The classic banana split is amazing. Nice variety of flavors. Service is always friendly. Pistachio ice cream isnt made with a fake extract and artificial color - tastes exactly like natural pistachios. Sit outside and enjoy people watching.

Cute ice cream place. We had Tahitian vanilla, Dutch chocolate N chocolate chip cookie n they were amazing. Gonna try the floater next time.

My husband and I brought our daughters here for a dessert outing and we all loved it! Super cute place, love the old school ice cream parlor vibe, ice cream creations were awesome..... but the best thing ever is their fruity pebble rice krispy treats!

Best Cookies and cream I have ever had. The cone was super hard and it had a amazing taste. Just overall the place was just a vibe:)

Second time coming here and I completely forgot to review. I enjoyed every little bit of this little place! From the sign once you enter, to the cow ceilings, to the flavors of the ice cream! not only that the texture of the ice cream is just so smooth and creamy, the flavors really punch you in the face which you want! I had a few different flavors, such as the coffee, cookies and cream, Cinnamon toast crunch cereal milk, carrot cake. All delicious! what I did enjoy was that you were able to get two flavors in a small cup! Ive always enjoyed variety and I appreciate them squeezing a couple flavors in a small container. I thought since the Cinnamon toast crunch cereal milk ice cream was limited, why not get a pint? And it was the best decision ever! The only downside is that it is a bit expensive, but for quality, its always worth it!I recommend this place completely! Worth the drive if needed! The service is awesome and you wont be disappointed! Aside from ice cream, they have some boozy options also! Such as Rose sorbet, alcoholic floats, etc.

This place is awesome. All natural ice cream with no artificial colors or fillers. They were making ice cream while we were watching and waiting. Free samples. Tried a few and all were good. Staff super friendly. Highly recommended! I will definitely return.

Great place to get ice cream! They have plenty of options. We tried their beer float and champagne float. Both were delicious! They have a Tahitian Vanilla ice cream that is also very creamy! Love that the spoons change to a purple color once it touches the ice cream. They also serve wine! We will definitely be back!

Great place for dessert after lunch in the Heights. Gives you a feel of yesteryear with a soda jerk (thats what they were called, google it 😂) behind the counter. So many great ice-cream choices and complimentary cookies or brownies. But what you REALLY wanna come for is the beer float flight! Its 4 specific mini beers with a specific ice-cream in each glass. 😋 😋 😋

This shop is so cute. And the boys working had really cute pink outfits. I got the banana split with cookies and cream, pecan praline, pecans, bourbon caramel sauce, and hot fudge. And it was delicious! Nice area too, with parking.

The young waited until I purchased the ice cream to tel me it was Spearmint instead of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. The young man was extremely polite, but the lady wasted my time and my money. As a first time customer, I had a horrible experience experience and would not recommend.

Do the right thing and Treat Yo Self!With a host of ice cream shops in the area, Sweet Bribery is the clear stand out creamery for me. Their ice cream flavors are rich and delectable the perfect cold treat for any Houston day. I tried the popular Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream made with the cereal pieces and the Cream Cheese Carrot Cake made with carrot cake crumbles on a waffle cone--I should mention here; their cones and ice cream are all made on-site, so they bake too!--talk about tasting the freshness! My sweet tooth danced a jig just thinking about it!😋Its a lovely spot and location for hanging out with friends and/or family, or great just to sit and people watch. Ill be back here time and time again as it is now my mission to taste all their flavors. #SummerGoals

So delicious! I chose the Bananarchy and added some amarena cherries. We will definitely be back. Id also like to add that as far as Covid rules go, they had clear signage, multiple hand sanitizer stations and marks on the floor, all of which I appreciated and made me feel safer in the store.

This ice cream shop has great options for both dairy and non-dairy consumers. Theyre open pretty late so thats nice! Customer service is hit/miss...it depends whos working that day.

A hot summer afternoon made this a sweet idea. They still require masks and distancing, should you appreciate the continuance of harmless precautions, as we have become accustomed. My Mexican vanilla shake was drained by the time we got to the house, sans headache.

This is the best ice cream Ive ever had in my life. Ever. I dont even like ice cream usually but the banana pudding is unique and one of the best things Ive ever eaten. The pistachio is chock full of real pistachios. The flavors are out of this world and the texture is perfectly velveteen. My wife and I have driven across the city for pints to take home. No regets.

Vegan coconut key lime pie and strawberry lime verbena were excellent flavors! The strawberry was too sweet, but the key lime was well balanced and delicious

As soon as I walked in the employee gave me an ugly stare. It was my first time there and I wanted to see if he would walk me through the menu or at least any recommendations, so I asked “it’s my first time here. How does this work” and he said “have you ever been to an ice cream place?” And proceeded to say other rude comments through the whole time I was there. I wasn’t able to get his name but he was clearly a white guy and had a cross tattoo on his forearm. Very rude. I never leave reviews but he gave the absolute worse customer service.

