Brindles Ice Creams sits on Huebner Road in a laid-back part of northwest San Antonio, offering a genuine neighborhood spot for anyone craving artisan frozen treats. This is an ice cream shop bustling with variety and creativity, where the real draw is the house-made flavors that veer well beyond the typical vanilla and chocolate.

The atmosphere here feels approachable and casual, with friendly staff who often encourage sampling before you decide—ideal for those who like to explore new tastes without commitment. Locals tend to come for the broad range: traditional ice creams, sorbets, and gelatos, including more unusual options like pomegranate pineapple or the playful Cookies & Cream with gummy bears. The scoops are generous, so a single serving here often rivals what other places give as a double.

Brindles seems to be a popular spot for families, couples, and groups who want more than just a classic cone. The waffle cones and inventive presentations like the waffle taco add a fun twist to the experience, making it suitable for an afternoon treat or a spontaneous late-night stop. The shop stays lively later than many other dessert places, which can be a plus if you’re wandering the area hungry after hours.

They also cater well to dietary preferences with nondairy sorbet and gelato options, which broadens the appeal beyond usual ice cream parlors. The staff's willingness to recreate beloved discontinued flavors if you ask signals a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, which isn't something you find everywhere these days.

Visitors who enjoy sampling adventurous frozen desserts or those wanting a relaxed spot away from crowded chains will likely find Brindles a rewarding stop. This is a place where the focus is on flavor experimentation and a local, unpretentious vibe, making it easy to return whenever the weather calls for something sweet and cold.

Awesome place! We went there years ago and had a Muddy Feet (warm cookie dough, ice cream, fudge, and almonds). We went recently and were bummed to find they discontinued it, but the employees went above and beyond to recreate it based on an old San Antonio Express article describing it on the counter. Highly recommend!!

Went to Brindles to try something new and was not disappointed! They have so many flavors made fresh in house. They have sorbet, gelato, and ice cream! The staff was welcoming and friendly and offered many samples. It was so good my partner and I returned the next day and will be back frequently. Thank yall for good service!

Both guys working here were super quick and professional! Banana split was delicious! And plenty of nondairy options for anyone lactose intolerant.

If you are in San Antonio go see them! They make their own flavors and had a great selection! The manager and his staff were great and let us sample as many flavors as we wanted. They do full scoops so if you get the one scoop cup it’s like getting two anywhere else! I can’t say enough good check them out!

Family was out exploring and had the munchies at 10pm. We settled for ice cream but didn't have a whole lot of choices given the time. We found Brindles and was intrigued by their selection of flavors. We each ordered our choices and everything was flavorful! I had the taro on a waffle cone and it was amazingly delicious! Service was also top notch.

The staff was super helpful and let us sample so many flavors, they were all super good. He also let us try to guess a flavor and gave us a free drink for getting it right, super great and friendly personable customer service. I got one scoop of strawberry shortcake and one scoop of oatmeal cream pie, super delicious.
