    The best treats! Shakes are to die for! Quick service! Good ambiance and great scenery

    Mango madness
    Josh P.

    Oh my gosh, I was so pleasantly surprised to find such good ice cream during our Big Bend trip. The owner was working and was very friendly and comes from several high end restaurants where she was the dessert expert. We got the Tiramiso Parfait and the Mango madness and a pint of honey lavender ice cream to go. Both sundaes were fantastic and we were both so happy. We do wish we had gotten a different to go ice cream as it wasn't bad but not as good as the other things we had there.

    Creative sundaes and desserts plus large servings! Our group shared several items and everything was very tasty.

    Workers were chatty and passionate about the town. They even offered suggestions for the area. It's located in a great spot, next to Dead Hungry & Starlight, which both have good food. Myself and my two friends both loved our orders. If you want a sweet treat, you have to stop here.

    Went right when they opened, and had 4 separate items within minutes. Super nice!! Will be back

    Fun converted food truck in Terlingua Ghost Town. We headed over here after lunch and a morning/afternoon of exploring the Ghost Town. We arrived 15 mins before they opened but we were kindly greeted and told they were getting ready but would open up a little earlier for us. While we waited a bit, we explored the ruins at the campground next door. Their menu consists of soft serve with lots of fun toppings and additions. Also have shakes and pup cups. The Sundae Specials Menu with fun and creative sundaes/"parfaits" drew me in. I had a hard time narrowing it down but decided on the "Tiramisu Parfait." Such a good choice. The layers of deliciously soaked lady fingers and vanilla ice cream dusted with cocoa powder was a dream. Their vanilla is so creamy and decadent. Days later and I find myself feeling sad that I live 7 hours away from this magical place. My five-year-old ordered a vanilla and chocolate cone with star sprinkles and had the time of his life devouring eh-ver-y bit. We enjoyed a Willy Nelson sighting, or a local cowboy who looked just like him sighting, who dropped in while we were there and ordered a vanilla cone and shared a friendly greeting. Great local vibe. We took our ice cream across the street to enjoy it while we explored more ruins. A must-stop if you're visiting Terlingua.

    We visited Milky Way Treats while exploring Big Bend and oh my! This ice cream can heal pieces of your soul you didn't know needed healing. The service was top notch, she was so patient with us and provided guidance on what we might like. And the view from this spot was as incredible as the ice cream. 10 out of 10!

    Super delish ice cream spot in Terlingua, Tx. Much deserved after the hikes we took in Big Bend! The ice cream was out of this world and so were the staff. We had an amazing view of the desert and it made the ice cream taste all the more yummy!

    Tropicana sundae - dairy free strawberry soft serve ice cream, fruit, candied lemon peel, and a berry sauce.

    Best desert in the dessert! Cute little ice cream trailer. Loved that they had dairy free options. 10/10 recommend if you're in the area.

    Medium soft serve (I mixed it already sorry) Oreos and Reese's. I got a swirl ( chocolate and vanilla)
    Katie D.

    I loved the ice cream. I got a medium soft serve and I think it was a good size. A lot of options for toppings and there are example combinations for people to choose from as well. The view was amazing. The woman we spoke to was very nice and inviting l. I will say though their hours are kinda random depending on what week it is. Like spring break they're open every day but I think they're only open three days a week other than that. I'm not honestly sure. But amazing place.

    Strawberry (dairy free) and vanilla soft serve! 10/10

    Strawberry soft serve is dairy free and the vanilla soft serve is delish! Both 10/10.

    Cupcake & Ice Cream Special. Homemade cream filled chocolate cupcake without corners cut obv. and soft serve vanilla.

    Their topping combos are great and the homemade soft serve tastes like a rich vanilla ice cream.

The coffee is fine, speciality but pretty simple, and the food works, but I'm confident this spot is so popular for their other offering. The aesthetic pet friendly patio, spacious interior, variety of plants, and purchasable local artwork set it apart for anything and everything you'll find in the area. In fact, if you have a couple minutes to spare, it's worth stopping in, grabbing a drink, and treating the spot like a museum/local store. From tshirts, to hiking gear, to small local products, cacti and more, there's a little something for everyone, Protip: visit them at sunrise for an unrivaled majestic experience. :)

We showed up early for our ride with Terlingua Stables, while we had some time to burn, we dropped by to grab some coffee. It looked like it opened slightly earlier the day prior, and the day we got there it was as if they were still getting ready at 8:20am. I was glad to have this place open during the Terlingua "slow" season. They had three types of drip available, and I tried one of their muffins. I think for the most part the other patrons in the shop/cafe. The menu has sandwiches, toasts, breakfast snacks. So, if you had time, at breakfast or lunch, food is an option. The staff were nice. The cafe and shop were clean. The shop had a variety of things for sale - cool gear, cool snacks, cool coffee, cool art. They have art for sale, and big art, small art... shirts with art on them. Liz picked up a light long sleeve shirt to cover her arms during our times outside. There's a cool painting of John Wayne outside the bathroom for about $1,200. There is a bigger but similar style mural of Willie Neslon in the main shop area. It looks real cool. They have African statues and masks from all over. In the cafe portion, you can find plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Liz enjoyed her coffee in the unusually cool and breezy July morning outside. Solid 3.5 and great place for coffee and art.

    Talk about small town charm with big city quality food…read more I'm in town for work and I was recommended this place by a state trooper who had to remind me of the speed limit on my way from Austin. The first morning I tried it out, I have been back everyday since. It starts with the staff. You enter and seat yourself and Bertha is with you almost immediately with a huge smile on her face and the softest sweetest voice. It's a small town and slower paced but the food arrives quickly. Now I'm not going to lie, this isn't a Michelin star restaurant and I actually prefer it that way out here. The quality and flavors are perfect, not exaggerated deconstructed nonsense. The food is made with love and the tortillas are made fresh in house. I'm pretty sure everything is made fresh and from scratch but the tortillas are for sure. The owner is usually in and has introduced himself and said hello starting the second time I've come in. If you're in the Big Bend area, specifically Presidio, stop in and say hello to Bertha and get some good food that isn't crazy expensive. I forgot to mention, they sell bagged ice if you're in need and they don't have bs single ply toilet paper in the restroom either. HUGE plus I'm my book.

    Very worth it. Didn't know how a place out here had such a high rating with so many reviews…read more Starting with the greeting and the chips with salsa, I was understanding. Got the green sauce chicken enchiladas. Geez, perfect in every way. Most restaurants save their dried out chicken for the enchiladas, this place doesn't. There's not a thing I could say to improve or complain about. Friendly people, superb food, modern looking restaurant. Well, well worth the price.
