Best ice cream ever! Definitely recommend! Owners are the nicest people ever! Place was so cute!
Some of my favorite ice cream in the city. LOVE their banana cream pie flavor. If you have this flavor it's hard to keep me away. All house made and doesn't taste like syrup. The banana is mellow and creamy. They are generous with the vanilla wafers and I LUH dat. I usually pair it with a scoop of cheesecake, make it EXTRA EXTRA creamy. Who doesn't love the idea of a banana cream cheesecake. They tend to run out of both flavors depending on how late you go but their Brindle flavor is always pretty delicious too. I love thicc ice cream. I'm addicted to Brindles, I'm pretty sure they're the cause of the extra 2lbs I gained at one point. It's one of those sweets you eat once and you start to crave it every single day then you realize you probably shouldn't keep indulging uncontrollably and splurging, so you stop for a little bit. Then you have it once after a long time then the cycle starts all over again. Brindles will get you hooked. Always show love to neighborhood ice cream shops that care about their ingredients and are consistently delicious.
Delicious ice cream, several unique flavors, friendly service. We tried 5 flavors during our visit.
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!
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?
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!
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.
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!
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.
