Connie’s Frozen Custard Brings Award-Winning Sweet Treats to Towne Lake Market in Cypress
A celebrated name in Houston’s Cy-Fair dessert scene is making its way to Cypress. Connie’s Frozen Custard, widely known for its rich, Midwest-style frozen custard and award-winning menu, will open a second location at the upcoming Towne Lake Market, located at 11231 Greenhouse Road, Cypress, TX 77433. The highly anticipated opening is scheduled for late 2025.
The expansion marks a sweet milestone for the locally cherished business, which first opened its doors in April 2000 at 12545 Jones Road. After 25 years of serving up creamy delights, Connie’s is expanding its reach to one of the fastest-growing communities in the Houston metro area.
A Sweet Addition to Towne Lake’s Newest Development
Towne Lake Market, developed by Caldwell Companies, is an 18,000-square-foot retail space featuring drive-thru service and strategically situated at the corner of Cypress North Houston and Greenhouse Road. With easy access to US 290 and proximity to Barker Cypress Road, the retail center is expected to draw significant traffic from Towne Lake residents and the greater Cypress community.
As the debut phase of Caldwell’s latest development within the award-winning Towne Lake master-planned community, the new market is designed to offer both convenience and charm—making Connie’s a natural fit for families, foodies, and dessert-lovers alike.

A Legacy of Flavor and Community
Connie’s Frozen Custard isn’t just another ice cream shop; it’s a Houston-area staple with a cult following. The shop specializes in frozen custard, a creamier and denser alternative to traditional ice cream, thanks to the inclusion of egg yolk. The custard is made fresh daily, offering both consistency and intense flavor.
Its fan-favorite menu features bestsellers like the J.B.’s Texas Turtle Sundae—a decadent combo of vanilla custard, hot fudge, caramel, roasted pecans, and cherries—and the build-your-own BYO Concrete, starting at just $5.41, allowing guests to create a custom dessert masterpiece.
Award-Winning and Community-Focused
Connie’s has earned impressive accolades in recent years. In 2022, it was ranked the #1 ice cream shop in Texas by Yelp, and in 2023, it landed a spot on Yelp’s list of the Top 100 Ice Cream Shops in America. These honors reflect the brand’s commitment to quality and its loyal customer base.
But the impact goes beyond dessert. Connie’s supports Cy-Fair ISD students through annual scholarships, encouraging creativity and passion for entrepreneurship and custard culture. It’s this blend of community spirit and sweet innovation that continues to endear Connie’s to generations of customers.
