    Banana split and a caramel espresso scoop

    Ice cream was creamy and good when slightly melted, came a little too frozen. And it doesn't come with nuts on top.

    Jesse greeted us with a smile and very inviting energy! He explained that all flavors are unique and made to order. They have no ice cream out for display and he said they unfortunately don't do samples. I opted for the "almond joy" which is actually vegan/dairy free! I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was! My husband got the pumpkin spice cheesecake and of course I tried it and it was so delicious as well. The best part about this experience was chatting with Jesse who we learned is also a veteran like my husband and I. He shared with us that this is the 2nd location here in San Antonio! They have free arcade games, awesome vibrant decor and of course they offer military discount! So glad my husband found this gem to rave about in yelp! Can't wait to return!

    Went to this place out of fate and wow was it incredible. Military friendly and even the staff was a veteran, so cool. They offer home made fresh ice cream which was so delicious and unique. I really enjoyed my pumpkin spice cheesecake it was one of a kind. The shop itself was so cool there were arcade video games like the Simpsons to play for free while you waited for our ice cream to be made and plenty of seating. The staff was one of the best parts so friendly and helpful. Jesse Touché was incredibly hospitable and friendly made us feel like we were eating with family. Definitely coming back!

    I had the vanilla and coffee!! Amazing my new favorite ice cream shop!

    An absolute amazing ice cream if you have not tried this family owned business. I highly recommend it.

    Excellent quality, store made ice cream in a wide variety of unique flavors you won't find anywhere else. I recommend getting two scoops, two locations, one on Pat Booker near Polly's pet shop, the other is across the highway from the Forum between Chuy's and Pasha. Last time I was there I got the apple jack and the bananas foster. I tried the almond joy before and it was fantastic. The menu changes frequently so visit often. Something there for everyone, retro video game arcade console also. Small local business, support them! :)

The manager and the person checking us out were friendly. The selection was limited. The manager said that customers came in before the SNAP benefits changes and bought a lot of stuff.

Walking in…read moreis a total sensory overload in the best way possible--rows of technicolor treats, piñatas hanging from the ceiling, and that iconic "Batman" guarding the aisles. The Layout & Vibe It is a massive warehouse-style shop filled with every kind of candy imaginable. They have a huge selection of American classics and imported Mexican favorites, but their homemade line is where they really shine. * The "Batman" Rule: You can't miss the life-sized Batman statue--just a heads-up that there's a "Do Not Touch" sign on him! * Organization: The shelves are packed with everything from bulk lollipops and "Glow Pops" to stacks of de la Rosa Mazapán. What to Grab * The Classics: You have to get the de la Rosa--it's a staple for a reason. * The "San Antonio" Specials: They are famous for their Chamoy pickles (look for the Big Tex Dill Pickle in Chamoy), Picositas belts, and those spicy tamarindo chili balls. * Party Needs: Beyond the candy, they have a ton of party supplies and authentic piñatas if you're prepping for an event. Pro-Tips for Your Visit * Parking: They have a dedicated customer parking lot, so you don't have to stress about finding a spot on the street. * Timing: They are open Monday-Saturday (9:00 AM - 6:30 PM) and Sunday (10:00 AM - 4:00 PM). * The "Sugar Rush": Be prepared to leave with way more than you planned. It's hard to say no when everything is so well-priced and unique! Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a San Antonio institution that you have to experience at least once. #AlamoCandy #SanAntonioEats #MexicanCandy

I have gone to locations on the East Coast as well as California, and those are full scale stores, often multiple stories with ceiling high statues of candy. Although this is merely a booth area, I loved the open air feel. Couple this with the service, I this one more than the one on The River Walk. The employees were very friendly. Aside from a few things not having been priced yet, they were operating efficiently & smoothly for day one. The prices here are admittedly higher than most stores, but I would advise seeing it more as an experience. There is also definitely far more selection and variety than The average candy store. One can always try for very little from the candy in the bins. Quality over quantity. The typical by the lb candy, the section with oversized everything, sushi candy, full sized pizza candy, then my favorite, Plush Yummy World Food! The story behind Yummy World is that they were originally designed by Heidi Kenney (http://www.mypapercrane.com) before being bought by KidRobot. I have loved her art for more than a decade, and only admired her even more after meeting her during a local art festival in her home state, Pennsylvania (the festival was in Philadelphia, she lives in nearby Waynesboro). Anyways, they have many of these plushes there! Adorable. Cheese Balls, Curly Fries, Fruit, and Tacos that last forever. Enough said.
