SAN ANTONIO - Want a treat to help keep you cool? In an effort to beat the heat, we decided to find the best ice cream in San Antonio. Your nominations poured in, and after adding up all the nominations and conducting extensive research (taste tests rule!), we narrowed it down to the top four…

Amy’s Ice Creams (Quarry Market)

Baskin-Robbins (Multiple Locations)

Brindles Awesome Ice Creams (11255 Huebner Rd)

Cold Stone Creamery (Multiple Locations)


We tallied up your votes, and Brindles Awesome Ice Creams was chosen as San Antonio’s favorite. It was extremely close! Just one vote was the margin that put Brindles on top. Amy’s was second.

James Whitson is the owner of Brindles. He’s also a Marine who just got back from Iraq.

“We owe this all to our voters,” said Whitson. “Thank you San Antonio! You made it happen for us.”

Brindles is know for their ever-changing, creative flavors.

“Right now we have about 320 different flavors. We sell 48 at one time,” said Whitson. “Some of our new stuff is bacon-walnut – we came out with it before Denny’s did.”

Whitson says his personal favorite is Azteca

“That is definitely really good. It’s just like Mexican hot chocolate,” said Whitson.

Brindles is located on just off I-10 on Huebner in The Strand.

geez people, Brindles is not a chain.... and all ice cream is made in house!! and over 300 flavors that is what it is all about. And not to mention its owned by a Marine Corp Vet. Its a great little place with home made ice cream and not some chain store that mass produces ice cream with who only knows what in it, or where its made. How about supporting our local shop here and if you haven't tried it, get out there and do so!! To be honest I can't believe chain stores even made it into the running. Thats like voting taco bell best taco place in san antonio, or burger king best burger. All in all lets support out local shops!!

The first time i went to Marble Slab my wife and kids had to hold me back from attacking the ice cream guy. When he threw my kids ice cream on the counter I was like "WTF DUDE?". Poor kid was trembling as he made our order. I apologized for being an idiot and tipped him.

I am an ice cream elitist. Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia flavor is the absolute best. Overall, Ben and Jerry's ice cream is the best. Marble Slab is also very good.

Blue Bell will always be the best.

Marble Slab is the absolute best! Thousands of options since they offer so many flavors and a ton of mix-ins. I gained some weight from going there so often, so now I've had to back off and only go a few times a month!

I vote for the fresh, made in the store ice cream at Schakolad Chocolate Factory, 1604 & Blanco. Very Berry Strawberry is wonderful and you can drizzle their warm chocolate on top!
