream
    Rob R.

    I've passed this place numerous times but always when I'm busy, so never stopped before. I happened to have a craving for ice cream late one night after coming back from the ballet, so I decided to try something new. If you blink you will miss this place just because it's situated at an odd angle to any entrances to the parking lot it shares with the other businesses around it. That being said, I pulled into the drive thru and it was like a ghost town. It was later in the evening but not that late. I thought it was closed for a second. After a minute, someone came to the window and took the order. There is an extensive menu posted by the window. Usually, I'm happy to take my time deciding what I want but for some reason, I didn't feel like sitting in that drive thru long, so I quickly decided on the Matcha Green Tea flavor. Unfortunately for me, who didn't want to sit in the drive thru long, I felt it took a bit too long for what I ordered. Since I was the only customer at the time, judging by the empty drive thru and parking lot, I was a bit puzzled by what was taking so long. The ice cream was actually good. It had a real matcha flavor and it wasn't overly sweet. The whip cream on top was a nice touch. I wanted to keep things simple, so I just ordered one scoop in a cup. Overall, since it was a little later in the evening and I was in the drive thru, I'll disregard the lack of ambiance. I think the service can be a little quicker or a little more engaging. At least one of those things. I don't know many people who willingly want to sit in a drive thru longer than they have to. The ice cream was good and I'll definitely return at some point to get something a little more extravagant.

    The is our family's guilty pleasure. I love the green tea ice cream here with strawberries! They have a great selection of flavors with even vegan options. The servers are kind and they stay open late! The setup is super cute! Who couldn't smile at a place called Dolly Llama. We will be back soon. :)

    Saw this on the way home off 288 so had to give it a try. First off, it has good visibility from the highway but the location itself is not ideal. The Main Street connecting it on the other side barely shows any signs that they are there. One side is a one way parking lot and the other side is both ways but it's at the back end of the plaza which houses mainly non-food establishments. Parking is limited. It's right next to Brewingz. We order the OG Liege with Ube Ice Cream with condensed milk. It was delicious. The place is small inside but it also has outdoor seating. It was just us,so service was good. Friendly staff.

    We stopped by Friday before 9 pm for desserts and they made the waffles fresh to order. Waffle, ice cream, and toppings - delicious.

    Matcha ice cream topped with strawberries in a bubble waffle cone
    Maureen B.

    Listen. Dolly Ilama is under rated. They have the best ice cream ok. I can't get myself to stay away from the matcha ice cream in a bubble waffle topped with strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. You won't regret swiping that card.

    Cute new spot off of 288 in Pearland! After Bubble Egg closed in Bellaire, I had to get my bubble egg and waffle fix and luckily a new spot opened. They also offer a drive thru. It shares a parking lot with other businesses in the plaza so I can imagine it'll be crowded at peak times. Lots of options for dessert such as icecream, bubble egg waffle, waffles, and shakes. Service was slow, I'm assuming because they just opened and they were training some of the employees. My friend and I opted for bubble egg waffles, which was good. I had the sugar and spice!

    Family time.

    Another great Ice cream option as if I needed one! I recommend you try the bubble waffle cones. The one I had was hot and fresh with a huge scoop of ice cream. The server was fast and friendly. The inside seating is limited however, there are tables outside as well as various outdoor games. Had popular music playing loud but not too loud. The location is off the beaten path but you can see it from the freeway.

    Such a cute spot! The ice cream is so rich and good. Ther best part is the waffle with such great flavor.... The server was very attentive and I would recommend

I've stopped in a few times, and my family has been in several times to grab ice cream and churros -- figured it was finally time to do the review. On our most recent trip, my wife and I stopped in for a little treat after dinner. She had a single scoop of café au lait, and we shared a cinnamon sugar churro. Café au lait ice cream -- really good. If you like Vietnamese coffee, this is basically Vietnamese coffee condensed into ice cream. Highly recommended. If you're unsure -- maybe worried it's too strong -- ask for a sample; they're happy to give them out. Cinnamon sugar churro -- came out hot and fresh. Some of the better churros you'll get in Pearland. In the end, this is some of the better specialty ice cream and churros you're going to find in Pearland. They also do a lot for the community -- charity events, get-togethers, and the like -- so follow them on social media to know what's going on. Would recommend, and would return.

