Located in Richardson, Texas, Sweet Firefly offers a refreshingly creative take on the classic American ice cream shop. Located at 2701 Custer Parkway, this cozy, inviting parlor has become a favorite among locals for its bright, family-friendly atmosphere and a commitment to quality that’s evident in every scoop. With soft lighting, cheerful colors, and a no-frills approach to service, the shop strikes that perfect balance between fun and relaxed. It’s a place where kids feel at home picking out sprinkles, and adults linger just a little longer than expected, savoring every bite.
The star of the show is, of course, the ice cream, which comes in a rotating lineup of over two dozen flavors, all made in-house in small batches. Whether you’re a purist reaching for rich bourbon vanilla or looking for something more playful like cotton candy, birthday cake, or peanut butter cup, the textures are consistently smooth and creamy. The chocolate is deep and indulgent, the strawberry is bright and fresh, and the cookies and cream is generously loaded with crushed Oreos. The Red Velvet is amazing. For those who can’t choose just one, Sweet Firefly encourages sampling—generous tastes handed over the counter with a smile—and their double and triple scoop options are ideal for flavor adventurers.
But Sweety Firefly doesn’t stop at cones and cups. Their ice cream cakes are a local treasure: beautifully layered and decorated creations that can be customized for any occasion. Customers can choose from a variety of ice cream and cake pairings—like fudge brownie with cookie dough ice cream or confetti cake with bubblegum swirl—and have them tailored with custom messages and edible décor. These cakes aren’t just novelty items; they’re made with the same care and richness as their daily offerings, and are known to steal the show at birthdays, graduations, and office celebrations.
The shop also offers a curated selection of pre-made ice cream sandwiches, pint containers for take-home indulgence, and classic floats made with craft sodas. One of the most charming elements of Sweety Firefly is their focus on creating not just a dessert stop, but a gathering place. They regularly host private parties and ice cream socials, and can even accommodate small celebrations inside the shop itself. With customizable packages, decorations, and of course—endless ice cream—these events are a hit for families looking for something different than the typical party venue.
Sweet Firefly manages to tap into the joy of ice cream without relying on gimmicks. It’s a place that feels local, honest, and built on the idea that good dessert can bring people together. Whether you’re stopping by after dinner, grabbing a cake for a celebration, or planning a party that calls for sweet nostalgia, Sweety Firefly delivers—one scoop at a time.
