      Our first visit was GREAT. Three Dairy free flavor options. With the coconut, they can make pretty much any fruit milkshake AND they have multiple dairy free chocolate sauces. The literal cherry on top was the dairy free whipped cream. If you can imagine a topping for your fro-yo or ice cream, they have it.
      Very clean and color changing spoons, happy mom, happy kid.

      Such a fun vibe with the apes. Lots games for all ages available if you're looking to hang out. Trivia on every table. You can tell these people really love their customers and community. It was refreshing to have a chat with them and have options that other places just don't offer! We will be back very soon!

      This place has truly fallen off. I've visited this place a few times before writing this review and realized that this place is not what it used to be.

      My child wanted strawberry ice cream. They didn't have it so the worker offered to make it. The worker grossly filled the cup up without considering the amount of ice cream or my budget.

      The ice cream was slop!

      I used to come here very often. I believe the older guy sold this place and it's been downhill ever since.

      Tried this new place with the family. The kids loved it. Lots of options but would suggest offering more sugar-free ice cream flavors as well as toppings. We had fun and the place is cute.

      Love the flavors and the options for toppings! They have more options for non dairy which I really appreciate. I wish they had some more fruit options but otherwise the customer service was great and the inside was clean.

      The girl at the front told us how it works and was very detailed and helpful.

      This place was AWESOME! we've never even heard of it but went out of no where and wow I'm so impressed. The amount of stuff they can make it crazy. A lady helped us right when we walked in and showed us the whole store and explained everything. Then helped the guy behind us because he had a huge order for a bunch of people. She was great! The froyo was very tasty too! Tonnnnssss of toppings and different ways to make it. We will absolutely be back. It was $25 for the two of us to have the 16 oz cups!

      What an awesome fro-yo place! When we entered the shop, we were greeted almost immediately by a man who spoke with the same eager kindness as Kenneth from 30 Rock. If we had questions, he was ready for them! If you're new to independent fro-yo shops, the selections could feel overwhelming, and you could mix things that clash. I'm a pro, and I'm comfortable with my classic choices. If you're unsure, pick safe options so you can enjoy your desserts. The good news is, you can't go too wrong with selections - just don't let your cereal get soggy. Otherwise, sit back, say hi to the ape, and if you have the time, enjoy a round of Trivial Pursuit.

      A little of this and a little of that!

      Friendly staff with a fun atmosphere. Oh and Wednesdays are $5 bowling days, meaning they don't charge you by the weight.

      This place was AMAZING! I love that they have ice cream in addition to the yogurt options. I added so many toppings and it was still so affordable. The cashier was so kind and helpful, They have trivia games, board games, so it's a fun experience. I think I'll be coming back to make my own mangonada with whatever I want on it! I super recommend everyone comes here!

      As soon as you walk in your eyes will be delighted with the colorful Knick knacks all around! It looks like an Arctic cave that is super cool. Even on the ceiling you can see Icicles.

      We were greeted right away by a staff member that asked if we had been there before. When we replied no, she instantly went into explaining all the different topics and selections available. She told us there was Italian ice, gelato and regular ice cream.

      She explained the price is by weight rather than size of cup. And then showed us the cups we could use to make drinks out of our creations.

      The only two things I didn't like. Was that there were no samples available for the ice creams. They said it was due to Covid but I've been to other ice cream shops here in San Antonio and both had samples available. The second thing I didn't like was the cashier rushed our group to pay and I wasn't ready making my selection so I ended up very plain.

      Other than that the quality of ice cream is good. I had the gelato and it wasn't the most authentic but definitely edible and a nice snack.
