Absolutely delicious! Everything tasted so fresh and you could really taste the real fruit! The ice cream was creamy, flavorful, and clearly made with fresh ingredients. My son especially loved trying the mango, strawberry, and vanilla flavors. The lady working there was so sweet, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. You can tell they really care about their customers and the quality of what they serve. We will definitely be coming back! Such a wonderful little ice cream spot -- highly recommend! read more

A small cute ice cream shop. I am so happy for the lactose free products. Hopefully it stays open. Other shops with the same idea have come and gone. I don't know why they don't stay in business. There is a lot of us who are lactose intolerant. I love the vanilla shake. Highly recommend. read more

I was in town for an Air Force graduation and we were looking for some dessert after lunch and we ended up here. The owner and her daughter were extremely nice and friendly and gave top notch service. You can tell the ice cream was freshly made and was quite frankly some of the best ice cream I've ever had. The shop was very nice and clean. I would highly recommend it and would come back again the next time I visit San Antonio. Unfortunately, I ate it all, so I didn't get a picture, but all I can say is my inner fat girl is Super Happy read more

I saw this place when going to sprouts. Looked it up and saw they had vegan options. It's been on my list. Today my husband and pupper stopped by. The employees were so nice and helpful!

Angela once again you made my day! It's not often I'm in the area, so when I am, it's quite a treat. I'm like a kid in a candy store lol After a few samples, she highly recommended a new flavor- Mora blackberry - it's beautiful ! Really enjoyed it. My fave go to's are coconut and Texas pecan and she said she just improved the coconut to coconut cream - using lactose free milk. Delicious. I ate all 3 flavors to the last drop. And I love the cute floral decorated umbrellas you have out in front of the store! read more

In my opinion, Natural ice cream is always the best and I finally found a place that does it right. This might be a bold to say, but this might be one of the best natural ice creams I've ever had. How does one spot make natural ice cream for creamy and fresh? If you have allergies to the top 9, they have plenty of flavors for you. Even the chocolate ice cream was good, and I hate chocolate, but I enjoyed this one. The Guava and Columbian flavors were my favorite. 10/10 would come back. Next time i'm in town, I'll definitely come back here. read more

As soon as I walked in, I was welcomed by warm smile and friendly remarks. The staff was eager to share information about this ice cream shop. You can sample 3 flavors before picking what you want. I picked the larger size and you are able to mix and match 3 flavors. I love how all the ice creams are vegan or lactose free - they are sorbet like! The flavors are Colombian and Brazilian inspired. Their concept is to offer healthier ice cream treats. It is so hard to resist these frosty goodies especially during the hot summer. I picked: - Romeo and Juliet (Guava/strawberry?) - Acai - Seasonal mix (I can remember but it was either mango or pineapple?) This is probably one of my favorite ice cream shop! I never liked creamy gelato ice cream but more of a fan of sorbet like ice cream. I really hope they expand to other cities! read more

Freshest Ice Creams definitely lives up to their name! I came in with a big group of friends and was immediately greeted with smiles. The owner was really sweet and offered my group chairs so we could sit comfortably. All of the ice cream here is lactose free and they also have vegan options as well. The ice cream was delicious, and definitely fresh which made it easy to devour a large cup. I got the Coffee*, Romeo & Julieta*, and Colombian*. My favorite was the Romeo & Julieta (guava and cream cheese) which was super interesting! I will definitely be coming back for a sweet treat, especially during this hot summer. read more

If you're looking for a healthier, fresher twist on ice cream, this spot is a must-visit! Everything here is vegan and lactose-free, making it a fantastic option for those with dietary restrictions or anyone craving a lighter indulgence. We tried the chocolate and passion fruit flavors, and both were absolutely delicious. The chocolate was rich, while the passion fruit was refreshing with just the right amount of tanginess. The shop itself has a cozy vibe and a ton of Brazilian and Colombian pride shining through. It's clear the owners (a Brazilian husband and Colombian wife team) are passionate about their craft and culture, which adds to the charm of the place. considering the premium pricing for fresh and healthy ingredients, toppings could be included instead of being an extra $1 each. Overall, it's a delightful spot for a guilt-free treat. read more

Yummy ice cream that won't hurt your stomach. When we got to the front the lady asked if we been there before which we hadn't and she welcomed us and then went over the options that they offered. We got to sample a few and then decided! There was tons of Lactose free options packed with tons of flavor. We ordered a large & small. My large had Oreo flavor and coconut (which I believe has milk) but together tasted amazing! The small we got a guava which tasted exactly like a guava! We also got to spin the wheel for a special prize and I won a sticker! Great place to have a sweet treat! read more

