When the temperature climbs past 95, Snider Plaza has a reasonable number of ways to cool down this summer. Here’s where to go.
Sweet Paris is a good first stop for something a little more substantial. Their acai bowls are fresh, filling, and hold up well as an afternoon reset. The milkshakes are tasty too, particularly on the days when something cold and simple is all you’re after.
Dive Coastal Cuisine doesn’t get mentioned often enough in the dessert conversation, but the key lime pie and the brownie melt both earn their place on the list. The key lime pie is the one to order in summer, tart and cold and exactly what summer tastes like.
Gelato La Boca brings Argentinian artisanal gelato to Snider Plaza, made fresh and available in a rotating selection of flavors. The brand is vegan and gluten free across their offerings, which makes it a solid option for people navigating dietary restrictions without wanting to compromise on the experience. The texture is different from standard American ice cream, and in a positive way.
Nekter Juice Bar offers smoothies, acai bowls, and cold-pressed juice options that are great for a post-workout stop or a midday refresh. Bondi Bowls offers acai and smoothie bowls that are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and built around whole ingredients. These are both good options for the health-conscious crowd that still wants something that feels like a treat.
Yumilicious and Plaza Health Foods both offer frozen yogurt. Yumilicious with a self-serve format and a wide topping selection, and Plaza Health Foods with frozen yogurt options alongside their broader health food and vitamin inventory. Both are easy stops that fit into your dining, shopping, or weekly errands in Snider Plaza.
And then there’s Parlor’s Ice Creams, the newest addition to the list. The Dallas-based ice cream brand is opening a Snider Plaza location late summer 2026, and it’s worth getting on your radar now. Parlor’s is known for creative, seasonal flavors made with quality ingredients, and a Snider Plaza storefront will be a welcome addition to the summer treat lineup.
Whether you’re looking for a healthy reset, a quick afternoon cool-down, or a full dessert stop, Snider Plaza has no shortage of ways to escape the Dallas heat this summer. And with Parlor’s Ice Creams arriving later this season, Snider’s lineup of cold treats is only getting stronger.