After lunch nearby for Father's Day with the fam, we decided to come here for some dessert. This is a locally owned business located in a strip center in West Pearland. Since we had a larger party with us, we called ahead to make sure they had indoor seating. Majority of the restaurant is work space with small area for customers. The seating consisted of a few benches inside. There was some outside benches a little further down from the Rollie's, but I'm not sure if it's shared with them or not. We were the only people inside when it was our turn to order. There were two employees working that looked less than enthused to be there. Any questions we had were directed to the menu. Customer service goes a long way in my book, and it was lacking that day. We ordered a variety of different things and they all came out staggered which was to be expected. I ordered the hot fudge brownie sundae for myself with chocolate custard. It looked promising at first glance. I went in on the brownie first and it was on the dry side and way to crumbly, but tasted fine. The custard at first was nice and smooth as expected, but then I would get random bites of ice. It kind of threw off the velvety consistency that I love with custard. I also noticed the absence of chopped peanuts that was listed as a topping. I was half way in already so I let it slide. No other complaints on the other items ordered. Overall, my sweet tooth was satisfied, but between the service and not getting my full order, I'm not sure I would rush back anytime soon. I'm guessing it was just an off day and they have alot more to offer.

The order was incorrect from the start. Interestingly, the receipt and stickers placed on each individual item were correct, yet the actual food inside the packaging did not match what was ordered. The meat was extremely dry, and what was described as a cheese sauce was not a sauce at all--it was essentially Cheese Whiz. Not exactly the elevated cheese experience one expects. I was also surprised to discover that, although the online menus prominently feature a kids' meal, I was told at the store that kids' meals were not available. As a result, I ordered a cheeseburger plain, without vegetables, with extra cheese, for which I paid an additional charge. Unfortunately, much of that extra cheese ended up melted onto the wrapper rather than on the burger. The burger also arrived with vegetables despite the request for none, and it was not cut in half as requested. The chili was another disappointment. The jalapeños were visibly wrinkled, dried out, and lacked the freshness you would expect from a dish being served to customers. The One Bright Spot The Tropical Açaí Bowl was, thankfully, delicious. It was wonderfully cold, refreshing, and easily the best part of the entire order. That said, even the bowl had room for improvement. The fruit was cut into such tiny pieces that there simply wasn't enough substantial fruit in each bite. Still, compared with everything else we received, this was the only item we actually enjoyed enough to eat. I was also asked at the kiosk whether I was a member, but no information was provided about how to become a member or what membership offered. It felt like a missed opportunity to engage with a customer. Bottom Line $78.50 spent. One item consumed. The Tropical Açaí Bowl was the only item we ate. For that price, I expected quality, accuracy, freshness, and attention to detail. Instead, the experience was marked by incorrect food, poor preparation, missing or unwanted ingredients, and a general lack of quality control. This was not simply a case of one disappointing dish--it was an entire order that missed the mark in multiple ways. Unfortunately, $78.50 for one enjoyable item is a very difficult experience to justify. Very, very disappointed.

When they first opened, customer service was good. My last two visits have been identical in which customer service was almost nonexistent. Usually the store is busy and seem to keep the lines moving. On my last visits the store was quiet and the young kids behind the counter literally had full on conversations about their personal lives while people patiently waited in line for quite some time. They didn't even acknowledge or make eye contact with us. Good customer service in Pearland is harder and harder to find and this place proved it. That being said, their product is great. I've had Italian ice on the east coast and this place reminds of that. They have all kinds of flavors and even have mixes where they layer Italian ice with soft serve. I usually go for one of the fruity flavors in the summer and one of their chocolaty mixes for dessert after a meal. I don't want to count this place out, but hopefully they work on their customer service. I may gave them another chance at some point in the future.