We came across this place while driving from the Children’s Museum. Friendly staff, delicious ice cream. The cones are the best! I had never tried cones like the ones they hacer here. Tons of people coming in and out and now I know why. The cookies and cream and Tahitian vanilla were creamy, not overly sweet. Really enjoy the atmosphere.

I tried two flavors Banana Pudding and Bourbon Espresso. I loved second one. Its so delicious. I had a happy moment with rich flavor ice cream and my lovely husband at Sweet Bribery.

Our first time here- 5 of us on a Saturday afternoon- and even with just one person working the front, the service and ice cream creations are multiple times better than Jeni’s!!!The service was impeccable, the ice cream flavors- indescribable- we will definitely be back to Sweet Bribery again...and again....and....😝

DISCLAIMER: THIS REVIEW IS SOLELY FOR THE ICE CREAM CAKE. I bought a cookies and cream ice cream cake for my boyfriends birthday the other day. A whopping 48 dollars!! But I paid for it nonetheless because my boyfriend really wanted ice cream cake. I have no problem paying for a good cake if it is done right. But I come to find out there is hardly any ice cream in the ice cream cake. Very confused. Also the taste was terrible. There is a candy coating on the shell which was really thick and basically took up the entire flavor of the cake. l am still having a tough time rationalizing the price and now whats worse, the cake was very mediocre. Disappointing. I would not recommend the ice cream cake. I wish I could get a refund.Their regular ice cream is great.

Nice staff and the best ice cream in town. Love the Cherry Amarena the most!

My favorite ice-cream spot in Houston. A cute little shop in the Heights with deliciously fun flavors—a few of the cereals top my list.

Most horrible ice cream place Ive ever been to! We came well before closing time, they couldn’t make us a banana split, they didnt have the flavors we asked for and the guy serving was very rude. On top of it all, when we finally did order they gave us a used plastic spoon! Never coming back here again! Dont waste your time or money coming here.

Our favorite ice cream shop. Dont be fooled by the long line outside of Jenis down the street, this place is far better. Better service, ice cream, and so many different dessert options. Texture and flavor are outstanding and balanced. Dont waste your time going somewhere else, just go here!

We have been patrons of this neighborhood ice cream place since it opened. The staff and owner have always been accommodating and make it a friendly environment with great homemade ice cream flavors.They even agreed to go out of their way to make a special ice cream only birthday cake for me. We like it much better than the other place on 19th. It is our kids and grandkids favorite place to go in the Heights.

Best ice cream shop I have ever been to. Just moved to the area and accidentally happened into this place. What a stroke of luck!

Ice cream is excellent. With great flavor list. Their creations are awesome as well.

I honestly might have already posted a review but this place is so good I don’t care about posting twice. They have delicious ice cream flavors and decadent options like brownie and cookie sundaes, champagne floats, and more.

Terrible management with dishonest labor practices! Go elsewhere!!

Good ice cream but the ginger doodle wasnt what I expected. It tasted like a sugar cookie

The manger was amazing, while my friends and I were being indecisive with what we wanted. We would sample one flavor and she would recommend other flavors or topping suggestions. I love her passion about her store and homemade toppings.

Clean, friendly, perfect. It was great

Delicious ice cream and nice decor!

Fast and great customer service! The desserts are phenomenal

The ice cream was great by itself, however, I made the mistake of ordering their brownie sundae. The brownie was frozen to the point where I could use it as a door stop, hammer, or to induce blunt force trauma. I would good go again but steer clear of the sundaes, and if you do get one be sure to ask for a thawed brownie!

Great ice cream and cookie, staff was very nice even though we came in close to closing time. Definitely recommend!

Decadent and delicious desserts for adults. The frosé and champagne scoops are absolutely delicious. Cookies are just as good as the ice cream.

Greatest ice cream shop I’ve been to! 100% would recommend. Staff is really kind too!

Went to this place tonight and had the worst service ever they didn’t have a lot of flavors of ice cream the server was extremely rude and refused to give his name so I could call the manager do not recommend going

The tuxedo brownie and chocolate chip cookie were underwhelming, one person said the ice cream tasted salty? Lots of nice options for mix-ins and adult ice cream treats.

The service is impeccable and the ice cream its a match for the experience. Get in line and enjoy! I recommend the banana split!

Best banana split Ive ever had!Staff was wonderfully polite.

Service was excellent, however, our product was not. We ordered an ice cream with the brownie and the brownie was rock hard. That brownie goes hand in hand with the ice cream. So, I paid $10 for 2 scoops of ice cream. I did address the issue, I was offered an apology.

