Our neighbors in Oak Hill recommended this place to try, and I'm so glad we did! The nicest people serving the best ice cream (mine with espresso poured on top) and the most lovely setting, can't wait to go again!

Quality ice cream in a nice food park. The coconut ice cream is above and beyond. There's plenty of coconut meat inside. It's not too sweet. Overall a very good experience. I'll be back

Such a cool spot for a date or family trip for dessert. Games for kids, heaters on every table, and always fun music! The two owners are just the nicest people, as well!

I've been eating pastries, ice cream from this place since they are in downtown. Moving to New location made it even better and I love everything they sell. Definite 5 star experience everytime.Kid-friendliness: There is plenty of open space for kids to play and some kid friendly items like slide.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible from parking to order and tables.

I am new to Austin and am lucky enough to live a stone's throw away from Manolis. We have gone 5 times since moving so it's finally time for a review! Manolis is genuinely my favorite spot in Austin. First, they have a wonderful variety of sweet treats. From ice cream (dairy and non dairy), to pastries, sorbets, milkshakes, and coffee, there is truly something for everyone. Everything we have ordered has been absolutely delicious. Second is the service. There are few places I have been where I feel more welcome than Manolis. They are passionate about what they serve and make every person who comes through feel like a regular. The owners are genuinely some of the kindest people I have had the pleasure of meeting in Austin and they deserve business. Third is the location! Can be tough to get around the 290 construction but Manolis is worth every minute of your time. The complex has covered picnics tables, heaters, games, and a playground. It's cozy, charming, and a great place to sit on a beautiful night. If you are on the southwest side, GO TO MANOLIS. If you live in Central Texas, GO TO MANOLIS. Heck, if you live in Oklahoma, it's worth the trip. They are open Friday-Sunday and I look forward to their tasty treats all week. I will support this business for as long as I live here!

We went this past Friday on a whim but Manolis had been on my list of restaurants/food places to check out for a while. It's located way down south and we live way up north so it was such a drive especially when there is so much construction going on in the area. LOCATION/AMBIANCE: This dessert food truck with Italian flair has a huge outdoor space with so many picnic tables, a play scape/kid area, and it's also dog friendly. I really like that they decorated their outdoor space with string lights which makes it more whimsical at night. We didn't dress appropriately that night (thanks to Texas temperamental weather), but luckily they have commercial heaters everywhere, even under the umbrellas at some of the tables. I have to give them a big round of applause for that They also have men & women bathrooms (3 stalls in women's) which is really nice. By the way, there are other food trucks behind Manolis's premise as well so you get to check out other food in one location. SERVICE: The owners are very friendly, and their service was fast and efficient. FOOD/DESSERTS: We ordered a lot so that it would make it a worthwhile trip. - ESPRESSO, and MACCHIATO. A MUST!!! I love the fact that he asked us if we like sugar in our drinks, and if so we want light, medium or regular sweet. I wouldn't expect that at all from a dessert food truck like this, this's a plus for me!! THEIR COFFEES are one of the BEST COFFEES I ever had - the strength was solid but the smoothness though was legendary Mamma Mia The only regret was I should have asked what beans they use We also ordered both of their pastries of the week. - CROCANTINO (chocolate sponge cake & chocolate mousse with almond & chocolate shell) - it was not bad, and I really like the chocolate mousse. - FRAGOLA (vanilla sponge cake & mousse with strawberry filling) - it was okay; the cake itself was dry hadn't there were filling or mousse and we didn't taste the strawberry filling at all. - SALTED CARAMEL ICE CREAM - it was creamy & delicious with a hint of salted caramel. - RUM RAISIN ICE CREAM - it was also delicious but the flavor profile was so subtle. All in all, if you haven't tried this place, I would highly recommend it. This's a place for the whole family can enjoy the desserts and outdoors (day or night) together.

The ice cream is soooo good. I can't describe how delicious it is. And the people are so friendly! We come here alot and are never disappointed by the service and the food! Highly recommend!!
I recently visited this ice cream food truck, and I was amazed by its spaciousness and inviting atmosphere. The addition of board games and a heated room during winter made it a cozy spot to enjoy ice cream. I opted for the mango and soursop flavors wrapped in a waffle, and they did not disappoint - fresh and delicious! The customer service was outstanding, and with a wide variety of options made from fresh fruits sourced from Colombia, there's something for everyone to enjoy. They also have a big parking lot. Highly recommended for a delightful ice cream experience!Parking: Open parking and it’s a big lot shared by other food trucks!

Best place in Austin to go for ice cream...pastries and shakes. We like everything here...the place itself has a great ambiance and offers something for everyone. Well thought setting for both summer and winters. I like everything about this place, and the owners are really nice people to talk to.

Great treat stop! Plenty of space to enjoy a treat on a nice sunny day. Home made ice cream, sorbet, and lots of other tasty selections.
