    Froyo
    Darian C.

    Went for the $5 bowl wednesdays and it was really good! I liked all the fruit flavors but I wished they also had tart flavor. I also enjoyed all the toppings that they had and they had a really large selection of drizzles! I would definitely come here again even though it is a long drive for me.

    We love this place! We try to go once a week and treat the kids (and treat ourselves too if we're being honest) ;) I love that they always have custard, and I usually mix one of their other flavors with it. I also love how it's a relatively affordable in a world where everything is expensive. And lastly, I appreciate that it's a local spot, I much rather spend my money directly into the community.

    My family and I stumbled upon arctic ape on our way home from new braunfels just searching ice cream near me off i35. So glad we stopped. Right out front some guys were selling hot wheels and my son immediately had a huge smile on his face. They were so excited for ice cream though they couldn't wait to get inside. Arctic ape is designed so neat for kids , everything caught their eye! There's so much to talk about while eating there between the ambiance and the fun trivia cards on each table. There's plenty of delicious froyo and Italian ice flavors to choose from... but the toppings !!! Omg the toppings are endless. Anything your heart desires, they deliver. They even have the dividers for those of us who don't want to mix their flavors. They weigh by the ounce here. Also, the size pictured is the smallest they have (which isn't very small) and I do think they'd benefit from offering smaller kid size bowls for those of us that don't want to encourage our kids to have 12 oz of froyo , lol. Great experience. I'd go back and I don't even live anywhere nearby.

    $5 wild boy ape cup Wednesday! Cake batter base extra pickles
    Zaner R.

    First time in here! Always drove by. Something pulled me in today! Maybe it was the frequency I heard of the donkey Kong ape sounds... or could've just been I was hungry. Didn't know what I was getting into. Apparently it's wild boy cup ape madness wednsdays and it was $5. The staff was very friendly cheerful delightful and helped a nub bot newbie Shoobie chimp place an ape sized order! I'll be back in soon! The cake batter with pickles is a must try! Decor is Go Ape! ASNKA! Planet of the bapes with some DK Barrels scattered in! They should really have an ape sound when you close and open the door! Like old DK sound from N64 Mario Kart. Before He got Botox

    Cake batter with sprinkles, cake batter with cheesecake and sprinkles, and coconut with sprinkles
    Kimberly S.

    I went here on a Wednesday and on Wednesdays they have a special where a blue cup (16 oz) is charged by weight but only up to $5...so you can fill it up and add all the toppings and it'll only be $5. I tried coconut and cake batter. The coconut is non dairy so the consistency is a little watery but both were still yummy. Staff was extra friendly. They even have dividers for people who want multiple flavors without mixing them. I 100% recommend this place.

    We had dinner about 10 minutes away. For dessert, we decided to try @arctic_ape. They had gelato, Italian ices and frozen yogurt. So many toppings to choose from! Had to have ice cream for #nationalicecreamday! Glad we stopped by to check it out!

    As soon as you walk in your eyes will be delighted with the colorful Knick knacks all around! It looks like an Arctic cave that is super cool. Even on the ceiling you can see Icicles. We were greeted right away by a staff member that asked if we had been there before. When we replied no, she instantly went into explaining all the different topics and selections available. She told us there was Italian ice, gelato and regular ice cream. She explained the price is by weight rather than size of cup. And then showed us the cups we could use to make drinks out of our creations. The only two things I didn't like. Was that there were no samples available for the ice creams. They said it was due to Covid but I've been to other ice cream shops here in San Antonio and both had samples available. The second thing I didn't like was the cashier rushed our group to pay and I wasn't ready making my selection so I ended up very plain. Other than that the quality of ice cream is good. I had the gelato and it wasn't the most authentic but definitely edible and a nice snack.

    I'm here to reassure you that yes this place is 5/5: The reviews are true!! Why is this place 5/5 stars? First and foremost: the hospitality. This isn't even customer service. This is a family owned business that treats you as if you entered their home and are willing to do whatever it is to make you feel comfortable. Options: Holy cannoli there are SO many options. It literally looks like a liquor cabinet behind the bar and it's a whole bunch of store bought AND homemade flavors. By the amount of options it would seem overwhelming, but it really isn't. Self-Serve: you really get to create whatever you want. From taco cones to shakes to cups to waffle cones - seriously this place has it all! Private lot out front with plenty of parking. Prices are ridiculously fair. They have $5 taco Tuesday...so anything that can fit in a taco waffle cone is $5! Insane! I highly recommend this place. They were offering games to play prior to COVID. They want it to be a place you can hang out, not simply grab your ice cream and go. They want you to feel comfortable and have a good time. Highly highly recommend.

