Brindles Awesome Ice Creams

Solid ice cream, but nothing worth raving about.I've been to Brindles twice now and have deemed it just okay. The place is pretty outdated with poor lighting but has always been clean, and there seems to be only one person working at a time in the afternoons at the very least.This last visit we ordered a Hot Chocolate and a scoop of Burgundy Cherry Ice Cream. The Hot Chocolate wasn't really hot to begin with, more so at room temperature, and you could definitely tell it was water based. The thin layer of whipped cream at the top gave it a slight creaminess that it definitely needed, but once it was gone it was extra lackluster. At the end of the drink, we were left with a coagulated layer of marshmallows at the bottom.The Burgundy Cherry Ice Cream came in a cute plastic cup and was pretty creamy with soft chunks of delicious cherry. From the samples and purchases made on both our visits, we noticed that we could easily taste the same 'base flavor' throughout all the ice creams no matter the flavor. They taste as if a flavor or topping was added to the same dairy heavy base ice cream and wasn't entirely blended so well. The flavors are just a little too muddied for us I guess.Though I wouldn't necessarily recommend Brindles, I can't say I'd never go again. I think there are better ice cream shops to visit instead, but I'd go again if a friend asked me to go.

I have loved Brindles since it first opened. The original owners were parents from the school where I taught. They even had a painting that our art teacher painted hanging in there. I don't know why I never wrote a review.On this visit, I had two scoops in a bowl. They were both super creamy and delicious. I can't tell you what flavors they were because I purposely chose two with names that meant nothing to me. One of them was so amazing that I actually went and asked what was in it. I think I was told pineapple, coconut, and mint. The individual flavors were very subtle and created and amazing blended taste.The staff is nice. The place is clean and attractive. Plus, they serve the ice cream in those cute little plastic flower bowls. What's not to like?

Brindles Awesome Ice cream is truly awesome! I am a creature of habit and I always get plain cheesecake. I've tried many of the flavors in the past. I went yesterday to pick up some journals from next door. I had to get ice cream since I was already there. Brindles is located inside Huebner Oaks Shopping Center which is like clusters of plazas in a big area on I-10 and Huebner. This area is really nice to shop and it seems even during the week it's fairly busy. Brindles is a long-time favorite, the texture of the ice cream is definitely milk. I can taste the difference if it was powdered milk or fresh milk. I like to think of myself as someone who has tried all brands of ice cream, it's a hobby. Could that be a hobby, LOL Well, it's clean inside and the ladies who attended me were kind. I was the only one in the store. I love how they change the pictures on the walls. I saw funny cats with cowboy hats this time. I enjoyed my ice cream sitting down in the fresh cool air. It was a lovely experience. It looked like it wanted to rain so I got to going. Take your friends! Take your family! Take Your Beloved! You will be pleasantly surprised! :) P.S. I still have not met not one person who doesn't like ice cream. Let me know if you have.

I was craving some ice cream and looked on Yelp to see what ice cream shop was near me. This spot popped up so I wanted to try it out. The owner Josh served us. We tried at least 5 flavors of ice cream. Each flavor was unique and different. They were all so good, I couldn't make up my mind. So I decided to get a pint of Red Velvet. It was so smooth, not crazy over powering with flavor, just perfect. Thank you! We will be back soon!

We recently visited a nearby ice cream store and, unfortunately, we were disappointed with the quality of the ice cream. Some of the flavors had an icy texture, which was not ideal.The store is situated in a large center with ample parking and plenty of tables inside. The space itself was satisfactory, but the dipping cabinets lacked lighting, making it difficult to see the ice creams properly.We tried the German chocolate, strawberry (child scoop), Hokey Pokey, and moose tracks flavors. The cups and spoons were nice, but the employee seemed confused and appeared to be new.

I think a true end of an era is coming for Brindles. I learned on Saturday that a new owner has taken over and a number of the OG flavors are being retired including one of my favorites, Sweet Cream ice cream. Additionally, the style inside will be changing. I believe they said it'll become "southern bohemian." I would have given Brindles 5-stars again, yet the news about Sweet Cream bummed me out. Our family and friends are looking forward to the new changes, and we're hoping for the best for the new flavors.

We drove half an hour for good ice cream, and good it was! Delicious without being too sweet, generous portion sizes, gelato AND sorbet AND ice cream were all offered. I thought the service was very kind, too. Worth the drive!

My husband and I visit San Antonio often and are slowly building a list of our top places to eat. We hadn't found an ice cream shop we really loved until tonight. The funny thing is that we had originally wanted to try a different shop but a glitch with Google maps ended up taking us in the opposite direction. Rather than drive all the way back we decided to give another shop a try and we're so glad we did. Brindle's Awesome Ice Creams is... Well.... Awesome!The owner was working the register and invited us to try all the various flavors.... To be honest every flavor we tried was delicious! We finally decided to get 2 scoops in a waffle cone bowl. My husband got cookies and cream and I got the banana pudding. The waffle bowl was delicious and crispy. The cookies and cream is probably hands down the best cookies and cream I have ever had. Brindle's blends the Oreos into the vanilla ice cream so that every bite is creamy and full of cookie flavor. They then add chunks of oreo cookie to put it over the top.Now, anyone will tell you banana pudding is not something I would normally get. But this ice cream tastes EXACTLY like real banana pudding and has chunks of Nilla wafers too! I had to get it and enjoyed every bite.We learned that the owner just recently took over the business. In fact, he told us Brindle's was a date night favorite when he and his wife first started dating! So cool that he now owns it. He's obviously passionate about ice cream and puts a lot of love into his flavors.We are big fans and will definitely keep coming back!

One of my favorite things to do with my boyfriend is to drive out to the Hill Country for gelato and coffee. But sometimes I'm not down for an hour wait, so we decided to try something local. Brindles is located in a large shipping center with plenty of parking. There are a few small tables outside and a fair amount of seating inside. The place smells divine, sweet and sugary. There's a huge selection of options from ice creams to cones to toppings. There's a lot. I had Nutella cheesecake; two things I love. My boyfriend had pistachio and peanut butter. I had high hopes for the Nutella. It was good, but after a couple bites, the flavors just melded together and just tasted sweet. The pistachio and peanut butter were also good, but again really sweet.I think it's a good local option, but if rather drive it to the Hill Country for my gelato.

Loved the peach tea ice cream here! I've passed by this shop tons of times but finally went in. The flavors are unique and tasty. The employees were welcoming and let me sample all that I wanted. It's a very casual shop and good for a post dinner dessert.
