Gold Pops started its frozen desserts journey in 2018 with the intention of using unique and fresh ingredients. Unlike the others, this artisan does not use pre-frozen fruits that come in packages. Instead, they hand-pick their fruit selections in order to bring the best all-natural flavors. Indeed, “fresh, simple, quality ingredients make for an excellent frozen treat.” A year later, they have introduced a new concept that is first to Texas: fried ice cream on a stick. The experience of both fire and ice in your mouth will just make you “blown away.” Besides their “many delicious flavors,” the owners “listen to what the customer suggests. They tweak the menu every two weeks based upon popular requests, and offers an assortment of mixed flavors.” Think of “apple pie” and “KitKat” flavor. So, “if you love gourmet popsicles, this is the place for you.”

Melt Ice Cream is an ice cream shop with a pretty big menu specializing in interesting flavors and a couple vegan/dairy free options. The flavor of the ice cream dominates and not the sugar and balances perfectly with the creaminess and texture of the product. The aesthetic of this shop is so pleasing! It's a cute little shop wedged in between other buildings. Parking is pretty accessible around this area too! Melt has been serving happy ice cream to the fine folks of Fort Worth since 2014 when the owner figured out what was missing from Fort Worth's eclectic Near Southside, it was “ice cream!” With her passion for bringing joy to people's lives, Melt opened its doors and the scoop slinging began. Since then, Melt Ice Cream has been pouring love into their unique flavors and putting smiles on faces from all over the Metroplex and beyond.

Hot and tropical climate is the perfect excuse to have an ice cream from Azucar Ice Cream Company! It is an “ice cream and sorbet boutique” located in Dallas Texas. The concept of the store came out of the love for the owner’s abuela (grand mother) who has the passion for ice cream and admiration for Miami's little Havana neighborhood and what it represents. They use the “highest quality, all natural ingredients” and a desire to bring smiles to friends faces. Whenever possible, they use locally grown, seasonal fruits and vegetables from “South Florida farmer's markets” and red land, Florida growers. Azucar Ice Cream Company makes ice cream and sorbet flavors daily, continuing to challenge their creativity with new tropical flavors and striving to bring delight to their client's faces.

"Drink what you like" is the motto of the Checkered Past Winery. They are located in the historic South Side on Lamar Building, "across the street from the Dallas police station". Aside from the "live music", they also have "a good beer selection if wine isn't your thing". They make their own quality wines, over 20 locally-brewed craft beers, and some of the best wines from Texas and around the world. They have a "fabulous wine selection and their flatbreads and cheese boards are amazing". They have a small kitchen but "they put out better quality food than 85% of the bars/restaurants in the metroplex". They're currently moving to a new location and we'll update the listing once they have settled in! Watch this space for developments!
