Master Critic Review
Lindsey's Ice Cream
8.1
A pop-in dessert stop inside YooYee that brings Asian-inspired ice cream flavors into the Argyle corridor without turning it into a gimmick. It works best as a finish after noodles and dumplings—clean, bright flavors that reset your palate instead of piling on sweetness. Go for one dairy flavor and one non-dairy option if you’re sharing, then stop there.
Must-Try Dishes:
Peach ice cream scoop, Lychee ice cream scoop, Seasonal non-dairy scoop

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking along Argyle and nearby side streets; availability is limited on weekend evenings.
Dress code: Casual to smart-casual — everyday wear is fine since this is a dessert stop inside a neighborhood restaurant.
Noise level: Moderate — lively dinner energy, but you can still hold a conversation.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes if the restaurant is busy; ice cream service itself is usually quick once seated.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — all ice cream flavors are vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited — usually 1–2 rotating non-dairy fruit-based flavors.
Gluten-free options: Generally yes — most flavors are naturally gluten-free, but cross-contact is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes — it works especially well as a low-pressure dessert stop after dinner, with bright flavors that feel thoughtful rather than heavy.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes, especially if you’re just stopping for dessert; waits depend on the main dining room flow rather than the ice cream counter itself.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — flavors are approachable and portions are manageable, though the setting feels more like a date-night restaurant than a kids’ dessert shop.
Best For
Better for: Fruit-forward, less-sugary ice cream that feels intentional and refined, especially as a post-meal dessert.
Skip if: You want oversized scoops, lots of mix-ins, or a standalone ice cream parlor experience.
