LEGENDAIRY GELATO • CAFE
Boston Ave in Nederland is one of our favorite places in Southeast Texas because it's walkable, there are a bunch of beautiful boutiques, and Buckskin Brewery has the best beer around.

LA REAL MICHOACANA
La Real Michoacana was the first place we found that served 36+ unique flavors like rum raisin, chongos, rompope, and tequila. We love that they charge by the scoop and have a ton of options!

HAPPY TIME TEA LOUNGE
Happy Time Tea Lounge may be the only place in SETX where we are regulars. We can't get enough of the iced taro with traditional boba, the lychee bubble soda with blueberry popping boba (25% sweetness), and the Blue Mountain Coffee on a cold day. One thing we love is they have different levels of sweetness you can choose from, so you're not locked into one flavor or one sweetness level.

CHA CHA CAFE
We LOVE Cha Cha Cafe and go almost weekly. While they have a ton of options, we can't move on from our favorite order- the spicy pork wontons and an iced Thai tea coffee (with a little extra coffee so it's not so sweet). We do know the watermelon slushie and the avocado smoothie are extra delicious, but we don't deviate often enough to try everything else.

This is not an exhaustive list and business hours are subject to change. Make sure you give each "cold treat" spot a call before heading their way. As always, we encourage you to like, follow, and review any local businesses you support. Your reviews turn into dollars for small business owners when just one person reads your review and decides to support that business as a result.
