My sister told me that Brindles Awesome Ice Cream is specific to San Antonio :) ! So we decided to try it right after lunch. We decided to try flavors that seemed pretty unique to Brindles, such as "Brindled," "vanilla almond matcha," and the "Cookie Monster" :) ! We loved all these flavors, and each got a 3-scoop waffle cone sundae :) ! It was literally and figuratively our "Sundae Funday ;) " Pun certainly intended! Haha :D ! Brindles also sells trays of scoops of ice cream if you want to take home a bunch of flavors in a scoop-size arrangement :) ! The female employees who assisted us were really courteous, warm and friendly :) ! There are plenty of tables and chairs both inside and outside to enjoy your ice cream and engage in great conversation with friends or family :) ! We would certainly recommend this ice cream shop right after a great lunch or dinner in the area :D ! Or as a fantastic treat after catching a movie at the local Regal Huebner Oaks movie theater :D ! read more

Brindles Awesome Ice Creams - cookie monster and coffee cake!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This was a good find. The ice cream was pretty okay I'd say. Nothing really special kind of mediocre. A bit sweet with the topping but I can say that was my choice. The staff was nice and quick which is more than I could ask for. Despite this the place was a bit dirty inside with sticky tables which was no fun. Also not to mention the coffee here should definitely not be advertised. It was quite yucky! Honestly undrinkable. So unfortunately I don't think I'd find myself back here. read more

Some of my favorite ice cream in the city. LOVE their banana cream pie flavor. If you have this flavor it's hard to keep me away. All house made and doesn't taste like syrup. The banana is mellow and creamy. They are generous with the vanilla wafers and I LUH dat. I usually pair it with a scoop of cheesecake, make it EXTRA EXTRA creamy. Who doesn't love the idea of a banana cream cheesecake. They tend to run out of both flavors depending on how late you go but their Brindle flavor is always pretty delicious too. I love thicc ice cream. I'm addicted to Brindles, I'm pretty sure they're the cause of the extra 2lbs I gained at one point. It's one of those sweets you eat once and you start to crave it every single day then you realize you probably shouldn't keep indulging uncontrollably and splurging, so you stop for a little bit. Then you have it once after a long time then the cycle starts all over again. Brindles will get you hooked. Always show love to neighborhood ice cream shops that care about their ingredients and are consistently delicious. read more

What an ice cream lover's dream!! As someone who could eat ice cream for every meal, this was truly wonderful!! This is the fiesta flight which comes with 24 scoops of unique ice cream or gelato flavors. I had gotten this a few months back when they were running an acts of kindness promo where all flights were just $1 each (normal price was $20) and I'm not too sure if this is still part of their menu but I do hope that they bring it back! My favorite flavors were definitely Red Velvet and Banana Foster! Either way, my family and I make sure to visit when nearby! read more

Solid ice cream, but nothing worth raving about. I've been to Brindles twice now and have deemed it just okay. The place is pretty outdated with poor lighting but has always been clean, and there seems to be only one person working at a time in the afternoons at the very least. This last visit we ordered a Hot Chocolate and a scoop of Burgundy Cherry Ice Cream. The Hot Chocolate wasn't really hot to begin with, more so at room temperature, and you could definitely tell it was water based. The thin layer of whipped cream at the top gave it a slight creaminess that it definitely needed, but once it was gone it was extra lackluster. At the end of the drink, we were left with a coagulated layer of marshmallows at the bottom. The Burgundy Cherry Ice Cream came in a cute plastic cup and was pretty creamy with soft chunks of delicious cherry. From the samples and purchases made on both our visits, we noticed that we could easily taste the same 'base flavor' throughout all the ice creams no matter the flavor. They taste as if a flavor or topping was added to the same dairy heavy base ice cream and wasn't entirely blended so well. The flavors are just a little too muddied for us I guess. Though I wouldn't necessarily recommend Brindles, I can't say I'd never go again. I think there are better ice cream shops to visit instead, but I'd go again if a friend asked me to go. read more

Good selection. Delicious. Super polite staff! Would definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

Visited this past wknd searching to fulfill a late night craving at 11pm & they were better than expected! Open till midnight with a wide variety of choices; ice cream, gelato & sorbet. Kinda like BR with the 31 flavors, but elevated flavors. They also make their own waffle cones. We may have discovered our go-to ice cream shop! read more

