Cloud 10 Creamery

I rarely come here ONLY because of parking. It’s either metered or there is a parking garage (which I’ve never tried). I’ve always been lucky enough find a spot around the corner in the village, but parking sucks!
Once you’re in, it’s GREAT! They have season flavors and non seasonal flavors. There is a select few to choose from but there WILL be one you like. Many favors are non traditional but there will always be a chocolate or vanilla. Don’t be afraid to ask to try different flavors. Be a risk-​taker! Cloud 10 also serves hot chocolate, shakes, banana splits and other ice cream treats. They even have an «adult» shake.
Limited seating inside, however there are seats outside.
The the «ice cream» chef (if you will) has won several awards, so you won’t be disappointed.

This place is a hidden little hole in the wall. But omg they have so many uncommon flavors to choose from that are delicious. I ordered the banana split which was huge! And the toppings are so fresh. Only 4 stars because it is very small. I love the various options of cones or cups. My family and I will be revisiting.

Claps for the best banana split. This banana split was divine. The caramelized bananas were my favorite!

I appreciate the inclusiveness of Cloud 10 Creamery by offering (non-​dairy) sorbets. Vegans can eat here with their non-​vegan friends, and everyone can order something they enjoy! During each of my visits there have been two divine sorbet options in the case. My usual order is one scoop of each sorbet in a cup. Sadly, the cones are not vegan. The flavors change over time… the most recent have been poached pear sorbet and sour green apple sorbet. Yum!
I’ve been here for both a date night on the weekend and with my family during the daytime on a weekday. The line on Friday evening was quite long, and it took 15+ minutes to order. There was a diverse group of people at the creamery, and so the wait wasn’t too bad with the interesting people-​watching opportunities. If you don’t want to wait, I think there is an option to order ahead of time. On the weekday, we were the only customers and had the entire shop to ourselves!

I was sort of underwhelmed by this place. Maybe it was just really hyped up by my friends, but I found the ice cream to be sort of mediocre. Sure, they had cool weird flavors, but the ice cream itself was just fine. I’d definitely come back, but it didn’t blow me away by any means.

Been hearing this ice cream shop from friends so decided to go and check this place out! I was bummed that they didn’t have the café sua da ice cream but the pandan ice cream caught my eyes! I love pandan a lot. Their pandan ice cream was really good! And very creamy! Definitely coming back here again to try their other flavors

The ice cream served here is very delicious. They have a limited selection of ice cream, although I don’t know if this is seasonal favors or not.
When I went I got the vanilla ice cream in a small. I think it’s one of the best vanilla flavored ice cream out there because although it’s sweet, they don’t overdue the sugar. A small here is two scoops, however it’s worth the price. The scoops they give you are huge! I didn’t know if I could finish it or not!
The reason I did not give this five stars is because of its location. Although it’s at West U and near rice village, there is absolutely no convenient parking! Even Hanover’s retail parking is garbage. Because it’s below Hanover apartments, I doubt this ice cream shop will ever go out of business. However, it might have a limited reach to other customers due to the parking issues here. Location, location, location is key to attracting customers and expanding your business’ reach.

Only have been to Cloud 10 once before and got Toasted Rice ice cream in a cone (⁵⁄₅): awesome and strange flavor; it gives you the image of rice in your head, and tastes semi-​sweet and cinnamon-y…quite pleasant.
Today, I had a cone (where you can get two scoops of different flavors, if desired) with Strawberry Ricotta and Matcha with Lychee, a really nice combo. The Strawberry Ricotta (³⁄₅) had a sweet and smooth taste, but not sure where the ricotta came in. The strawberry was the dominant flavor. The Matcha with Lychee (⁵⁄₅) had a semi-​sweet taste of green tea and had little lychee jellies mixed in the ice cream.
The lady at the counter was really generous about sampling, so I tried some other flavors as well.
Lemon Mint Sorbet: tangy and tart at first, but mint was way to strong for me
Mango Sorbet: just like any other mango flavored ice cream, sweet and tropical
Marzipan: sweet like frosting on a cake, so if you like sugary sweet things, this is for you
Sesame Oil with Garlic: strange flavor, definitely tasted the sesame, but not the garlic too much; wasn’t very appealing to me since the sesame was really strong
Cloud 10 is a great place for appeasing a sweet tooth or venturing weird flavors of ice cream.

Loved this place! I didn’t want a lot of ice cream but did want something to satisfy the sweet tooth, and the Nutella rocky road pop hit the spot! Tried my hubby’s passion fruit/​lemon mixtute, which was really refreshing and delicious as well. Will definitely try to hit up this spot any time I come to Houston! Or open up in Dallas!

