This is a place I had no intention of having but I have every intention of returning to. I live outside the city and happened to be doing some work in the city at the time and decided I wanted a dessert and this gem is what I found. THANK YOU!! The service was great as I'm a big question asking person and the owner answered all of my questions as well as helped me to place my order. They were located near one of the trails for Hermann Park, right in front of McGovern Centennial Gardens. It was a great location that was easy to find. I'm somewhat skeptical when it comes to places doing other little things like this that have a spin on something that works. Usually the spin is different but not necessarily better or even a real change. This is not that. The donut cone is actually a plus to the ice cream cone experience. It's a soft sweet thing that adds to it. Donuts in particular are something that to me are almost never as good, ie: donut burgers, but it works here. I personally enjoy a sweet donut so their donut cone is good but could actually be a little sweeter for me. They offer a split, cone and sundae with all of them including a variation of the doughcone. I ordered the Handmade DoughCone to keep things simple. The cone has a hole at the bottom but it's plugged with a strawberry to prevent leakage, which is just a bonus. The flavors of the ice cream and toppings is really part of what shined for me. I'm not sure if they make their own ice cream or not but it tasted like a good quality ice cream to me. The ice cream is a fresh vanilla bean, and I'm sure some would want more ice cream flavors but vanilla bean is one of my favorites so it's great for me. I meant to do this review a while ago so I'm not 100% on some of the toppings, but here's what I believe I had. O got either the cookie butter sauce or the strawberry dream drip sauce. It could've been both though honestly knowing me. I don't remember what the secret sauce was at the time I went there. I don't remember what the secret luxury topping was but I got the churro dust and crushed Oreos, as well as some fresh strawberries. Everything was delicious!! All of the toppings worked well together, and as I said it was all with a good ice cream. Getting to eat the doughcone along the way was just the "cherry on top" if you will. It was a good blend of soft but sturdy to hold up everything. I specifically travelled to find this place and after eating it, I can proudly say I'd travel again. Great customer service with great offerings will always be the key to earning me as a repeat customer. read more

I first discovered The DoughCone was at Houston's LGBT New Face Pride Festival in June. I couldn't believe the highlight was about the dough not the ice cream. It was hot that day. I actually enjoyed both ice cream and the dough cone sitting in the shade. On that day, they were giving away toasted marshmallow. Aw so sweet. My DoughCone was in a plastic cup because I knew it will be melted by the time I get to finish the toppings. I liked the texture of the cone... it's made with dough and tasted dense like a cookie. Just shaped like a cone. I am craving it as I wrote this review. I can't wait till summer again. I will seek them out. read more

After revisiting this ice cream truck since the last time, there's been a major improvement and my friends and I were so glad that we went back. The team behind DoughCone were really awesome and efficient. They were able to prepare these sweet treats within a reasonable amount of time and continue to take orders with the guests at the park. We mentioned that we loved their location at McGovern Centennial Gardens and they agree too! Plenty of parking and a wonderful park to browse. The milkshakes were smooth and creamy...a nice consistency. The banana split was loaded with toppings and sauces to liking...such an indulgence. The DoughCone definitely is a classic with their vanilla ice cream along with the signature cone, filled to the brim and placed in a cup to devour. The cup is needed so that you won't be dripping all over the place and can take your time eating it. I loaded mine up with strawberry and peanut butter drizzle (like a PB+J), churro dust, and fruity pebbles. The combos are endless and they all taste great together in my opinion. These treats were so good and everyone agreed! Glad that the team takes constructive criticism and is there to listen to any suggestions...showing care about their customers. Keep up the great work and we will be back again whenever we are craving something sweet. read more

The DoughCone - Food Trucks Near Me

Cute and casual food truck that's definitely a treat whether it's a hot Houston day or it's a cold spell . They offer milkshakes, sundaes, banana splits and their signature thick and chewy dough cone. Don't forget the various mix-ins and toppings, and guess what the ice cream is vegan too!! Today I tried the ice sundae with toasted coconut, chocolate sauce and chocolate/mint pieces read more