My husband and I ordered the 4 scoops and the serving size was much more than I expected, in a good way! Service was good. My only complaint is the container we were given didn't come with a lid and since we had so much we didn't finish. I was just mildly inconvenienced having to hold it the journey home but not a huge issue. Now that I know I most likely won't order so much next time. It was cutely decorated inside with plenty of seating. Hopefully will make it back soon! read more

I have loved Brindles since it first opened. The original owners were parents from the school where I taught. They even had a painting that our art teacher painted hanging in there. I don't know why I never wrote a review. On this visit, I had two scoops in a bowl. They were both super creamy and delicious. I can't tell you what flavors they were because I purposely chose two with names that meant nothing to me. One of them was so amazing that I actually went and asked what was in it. I think I was told pineapple, coconut, and mint. The individual flavors were very subtle and created and amazing blended taste. The staff is nice. The place is clean and attractive. Plus, they serve the ice cream in those cute little plastic flower bowls. What's not to like? read more

One of my favorite things to do with my boyfriend is to drive out to the Hill Country for gelato and coffee. But sometimes I'm not down for an hour wait, so we decided to try something local. Brindles is located in a large shipping center with plenty of parking. There are a few small tables outside and a fair amount of seating inside. The place smells divine, sweet and sugary. There's a huge selection of options from ice creams to cones to toppings. There's a lot. I had Nutella cheesecake; two things I love. My boyfriend had pistachio and peanut butter. I had high hopes for the Nutella. It was good, but after a couple bites, the flavors just melded together and just tasted sweet. The pistachio and peanut butter were also good, but again really sweet. I think it's a good local option, but if rather drive it to the Hill Country for my gelato. read more

I think a true end of an era is coming for Brindles. I learned on Saturday that a new owner has taken over and a number of the OG flavors are being retired including one of my favorites, Sweet Cream ice cream. Additionally, the style inside will be changing. I believe they said it'll become "southern bohemian." I would have given Brindles 5-stars again, yet the news about Sweet Cream bummed me out. Our family and friends are looking forward to the new changes, and we're hoping for the best for the new flavors. read more

I was craving some ice cream and looked on Yelp to see what ice cream shop was near me. This spot popped up so I wanted to try it out. The owner Josh served us. We tried at least 5 flavors of ice cream. Each flavor was unique and different. They were all so good, I couldn't make up my mind. So I decided to get a pint of Red Velvet. It was so smooth, not crazy over powering with flavor, just perfect. Thank you! We will be back soon! read more

Awesome indeed! I wanted some ice cream for dessert and this place popped up on the map. I ordered the cinnamon coffee and turtle tracks. Great combination! There was a few people waiting to order but we didn't wait very long. read more

Excellent local ice cream parlor! Visited on a hot summer day to try a butter pecan and vanilla sundae. The butter pecan was delish, and the vanilla had real vanilla bean in it, some of the best I've tasted. Marvelous stuff. Only negatives is that they don't have some toppings like butterscotch, they don't have ice water available, and the wait staff's a bit brusque - they disappeared after serving us! It was a very odd experience. Still, doesn't detract from the great ice cream, I'll be stopping in to try a gelato sometime soon. This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

My husband and I visit San Antonio often and are slowly building a list of our top places to eat. We hadn't found an ice cream shop we really loved until tonight. The funny thing is that we had originally wanted to try a different shop but a glitch with Google maps ended up taking us in the opposite direction. Rather than drive all the way back we decided to give another shop a try and we're so glad we did. Brindle's Awesome Ice Creams is... Well.... Awesome! The owner was working the register and invited us to try all the various flavors.... To be honest every flavor we tried was delicious! We finally decided to get 2 scoops in a waffle cone bowl. My husband got cookies and cream and I got the banana pudding. The waffle bowl was delicious and crispy. The cookies and cream is probably hands down the best cookies and cream I have ever had. Brindle's blends the Oreos into the vanilla ice cream so that every bite is creamy and full of cookie flavor. They then add chunks of oreo cookie to put it over the top. Now, anyone will tell you banana pudding is not something I would normally get. But this ice cream tastes EXACTLY like real banana pudding and has chunks of Nilla wafers too! I had to get it and enjoyed every bite. We learned that the owner just recently took over the business. In fact, he told us Brindle's was a date night favorite when he and his wife first started dating! So cool that he now owns it. He's obviously passionate about ice cream and puts a lot of love into his flavors. We are big fans and will definitely keep coming back! read more

I come here regularly, never a disappointment. You get a lot of ice cream for your money. Delicious !!