After scarfing down spicy noodles and dumplings, I needed some sweets to hold me over and ice cream is always in my calling card. YELP brought me here based on the ratings. Walking in, it's a tiny shop with minimal seating but a colorful display of ice cream flavors and styles. I went with a three scoop cup of the oreo, texas pecan, and brazilian flavors with a scoop of reeses pieces at the top. The ice cream flavors are dairy-less so there won't be much of a creaminess texture. For a non-dairy dessert, it's still tasty, especially the oreo and texas pecan; texas pecan has cinnamon and whiskey infused, a unique touch. The brazilian flavor is more tropical, think lemon and pineapple. Probably should've gone with a different flavor since it didn't match with the oreo and texas pecan. But I learned. I prefer more traditional ice cream with dairy but they do their product quite well. Doesn't surprise me as the place started getting a line of customers right after I ordered. San Antonio is lucky to have this spot as a different type of ice cream option. read more

Lost loyal customers over $2. We were about to spend almost $50 on 3 pints of ice cream through DoorDash, but because the app didn't list pint sizes, we called and asked for a simple accommodation. charge us for a small + large and just combine it into a pint. The difference to the business would've been about $2 total. Instead of accommodating loyal customers who were actively trying to spend money there, we were flat-out refused with zero effort or flexibility. honestly says a lot about a business when making an extra couple dollars matters more than valuing loyal customers -- especially when the ice cream is already overpriced to begin with. read more

This is now my favorite spot for ice cream. My only issue with this place is that I wish it was closer to my house. This place is known for serving lactose free ice cream. I have never had an issue with finding parking here. There was no one else in line when my fiance and I went here.I ordered a large cup that was half strawberry and half peanut butter. The ice cream was very tasty. If you want a healthier version of ice cream that still tastes good, then I suggest you give this place a try. read more

Love the ice cream. Great flavor. Tasted natural and not too sweet. Love this ice cream over Lick. Will come back again.

Today I ventured here for a complimentary ice cream from Yelp Elite Squad. The ice cream shop has bright and colorful decor and a simple ice cream bar with a variety of flavors. I got to choose 3 flavors so I chose peanut butter, coconut, and Texas pecan. The employee asked if I wanted to try any samples first but I declined this time! I started with the coconut and I immediately said OMG! Wow, this was bursting with flavor and chunks of coconut shavings. It was so incredibly good! Next, I tried the peanut butter ice cream. This was so good and smooth and had chunks of Reese's cups in it. Last was the Texas pecan which had wonderful notes of cinnamon. It reminded me of those candied sugar/cinnamon pecans. This is hands down the best ice cream I've had. It is like ice milk, very refreshing, has a smooth texture, and all are lactose free. I am definitely going back soon. They have other amazing flavors I want to try. read more

If you want ice cream that uses all natural ingredients and has no artificial coloring -- this is your spot. Me and my family came in and were immediately greeted and asked if we've been there.... This allowed them to explain what they were all about. Hubby had peanut butter, Oreo and vanilla with marshmallow topping. (All he needed was a graham cracker to make it a s'more) I had vanilla, apple/peach, and Romeo& Juliet (guava and cream cheese) Kiddo had pina colada - all that was missing was the beach lol My other youngin had peanut butter - if you're a PB fan... this one is for you! We were allotted 3 samples and were told which were dairy and non dairy. Temp was nicer than outside so we decided to stay and enjoyed our dessert. Even got to see Angela work her magic while sitting in the bar area. (Seeing her start the process with making a new batch was enjoyable to me) Now that we are familiar with this spot; we will definitely return next time in the area. #MustCheckOut read more

This is the only place I will consistently go to get my icecream. I love the freshness and quality of these ingredients! The pistachio was delicious and nutty. My bf (not pictured because he eats way too fast lol) had the Oreo and coffee flavors -- the coffee is so fresh and I believe made with real coffee! The people working here are always so friendly and willing to let you try whatever icecream you're interested in. I love that they tell us about the sourcing of ingredients, where they're inspired from, etc. -- would support this local business every day if I could! read more

A fresh visit, and still a delicious outcome. My mom and I dropped by for a post lunch treat, and we were greeted by the amazing Angela Cordoba herself. She was very kind to everybody that came into her shop. This time I came for something sherbet-ty. We needed something to calm our stomachs from a heavy lunch and Freshest has very light tasting ice creams. I got the Colombiana and Kiwi and my mom went for the Brazilian. Sooo good. We got there about 2pm and we were in and out. The ice cream did not make the entire trip back home before it was gone. Angela's shop is dressed up for Halloween. In the spirit of the Fall she also had a pumpkin ice cream available. It was very good, but I already had my mind set on my flavors. In Texas it's always ice cream time, so we shall return to Freshest for a refreshing dessert. read more

