Howdy Homemade Ice Cream

LaRael D

(Long post if you like to read) There’s something magical about walking into Howdy Homemade Ice Cream Katy. It’s more than just the smell of freshly made waffle cones or the dazzling rainbow of ice cream flavors — it’s the feeling that you’ve stepped into a place built on purpose, kindness, and joy. Our family stopped by on a whim, expecting a simple dessert stop, but we left with so much more. The team greeted us with genuine smiles and contagious energy, making each scoop feel like it was served with a side of happiness. The ice cream itself? Absolutely delicious — creamy, rich, and full of flavor combinations that taste like summer, even on a chilly day. But what touched us most was the story behind every scoop. Knowing that this shop provides meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with special needs gives every bite a deeper sweetness. It’s proof that good business and good hearts can blend perfectly — just like their ice cream. We were a little sad to hear they’ll be closing for winter break, but it only makes us more eager for their return. The plaza has plenty of parking, though you might need a touch of patience during peak hours — a small price to pay for such a feel-good experience. Thank you, Howdy Homemade Katy, for the smiles, the mission, and the memories. We can’t wait to return for another round of inspiration (and a double scoop of joy)! 🍦💛🤠

This place is an absolute gem! Beyond the delightful ice cream, the mission behind Howdy Ice Cream is truly outstanding. Their homemade ice cream boasts an array of flavors, ranging from classic strawberry to unique options like funnel cake, cookies, and coffee. What makes Howdy Ice Cream truly special is its operation, led by the incredible Howdy heroes – individuals with special needs. This initiative not only provides them with the opportunity to work but also allows them to forge new friendships while spreading scoops of joy and smiles, all contributing to making the world a better place. Stepping into Howdy Ice Cream feels like entering a warm and welcoming haven. During my visit, I had the pleasure of trying a multitude of flavors, and each one was a delightful experience. The diverse selection and the heartwarming atmosphere created by the Howdy heroes make this place more than just an ice cream shop – it's a community that radiates positivity and inclusivity.

First time there and I am impressed. The staff are friendly and the place is clean. I got the Full L Cake and I think it is a tad sweet, but it could just be me.

Thank you Rod and Dana for running such a unique concept ice cream shop, we made a special order and picked it up today. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I wish there were more shops like this that valued our community with disabilities. We tried the cold brew coffee and the strawberry sherbet both were perfection.

This ice cream shop employs a lot of special needs people that do a tremendous job making amazing ice cream. My wife wanted to try a few samples and when she got to one with coconut she knew what she wanted, one scoop with nuts on top, I got to try hers and it was tasty. I went with the Dr. Pepper ice cream with chocolate chips and heath bar crumbles as a topping.......who knew Dr. Pepper ice cream would be this great. We will be back for more goodies.
