Dallas' most prolific celebrity chef, Tiffany Derry, is making things sweeter in Grand Prairie. Her latest concept, called Syrup + Sno, is a whimsical dessert shop at EpicCentral in Grand Prairie.
Syrup + Sno is located at 2951 S. State Hwy. 161, Grand Prairie, near other restaurants from Derry's TD2 concepts, The Landing (which is next door) and Radici. It debuted on Memorial Day and is open weekends only, Thursday-Sunday.
The shop offers snow cones that promise to be as tasty as they are colorful, a release says.
Flavors include:
- Banana Fosters with caramelized banana, cinnamon, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla sno
- Mangonada with fresh mango, Tajín, and chamoy candy
- Halo Halo layered with ube, coconut, strawberries, red bean, mochi, and soft serve
- Customizable sno with flavors ranging from hibiscus and tamarind to matcha green tea and tiger’s blood
In addition to shaved ice, Syrup + Sno serves macaron ice cream sandwiches, warm cookies, and soft serve topped with everything from pop rocks and mochi to Texas pecans and sweet red bean.

Derry says she wants it to be an elevated, global-inspired take on an American classic.
“Growing up, some of my favorite memories were the simple treats that brought people together like sno cones, soft serve, cookies," she says in a statement. "With Syrup + Sno, I wanted to create a place that feels fun and nostalgic, while also reflecting the global influences that inspire so much of my cooking. "From classics with a twist to flavors inspired by cultures and ingredients from around the world, I wanted every item to feel both familiar and unexpected."
The shop is built with families in mind, she says, and sits in a dynamic development with family-oriented attractions such as TopGolf, a karting run and arcade, and an indoor waterpark.
"It’s a spot where families can hang out after a game, friends can grab something sweet by the water, and everyone can feel like a kid again," she says.
Derry, a Beaumont-native, rose to fame after appearing on Season 7 of Bravo’sTop Chef and has since gone on to become a Food Network staple. In addition to Radici (both the Grand Prairie location as well as the original spot in Farmers Branch) and The Landing, and now Syrup + Sno, Derry owns Roots Southern Table in Farmers Branch and Roots Southern Shak in Addison. She was nominated for a 2026 CultureMap Tastemaker Award for Chef of the Year.
Syrup + Sno is open 3-8 pm Thursday-Sunday.
