    It isn't dairy, but on a hot day ya got to consider MAM's House of Ice Snowballs. http://www.facebook.com/pages/MAMS-House-of-Ice-Snoballs/83958659770

    We're rather surprised that you forgot TCBY. Aside from that, Houston's absolute best Frozen Yogurt can be found at the "Kona Joe's" frozen yogurt bar in the Rice Epicurean at San Felipe and Post Oak. It's only at that Rice location, and worth the trip from the Inside The Loop (for you elitists)

    Wow... Amy's Ice Cream is number 19? I gotta try these other 18 ice cream places STAT because Amy's owns!

    Karen Sue Sat, 06/27/2009 - 6:50am

    Ritter's over Connie's? I don't think so. Also McNeil's serves Hank's Ice cream (#1) so how does it end up being #20?

    Trentino's Gelato is delicious!!!

    Marble Slab's hot fudge sundae rocks! But Joey's right. Nothing beats a sno cone on a hot summer day!

    If you guys like Juicebox, try ordering a Halo-Halo from Gold Ribbon on Holcombe. It's a Filipino desert with shaved ice, sweetened condensed milk, + a whole lotta other toppings. :)

    My vote goes to Yogurtland at S. Shepherd and Westheimer. Cheapest yogurt in town, you get a dozen or so choices, and you can get how much you want of yogurt and toppings. I don't care for Amy's their yogurt is very bland.

    Fruituzy (Fadi's) on Westheimer (Westchase) and Fruit Palette (Rice Village)

    Fruit Palette is freaking boss. I can't get over it.

    Fruulala Frozen Yogurt in katy is awesome. They have non-fat, low-fat, no sugar added, gluten-free, non-dairy varities of frozen yogurt. Worth a drive from Houston !!! They do have the best frozen yogurt in town !