The DoughCone - Ice cream sundae - Food Trucks Near Me

Of all the ice cream dessert trucks floating around in Houston, there are none quite like The Doughcone, figuratively and literally. They've been in operation for just under a decade and have established themselves as one of the most unique and "cool" businesses on wheels. They've certainly amassed the popular vote, in terms of reviews and brand awareness, which only gets heightened as this weather gets hotter. The concept is simple: donut cones filled with soft serve ice cream and customized to one's liking. The cones are baked individually and the ice cream is actually vegan. No matter what the combination is, it's always visually impressive and is as convivial as it is edible. There are so many toppings that I've yet to try them all. There are some typical toppings one would see at an ice cream shop (sprinkles, chocolate chip, fruity pebbles, crushed oreos, etc.) and there also some more unique choices such as Belgian chocolate chips, churro dust, and biscoff cookie butter. There are also some premium (#1) choices that include praline pecans, toasted marshmellows, hazelnut cappuccino wafers, and whipped cream. Want a tip? Check-in on Yelp and score a free premium topping. When the weather is hot, the soft serve melts super quick, so I would recommend the obligatory food photo-op and then immediately diving in. I've had a stale cone here and there, but it's bound to happen. These creations are going to be pricey for the average ice cream goer, but if there's any ice cream spot to splurge on, it's definitely something like The Doughcone. Lastly, I want to thank the people in the truck for always being friendly, welcoming, and their willingness to answer all the questions. I also appreciate that each cone is served inside a cup to keep the stickiness at bay. They are a credit / debit only business and they're in a different part of the city almost at all times. Peep their social media for their up-to-date location and fingers crossed it's near wherever you are. ____________ (#1) i.e. costs extra. read more

Loved this ice cream truck!! Grabbed a small cup while at the 713 night market. The staff was super friendly and they worked so quickly despite such a huge line. My sundae was just as delicious as it looked! I'm a big chocolate person and this definitely satisfied my chocolate craving. (The small cup was a lot more packed than I thought!) The dough is unique and super tasty. Hope to run into them again for another bite. :) read more

I checked out this place at Buffalo Bayou in the food truck park off Sabine St. I tried their rainbow Pride cone and it was such a cool idea! I got the secret topping of the day, sprinkles, peanuts, M&M's, and pecan praline (extra). Added the secret sauce of the day which added the perfect complement to this loaded ice cream cone. The owner Avi was super friendly and came over to talk while I waited on my order. This is such a great attribute that really stands out to me among any restaurant or business. I got to learn more about what Dough Cone does and some of the local restaurants they make ice cream for! I look forward to trying more of Dough Cone's ice creams and flavors! Definitely will be checking out their ice creams via the local restaurants as well! read more

The DoughCone - an ice cream sundae - Food Trucks Near Me

Cool idea and yummy snack. They had little cups for the pups, too! You can pick a sundae or cone with a sauce and unlimited toppings. They're knowledgeable about topping combinations, though you'll have to ask. They also have a secret sauce that changes periodically (today was honey). The cone was almost like a doughnut but more firm - kind of hard to eat, totally worth the effort !!! Yummy treat, I couldn't make a habit of eating these (ha!) but great for a hot day, date, etc. And wishing they had more preset options for the indecisive customers (me!!). Great concept for a food truck, always happy when they show up at my apartment complex read more

Tried this ice cream truck at a private event. Menu and portions were different than their regular options. I got a vanilla cup with chocolate drizzle and some sort of cake or cookies dough inside. The ice cream was very good but I didn't really cared about the cookie dough because it was hard. Te portions were good for such a big group/event. Will come back to try their regular menu . read more

I've been meaning to track down this ice cream truck for a while now. Due to serendipity, it just so happened to be parked right outside the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern when I was visiting. Naturally, I jumped at the opportunity. THE PREMISE: Soft serve ice cream (vanilla only) in a cone that is made from dough, resulting in a cone that is thick/soft. Pile on the toppings. THE EXECUTION: I only ordered a few toppings (strawberry, cookie butter, and pecans) but it was still super messy. They serve it in a plastic cup which helps somewhat but the combo of soft serve ice cream and multiple toppings just leads to a messy situation. I spilled on the table, on my shirt, on the ground. The whole time, I was thinking how I'd never take my kids here, haha. Even the staff seemed to have trouble with constructing my cone -- I watched the first attempt fall off the cone (and that's with minimal toppings). THE VERDICT: I want to give this business credit -- it's a novel and unique idea. They are doing their own thing -- good for them. For me, it just didn't quite work as a concept. I think the traditional cone works because it offers a dichotomy of texture -- hard cone, soft ice cream. For me the soft/soft set-up just didn't really work. Additionally, the messiness factor bugged me a bit. I know ice cream cones are always a bit messy but this was beyond that. I'm not going to give them a low review because this may be pure subjectivity. I respect their hustle and creativity and it seems like their owner really cares about the business (clear from reading his responses to reviews on here). While it didn't quite work for me, I still recommend you try it for yourself. read more

