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.

There is no seating inside but a couple of tables sit outside. I think I counted 16 unique flavors when I visited. The cordial woman doing the scooping kindly offered tastes but my ice cream radar had already zeroed in on my choices. I chose chocolate orange and caramel salt lick. In a cup. I took a seat outside and was in heaven. Both scoops were so creamy and had bold flavor. The caramel salt lick perfectly describes it - salty caramel flavor. Have you ever had those chocolate oranges that seem to appear on store shelves around Christmas time? That's exactly how the chocolate orange ice cream tastes. But better. They have a couple of locations around San Antonio and I urge you to find one; you'll love their ice cream.

I got taro, lavender, and chocolate Oreo, and they were all so delicious and creamy. The portions were generous, and the price felt very fair for what you get. (They have a flight!!!) I also love the local, small, family-owned business vibe. The owners were very friendly, which made the experience even better. My only wish is that they stayed open later on Sundays. Right now, they close at 3 PM, and I would love to be able to stop by for ice cream on my way back to Austin in the late afternoon.

Was craving some ice cream and out of all the places that close at 10PM, this place was open until…read more11PM. So we decided to come check this place out after we looked up their flavors online. I didn't find any reviews so I was a little skeptical at first, and honestly I understand why now. We drove over and when we pulled up it is actually located in the 'Axe Escape' building. Which if you've been to this place you know they have the VR game on the other half of the building. The ice cream portion is stationed at the very front as soon as you walk in. When we walked in the doors closest to the Axe throwing entrance we were 'greeted' by yelling and squealing from some people playing in the VR portion, we had a hard time talking to the guy at first because of how loud it was due to the echoes of those people. The gentleman who helped us seemed nice but was very reserved and not as welcoming as one would think they'd be. He did let us try different flavors out, we both ended up getting the "Moose Tracks" boozy ice cream flavor, which it was very tasty. But man, the price for 1 SCOOP of boozy ice cream was $8, and even without being in today's economy I can't justify the cost of that. That's insane to me. 1 scoop of non-boozy ice cream is $6. I hope that they look into decreasing the costs of these. Another thing that I felt mislead about was how they advertise their ice cream vs. how they actually serve it.... Pics below for proof. If you're going to serve ice cream, and advertise it in actual ice cream dishes... then please serve it in ice cream dishes NOT PLASTIC CUPS Overall, disappointing to spend money on overpriced ice cream. Hopefully others will learn from our mistake & not bother.

Our most recent visit, the employee looked a little annoyed or maybe bored and didn't greet us when we walked in (it's fine, he was busy and working by himself so so get it). My husband and I were talking about the menu and making comments about "ohh they took off this flavor?!" or "mm.. that one sounds good". As we were debating what we wanted, the employee was sighing loudly and even rolled his eyes. When we asked about Joel, he said that Joel no longer worked there. We haven't been back since - not because of a not so welcoming experience, but simply because it's out of the way and we don't exactly have an excitement to go back. The store itself is clean and has a few tables inside as well as some outside. The menu changes occasionally and offers new flavors while taking some off the menu. There are some staples that remain regardless of other changes and adjustments.

My friend loved her gelato and she also got a macaron, which she said was great. The cones are beautiful and look like flowers when they're done scooping. We bought 2 small cups and 1 macaron and our bill was $20. I'm sure I'll be back, since it's walking distance.
