Super cute well decorated spot with delicious food and very fun merchandise! I will say, if you get overstimulated this may not be the relaxing place you need, but it was very fun for the kids to look at things. It's a great interactive experience. It may take awhile for you to get your ice cream since only one employee is there at a time, but it's well worth the wait.

My childhood dream came true!

Food:5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Price: $ Service: 5/5 I was visiting Dallas with my friend and was taken The Spelled Milk by a friend who live there. I had the best experience and just made my childhood came true! The owner was amazing and they have thousands selection of cereal, which is crazy to me! Any cereal you ever dreamt about, just ask they got it! The best part is that they made their own ice cream. 10/10 would highly recommend and I will be back!

The wait was a little long, but honestly, it was totally worth it, if I had to wait that long again somewhere else I wouldn't do it but the owner and his staff are so nice and they kept checking in with us asking us if we needed any water or anything. Me and my sister had gotten the Horchata milkshake and it was so good. Michael had gave us samples while we waited and that's why we picked what we did. I would absolutely love to come here again

Shining stars of this place = the wild menu and the friendliest owner I've met in town. They have everything from exotic cereal and candies to a lucky charms cookie dough soft serve brownie split. The ice cream was great. The brownie was more cosmic brownie than homemade bakery. The owner was so kind! Super cool shop inside and out. Only reason I give this place 4 stars and not 5 is because it can be slow. Be prepared to wait! But worth it.

My sister was the one who found this hidden gem & decided to introduce me. From the outside you would think you'd have a small idea of what it looked like indoors but truly it exceeds all expectations. The owner was so informative and helpful even though he was so busy. We got that viral mango ice cream, spilt an ice cream sundae and got a sonnys angel to unbox a piece. The matcha ice cream was soo good and the cbd ice cream had me feeling groovy. His music taste is fire. So many games to choose from. So many exotic treats, cereals, & trinkets. I'm actually back tonight with my sister! I plan on trying the whole menu.

This is a super cute ice cream shop. The owner is super friendly. They have an awesome selection if retro and international snacks/drinks. My only concern is that the menu is super long and a little bit confusing. I think a rotating and simplified menu would be helpful for customers as well as speed of service. I love the concept though! Love that they have a retro nintendo and a bunch of board games you can check out while waiting/eating your treats.

this was such a fun concept!! got the cereal flight that comes with 3 cereals, your choice of milk and 2 ice creams. the wait was a little long but i think it was because they hand make the ice cream to what you like go add to it. went on a sunday night and they were really busy!! waited about 40 min. the owners were really nice. i would def go back !

A selection that is so big you wonder if you've even tried cereal before

If you occasionally enjoy cereal, or icecream, step up your game and stop by The Spelled Milk. Honestly I expected to stop in and pick some mediocre novelty like fruity pebbles on a scoop of simple vanilla, like other cereal themed shops I've visited. Instead I had an infinitely better experience. My group talked to the owners about the months of work gone into crafting the crazy selection of cereal from all around the world. A few of them sound similar in the surface, but after sampling 5+ I knew we were in something different. If you haven't been here, stop by and thank me later. My group ended up ordering all different milkshakes and we loved all of them. If you're in doubt, the maple bacon shake is all you need. They opened back in December, and you can tell they they are going to be your new favorite dessert. Whether you pick something new or pick something safe, it doesn't matter cause you picked the right place.

Well well! This was the perfect little date, quick snack, nostalgic spot !! Let me start by saying you could never go wrong with some cereal !! But here you have 100 choices, not to mention they have their signature mixes !! Get this THEY MAKE THEIR OWN ICE CREAM !! And add it to cereal or for milkshakes !! Not only that but there is dairy variety ! Gluten sensitive, keto and all that jazz !! You can even get a protein shake !! Always the ambience as you can tell is awesome !! There's board games to play, the little nes to play ! And a bunch of snacks and goodies !! The service is amazing , they'll tell you all the choices and are super welcoming !! MUST MUST TRY !!

Wall of choices!

Spelled Milk has been on my "Must Try" list for a long time. Not a place I'd pick for myself, but a place I knew my kids would LOVE. What a great surprise. Thankfully on a Friday afternoon it wasn't too busy as we were able to park in one of two spots out front - I'm not sure where else you'd park if you don't get one of these two spots as I didn't really notice a lot or other parking around. It's a bit brighter and more cheerful inside than the outside appears, but the lighting still gives it an "after hours club" feel. Immediately the kids noticed the wall of cereal and were blown away these were just SOME of their choices. The woman working, maybe owner? was so kind and let them know they could try whatever they wanted. We limited our samples to two each and immediatly knew what we wanted. While you can also get ice cream, milkshakes, or get creative with a cereal + ice cream combo, we just stuck to plain ol' cereal with milk. Between the three of us we had (2) Lucky Charms S'mores and (1) Fruit Loops Marshmallows. Since we don't do any sugar cereal, EVER, this was a huge treat and a really fun experience to share with the kids. It was also nice to be able to try something fun and different that isn't your typical grocery store staple. We enjoyed it so much we took an order "to go" for them to surprise dad with later that night. If you enjoy cereal, are looking for someplace different to take your kiddos or friends, or are simply wanting to try someplace new and off the beaten path I'd definitely recommend Spelled Milk.

We had a blast! delicious cereal options and great customer service. Will definitely be returning

I took my son to The Spelled Milk yesterday for his 16th birthday. What a cool place with such friendly people. We had a magical concoction of delicious cereals, played Super Mario Bros and a mean game of Uno. It was like going back home to simpler times just eating cereal and playing games. The kiddo even got some free stickers and a donut for his birthday. We will be back for sure!

