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!!

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.

So much attitude. Oh and they don't sell one scoop here, so you have to pay double for your ice cream. I think they should just close down this location!

The texture and creaminess was perfect. The service was fast and friendly. Great selection and the store was squeaky clean. It all made for an excellent experience and I look forward to going back.

This is a cute small ice cream shop with the Pearl. The service was fast. We didn't see the inside…read moresince we ordered at the window. They have some seating inside but it gets busy quick. They do offer a few two seat tables outside as well. They do have menus posted by the to go window but there aren't any prices. I would say this is on the pricey side since one scoop is small and a little over $4 each. They also offer toppings for about $1 each. I got a diary free option - The pecan joy. It was a coconut ice cream with pieces of pecan , chocolate and coconut shavings. It wasn't overly sweet. I think the crunch of the pecan and creaminess of the chocolate mixed with the coconut was the perfect balance.

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.

It has mochi toppings! That's my favorite!…read more For $0.57 per ounce, Yogurt Zone is a little expensive than what I'm used to ($0.49 per ounce), but it's still affordable. I love the flavors it offers here, there are standard tart, chocolate and sorbet flavors, and also local specials like Horchata which I never had in any other places before. I will definitely stop by again.

Allow me to be the first to review downtown's only fro-yo stand!…read more When I arrived there was nobody else in sight. Good because there was no crowd to deal with. There are few yogurt flavors available. If you're trying to watch your waist line never fear because there's nutritional info like calorie count next to each yogurt flavor. You also get a wealth of selections like cookie dough, candy, sprinkles, waffle cone bits and strawberry and mango flavored bobas, which resemble the little bubbles you get in a bubble tea I highly recommend Yogurt Zone if you're craving the cold deliciousness of Haagen Daz and Ben & Jerry's ice cream but minus the guilt and extra calories and pounds.

We could see Francesco's sign and almost walked away thinking there was no way to eat it there. The storefront is very small but they have ample seating in the back. I'm so glad they did cause that was a deal breaker that day, (107°outside) The gelato is totally top notch! I tried the berry. The flavor was very intense to the very end. Thinking of getting one for the road!

Hmm maybe I'm an outlier or just a gelato snob, but I didn't find my chocolate chip and strawberry…read moregelato to be anything extraordinary. I didn't even finish my cup, which is saying something, as I love gelato typically. It was on the bland side and priced higher than it should be. It may just be a tourist gimmick based on its location in the center of San Antonio right near the Alamo. I personally would not return.

Where is the button for 10 stars???…read more Oh man! Black+White Modern Creamery is easily one of the best ice cream spots I've ever tried, and definitely the best I've had in San Antonio! 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. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors and next time I will bring a big cooler to bring more back home!