This was my second trip to Cloud 10 and it really made me regret not going as often. My first visit was last year or the year before last and I got the «Milk & Cereal» ice cream which was good! Parking is a pain so be mindful of that. We discovered a very tiny parking garage behind Cloud 10 and we were lucky enough to get a front parking spot. The first 10 minutes are free and it’s $ 1/​hr. It wasn’t crowded when we got there and we were intrigued by all of their flavors that they were serving. The lady was nice enough to let us sample as many flavors as we wanted so we sampled 7 of them:
Crème Fraiche & Rose (⁴⁄₅) — Not sure what that’s even supposed to taste like but it was good nonetheless. Thankfully it didn’t taste flowery.
**Lemon & Cumin (⁵⁄₅) — Just the right amount of lemon. Not too sour and not too overpowering. This was 1 of the 3 winning flavors that we chose!
Café Sua Da (⁵⁄₅) — If you love Vietnamese coffee then you will definitely love this flavor! Also, if you love coffee ice cream, then I recommend this flavor as well.
**Toasted Rice (⁵⁄₅) — This flavor is to DIE for! I’m not really sure how to even describe the taste of it. It kind of reminds me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal but not as sweet. I don’t know, just get it!
Pear-​Ginger Sorbet w/​Candied Sugar (³⁄₅) — You can definitely taste the ginger which I don’t mind but not at the top of my list when choosing an ice cream flavor. It’s not bad though.
**Pandan & Toast (⁵⁄₅) — Get this! You will not regret it. It tastes exactly like the name implies.
Nutella w/​Marshmallows (¹⁄₅) — Tastes like chocolate ice cream with marshmallows, nothing special to it. The cashier told me that this was one of their popular flavors but I’m gonna have to disagree.
The 3 flavors that we chose have asterisks by their names listed above. The total came out to be $ 6.50 for 3 scoops — kinda pricey for ice cream but it was well worth it. They also have a water dispenser too which I thought was nice since a lot of ice cream places like to sell water bottles to make extra money out of their customers. Thanks for giving us a taste of heaven!

This gem is tucked away in rice village, located next to Cyclone Anaya’s. I had the s’mores sundae, but I requested they make a smaller version, to my surprise she obliged. You pick your own ice cream flavors which I like. I picked Marley and raisin. Soooooo delicious! They have a very unique collection of ice creams and flavors and I would say, I’d try most of them! Parking is street. I lucked up and located a spot right in front of the building. Parking can be a hassle any time you’re in rice village.

I’m always on Cloud 9 when I go to Cloud 10!
Cloud 10 makes ice cream grown up; taking your childhood dessert and kicking it up a notch. These are distinct ice cream flavors that I’m pretty sure you’ll never find elsewhere. Toasted rice, brown butter & peppercorn, panguan — only a few of the wonderful menu items crafted in-​house daily. They even make their own cookies for their ice cream sandwiches!
My favorite combination has to be the toasted rice ice cream with puppy chow topping. I also swear by the Chai push-​pop. There mochi covered ice cream is phenomenal. For a fancier ice cream place, Cloud 10 won’t break the bank and you’ll be treating your tastebuds to a bit of heaven.

If I’m in the Rice Village area, I’ll stop by for ice cream here! They have unique flavors that are on rotation. Some are seasonal as well, so there’s always something different to try! They offer unique ice cream desserts such as sundaes, macaron ice cream sandwiches, and pushpops.
My favorites have been the nutella marshmallow, toasted rice, mango sorbet, and caphe sua da. Everything tastes like the flavor it is. Their ice creams are creamy and rich in flavor. They have toppings that you can put on the ice cream after you pick your flavors if you want, too.
They allow you to sample their ice creams if you can’t decide what you want or aren’t sure if you’ll like it. When it’s busy though, you’re limited to sampling 3 flavors. When they first opened, there was more of a line but it’s gotten better now.
This place is a little pricey for ice cream, but the quality of the ice cream is good and it’s worth it to try their more unique flavors.

Went to this place after two other places closed earlier than posted on Unilocal.
And I’m soooo glad I got to check out this place!
They have very mature flavors including things like earl grey and pomegranate, Nutella and marshmallow, toasted rice, and some other things I wasn’t familiar with so I can’t remember. Apparently there are unique flavors every time you go in!
The only problem I see with this place is there is not defined line, so it kind of this swarm of people around the case. It reminded me of Wall Street people trying to sell and buy stocks. Nightmare.
With all the pressure of everyone, I didn’t even want to ask the poor girl to give me a sample.
I ended up ordering a small (1 scoop) chocolate brownie sundae and my boyfriend ordered a regular (3 scoop) vanilla bean sundae.
The chocolate brownie was good. The lady making it took a lot of pride in making it. She put the raspberry marshmallows on with tweezers for goodness sake!
The vanilla bean was out. Of. This. World. The ice cream alone is insane but they put a mango sauce and white chocolate syrup on top with meringue crisp that is to die for. At first it seemed like maybe my boyfriend should have just gotten a small but I ending up eating a lot of his so it was great!
Definitely going back!

