Creamwala, the small-batch ice cream maker known for South Asian-inspired flavors like Mango Masti and Gulab Jammin’, is opening its first permanent storefront this fall at 600 S. Sherman St. in Richardson’s upcoming Lala Market. The brand announced the move on social media, confirming it will make all its ice cream in-house and sell fresh scoops, pints and merchandise once the doors open.
The jump from pop-up vendor to brick-and-mortar operator is a significant one for Creamwala, which currently sells its ice cream at Allen’s Sayfani Coffee House and at pop-up events scattered around the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, according to Community Impact. Before landing a lease, the company built its following primarily as a caterer for private events, using Creamwala's pint sales through the Allen coffee shop as its first steady retail foothold.
A Flavor Lineup Rooted in South Asian Tradition
Creamwala's menu leans hard into flavors imported straight from South Asian kitchens. The Mango Masti flavor is made with imported Pakistani Chaunsa mangoes, while Gulab Jammin' is infused with cardamom and syrupy gulab jamun, and Rooh Afza is blended with basil seeds — all made without artificial additives, per the company's own product descriptions.
The storefront will sit inside Lala Market at 600 S. Sherman St. in Richardson. State filings from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in February detailed a $400,000 interior renovation underway at the same address for Barney's Brunch House, meaning Creamwala will share the development with other food concepts.

For Creamwala, the move into a permanent space at Lala Market represents a bet that its niche South Asian flavor profile can carve out staying power in the DFW dessert market. The flagship shop is expected to open this fall, according to Creamwala's social media announcement, with further details available at www.creamwala.com.
