“The dark chocolate is dark magic. I'm not sure what they do to get the consistency to an almost marshmallow type feel, but damn...I would get that again, and again, and again... The guys serving were also pretty cool - great crew that day. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it, and then bring a franchise to Las Vegas, we eat ice cream all year.“

“Connor's Creamery - I'm sorry this review comes so late. Connor's made my ice cream wish on my 51st birthday great! Great folks, great ice cream, great memories!“

“Hmmm, where do I start?Ok, service sucks unless you're a guy. They're all females working there and if you as a customer are female, the attitude and actions toward you are that your existence bothers them. In other words, don't expect good customer service.Food though!? Es pura chuchería (nothing but junk food) y está delicioso!!!!! ?? (And it's freaking delicious)They have a Gansito paleta that I requested be dunked in chocolate and coconut, and an older lady was cool about making it for us! Notice that I emphasized, older lady. LolMangonadas are the freaking bomb! They add mango chunks on top, fresh cut mango chunks! Fresas con crema are OK but you DO get tons of ?, tons. Go ✔️ it out, it's worth it.“

“RUN DONT WALK YALL STRAIGHT TO THE CHOCOLATE AND THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!! I am personally a 5 star chef and a food connoisseur. I travelled to world 3 times already in pursuit of some of the most amazing ingredients to create magic in my kitchen with . Most of the chocolate I source is from Geneva Switzerland and let me tell you that I’ve never Ben more amaze with a chocolate in life . Especially it being state side . If you ever do anything else is you life please buy yourself the white chocolate sesame bar . The mix is Incredible only a genius could have came up with such mix . It’s been the most inspiring thing for a chefs palette . And the chocolate chip cookies will transport you . The moment you take a bite you will feel like you’ve just walked into a dream . The customer service there is top notch . The owner heard I had drove from new Braunfels and did not get the cookies I needed she sent me a $45 gift card . Everything about this place is a 5 star do yourself a favor ans stop at their Austin location for chocolate and cookies and the other location for chocolate and gelato it’s all a dream “

“Came here on vacation from Houston, it was well worth the drive! We did have to park in a garage and pay $9 for parking but still worth it. We both had ice cream sandwiches.

“We visiting this location of Jeni’s on a trip to Austin, the ice cream was great. A lot of new unique seasonal flavors.

They had a poster for crispy chilli oil on ice cream… it was a limited time thing.. so we gave it a try and surprisingly wow! It’s seriously a game changer! The staff was very friendly.

The shop was was very spacious and a lot of seats available

Kid-friendliness: The kids had a blast. Wish the kids cones would be a bit cheaper though.“

“I’d recommend trying….all of it! It’s all delicious!“

“Dolce Bacio Gelato was the perfect choice for dessert at our wedding! We're not big on cake and wanted something unique, and they delivered an incredible experience. The flavor selection was amazing, and the adorable bicycle cart setup added such a fun, charming touch—our wedding photos turned out fantastic with it! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious the gelato was. I (bride) loved the "Raspberry Cookie" flavor, and the groom’s "Nutella" choice was equally divine. We were thrilled to offer vegan and gluten-free options, ensuring everyone could enjoy the treat. Plus, serving in cones or cups gave guests flexibility. Working with Stef was a breeze—she was so easy to communicate with and completely reliable. Dolce Bacio Gelato made our wedding dessert both memorable and delicious. Highly recommend them for any event!“

“Very delicious ice cream with yummy flavors!! It’s a bit pricey but it’s worth treating yourself to some fantastic ice cream! You deserve it!! Service was quick and professional, didn’t get any smiles but they were very busy. I love that everything from the ice cream bowl, napkins and spoons are compostable!!“

“Very tasty gelato, lots of young kids some of them may have been drunk and high, but oh well it is what it is, College town ?? but the gelato was delicious and the service was excellent and prices were very fair! The guy working the counter had a very pleasant smile!! highly recommended!!“

“Amy's catered an ice cream bar for my daughters wedding and it was AMAZING!! With such a large selection of ice cream and toppings to pick from, our guests were in sugar heaven. Thank you for making the day so sweet!!“

“The COACH Coffee Shop is a nice spot to grab some brand affiliated treats and get quality and aesthetic photos to post online. Although the spot was pretty small, I was impressed by the variety of options they had and how wide their menu was. I got myself the tabby cake and fresh lemonade that had lavender in it. Honestly, the food and drink wasn't that good and I found the lemonade to be extremely sour for my tastebuds. Do I recommend you go here for the food? No. But you can definitely brag about it to all of your friends and take nice photos to share. My total came out to $20 including tip. The workers didn't look like they were that excited to be there but it was the middle of summer and they are valid 😭 I showed up on a Monday and the shop itself was a lot busier than expected!“

“So delicious and so many different flavors.
Perfect on hot sunny day for family to enjoy ice cream!!
Great location and Great Service!!
Would like even more if opened later. Please do not close and stay open, we like it so much.
Our family and friends are there every week!!!