This place seems to be known for having come up with creative ice cream flavors for Houston, trying to be avant-​garde. This experimentation will also be reflected in higher prices than the other typical ice cream places. But oddly enough, about half of the flavors offered where very generic.
The only problem is that they should have tasted and experimented the creative flavors before selling it to the public — especially if their flavor options are going to be pretty small — six creative flavors out of the total 12. Two of the creative flavors simply didn’t appeal, and we were curious about the other four. Of the four, two were hits and two were misses. What we did like was the tamarind orange sorbet (maybe not too creative, but it’s a mix I haven’t seen before), and oat with persimmon ice cream (nice idea). So we limited ourselves to these two flavors even though they didn’t complement each other well. Do you see the problem here? For complementary flavors, you may have to go with the ubiquitous generic flavor you can get anywhere and pay the higher prices, OR stick with one flavor which isn’t the best way to explore the creativity of the shop.
And on top of that — the texture of the ice cream flavors varied widely — with the sorbet being perfectly soft like cream whereas the ice cream was hard and tough — even the scooper had to scrap and strain in order to get a full scoop.
Because of these things, I’m hesitant to recommend this place for ice cream. Maybe to explore the flavors once in a while, but I wouldn’t rate this shop highly overall for Houston.

Pretty good ice cream not the best but unique flavors with a twist like their corn ice cream and the Nutella with marshmallows, they have limited Flavors but still pretty interesting ones
Hopefully the next Time I come back they have others

I love ice cream… so you can only tell that these 5 stars are worth something! Today, I ordered egg custard, nutella with marshmallows, and vanilla bean. I wasn’t a huge fan of the marshmallows in the nutella, but then again it wasn’t my first choice (I was sharing with my boyfriend). I LOVE vanilla bean and cannot turn it down whenever it is available. They definitely don’t disappoint! The egg custard also sounded weird at first, but it was perfect. Reminded me of a very cold spoon of egg tart. YUM!
**I also advise to get the cone on the side instead of a topping. You get the entire cone and can skip the mess of eating it off the cone. I sometimes don’t prefer cones because I want to be able to try all the flavors and not just one at a time.

OMG. OMG. OMG. This is ice cream. These are sundaes. This is what dessert should be.
Went in last night around 8 for a dessert/​snack. Tried the vanilla bean sundae — with is vanilla bean ice cream over mango chunks, with a brown sugar crumble, pieces of toasted meringue, and white chocolate magic shell.
Offered in small or large. I got the small, which is just one scoop, which is a perfect size.
Their ice cream flavors are interesting and seasonal — I tried something with corn in it last night, and thought it was good, but almost too subtle.
They also have paletas, push pops, and creamy popsicles, which all looked beautiful!
Definitely heading back for more treats soon! It’s definitely going to be my go to for ice cream in Houston!

Want some excitement in your ice cream choice? You’ve found your place! Cloud 10 offers a unique set of flavors for your every day ice cream needs. Marzipan to Nutella and marshmallow. They even have a tiramisu push pops (ladyfingers included!) Oh yum!
If you’re not an adventurous eater, have no fear! They too have dark chocolate and vanilla!
Its a bit on the heavy side so be forewarned.
My minus one star is due to the website. It has not been updated over a year! Thus, is difficult to grasp what flavors exactly are in rotation. Maybe they are the same from last year… but at least change the year so people write off the website completely.

I ordered their famous banana split and vanilla bean sundae. Their take on a banana split was creative and delicious. It starts with a scoop of their nutella and marshmallow ice cream, topped with a caramelized banana, candied pecans and a chocolate magic shell covering. I loved it! It was soo good! I highly recommend this, and if you just want a scoop of ice cream, definitely get the nutella and marshmallow. The vanilla bean sundae was more fruity since it consisted of mangos, a slice of toasted meringue and white chocolate magic shell with a brown sugar crumble. I really enjoyed the meringue! The mangoes can be slightly tart, I guess depending if they’re in season. If you want something less sweet and more fruity, get this one!
Overall, a very creative take on classic ice cream sundaes and I wish I had more time on my visit to try more items!
