    Dark v. Light. Dark Shadow and Honey Lavender.
    Amber W.

    This is the cutest, friendliest and cleanest little shop. Tons of flavors to choose from. Toppings galore. They have a "bee flight" to try four different flavors. The service was fantastic. The two people working were warm and friendly. Answered all of the questions people had with a smile. They have dog treats! Frozen yogurt for your dog. However, they are not pet friendly in the store (damn health department). This ice cream was so good, rich and full of brownies. My friend got the honey lavender and said it was so good. Just the right flavor notes not to be perfumy but still taste the lavender.

    I really wanted to like this spot, but service was super, super slow and the ice cream was only okay. The interior is really cutely decorated with lots of bee motifs and pastel colors. It took about 10 minutes from ordering to when the ice cream was scooped and served. There were a bunch of orders ahead, but the time from "ticket to table" was way too long for my preference. I did like that they offer samplings of any of the ice cream flavors. Pricing is reasonable for the quality of ice cream, but I likely won't be back because I wasn't very impressed by the flavors and I wouldn't want to wait so long next time.

    Honey Lavender. One scoop because of sensitivities. It's TOTALLY WORTH IT!! I love the service. I was greeted with a smile and had a great conversation with the staff. The theme inside and outside the building was cute. I'm a big fan of bees. I will be back.

    This was our first visit. We were given the info on all the menu options, sizing, and that they make their ice cream in-house. We sampled a few. My crew loved the unicorn (a good yet subtle cotton candy flavor), mint cookie, butter pecan, crack caramel (toffee amd salted caramel) and monster mash (brownie & cookie mix). Our pup even loved the pup cup we brought home. This was an instant hit for our family amd will be a go-to for future ice cream visits.

    Nice cute decor spot. They have unique flavors with fresh toppings. I had their raspberry cheesecake and it was tasty and not overly sweet. My son had their vanilla with a few toppings. He ate it all up. Will be back to try other flavors and combo like their affogatos. Nice and quick service. And very clean.

    We came here after dinner on a whim! Worth it! If you go to Braza Brava for dinner, skip the dessert (or have it too) and then pop over to Bee Nice for ice cream. This place wowed us! We've had a lot of ice cream all over the country. This is top 5. Time: 7:30 pm on a Saturday evening. Folks were sitting around enjoying their ice cream but no wait for us. Vibes: It's so cute! I love bees and do a lot of work to repopulate and feed the bees. That's partly why my husband picked this place because he knew I'd love the decor. Service: The owner is so friendly and sweet! We can't wait to support her again. The young man working the register was thoughtful and offered samples so we could narrow down. Food: The ice cream is so good, she makes it herself as far as we know! This isn't some mass produced junk that you'll find in many other places. She also has dairy free options. The flavors are so fun it was hard to decide. I was in between the Honey Lavender and the Purple Passion Ube. Both delicious samples and I went with Honey Lavender. It was the perfect night cap! I'll back for the Ube! Hubby got the Cookie Monster ice cream and he was hooked!

    Junk fee
    Mark H.

    I love their ice cream. Bee-yummy! BUT -- Bee-prepared to pay a tip, and a JUNK FEE (convenience fee) of 3.5%. Bee-cause, when they swing that screen around and you choose "SKIP," (as my wife did because a. they are not service employees, b. it's our choice, right?) you will ~NOT~ advance to the next screen, and will also find the fee (see the UPDATE) UPDATE: Also, they charge a convenience fee, placing the cost of their doing bees-ness upon the customer. So -- face a mandatory tip screen AND a junk fee (image included to prove that part). BEE-WARE!! RESPONSE; While I appreciate the concern enough to respond, our experience was that the **only way** to advance to the next screen on the terminal was to select a tip. Pressing the skip button did nothing, so we left a 10% tip just to leave the store with a product. Mind you -- we picked up a tub and received no individual service. Perhaps instead of suggesting customers are lying, you investigate your equipment to make sure patrons like us -- who like your product and can afford it -- do not have a negative experience at checkout.

    First time here at Bee Nice ice cream parlor. It was so so good and the quality is definitely 5 stars! My son got the Unicorn and I got Lavender Honey in a waffle cup. We also enjoyed a vintage soda which was a delicious dream-sicle flavor that didn't taste like baby orange aspirin at all which can happen sometimes. If you're an orange soda fan, you know what I mean. I only took off 1 star for 2 reasons... first the cost is a bit much for what you're getting. Our 3 items came to $18. And more importantly, you cannot see the ice cream when you're making your selection which is so odd to me because most people are visual when they're making an ice cream choice I believe, especially when there are so many unique flavor names that you're not going to just know what they are and I'm not trying to have the Dipper describe multiple flavors to me before I decide and hold up the line. The shop itself is pretty cute and my son said it was the best ice cream he ever had... and he had eaten a lot of ice cream in his 7y!

    This place is the cutest, the young ladies behind the counter were the sweetest. I love the low music they play and how relaxed the atmosphere feels. I tried their Cookie Monster Mash & I can't wait to bring my kids to try it. I had never heard of Ube but their purple passion ube was DELICIOUS! She also told me they make their own ice cream and have pints for sale!

    This place has incredible flavors and high quality ingredients. You can truly taste the quality of each ingredient. They only use the best of everything. The shop is bright, clean, and spacious. Plenty of room to sit and enjoy. The staff is friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. This place is a gem and the best ice cream I've ever had!

    Best vanilla bean ice cream hands down! Homemade ice cream with various unique flavors....Dad's Banana Nut, Rum Raisin, Purple Passion Ube, Lemon Poppyseed and all of the basic flavors. Nice and clean and the service is spectacular!

    The ice cream in good. I just wish the ice cream was displayed so my kids could visualize the ice cream. Toppings are limited.

    Cold, clean, and delicious! That fresh waffle cone smell will drag you in!…read more I have to add - customer service was on point! It's a must stop when you are visiting the riverwalk. Not to mention it is Fiesta parade night.. i think it was the owner? He was so nice to his employees and their families that sat in front of the store to watch the parade. That was a win-win to me!!

    There are two entrances to Kilwins; the more popular one is along Alamo Plaza and the other is on…read moreLosoya Street. 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.

    My vote for best ice cream in San Antonio? Lick Honest Ice Cream!…read more This location is inconspicuously tucked away in the Hemisfair District, in a tiny, cute building on a corner. 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.

    This place was a godsend as it was located right in the middle of the Dia De Los Muertos festival…read moregrounds & all the food stalls were busy with too many people to grab a bite without burning an hour in line. Not only that, but the food operators were not small businesses but operated by the organization or company running the festival. Nothing unique about them or their offerings imho. I found this cute little creamery on Yelp while I was stuck in a crowd of people trying to navigate down the plaza. It wasn't awfully busy & I was able to pop in to sample a few flavors & walk out with a 3 scoop cup in under 5 mins. I'm trying to remember what the flavor I chose was specifically, but I want to say it was goat cheese & honey? It was fantastic whatever it was & it hit the spot on a particularly warm evening. The staff were very friendly & working hard on probably one of the busiest nights of the year. The ice cream was great & consistency between homemade ice cream & frozen custard. A little sticky but still with that yummy grainy texture of homemade & you can tell they are using good ingredients too.
