This is a premium ice cream shop with multiple locations in the New Braunfels/San Marcos area. A wide variety of unique flavors are available and the texture and mouth-feel is outstanding. Across two visits we were able to try Big Red (famous soda here in TX), Banana Pudding, Snickerdoodle, Iced Animal Cookie, Belgian Chocolate, and Dark Chocolate Orange. Stop into Rheas and satisfy that ice cream need! You wont be disappointed.
Great variety of unique flavors. We found this place by accident, but always come back. Freshly made small batch ice cream, and the waffle cones are fresh and delicious as well.
My family from out of town & I stopped by the Gruene location. It was all of our first times going to Rheas. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the Goat Cheese and Raspberry Jam ice cream flavor. Its perfect! Not tart, not sweet, not overpowering; just the perfect blend of flavors that meshed well. It tasted like a very light cheesecake but without that tartness. It was so good we went back two days later. I got the same thing but this time I also got Banana Pudding ice cream. Oh my stars!! When I tell you this was like having frozen pudding in a cone!!This is now my favorite place to go for ice cream...I dont care if I live 20 minutes away thats where Im going!!
Their vegan mint chocolate chip ice cream is amazing and they even have coffee cookies and cream. Cute little spot. Better than other ice cream places.
Great place, especially after an jalapeño bacon burger from tin top(the also great Burger place under the same roof). And it is uncanny how ALL the flavors taste great and exactly how it’s labeled
Ice cream was great. Staff not friendly at all. No greeting, no acknowledgement, just looked like they didn’t want to be working.Only gave 3 starts for the great ice cream.Responding to Owner: we went to the one near Tin Top location. It was Sunday around 1pm
Great selection of ice cream - I tried the vegan mint chocolate chip and it was very satisfying! It’s not too often you see vegan ice cream on a menu. Thanks for catering to everyone! I’ll come back for the vegan burger next time. ;)
Amazing ice cream. Try the coffee oreo flavor 👌
Fun flavors and quick service! The kids and I love it here.
Really good ice cream. If you reading this they dont take cash
The girl here was super sweet. Try the Oreo coffee !
First time their it was awesome like sitting out side under umbrellas staff was awesome and smiled the whole time the burgers where so juice vegetables where fresh. Highly recommend this place.
Talk about ice cream...this place has the best. I am not ahuge ice cream fan, but this place has some irresistible flavors and the texture is fantastic
Excellent ice cream at a fun little place near Landa Park and not far from downtown New Braunfels. They have very exotic flavors like Goat Cheese Raspberry Jam and Circus Animal Crackers, all of which you can try beforehand and that are delicious. The shop itself is on the smaller side and shares space with another restaurant, but the shared space is really nice and even has an area to sit and look out large windows which would be great for working. Definitely recommend the ice cream flights!
They have the best most unique ice creams ever Salted Carmel is so delicious
Excellent! The ice cream is delicious and the place is very cute. I had the banana pudding ice cream, so yummy. It might be nice to have the flavors listed on the wall so that people can read them while they are waiting. It is a very tight space where you are ordering and you can see the flavors until it is your turn to order. Overall, fantastic we will return!
Some of the best food and prices on our TX trip.
Rheas is always great! The customer service is top notch and they always have a couple vegan options for my wife. I have yet to try something that wasnt amazing at Rheas although when I got the cookie sandwich with 2 HUGE fresh warm cookies and a large scoop of ice cream in between I did regret it...thats a meal in itself! It was delicious and I ate the whole thing after having a burger at Tin Top so needless to say I was stuffed. If you want the best cookie sandwich of your life go hungry or plan to share cause they are enormous! Love Rheas!
Great quick, quaint stop for some awesome specialty ice cream. All made in house as well as their waffle cones. I opted for a banana pudding smoothie and was not let down in flavor. My son got a goat cheese and raspberry ice cream, it was a knock out if you are a fan of cheese. Added a pleasant saltiness to the sweet raspberries. My coffee addict daughter got an Oreo and Coffee ice cream in one of their crispy waffle cones. My only complaint is the consistency of the ice cream. It does seem to melt rather quickly.
Ice cream is pretty good. Scoops are small and a little pricey.
Really incredible flavors you just can’t expect. Our new finds are avocado coconut, goat cheese raspberry jam and banana pudding.Friendly. Delicious. Coffee and espresso drinks with ice cream mixes. This place is really awesome. Our server was very sweet and helpful. You will not be disappointed.
Thats some good ice cream!
The food was awesome and the staff was outstanding
I had there banana pudding icecream and it was fabulous.Love that there ice cream is homemade and that they make new creations based on costumer recommendations
Love that they offer Vegan options. Thank you!
Absolutely delightful flavors, friendly staff. A little pricey, but 100% worthwhile. Get the animal cracker cookie flavor or the banana puddin. You wont be disappointed.
Quaint little shop run by a nice young woman with plenty of flavors and options. Has coffee, ice cream, and a variety of ways you can get all sorts of cafe-like foods made. Not too cheap, not too expensive, good for a relaxing night. Highly recommended👍
The playground for the kids is great! My 6 year old son ❤d it! My older kids enjoyed the coffee oreo flavor and me? I had a scoop of smores. In addition to the various array of ice cream flavors, including many vegan offers, they also serve espresso with ice cream, milkshakes and ice cream cookies! My 15 year old daughter lookef around and said, Mom this would be a cool place to hangout with burgers and other food items served next door. I highly recommend coming in for a scoop or two. Thanks Rheas!