    A little of this and a little of that!

    What an awesome fro-yo place! When we entered the shop, we were greeted almost immediately by a man who spoke with the same eager kindness as Kenneth from 30 Rock. If we had questions, he was ready for them! If you're new to independent fro-yo shops, the selections could feel overwhelming, and you could mix things that clash. I'm a pro, and I'm comfortable with my classic choices. If you're unsure, pick safe options so you can enjoy your desserts. The good news is, you can't go too wrong with selections - just don't let your cereal get soggy. Otherwise, sit back, say hi to the ape, and if you have the time, enjoy a round of Trivial Pursuit.

    Is there plenty of seating? Is the atmosphere conducive to conversation?

    The dining area is a little small with seating for about 15 people. You can also have a conversation, assuming the place isn't crowded. Oh, there are also table and chairs outside.

    Overall: Such a fun spot for cheesecake! Definitely worth checking out if you're a cheesecake fan…read more Parking: There's a small parking lot right by the shop, but it can fill up pretty quickly. We were able to park, but I could see it being an issue during busy times. Seating/Ambiance: The indoor area is pretty small, with just a few tables. They also have some tables outside along the side, which is nice when the weather is good. It's more of a quick dessert stop than somewhere I'd plan to hang out for a long time. Cheesecake: You can get cheesecake by the slice or in individual jars, which I thought was a cute option. They have a good variety of flavors. We tried the Turtle cheesecake and it was delicious! Rich, creamy, and definitely hit the spot. Bonus: They have a loyalty/reward where after 10 jars, you get a free jar, which is a nice incentive if you live nearby or become a regular. One suggestion: My only complaint is that I wish they had a description of what's inside each cheesecake flavor. You have to ask about the ingredients/fillings for each one, which makes it a little harder to decide when there are so many options. Everyone's very nice. You select your cheesecake & then go to the end of the counter to pay. Overall: Cute little cheesecake shop with lots of fun flavors and the option to get individual jars. Parking and seating are limited, but the cheesecake is definitely worth a visit. Would come back to try more flavors!

I tried the limited edition raspberry black sesame (6$), cookies and cream (6$) and the space in picnic? (9$, the lemon meringue, blueberry one) My favorite was the lemon meringue (9/10), then raspberry black sesame (8.7/10), then cookies and cream (6/10). The meringue was such a nice texture and the berry brightness and lemon was wonderful. The raspberry was perfectly tart in contrast with the nuttiness of the black sesame. The cookies and cream were just average to me, nothing special. Service was decent and you get to keep the jars. They have one dollar off frappes M-Thrs happy hour (3-5 i think?) I would come back to try other flavors! Makes a great gift.

We waited by the Pullman Market porch area for our tasting and they came out with mini frozen hibiscus drinks. I expected sweet, but only had tart flavors that stimulated my palette. Finally, me and my friends were taken in to a private dark room with the seats surrounding the kitchen where the magic was about to happen. The 8 course comes with 4 different flavor profiles and 1 alcoholic drink per flavor type. The most memorable profile was umami with the jerk chicken and bitter with the banana and chocolate. These two topped off as my favorites. The chocolate with my banana was the best I had ever yet. The bowl had to be picked clean. The chefs walked us through each of the dishes and explaining the story behind as well as any questions we had. We all had a blast with the tasting and would come back again.

They have a storyline to create a plot for the "dessert" creations. The pastry chefs interweave sweet, salty, sour, spicy, and umami throughout the evening AND is also paired with a drink per dish. They tell you how to eat the dish for maximum enjoyment of the desired taste experience. They do an excellent job of creativity, presentation, and combination of flavors. Such an intimate setting. After it's all done, they do part you with a BIG fortune cookie with a handwritten fortune! This is the time where you are allowed to pull your phones out. And you can also step in the kitchen area and take pics. Menu does change. I'd definitely go again!
