Ordered the caramel crack milkshake and it took about five minutes at an empty line. Wasn't in a hurry though. Got it and it was not mixed well- all the caramel crack was at the bottom. Was sad, but then is fished it out of the cup with a spoon and ate it separately and oh... ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! It was really good. I see why its called caramel CRACK because that stuff is my coke. Get milkshakes here

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stopped by Tongue in Cheek in Richardson and wow—this spot nailed it. I went with their banana pudding ice cream in a waffle cone, and it was everything I hoped for and more. Creamy, rich, and packed with those nostalgic vanilla wafer chunks that make banana pudding what it is. The flavor was spot on—none of that fake banana taste you get in candies like Laffy Taffy. Just pure, legit banana pudding in ice cream form. Bonus points: they even had a pup-friendly treat for Blue

Really love this location, they have a great unique variety of delicious ice creams. You can get a cup or cone and enjoy in their adorable dine in area with an adorable swing seat area. You are also able to purchase by the pint. They also have done an ice cream truck at a campus I previously worked at and it was so unique. Staff is always really kind. I highly recommend for a specialty ice cream experience.

Okay...let me first say that I am an ice cream lover. I look forward quality ingredients and great flavor and creaminess. When I say this is the best ice cream...that includes, cold stone, Andy's, Ked's, Baskin Robbins, Dairy Queen, Breyers, Braums, and Bluebell! To say that I have tried a lot of ice cream brands is an understatement indeed. But Tongue and Cheek has outdone themselves, especially with their banana pudding ice cream, and the grand finale of all ice creams...their butter pecan is absolutely gourmet! CHEF'S KISS Y'ALL! I've been to the Lewisville location twice in 3 days. Do yourself a favor...buy the pint to bring home. You won't regret it. ¡DELICIOSO!

I would visit this location again when in the Richardson area. The ice cream sundae was delicious. The uniqueness of this location is that they make their own ice cream. The customer service and cleanliness of the location was appropriate to inviting guests. When taken, additional ice cream to go, it was packaged appropriately and it barely melted by the time I made it back to my residence.

We found this place a couple years ago when we visit the area and we come back whenever we are in town! Flavors change but cappuccino crunch is 1 of my fav! I also like their lemon -Whatever it is. Prices are reasonable and it’s yummy! Cute little place with fun swings. Drive thru as well for ice cream! Always a treat to visit!