I was in Texas last week for a trip, and on my last day in Dallas, I was walking around this…read moreneighborhood when I happened upon Emporium while on my way to dinner. I went in, talked to the employees, asked which pies were shelf stable and could survive a trip to Austin, and after being told which, I promised I'd come back after dinner. When I came back, they were out of the apple, so I bought a pumpkin pie, or as it's known on the menu, Drop Dead Gourdgeous, which, as a person who loves word play, already gives this place a 5/5. The employees were so incredibly helpful and kind, and being able to come here and get something for my friends in Austin made this worth transporting everything from Dallas to Austin worth it. I don't know if they do, but I really hope they deliver frozen pies, because even in California, they would have a customer for life out here because of their hospitality and amazing customer service. The place wasn't too loud since they were in the last 90 minutes or so of business hours, but it was great because I got to ask them all of the questions I needed. If they don't deliver frozen pies, then I will definitely find my way back here one day.

I paid $17.32 for two slices of pie at Emporium Pies, and it was a total rip-off…read more Calling this place an "Emporium" is absurd. The boxes are huge and fancy, but they are mostly full of empty space. When you open them, the actual slice inside is tiny. It is just a thin sliver sitting on a big sheet of paper. Charging almost nine dollars a slice for a few small bites is ridiculous. I almost brought an out-of-town guest here to show off Dallas bakeries, and I am so glad I went alone first. Handing a visitor a micro-slice in a giant box would have been embarrassing. Do not waste your money here. You are paying high prices for tiny portions hidden in pretty cardboard.

My Americano came out hot and had a really good bold flavor. I love adding cream to my coffee, and once I did, it balanced out that strong kick perfectly. The beignets were made fresh to order and took about 7 minutes to come out. They were hot, soft, and very fluffy, almost more similar to a donut than a traditional beignet. Since most of my beignet experience comes from New Orleans, Louisiana, I definitely had a different texture in mind going in. I personally wish they had been a little crispier, especially around the edges, but they were still decent and enjoyable. Overall, I had a good experience. Between the welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, good coffee, and fresh beignets, I would definitely try Le Bon Temps again without hesitation.

I highly recommend that the business remains in this location; the community was incredibly welcoming and clearly excited to have ZZ's Ice Cream there.

The little guy in front me asked for a milkshake and the young lady ask in a rude way what cookie and ice cream flavor he wanted.

After riding scooters around Dallas, we stumbled across The…read morePeach Cobbler Factory and, with a name like that, of course we had to come back and try it. First bonus: they have their own little dedicated parking lot, which is definitely appreciated in Deep Ellum. Inside, there's also a cute greenery wall that makes a nice spot for pictures. Now, let's get to the important part-the desserts! They have everything: peach cobblers, banana puddings, ice cream, shakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, cheesecake, brownies, churro sticks and more. But we came to a place called The Peach Cobbler Factory, so naturally we were getting peach cobbler. And then we discovered they have DESSERT FLIGHTS. Genius! I love a flight because you get to try several things without committing to just one. We chose four small desserts--three cobblers and a banana pudding--plus vanilla ice cream with what seemed like a little cinnamon sprinkled on top. Let me just say: this flight was diabetes on a plate. Everything was SWEET. My favorite was the mango peach cobbler. It was very sweet, but that mango and peach combination was delicious and easily took the #1 spot for me. My sister's favorites (and basically tied for my second favorite) were between two. The blackberry peach cobbler. The blackberry gave it that rich, almost blackberry-pie flavor mixed with the peaches, and it was SO good. Then there was the sweet potato pecan cobbler. Completely different flavor from the blackberry peach, so it was almost impossible to compare the two. Sweet potato and pecans together with the cobbler, especially paired with the vanilla ice cream, Delicious. Our fourth choice was the red velvet banana pudding, layered with banana pudding and red velvet with vanilla wafers. That was the one we could leave behind. It wasn't terrible, but with this much sugar and this many calories on the table, it simply wasn't worth the calories for us. Overall, the dessert flight was the star of the show and such a fun way to sample several flavors. Three definite winners out of four, and we had a great time trying them and comparing favorites. A great little Deep Ellum find--and if you go, GET THE FLIGHT! One note: something like 'the flight size was perfect to share, but the full portions looked like way too much. It would have been way too rich. It might be great if they offered that smaller size as a standard option.

And does anyone really need cake at 9 or 10 o'clock? Well... if you have a late night craving for something sweet, this is the spot that's going to hit just right (day or night, actually). If you're going to indulge, this is the way to do it. These folks are baking up tasty, moist cakes in a jar, perfectly portioned for one. I have a thing for single serving desserts. Somehow that makes me feel less guilty like I'm having a "responsible" treat (just don't ask how many times I've ordered because we're not going to talk about that in this review, ok :-) On my latest order, I had it delivered from door dash and went with the Taro cake: moist purple love in dessert form, and the cheesecake. The packaging is on point, with secure sealing, utensils and a bow! Plus, the cheesecake arrives in a little insulated bag so it's at the perfect temperature. It's cute and practical. I've ordered from here several times now, and it's been consistently good. I'm not a huge icing person, so I appreciate that theirs isn't overly sweet and mostly stays on top...easy to mix in or scrape off depending on your mood. Bottom line? Late-night cravings, evening pick-me-ups, or just because you want some tasty cake... Cake4One is the kind of habit you don't really want to break. Happy Eating!
