We were in the area and had passed by here so when we felt like a treat, We decided to stop by. The place is not big but you could find a table easily if not busy. They had a wide variety items to choose from so a little something for everyone. I had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake with a churro which was delicious! My hubby had fruit the fixings and he said it was great! People serving weren't rude but not inviting just there. I did notice they have a drive thru so good For those on the go. I would visit again for sure.

Fun place to come for some street snack. I loved the fruit with chamoy and tajin! They are pretty busy here but the staff is pretty fast. They have an area inside where you can sit down and hang out. The corn in the cup was not for me but I just didn't like that it had ALOT of nacho cheese.

Great price for the amount of food, service was quick and snacks were fresh. Loved the game area wish there was more games.

I ordered an Elote Loko with Hot Cheetos and it was absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend it, it's such a hole in the wall type of place.

I really wanted to like this place. We were craving a funnel cake and they made it fresh. It took about 15 minutes, but it was as hard as a rock. We cut it up when we got home and basically threw it away. Not worth it. Not sure if we will be back for that. Other items looked good and the place looked pretty clean, but was very disappointed with the funnel cake. The pictures of funnel cakes from people who had posted before looked fluffy, but that was not what was given today.

I had a good experience in the past? I don't know what happened? Last night I spent 23.00 on 1 raspa,2 Agua frescas,and another thing with a chamoi stick with sweet and sour stuff for my wife. She liked her's ,however the Agua frescas were a 1 star, they came with ice from the raspas but quickly melted? They were not good at all. They tasted as if it was powered drinks not fresh fruit. Like they sell at the mission flea market on Sundays. The lime raspa was disgusting, tasted like fabulous cleaner or something, my daughter of 7 took only 1 drink and said " why does it taste like that? She's the whole reason we stopped at their business to pick up some goodies? Big mistake ,sorry won't ever go back again. The young lady was not friendly at all ,It seemed as if she didn't even wanna be there. The man in the back didn't seem friendly either or greeted us when walking in? The atmosphere was hot and humid but they did have a wall unit turned on? Wish I could have returned my stuff back and got a refund, but I didn't because I love to support my local small businesses. Hope they improve for their future customers, because they sure did loose this customer today..Sorry??

I do not play when it comes to snacks. The corn in a cup= smacks Fruit roll up wrapped watermelon??= A+ Mangonada= would die for Hot Cheetos and cheese= would fight my husband for. Drive thru is fast even when the line is long, they got every snack you would ever want. The family and workers are the kindest people! Love coming to get my fix here and it is always a nice place to come to! Wish them all the business during this busy spurs season!! read more

What a cool place! We came here after visiting bbq republic. Awesome staff! Very helpful and patient with us! The portions! Wow! They didn't skimp at all, and in my opinion priced fairly! I mean we only tried two items, but I can see me coming back with the kiddos and letting them go ham. We had a mineral water prepared, and strawberries and chocolate. You would be surprised how a simple dish as strawberries and chocolate can be ruined by using cheap chocolate! This was some of the best chocolate I've had the pleasure of trying! The mineral water was good, but it was missing spice. Like Valentina or some type of hot sauce! The cucumber pieces in it were a nice touch. We are so coming back! read more

So many options to choose from, if you have a craving this place most likely has it! We tried the banana split, a banyan and strawberry shake, a chango, elote with all the fixings, and popsicle. My family enjoyed themselves. Parking was limited but they do have a drive-thru option, if your preference is to pick-up and go. Will visit again soon!

I love all the treats and snacks here, but the experience at night really needs improvement. They make you pull over to a dark parking area that's not well-lit and doesn't feel safe at all. There are often people loitering around, which makes the wait even more uncomfortable. On top of that, the street access to the drive-thru is terrible. I really wish they'd improve the lighting and security--customers shouldn't have to feel unsafe just to grab a late-night snack. read more

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.

There was a strong cardboard aftertaste and I just couldn't get over it. I was fine with the one bite. Disappointing because I spent $10, but hoping this was a one off. If I'm in San Antonio, Texas again I may give them another try.

It actually took my wife about ten minutes just to complete the payment for a couple of ice creams, which felt longer than the ice cream itself took to melt. What made it even more uncomfortable was watching how she interacted with other employees. It wasn't just unprofessional--it was the kind of scene you'd expect in a low-budget psychological thriller where you start wondering if someone should call for backup. So while the ice cream itself and the front-line staff were great, the overall experience was overshadowed by the atmosphere at the register. Small, crowded, and unkind is not a combination that brings us back. We'll pass next time.

Lick Honest Ice Creams

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.

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!

The ice cream is so good! It melts a little fast and isn't chewy for the texture folk. There are…read morefabulous flavors. I lloved the cornbread, espresso toffee, and circus animal! Lavender milk tea was a good sample!

When I asked if there was any vegan options, the girl starred at me for a few awkward seconds, said "we only have blue bell ice cream which all has dairy" while giving a very dismissive look as if I was clueless. She acted like i was suppose to know that. If you don't have a dairy allergy, then by all means go for this place because they have a lot of options.

As I said, everything was phenomenal. Unfortunately, there is one issue we cannot look past, although we have tried. The bagels are delicious, but they are the absolute wettest, slippery and slidey-est bagels I've ever had in my life. The meal is spent looking down and hoping my beloved or other guests don't see the schmear up to my nose. By the end, we are having to reconstruct our bagel, as it looks like roadkill on the table. It is not a user error, as we eat slowly and carefully. I even have friends who refuse to come back here because it was the messiest eating experience of their lives. It's so unbelievably messy. We have to rinse off in their bathroom before leaving. I have to take my rings off and put my hair up. It's a commitment, one we are not strong enough to make at this point. Delicious, but.... we must bid you farewell, Boss Bagel. Godspeed.

All things in my mind brought this down from a 5 star to a 4. Clean up the tables is definitely something the restaurant has control over. We sat down, and the acetone smell dissipated so either I was use to it or they turned down a shared ventilation system. The food though was the big surprise! It was excellent. We ordered the Special House Bun with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and a crispy egg roll. The proportion of vermicelli noodles to fresh lettuce, carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts and peanuts provide d that perfect bite were one ingredient dominated the other. All the proteins were cooked perfectly. The real winner was the lemongrass Banh mi with once again perfectly proportioned ingredients. We also ordered the fresh spring roll, which never came but wasn't missed except that they did try to charge us for but did remove them. They definitely have some work to make this a comfortable dining experience but I wouldn't let it stop you from trying some phenomenal Vietnamese food.
