A little Midwest nostalgia ✨🌙... with an H-Town twist 🫶🏽

Meet H-Town’s Blue Moon Gelato- our take on the iconic Midwest favorite.

We started with handpicked blueberries from Moorhead's Blueberry Farm, added raspberries, lemon, and folded in ribbons of our house-made marshmallows for something dreamy, and a little unexpected.

If summer had a scoop, this might be it 💙
Available this weekend at the Montrose location in limited
batches.

Coming to the Cypress location soon 🍨

Happy Father’s Day ❤️

Did you know the name SweetCup actually comes from Jasmine’s Father?

Growing up, whenever they would go out for ice cream together, he’d always say, “Let’s go get a sweet cup.”
To him, it simply meant ice cream- but over time, those little moments became something much bigger.

What started as a nostalgic phrase between father and daughter became the name of the brand you know today.

SweetCup is more than gelato- it’s built on memories, family, nostalgia, and the people who shape us without even realizing it.

Today we celebrate all the fathers and father figures who create moments that stay with us forever ✨

Our Whiskey Butter Pecan is available at both locations 📍

Happy Father’s Day from SweetCup 🍨❤️

🍉NEW THIS WEEKEND🍉
Summer in a scoop is here 🍨
Our seasonal Watermelon Sorbet is making its debut at both locations - made with fresh, sweet watermelons and transformed into a refreshing, and seriously scoopable sorbet.

It may look simple, but watermelon sorbet takes a little extra love to get just right... and we’re pretty excited with how this one turned out ✨

Bonus: it’s dairy-free + vegan-friendly
Available starting this weekend at both locations - come cool off with us☀️

An honor to meet Mo Amer during his fireside chat with Chris Hollins for “The Houston That Raised Me. The Houston We Are Becoming.”

Hearing his stories, humor, and deep love for Houston was a powerful reminder of how this city shapes us - through resilience, food, culture, and community ❤️

There’s something special about hearing someone speak so authentically about where they come from, and Mo’s reflections captured the spirit of Houston beautifully 🤘🏽

Grateful to have been in the room for this conversation.