Ice cream + doughnut + churro? Yes please! Could you really ask for a better combo? This is pretty much the love child of all three. It's a simple menu, choose your size and choose your toppings. I went for the signature which is a regular sized doughcone with soft serve and unlimited toppings. The service was quick and the cone was fresh and warm. Overall, it was a great experience. I do wish they had different soft serve flavors, but the only flavor they have is vanilla. read more

The concept looks pretty cool, and the donut cone wasn't bad at all, but it didn't blow me away either, I guess to me, it was just blah... the women that helped us with their order was cool! For the experience, it was cool to go and get it because my daughter loves ice cream but even she said she probably won't go back to get it! There's better ice spots!!! read more

June made my day and makes my day every time I come to the park. Just a really kind spirit.

Everything really is bigger in Texas because this was yet another item that I had to figure out HOW to eat it the right way. I was actually in search of a churro, but The DoughCone came up and I decided to give them a try on a really hot day. I got a cone with salted caramel and crushed cinnamon toast crunch, and I enjoyed every bite. Ice cream, toppings, and a doughcone... what's not to like? My only slight critique is that I expected the dough to be a little softer, but I guess the idea is for the ice cream to soften it up and for it all to come together. Also, it seemed like a lot of my caramel was on the bottom of the cone. I definitely recommend them for your ice cream fix and admire the creativity. read more

So I follow them on Instagram and FB and been waiting for them to come to Katy and today was the day. So the truck is so cool and the staff is so friendly and you can tell they love their job and want to make you happy. My husband and I both got the mini dough cone. It came with chips at the bottom of the cup and unlimited toppings. Omg! Yummy! So we got fruity peoples, sprinkles, M&Ms, chocolate sauce and cherries. This was the best cone I have ever had. It's a churro with a ton of cinnamon sugar on it. And you have a ton of toppings at the bottom of the cone and cup. This was so worth the wait and drooling every time I saw it posted. This is such a fun truck to find and worth it. read more

From the time of booking and leading up to the event, I had the pleasure of communicating with the owner himself, Avi. Just after one conversation, I don't know who wouldn't want to cater from him! He is so passionate about his business and such a sweet guy. He was very accommodating and welcoming. What a great dessert truck to have! We had them out for our daughter's birthday and couldn't have made a better choice. The kids and adults enjoyed the experience of building their own sundaes. The staff was extremely friendly and I would highly recommend having The Doughcone at your next event because I sure will have them again! read more

I was really trying to like this place. Loved the dough cone idea, the ice cream was not what I expected, tasted cheap, like crushed ice with milk or something. Was kinda hard to eat, and waaay over priced for what I got. Paid $54 +tip for 3 cones and two kids ice creams in a cup. Dude probably messed up ringing me up or not. I walked away with a bad taste in my mouth with what I received. read more

Okayyyyy so, I've actually tried doughcone 2 years ago, and while the service was AMAZING, the cone was actually pretty hard and not satisfying. So I posted a picture saying that it was a pretty cone BUT the cone was just too hard. The person who owns the trucks Instagram page then messages me and says that I can come by and get a fixed order! He was soooo nice, and I ended up forgetting about it for a long time. So fast forward to today, 2 years later, the person I talked to told me that I was still able to redeem my free cone! How nice AND thoughtful. I came up to the foodtruck and told the guy, and he let me order and I was able to get my cone. Service: really great! I saw that they were making conversation with all the customers and they were overall super nice! Food: it was sooo much better this time! The cone soaked up the ice cream making it nice and flaky, definitely a plus! I got Oreos, chocolate syrup and chocolate chips! Overall, I would definitely come again! This place and service were really great and can't wait to tell my friends about it read more

Gross! The Don't cone! Gross and dough tastes stale. Not worth the price by any means. Neither of my kids would eat it.

Kinda scammy -- I got the sundae with the dough cake pieces at the bottom for around $9.00. There hardly any pieces of cake at the bottom --almost nonexistent. Whatever crumbles they had put in there were hard and stale and gave me a stomach ache. Don't let the pictures fool you. This was at Memorial Park on their truck. Do not recommend. read more
