This place was a random Google find and were so glad we came across it. At first everything seemed a little overwhelming with all the different flavors and I think she said 80% of them were vegan too which made us not know what to expect. But everything tasted really fresh and had great texture too!Staff was really friendly and she explained everything to us and all the different flavors with how theyre made. The inside was very clean and welcoming. You can get different flavors together in a cup depending on the size. We got a few different chocolatey and fruity flavors and the coffee one was by far the best in my opinion. The kids loved the raspberry one too.Well definitely be back to try some more of the flavors.

Literally the freshest! They have an amazing selection that are delicious, colorful, and made fresh with wholesome ingredients. They have flavors that cater to all peeps. Perfect evening date spot too with outdoor seating and a lovely sunset view. Super sweet and informative team, too!

I dont give out 1 star reviews lightly, but in this case I will. My family and I went in recently for some non-dairy scoops and were met by an extremely unpleasant young lady. She seemed painfully annoyed by our mere presence, and even moreso with every question we asked (as it was our first time).We enjoyed the scoops, but we nearly left without purchasing anything due to the workers terrible attitude - we would have left with nothing if my kids were so excited to be getting a treat.The owner (I think) came in at some point, but missed our interaction.If it wasnt for this unpleasant young lady who begrudgingly served us, I would likely give this place a 4 star review. But the overall experience was so negative and uncomfortable that I gotta drop it to a 1 star and say we wont be going back.

Omg!!!! YOU MUST make this place a stop. The ice cream was so delicious and refreshing. I absolutely loved the coconut ice cream! On the photos I tried also mango and pineapple with mint (also delicious a hint of mint). I will most definitely come again!

Had skipped vegan ice cream till now but this won me over. Dozen boutique flavors w/ mix-ins & cute indoor seating (1 table + bar). Pleasant surprise for a small vendor at standard strip mall space.

Great tasting ice cream and great service. A unique Brazilian inspired ice cream shop. Brought our kids here while visiting from out of town and it did not disappoint. The young lady behind the counter was very passionate about what she did. The facilities were super clean too. Highly recommend this place.

Love love love this place. The only dessert in town that doesnt make me feel guilty afterwards. All of their ice creams are made in house and they have a huge selection of gluten free, vegan friendly, lactose intolerant friendly choices.This ice cream does not hurt my belly! They have over 12 flavors to chose from and mixing & matching is always a good strategy. I had no idea about oreo+blackberry until I found this place. Trust me!If youre not feeling something too creamy, they make delicious fruit ice creams with a alkaline water base. Sounds weird at first, but it still feels and tastes like ice cream. Not a sherbert or anything! 🤯🤯 Idk how they do it.The service is always friendly and the prices are not outrageous. They are following the closest of covid guidelines and keeping their customers as safe as possible. Now with the added delivery and open on Sundays, theres no excuse to not try this place.Ill definitely be back soon. Cant believe it took me this long to write a review. Looks like the secret is out now!

The service is so nice they were very informative of the concept which I quickly bought into. The young lady with freckles was so sweet and patient. Ive tasted nothing like this ever. The freshness is amazing the flavors are bursting. Im from Georgia and I highly recommend this place. It is definitely a star attraction to the city. I got the Romeo and Juliet and the Brazilian.

Arepas are amazing!!! My first time trying and they are now a fave I must get every time! They offer smoothies, coffees, and ice cream, and have options such as gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. There is some indoor seating but also outdoor seating, and its a very nice, chill place to just hang out with friends over tasty and unique options you cant find anywhere else.

Review №24

So many vegan flavors!!! I highly recommend this place! It’s so inviting and the owner is very sweet!! If you go, you must try the tea and hot chocolate (both vegan)! The non-vegan flavors are also lactose intolerant. (:You can taste the quality and fresh ingredients in the ice cream! I do not think the prices are high at all considering the quality.I was reading other peoples reviews (as I always do). I came across a review saying the store name was misleading because it contained “cream” in it, implying there is dairy. I want to be clear. Lactose free does not mean dairy free. Half of the products do contain dairy. I am vegan and cannot have lactose free products.. The name is not misleading. Half of the products contain dairy. (:

Wow!! This place has the freshest most flavorful ice cream I have ever had 👍👍 it is just a small shop with not a lot of flavors to choose from, but all of them are so tasty !! They make new flavors ever couple of days too. Ms Angela was also so amazing and so helpful, she let us try all the flavors.Thank you

Review №35

Yes, the ice cream here is a different texture and yes its delicious. I had the oreo ice cream and realized it was the first time I had oreo flavored ice cream (as opposed to the cookies and cream which just has oreo chunks mixed in).Whatever their recipe is makes for a light ice cream snack. Seriously, I feel less heavy afterwards than when eating regular ice cream.Im not vegan or lactose intolerant, but I tried this place to try something different and Im glad I did.

I was there from our of state on Feb 5 for my sons graduation from basic training. I was with my two daughters and two grandchildren and was in the mood for ice cream. Your name implies it contains cream (dairy). So we stopped in to try. Just getting around to review since it popped up on Google maps timeline. Your store is very quaint and staff were very accommodating and friendly. The product seemed very healthy but a bit expensive (for me, but Im old school) and it probably would have been more refreshing on a hot summer day. So, it was just ok to me. Im sorry about your fake reviews...but Im real. I think your store will do well once you find your customer base.

Amazing vegan selection! The owner said she uses the fruit and coconut milk without any artificial colors or flavorings. I got a good mix of blackberry, Brazilian (pineapple mint), and coconut chia. Amazing snack before I headed back towards Austin!

Review №46

Was greeted by a stuck up, rude, smart alec, plus sized lady with fake lashes and hand me down wrangler jeans. I noticed that they had m&ms as a topping and also Nutella and Oreo ice cream all which have been linked to cause cancer and inflammation in the body. Ironic because they’re located across from a sprouts market which carries the versions of these which have the ingredients that don’t cause this. I didn’t even bother buying anything, who knows what other bad ingredients they’re using, and they claim to be the “freshest ice cream”. I think they need to do a little more research 😊

I had never heard of Freshest Ice Creams but I’m glad I did. I didn’t go crazy with my order just a simple vegan vanilla scoop inside a handcrafted soda float. Nothing crazy at all but it sure was good. My girlfriend got two scoops and couldn’t have been more pleased with her order. Definitely coming back here next time we are in San Antonio.

The right flavors, the right price, and happy workers coalesced into a fantastic experience for the whole family. Dont let the size of the place fool you, this is a place you must visit. They offer just the right amount of unique and classic flavors without making you feel overwhelmed. Examples include: Brazilian (pineapple & mint), corn, peanut (not peanut butter), etc... Every flavor offered was either vegan or lactose-free dairy. Giving a place 5-stars shouldnt be taken lightly, but this place deserved it. Additionally, it was great to see that they scored 100 on their health inspection, displaying it where the customers looks when they walk in was very smart!

Amaaaazing frozen treats. Amazing selection and ingredients. DO try the vegan whipped cream for a dairy-free option. Its INCREDIBLE. Support local small businesses. The owners are precious and so friendly, helpful, generous, and obviously care about their customers and the way that others feed themselves. I hope their business flourishes!
