Honeychild’s Sweet Creams Opens In the Heights | Eater Houston

"Located inside M-K-T Heights at 600 N. Shepherd, #450, this Houston-based custard brand opened its first brick-and-mortar shop in a light-filled, design-forward space with terrazzo accents, an open kitchen overlooking the White Oak Trail, and a floor decorated with half-moon shapes; customers can sit at a long communal table or at bar seating looking into the kitchen. Kathleen Morgan, who started the business in 2014, emphasizes sourcing ingredients from local farms and makers such as Mill-King Creamery, Plant It Forward, PPF Farming Co., and Lightsey Farms, and the shop—designed by architect Nicole Barrios and interior designer Adriana Oxford—highlights that local approach. Treats include warm peach cobbler topped with custard, cookies, and granola, and there are 16 daily scoops with seasonal flavors like buttermilk pie, Texas sheet cake, vegan pear butter, orange Dreamsicle, sweet potato, and Mustang grape sorbet; options include a honey cornmeal waffle cone, an ice cream sandwich, or a pint to go. Hours are Tuesday–Wednesday 11 a.m.–9 p.m., Thursday–Friday 11 a.m.–10 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.–10 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m.–6 p.m." - Adele Chapin