We drove half an hour for good ice cream, and good it was! Delicious without being too sweet, generous portion sizes, gelato AND sorbet AND ice cream were all offered. I thought the service was very kind, too. Worth the drive! read more

Delicious ice cream, several unique flavors, friendly service. We tried 5 flavors during our visit.

Ice cream was way overpriced and if you ask for two scoops in a cup, they put it in a container that's only big enough for one! The young lady who waited on us was not liking her job evidently. Never smiled or acted like she wanted to be there. read more

Best ice cream ever! Definitely recommend! Owners are the nicest people ever! Place was so cute!

It's ok. The kiddos will definitely still be excited about this place. For me, theres was little to be excited about. By all means though, this place is gonna be better than anything marble slab has to offer across the street. They have a fairly wide range of flavors. Too bad most of them arent very flavorful. They had an extra special one that they make for this Mexican restaurant, but had too much on hand, even though they normally don't sell it. It was Coconut base, with mango, peppermint, and habanero peppers. It was my favorite one, as well as being the most unique out of everything they sold. The banana pudding was ok, but not very fragrant. It did have a dense creaminess. The giandiua was ok, but it wasn't very hazelnutty. The chocolate wasn't fragrant either. The coffee heath was pretty good. I wish it had more heath bar chunks though. read more

Stopped by here with the family for dessert. It's a small ice cream shop with its own character inside. We were instantly greeted by friendly faces that helped us make a selection on what to try. My wife had a rose flavored ice cream, I got the Brindle flavor, and my daughter strawberry. Everything tasted absolutely delicious and the chocolate dipped cones held together. We are definitely going back to try more flavors. read more

We loved this local place. The employees were super sweet and welcoming. The banana pudding and rocky road was my favorite!

one of the worst experience.....we asked the guy how he was doing and stated off with I'm tired.....I proceed to tell I want of scoop of ice cream and he starts to give me a sample.....when I told him no I want a scoop, he promptly out the sample in his mouth and eats while getting the scoop of ice cream. the tables were filthy and the girl making the waffle cones had no gloves on and was grabbing them from the waffle maker with her hands hairs around her face not very clean all the around and all the tables were filthy. the employees were on their phone constantly read more

The place is very bright and inviting! There's music playing and it's clean everywhere you look. There was a few people there because it was late, and did I mention they're open til 12am on certain days! That's a huge plus for me. Also, the service was fantastic, the young people working were so great at assisting us with flavors to choose from the ice cream/gelato! I highly recommend it if you're trying to get something that's good priced and for a late night feat. read more

Amazing service! We came in with a group of maybe 13 people and the two girls working at the front were so accommodating by letting us try samples and answering our questions. It was pretty cute inside, and I was surprised at how many flavors they had!! I thought the banana pudding one was an interesting flavor that I haven't seen before, but when I sampled it I found the artificial banana flavor to be a bit overpowering at the beginning. However it had a pretty decent flavor besides that. The burgundy cherry was also pretty good if you like cherry. I don't know the flavor, but my friend had one where it had caramel and bits of possibly honey comb in it? That one was sweet but the honey comb bits had really good flavor and crunch! Either way, there's so many flavors to choose from and you can sample as many as you'd like, so you really can't go wrong here. read more

San Antone's as great as it seems And a city that lives in my dreams It's so warm and it's magic But the Boba is tragic At least they have some good ice creams They also have some Basketball teams About which I'm sure there are some Memes But let's trade in our Kindles And spend the funds at Brindles Cause they have truly Awesome Ice Creams! Barbie loves this place and would probably give it five stars. Personally, I thought the ice cream was good, but I wouldn't categorize it as amazing. Service is just okay, and especially considering that it was really that late at night, and the boy who was actually serving us was a total sweetheart, it's hard for me to knock any stars off. I think we entered less than 10 mins before closing and he couldn't have been nicer about it. A couple of other people working there not so much. Still. Between serving us 5 minutes before closing, and Barbie deciding this was five star ice cream, then I will give them a 5, but if it was for me personally, and if it wasn't for the service element, I would probably have gone more with the four star rating. Barbie is already looking forward to our next trip to Brindles, so obviously she was very impressed, and I liked all the flavours too, but not as overwhelmingly much as she did, and she's my Bae, and her opinion matters a little more because she's so pretty. All in all, I'm glad I decided to Brindle her here. So if you've been getting love handles And repeat-watching Sixteen Candles Go out for ice cream And you'll see what I mean If you try the yum products at Brindles But that didn't rhyme? Much. read more

Always love going to Brindles after the bookstore, but today we had the most disappointing experience. The ice cream was good but the service was horrible, not worth going back.