Fabulous, little ice cream and coffee place. Very clean, the young lady was very pleasant and kind. We tried the latte and vanilla cookie ice cream. Very good. Definitely going back for more. Support the local business.
They carry vegan options that are DELICIOUS!!! Probably the best cone I’ve ever had! AND it’s super cute!!! 100% recommend
My favorite place to take my son for a little ice cream date! Right now he’s all about that animal cookie ice cream, but I can’t quit that avocado coconut 🤤! The retro atmosphere and music are just the cherry on top.
This was a very cute little ice cream shop! They had home made ice cream with lots of unique flavors! I would highly recommend this place :)
They have great ice cream and my kids love it there. The environment is inviting, friendly staff and they are based out of a cool older house. Keep doing what you do guys. We love it!
The banana pudding ice cream on a homemade waffle cone was absolutely delicious! The animal cracker ice cream was tasty too! Plus an awesome historical house to sit and enjoy it in the air conditioning! Great!
My kids and I love this place! It is a modern spin on a classic ice cream parlor. Adorable interior and delicious ice cream. They always have new and inventive flavors to try.
This is the best icecream I have ever had. Highly recommend.👍❤
BEST ICE CREAM EVER!!!
Really fun and unique place to have delicious ice cream! The scoops were definitely healthy servings and very tasty. I would definitely recommend the banana pudding
Very rich creamy ice cream. I got coffee cookies and cream and sampled three other flavors. The location is cute. Everything was clean. The attendant was polite and fast.
Awesome customer service.Great clean building.Only 10 weird unique flavors.Taste of plain chocolate and vanilla bean were horrible. Tasted like a sugerless diabetic smoothie.There are no normal flavors here. Only new house made up flavors.
Super cute little place. Love trying all the new different types of ice creams, especially the smores!
Delicious ice cream made by wonderful people.
Our first visit since their expansion and serving burgers...they were wonderful! I loved the bacon, swiss, mushroom burger...so much flavor...finished with their goat milk raspberry and salted caramel cream ice cream...vundebar! Service was quick and friendly...we will be back!
This was our first time at the New Braunfels location. They had some interesting flavors. The best is the chocolate milkshake and the circus cookie. Love them. Will be back.
I bought a great tasting milkshake here, but halfway through it I found the ladys black hair swimming around in it and I threw the rest away.
Its got that small town ice cream shop charm, but they really step it up with some interesting flavors. Great place for a snack after the river, or whenever.
Great ice cream!! Banana pudding and Oreo coffee are a must when visiting here. Waffle cones are tasty!
Great ice cream in a neat location. All is made same day. Only wish they had sugar free options
Simple yet delicious, New Braunfelss finest ice cream. Must have: Rheas The Roof, espresso with ice cream. Its a brilliant combination and will leave you pleased and full of energy.
This place is bomb! Great ice cream all of it homemade. Super friendly staff
Got two scoops of banana pudding and circus animal cookie ice cream with a waffle cone and it was HEAVENLY. Highly recommend this cute little shop.
Really cool little place, great ice cream!! Also has a food area attached on the other side, hadnt been there yet.
What a blast from the gourmet ice cream past! We love the avocado coconut ice cream, the big red, and the strawberry basil... its fun, funky and incredibly tasty!
SO flipping delicious! Had a hard time deciding but landed on the Avacado Coconut and loved every bite. But the Nutella Strawberry and the Goat Cheese and Raspberries were very close seconds. Cant wait to go back.
Great customer service. Prefer this over other local ice cream parlors
Great small batch ice cream shoppe and they always have a special so great place for families.
Awesome old skool motif. Good Afogotos and they make their own ice cream!
Flavors are great, but could be better / more variety. I liked the 2 milkshake I got, chocolate and vanilla (it was a buy one get one free special)
Fantastic ice cream and wonderful service! The coffee is great too.
Very good custom ice cream. Great atmosphere. But no vanilla ice cream!?
Delicious
Amazing in house homemade ice cream, bursting with real flavors of your choice. I would and will recommend to you and everyone over and over again and again!!!!!
This is the best ice cream for miles. The flavors are on point. Raspberry goat cheese and coffee Oreo are my go-tos.
Always delicious and the workers are always friendly ! Thanks for being in the neighborhood
Really good flavors that are interesting and a fun location! Great for a cool summer treat
The ice cream shop is right off of the river, a perfect spot to cool off after tubing down the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels.
Delicious ice creams at a very good price! Big parking lot and friendly and helpful staff recommended for a delicious ice cream!
Very nice with a good atmosphere and very in treating and delicious ice cream 10/10 would return again
Awesome homemade ice cream. Its my favorite
Reminiscent of the San Marcos original, the ice cream is unique and flavorful, the combination of great burgers and fries and a comfortable, homey restaurant is a winner!
The best ice cream. My kids love it! Raspberry and goat cheese was my fav!
Best Ice Cream ever! Unique flavor combinations, that are rich, creamy and not oversugared to allow the real flavorvto shine through. This is, must have, Ice Cream.
Loved this place! Such a cute, friendly little shop. We were in town since hurricane harvey hit rockport. Everyone there was extremely friendly and welcoming, they treated us like friends instead of an average customer. We will definitely visit everytime were in town.
It was pretty good but it was a little pricey but meny unique flavors, also meny nice places to sit and eat your ice cream.
The goat cheese raspberry jam ice cream was delicious.
Super friendly service, lots of unique flavors, great tasting ice cream, in a really cute setting.
Prices are reasonable -- and its the best ice cream Ive ever had.
Great flavors, great atmosphere, a cool snack after a meal or anytime really. Try the vanilla!