Great ice cream! Love getting ice cream for my son while I can get a glass of wine for me. They are great with kids (not all ice cream places are).

Delicious. I had the Nutella Rocky Road... great.

Fantastic ice cream awesome place! They have many unique flavors, including cinnamon toast crunch and Baileys cheesecake. You can even make any flavor into a cookie sandwich! The place was clean and and the atmosphere was even better with the 50s style outfits with bowties and artwork. 10/10 would recommend.

Wouldnt recommend this place. I think the person who serviced us was high AF cause he literally stopped midway preparing our dish to just stare at us ( like when your high AF and get lost in a thought) than he asked what else we wanted as if we knew what else went on the dish he was preparing. The dish we ordered was supposed to have a warm cookie but it wasnt. When it was time to pay the guy did they whole stoned lost in a thought thing again and I literally had to say I need to pay. The meal was still good and the cookie was tasty but if it was warm it would have been better

I paid $9.00 for a mint chocolate chip milkshake with Andes mints that tasted like mint flavored milk with all the chips and Andes on the bottom. Seriously, I have no problem paying for a shake, just put enough ice cream to make it a thick shake. The big straw was a plus, just didn’t need it.

We shared the banana split (with the coconut key lime and the caramel apple). It was delicious and the service was nice!

We hadnt been to Sweet Bribery since the pandemic and start of quarantine, but decided we wanted some really decadent dessert last night so ventured down. They had outdoor seating but no indoor seating and ample hand sanitizer and precautions in place. My husband had the chocolate thunder and I made my own ice cream sandwich (chocolate chip cookies with cookies and cream ice cream half dipped in hot fudge). Definitely hit the spot and was better than we remembered! Well definitely be back again soon!

Fast service quality 🍨🍦😋 friendly staff

Good quality desserts and the place is nice.

Service is hit or miss, the first time I went I was welcomed when I walked in to the door, the young lady behind the counter asked us if it was our first time and guided us to pick something. My second time around I had forgotten the menu and a different lady behind the counter just stared aloof and annoyed, I had to endure a really awkward 5 minutes of silence as I tried to figure out what to pick because there wasnt even some background music to fill in the drop dead silence. This time the lady behind the counter offered no help, not even a smile and she seemed annoyed to be making our desserts. Loved all the options available. The thick chocolate layer on top of my brownie wasnt my favorite but overall the taste of the desserts is good.

I absolutely love the bourbon ice cream and the warm atmosphere!

First time here at Sweet Bribery and I love the Banarchy. Yall got to try it!!!

Absolutely terrible and way over priced. Their brownies were too sugary and their ice cream tasted terrible. Avoid at all cost

We love this place, they offer sparkling water, coffee, beer and the best ice cream in town. The staff also is very friendly

Great customer service!

I didn’t order the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream & regretted it! Although the Bourbon Coffee wasn’t a bad choice...

Came in a quiet Wednesday. They let my daughter and I try a couple flavors. She got the cookies and cream which was delicious. I got the bourbon espresso which was equally amazing. The place is modern but also has that old school ice cream shoppe feel. Also the sweets were delicious too. Great chocolate chip cookies!

And absolute delight!

Loved loved the ice cream is so creamy and tasty my husband took me here for our date and I enjoyed every bite of my cone and the customer service was outstanding so nice and sweet all around

Very good, wish they had more flavors of ice cream.

Cool place, nice for meeting with friends. The mint ice cream was sub par, but the chocolate was good, from the bite I had of my friend’s. People were super nice :)

Went in for the first time to get a couple scoops and a champagne float, Marcus working the counter was extremely upbeat and helpful, my whole experience and service was amazing!! I will definitely be coming back again! 💛🍨

Vegan coconut key lime pie and strawberry lime verbena have been first-rate flavors! The strawberry was once too sweet, however the key lime was once properly balanced and scrumptious

What a sweet treat any night of the week. My favorite creamery in the cutest hamlet. A wonderful selection of ice cream plus adult beverages. A fabulous helpful and attentive staff is their to help you make the perfect selection. The perfect spot for family, friends or first dates.

Hands down, THE best ice cream experience in town. Real malts, the old school kind. Did you say local microbrews and wines as well?! Yes, yes I did!

We had the fruity pebble milk, and the Dutch chocolate ice cream. They were both perfect.Their other deserts looked absolutely wonderful as well. If I had my way, I would’ve bought everything I could’ve.The staff was super nice and helpful! The only issue I had was the cucumber water they offered for free. Washing down delicious ice cream with cucumber water didn’t taste that great.

