    Ice cream tasted great and the workers are super nice and asked us if we would like free samples

    Thanks for hosting our book club! Cute ice cream shop . The inside was cute and clean. The Girls were very helpful. The ice cream was so good. Tried a few samples.

    Banana Cream Pie with Brindle Flavor
    Mariah T.

    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.

    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!

    Burgundy Cherry Ice Cream
    Nayra B.

    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 The place is pretty outdated with poor lighting but has always been clean, and there seems to be only one person working at a time in the afternoons at the very least.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.

    This place was so kind to us they let us try all kinds of samples before making a decision the worker there was very friendly and nice we had to tip it's a nice place and very cozy to me to spend my time at

    Strawberry Cheesecake...no cheesecake pieces tho

    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!

    LOVE the ice cream here! the owners are very nice and attentive and the store is always clean.

    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!

    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.

    The ice cream there is awesome! I loved the brownie sundae. They also have a ton of ice cream flavors to choose from. My favorite part of the store and the only reason I made this review is Steven Universe being on the logo. 10/10 use of Steven Universe

    Coffee Heath and Sweet Cream
    Michelle M.

    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.

    They have a soft-serve bazooka in back, so you better behave.

    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.

This shop sells fudge, truffles, candied apples, and - what I came for - ice cream! They had a lot of ice cream flavors to choose from, a least a couple dozen. The smiling young woman working behind the ice cream counter offered to give tastes, but I had already figured out which flavors I wanted. I chose two scoops in a cup, one of Cappucino Chip and the other Turtle Cheesecake. They have several tables to sit at, some along a hallway and more in a back room. I took a seat and was in awe of the huge scoops given. The Cappuccino Chip had a mild flavor (I prefer it stronger) but a fair number of tiny chocolate chips. The Turtle Cheesecake had an excellent cheesecake flavor with swirls of caramel, praline pecans, and caramel-filled mini turtles. I'm usually not fond of nuts in my ice cream but I actually enjoyed the pralines. In my humble opinion, there were too few turtles. But I still loved it. If you're in the mood for a cold, creamy treat while visiting the Alamo, you'll find this to be the perfect place to visit.

The real issue came at the cash register. The woman handling payments was, unfortunately, not kind at all. In fact, "rude" would be the most generous description. It actually took my wife about ten minutes just to complete the payment for a couple of ice creams, which felt longer than the ice cream itself took to melt. What made it even more uncomfortable was watching how she interacted with other employees. It wasn't just unprofessional--it was the kind of scene you'd expect in a low-budget psychological thriller where you start wondering if someone should call for backup. So while the ice cream itself and the front-line staff were great, the overall experience was overshadowed by the atmosphere at the register. Small, crowded, and unkind is not a combination that brings us back. We'll pass next time.
