    THE CULINARY ROOM spices

    The CR is such a fun LITTLE shop in the heart of Lockhart. Filled with tasty sauces, funny plates and tablets, candy, ice cream and puddings, it was a delight browsing the shelves. On the way out be sure to grab some Amy's ice cream or better yet some yummy pudding. I got the key lime and my daughter snags some banana pudding.

    This is a hidden gem in Lockhart. They have a yummy tasting banana cream pudding. They also have cute pottery and gourmet foods, ice creme, and cookies. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.

    Let me first say the service was absolutely terrible!!! It was so bad that I'll happily never go here again. The pudding isn't worth this kind of aggravation. Hopefully, others will have a better experience! The banana pudding was fantastic, but the salted caramel cookie I took two bites and that's all I handle it had way too much sugar in it to enjoy.

    We were driving from Missouri to South Texas and my daughter remembered how delicious the ice cream was from the Culinary Room. We were cutting it close to closing time but we called to see if they could wait for us to arrive. They said they would wait for us to get there! My daughter got the Mexican vanilla ice cream and I got a large cup of banana pudding. Both tasted amazing! Thank you to The Culinary Room!

    Their banana pudding is no joke! I wish I could have taken some home to Denver. I didn't because we had a full day of touring around the bbq places and was worried it would go bad. The store had many goodies to choose from and my kids had their ice cream! It was all wonderful! Definitely stop here to get some presents and dressers

    I am reviewing purely for the puddings. We tried the banana pudding (because everyone seemed to be mentioning it), and the key lime pudding (because my bf is obsessed with key like pie). I've never really sought out pudding, but I'm so glad I tried this because now I realize how tasty it can be!! If you're anywhere near Lockhart, don't pass on the opportunity to try it out!

    Lots of colorful and beautiful gift ideas! What a fun shopping destination

    One of the best in the Austin area. The shop is small and cute, you walk in get your pick of so…read moremany different flavors. They also will suggest things to add on (I had no idea) that will just take things over the top! Great product and will have me going back time and time again.

    Since we're not from the South Austin area we wanted to try a dessert spot down there while…read morevisiting a friend and he highly recommended La Ola Pop Shop down in Kyle. Luckily for us, his recommendation was spot on as La Ola is a great little ice cream shop with a large variety of different cures to whatever your sweet tooth desires. Parking is pretty accessible as it's in a small strip of stores and restaurants and there's ample outdoor seating as well to take in a nice summer night. The interior of the store is also nice and clean, making you feel like you're in a well run place from the moment you step in. We ordered a banana pudding scoop in a cone and a scoop of the Cookie Monster in a cup. The line here moves pretty quickly which is good so we didn't have to wait long from the moment we entered to the moment we began eating outside. The ice cream was delicious. The banana pudding tastes just as advertised with chunks of Nilla wafer throughout the bites, incredibly spot on. The Cookie Monster also tasted great, essentially a cookies and cream scoop dyed blue, but why not have a bit of fun with it? The whole experience was great and if ice cream isn't your thing they have numerous other options like shakes and ice pops to get you by. The only ding we can think of is that the trash outside was overrunning and looked like it hadn't been changed in hours. Nevertheless, we're very glad we stopped by here to get a sweet treat and would highly recommend it to anyone in the far South Austin/Kyle area looking to cool off on a summer night.
