Melt provides a cheerful vibe in which to enjoy boutique creams with a social conscience. It's the kind of place whose product is as much how you feel as "what you get".
Is there a happier food than ice cream? Even so, we've all been to sad creameries with sticky counters and dated decors. Melt excels at it's brand of "Fine Texas Dairy", providing a small selection of really interesting flavors, many having Texas-themed names (Salt Lick, Cup of Texas, etc.). And the ice cream is just DANG good.
On a recent visit with my daughter, who has been an ice cream girl her whole life, we were informed it was "Global Act Of Kindness Day". We were invited to participate by pulling a sticky with a kind message on it ("You are loved" "You're the coolest", etc.) down from the window that someone else had paid for that could be applied towards the purchase of our cones. We chose to use one and pay for another, providing the opportunity to both pick and write a kind message. Cool idea.
I ordered the Pumpkin Cheesecake on a peppermint cone, cuz why not? DeeLISH. Outdoor seating was nicely lit, if a bit chilly when we were there. Melt has collaborated with the mad scientists of brew at Martin House in a cream ale. They are legendary in the Montgomery community. Highly recommended!
