Plano’s dessert scene is getting another sugar rush. Tongue In Cheek Ice Cream is gearing up to open a new shop this spring at 7801 Alma Drive, Ste. 136, with an April debut on the calendar. The Suncreek Village spot will be the Richardson-born creamery’s second Plano outpost, joining its east Park Boulevard location and existing shops in Richardson and Lewisville. Regulars know the brand for playful, rotating flavors like the fan-favorite Caramel Crack, plus a solid lineup of vegan and non-dairy scoops.
According to Community Impact, owner Brett Smith and the ownership team said in an email that their goal has always been simple: create something fun, memorable, and community-driven. The outlet reports that the new shop is scheduled to open in April at the Suncreek Village address.
Leasing materials for Suncreek Village list Tongue In Cheek as the tenant for Unit 136 and size the space at roughly 1,400 square feet, as outlined by JAH Realty. The brochure positions the center at 7801 Alma Drive, a grocery-anchored strip with steady neighborhood traffic that landlords highlight to prospective tenants, which should put the new scoop shop in front of plenty of families on errand runs.
Menu and flavors
Tongue In Cheek Ice Cream lists 28 rotating flavors and eight vegan or non-dairy options, and highlights Caramel Crack among its signature varieties. The shop typically mixes small-batch, limited-time flavors with tried-and-true staples, giving regulars a reason to keep dropping by to see what is new in the case.
Where this fits in Plano
The creamery launched in Richardson in 2019 and moved into east Plano in 2022 after owner Brett Smith, a retired Richardson firefighter, decided to expand the concept, The Dallas Morning News reported. The Suncreek Village location is set to bring the brand’s funkier flavors closer to northeast Plano neighborhoods that currently lean on grocery stores and strip-center spots for frozen treats.
The ownership told Community Impact the new store is meant to be a neighborhood gathering place where people can slow down, connect and enjoy something special together, not just grab a quick cone and go. Neighbors are encouraged to keep an eye on Tongue In Cheek’s site and the Suncreek leasing materials for a confirmed opening date and any soft-opening details.
