Beth Marie’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream brings an old-fashioned ice cream stop to the south side of Denton’s historic Square. Its original shop at 117 W. Hickory Street opened in November 1998, giving this downtown location a story rooted in Denton rather than simply a place on the map.
The old-fashioned parlor setting and house-made ice cream are the heart of the visit. Beth Marie’s develops a wide range of flavors, with selections changing over time. Check with the shop for the flavors available during your visit instead of assuming the full collection is offered every day.
Its connection with the city extends beyond the storefront. In 2023, Beth Marie’s worked with the City of Denton on the “North of Ordinary” ice cream flavor, presented at a City Council meeting during the business’s 25th-anniversary year. That collaboration offers a concrete example of the local identity behind the name.
For a downtown outing, make the shop a dessert stop while exploring the Square. This listing covers the original West Hickory Street location, not the separate Unicorn Lake shop. Check Beth Marie’s official website for current location information and contact the downtown shop with questions before visiting.
