    Favorite place to get ice cream. I always ask for a cone in a cup. Friendly staff. Ice cream is always consistent. Small litter store.

    I stopped by this cute little gem on a 102 degree weather day and it was the best choice I could've made. I walked in and was greeted and served promptly. I ordered my favorite cookies and cream and it was delicious and the waffle cone is homemade & was tasty as well. It was only $5 plus tax & oh so filling.

    If you are in San Marcos, head to the square and grab you some ice- cream at Rhea's. All their flavors are creamy and delicious. My favorite is the Banana Pudding in a waffle cone. On a warm evening there is nothing better than grabbing a cone and walking around the square. If you prefer to stay in the A/C they have tables inside to sit and chill. Love Love this place. The summer is here and the heat is brutal so head there and get some reprieve. You will thank me!!

    Delicious, good price, and big scoops of ice cream in college town. Their vegan avocado and coconut ice cream is surprisingly delicious. Flavors are very on point. I wish there would be seating area inside and outside to enjoy the vibe. Highly recommend you all check out this sweet treat spot when you're in the area.

    Great ice cream. They do not accept cash which is odd. Person behind the counter was wearing a mask so I assume she was sick. However she had on a tank top with tons of armpit hair. Is that hygienic???

    Interior of the shop

    I will revisit this ice cream shop if I ever come to San Marcos. One of the best ice cream I ever tasted. There are unique flavors of ice creams. My favorite was strawberry Nutella and coffee Oreo. One scoop of ice cream is larger than other ice cream shop and they use fresh ingredient.

    Wife eating her ice cream. I declined bc they only had 2 vegan flavors and you could not test.

I placed an order several days in advance to be delivered to my brother for his birthday. On the day of the delivery, I get a message that it was delivered with a picture that is not my brother's house. I can't see the house number and have no idea where it went. I called my brother and obviously he didn't get the order. I called the store and explained that the order was not delivered to the correct house. I was put on hold several times, gave the information requested, then put on hold again. In the interim, my brother's neighbor took the delivery over to their house. When the lady came back on the line I told her that the cookies were delivered by my brother's neighbor. She was quiet and didn't say anything. I said to her, the delivery driver (Tucker) still dropped it off to the wrong house and that should be addressed. Luckily, my brother's neighbor didn't toss them or keep them. She didn't say anything, didn't offer a remedy, didn't apologize, nothing. I will not order from them again. I'll go back to Tiff's for orders in this area.

As we approached the door, there was a worker inside actively mopping the floor. The worker mopping made eye contact with us the entire time we walked up. Instead of saying they were closed, she put her head down and continued mopping. After we pulled on the door to open it and saw that it was locked, she still decided to ignore us. She was very reluctant to open the door, once she did, she told us that they were closed. I asked her "How if it's 11:57pm?" She just kept repeating that they're closed. So I asked her to confirm what time they closed, she said 12am. After having some back and forth about confirming they close at 12am and why they're closed so early, she then told us that her shift lead didn't want us in the store at all and they put all the ice cream up. Cool. After that we asked for her shift leads manager's name and number, she snarkily answered "Aurora", told us to look the number up and slammed the door in our faces. Throughout the entire interaction she was very condescending. If you really close at 12am, you need to stay open and have the door unlocked until then.

Also, the place was actually very clean which was refreshing considering other diner type establishments. The food also was served before i even filled up my water cup so that was nice too. I was honestly impressed and if you like cheeseburgers and custard, then they won't let you down. P.S. The staff was very helpful and friendly!