This ice cream is on another level. Its incredibly smooth, creamy, rich, and decadent small batch ice cream made with quality ingredients and no additives or stabilizers. I had Banana Puddin, expecting it to be loaded with chunks of vanilla wafers and bananas. Nope - what I got was even better. It was the smoothest ice cream Ive ever had, and tasted exactly like my grandmas banana pudding. Its pricey, but its worth every penny when you feel like treating yourself.

Delicious variety of deserts!! The staff is very helpful with choosing a selection.

Good ice cream

Customer service should be improvised. Lady that works there should really SMILE or act like shes happy to be there.

Such a cute little place with amazing flavors- they rotate out their flavors so there is always something different to look forward to! The employees are so nice. Ive always had positive experiences coming here, definitely recommend!!

Really cute spot. Old school soda shop environment. They make the ice cream right there, its not delivered by a large supplier. The staff was very friendly & let us have as many samples as we needed to decide. I got a kids scoop on a cone & it was plenty for me as an adult!

Came on a Saturday afternoon. The employees are sweet and attentive. They let us try a couple of flavors. I had the Tahitian vanilla - it was delicious! Ill definitely come back.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Ice cream was delicious, as was the fruity pebbles rice krispy treat. Much less crowded than some other local ice cream spots, so a good place to hang and have a conversation with a sweet treat

Staff was unfriendly and robotic, the ice cream was eh I prefer Fat Cats Creamery much more.

Very nice place for a sweet break

The ice cream is incredible. We were amazed by the flavors tasting so real. The mint especially was a great flavor. Definitely will come back when in town.

Awesome place! Atmosphere is great, staff is very friendly and of course ice cream is delicious. Definitely try my favorite cookies and cream.

Great customer service and a cool atmosphere. It was our first time here and the staff was so helpful. The sparkling pitaya was the perfect summer drink! I suggest the strawberry lemon ice cream with the cone!

Love Sweet Bribery! More power to local Houston businesses!

The ice cream is great, but the chocolate sauce is nothing more than Hersheys syrup. Cookies and Rice Krispy treats are very good.

What a fantastic place! I ordered the beer float and thought it was going to be a gimmicky desert but it was amazing! I highly recommend it. And the ladies working behind the counter could not be nicer.

Customer service was excellent. But not friendly to diabetics or anyone that has to have a low/no sugar desert. Very not cool. Other then that, pretty decent ice cream, but not a lot of condiments or sections with ice cream with nuts.

Tasty ice cream and baked treats on the corner in Downtown Heights. You can get regular ice cream, or a small selection of baked goods (like brownies and rice crispy treats), and they even have adult beverage treats like the Vanilla Porter Float.

Best ice cream place around. Defenetly will satisfy your taste buds! Unique flavors

I had banana split and it was exceptional!!

Nice details with spoons that change color with the temperature and custom house made mix-ins. Icecream is tasty but could be richer. Very pricey, service is good.

Extensive menu combined with samples of the more exotic items was a real plus. Also neat how you could watch the cones be made by hand in front of you. The cookies and cream is a must!

1 persons working behind the counter on a Saturday afternoon. Took 20 mins. Only 5 people in front of me. Also, they were out of ice cream cones completely.

The staff is very friendly and welcoming! I love their uniforms. Makes me feel like Im in Back to the Future:) They have a variety of flavors and toppings! You can also get pastries, coffee and beer/ wine!

This place was great! The spouse and I went the second day they were open for a date and Im so glad we did.The staff was incredibly sweet and helpful.The ice cream was good and Im excited to try some of their pastries next time I go. I had the Swift Kick which if you are a fan of coffee and ice cream I *highly* recommend. They scooped espresso coffee ice cream with bits of handmade bourbon honey comb brittle, put a large delicious sweet/salty cookie on the side and finished the whole thing off with a pour of cold brew. The cookie absorbed the cold brew while I ate the amazingly delicious treat which was just perfect.My only negative is they are a little on the pricier side so this will be a place we go more for special occasions as we each only got one treat and totaled out around $22.

A lot of smoke with very little heat. The model seems to be leaning heavily on liquids - as in floats. There are various flavors, but IMHO these arent that interesting. A great deal of toppings is offered to improve the taste of the ice cream. The waffle cones are quite bland.

Try the Galactic Chocolate Pop and it was amazing. Its a chocolate cake pop with chocolate ice cream with strawberry candy through out cover in chocolate. Love the different textures that was in the ice cream.

Such a sweet owner. Hand makes everything including sprinkles! Precious! Carrot Cake Ice Cream was the best!

The ice cream was phenomenal! Nice little hidden gem in the heights.

Great concept Yummy have not taste the honey Bars in years and super clean plus Champagne, wine and cream sodas were amazing
