"A California export launching its first Texas location in Sugar Land by late June or early July, this small-batch, machine-churned ice cream shop emphasizes velvety-smooth product made with premium ingredients sourced from Italy. Owner Saleem Riaz opted for the brand’s traditional machine-churned approach over nitrogen-frozen concepts and plans to grow the franchise with additional Houston sites and eventual expansion to San Antonio or Dallas. The menu leans into trendy, indulgent treats—ice cream–filled croissants in flavors like PB&J and rocky road; ice cream–topped churro donuts; acai sorbet bowls; soda floats; boba tea; and ice creams finished with breakfast cereals—aiming to offer familiar Houston accoutrements alongside its signature churned offerings." - Alaena Hostetter