Wow! Talk about being at the right place at the right time! There I was driving with my family to watch some Christmas lights when the craving started. That craving for something sweet like candy but creamy. Obviously that meant my craving was for some ice cream right? Well let's add up my allergies (gluten, dairy, and lactose) and see what's available. I'm not in the mood for one of the 2 vegan from this flagship store (always carrying Mexican Vanilla and chocolate only, IYKYK) so I ventured out a little and discovered The Freshest. Not trying to sound like an expert on this, but you have the most dairy free flavors ever! Such a wonderful experience, especially with the attentiveness in service that we received. We'll definitely be back when our craving returns, and we can't wait to see what other flavor combinations we mix and match with. I'll post pictures to accompany this, as they are deserving of the refreshing atmosphere and vibes. read more

Accidentally found the spot and will be returning! It's a nice replacement for regular ice cream it definitely is a lot lighter in your tummy. Upon walking in we were greeted with a polite lady. She described all the flavors and was very encouraging for us to try everything they had. The space is small but also so cozy! It's definitely a cute little date spot and if you have a sensitive stomach you are still able to eat their products. read more

We were greeted right away and the man was very outgoing and friendly. He explained all the flavors and let us try them too! (3 per person). Some of it's vegan, and much of it (if not all) is lactose free. And gluten free except for two flavors. We got texas pecan, eggnog and vanilla. Very refreshing and hit the spot. Highly recommended!! read more

I can't wait to come back and try the guava cream cheese flavor ice cream and their Brazilian cheese bread. read more

Amazing dessert spot! As someone lactose-adverse, this is my kind of place. Fantastic array of flavors including kiwi, passion fruit, coffee, peanut butter and more! Not to mention the toppings, milkshakes, slushies, etc. Only $4.80 for a small cup-- but get the large cup to fit three flavors (definitely worth it)! Friendly staff but minimal seating for large groups; luckily you can get pints to go! read more

As their name implies, they truly use only the freshest ingredients in their flavors. They use lactose free milk on all their flavors and have vegan options as well. Their ice cream has the consistency and color of freshly made gelato. The shop is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking and has a blue umbrella in the front to help you spot it. They also make Brazilian cheese bread which takes about 15 minutes to prepare. We had the large cups in which you can have up to three different flavors but I opted for chocolate with peanut butter this time and was not disappointed. They have lots of fresh fruit flavors to choose from along with some unique ones like Brazilian that has pineapple and spearmint. This is a great place to have a cold treat. read more

The first thing I noticed was this place was bustling! I'm glad they are staying busy because I absolutely adore this ice cream shop. I came here during a yelp event and received three scoops in a large cup. I let my husband have it and he ordered the Nutella, Oreo, and chocolate. I, myself, got the açaí bowl.

Wonderful tropical flavors We stopped by this ice cream shop before heading back to our hotel. This was my first time at an ice cream shop specializing in Brazilian and Colombian ice cream. The staff were nice to allow multiple samples (I think up to three). Everything is made fresh in-house with choices of vegan or dairy-free. The Colombian ice cream tasted like passion fruit (papaya, strawberry, pineapple and mango). Meanwhile the Brazilian ice cream flavor was pineapple mint. My family ordered a variety of items from ice cream cups to smoothies. I decided on an acai bowl (acai ice cream, with generous portions of bananas, strawberries, granola, coconut and honey). It was very good and dairy free. We enjoyed our treats inside the shop. The owners/staff were very friendly and helpful on advice regarding the different flavors. Most importantly they were patient as I couldn't decide on what to get. Nice aesthetics, clean shop. All the ice cream I sampled were delicious, creamy, soft, and smooth. So many yummy flavors... wish we had more time in San Antonio! Review #2827 read more

HOLY FLAVOR!!! I love how all the options are either dairy free or lactose free. Angela, the owner, was so excited to have us! She took her time explaining to us that all the ice cream is made in-house. There was someone in the back that we could see making a new flavor for the week: mango! I tried the Colombian which had mango, papaya strawberry and pineapple. and The passion fruit has AN EXPLOSION of flavor! My husband tried the Texan pecan(pecan, cinnamon and whiskey) which also was amazing and the Oreo tasted JUST like Oreo! Everything is just like the name of this business: THE FRESHEST! We also tried the Brazilian Cheese Bread. Takes a minute to make because it's made to order. But super delicious little snack! read more
