The small ice cream shop we called one of the places "we're obsessed with right now" has closed. Betty Ringer Ice Cream in West Dallas' Sylvan Thirty development was open for a little over a year.
In an Instagram post late last week, owner Stephen Smith wrote that he "had to say goodnight to my lovely shop today." He told the Dallas Observer he fell behind on his rent.
"This was the hardest I've ever worked in my life, and I enjoyed every second of it," he wrote. "I'll be back again, somewhere, sometime. Again, thank you to everyone who came through those doors. I truly appreciate each and every one of you."
The shop had rotating flavors like Guinness stout, Thai tea, ube with edam cheese and many more. It was also well liked for its vegan ice cream options. The shop even created a wintertime menu, one that Dallas Morning News employee Shannon Sutlief loved: "Winter weather won't keep me away," she wrote.
It opened in summer 2017 and was located at a development at Sylvan Avenue and Interstate 30 in West Dallas that's currently home to shops such as Tacodeli, Houndstooth Coffee, CiboDivino Marketplace and Ten Ramen.
