Not a fan of crunchy snow cones? This one’s for you, and trust us, it might be better than regular snow cones. We stopped by So Icy, a culture-driven frozen dessert brand bringing Philly water ice to Dallas, and we’re hooked. If you’ve never had Philly water ice before, it’s cold treat season, so this spot is a must!

SO ICY
So Icy has been serving up Philly water ice in Dallas for three years and just expanded into a bigger shop with a turfed patio, string lights, and a view of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. The cozy spot blends nostalgic flavors with laid-back vibes, offering handcrafted water ice, gelati, and adult-friendly frozen treats. With new ideas on the way, including coffee and matcha coming soon 👀, they’re just getting started!
THE MENU
Their water ice is smooth like sorbet but packed with the fruity flavor of a snow cone. With flavors like tropical rainbow, passion fruit, and sugar-free cherry, you can mix and match or go all in with a gelati (water ice topped with ice cream). They also have nostalgic snacks like pretzels, loaded chips, and Kool-Aid pickles, with even more treats coming soon (plus some adult-friendly options)! We tried:
🍧 Tropical rainbow water ice
🍦 Strawberry lemonade with strawberry vanilla swirl gelati
🍍 Pineapple and mango water ice with chamoy + tajin (our fave)
🌮 Walking nachos
🍪 Red velvet ice cream sandwich
🍓 Strawberry vanilla swirled ice cream cone
🍨 Vanilla ice cream with Oreos
LOCATIONS & DETAILS
They have three locations: 423 Singleton Blvd (pictured), 2760 E Trinity Mills Rd, and 101 S Sixth St. Plus, they’ve got a mobile truck that’s perfect for catering company parties, birthdays, weddings, or any special event you’ve got coming up!
