    Hawaiian Avalanche With Almond Milk
    Steve A.

    Best place in Parma for ice cream. It has an endless amount of good flavors. Zero Zest always seems to have a long line at the window. For sure it's worth waiting awhile. They have mix ins and lots of non dairy selections. A specialty here is the Avalanche. It mixes in candy or fruit with any ice cream. There's almost unlimited combinations you can make. It's about $5 for a medium cup. They have a vegan vanilla ice cream flavor that can also be used. It's made with almond milk. This place is very good for vegans and they also have a few sorbets. It always has long lines but they are fast. It used to be just cash only. They now accept credit cards so they have slightly updated.

    Good service, friendly and reasonable prices. Large assortment of choice and nice find away from Houston.

    The best cherry dipped vanilla cone there ever was. A staple stop in the summertime. So many options on the menu!

    I ordered the Turtle Avalanche. It was amazing. This place deserves more than five stars. The are quick. And friendly. The line was 20 people deep. But they moved it quickly. This place also offers vegan free and soy free ice cream made with Almond milk. You can't go wrong here.

    Chocolate Brownie Avalanche - highly recommend!

    I have loved this place since I was a kid. Is it nostalgia? Maybe a bit but honestly, there's a reason it's popular - just look at the lines during the summer. It's mostly a soft serve place with loads of cone options, avalanches (think dairy queen blizzard but better), shakes, etc. My go-to has been and will always be a chocolate brownie avalanche. Chocolate soft serve with delicious brownies, I always ask that they layer instead of mixing...the brownie pieces are larger and so so much better. But honestly I've sampled a decent chunk of the menu and have never been dissatisfied, there's something for everyone. They now have small cups for the avalanches and I find that to be more than enough. At under $4 you can't beat it. Great on hot days or just when you have a craving. Be sure to read the fact of the day located to the left of the left window, they're always interesting!

    Though in plain sight, it's a hidden treasure for those who don't/can't have dairy. On top of regular dairy ice cream treats, they offer Silk almond milk ice cream products. I ordered the butterfinger avalanche with almond milk. Delicious! Never thought I would be able to go somewhere and have a " DQ blizzard" styled treat again. The ice cream was a normal consistency of regular ice cream where sometime things with almond milk are a little watery. And they are far from skimpy with the toppings. I had a lot of butterfinger in every bite. It never made it home! Highly recommended. Especially for those tired of "plain Jane" ice cream because of allergies.

    New to the neighborhood and was recommended to try Zero Zest which I was told is under new management. I was impressed when I saw they had vegan ice cream, so I had to give it a try. The service was great. With Zero Zest being on the same street as another local ice cream competitor that gets a lot of praise I am glad to say that Zero Zest gives them a run for their money. They have some similarities, but what makes Zero Zest is their unique styles of ice cream and variety. I look forward to coming back

    Dairy free options

    Vegan almond milk vanilla ice cream is great. Can add in plenty of items to mix it up.

    I have been here a handful of times but not in over a year. And I forgot to take a pic, I ate my…read moreice cream too fast. They serve ice cream and also fries and corn dogs. I believe in the winter they serve ramen but I've never had any food just ice cream. I got the mango lassi ice cream cone small that is 2 scoops. And my partner got a cup of the strawberries and cream. We found a seat, ate and people watched. Good place for it. Ice cream was very good. Both the mango and strawberry had chunks in them. Prices are not cheap. But it is super good and they have very inventive flavors. You can taste test. Parking is whatever you can find. No lot just parallel where ever it's OK. Line moves fast. No restrooms. This is just a little storefront in a neighborhood. But it is good. Worth a try.

    Love coming by here for a sweet treat when I'm in the area…read more Their menu has been pretty consistent with offering a variety of flavors (including vegan and gluten-free options), but I love that they also do soft serve, and offer a variety of whipped creams. While I'm particular about their ube (tastes a bit different than what I'm used to), I do like their other flavors (like blueberry latte), and I'm a fan of their peanut butter whipped cream. Highly recommend the banana bread (bruleed) sundae which I tried for the first time this month. Seating available outside as tables, and there's now more seating in area out back. Friendly staff. Parking available as free street parking. Curious to try their savory options like their korean hot dog in the future.
