The Meadows Original Frozen Custard Helotes

An interesting place with Italian ice cream, custard and regular ice cream with interesting options. Also people can play board games or sit outside.

I wanted so badly to like this place after reading the great reviews. Unfortunately, the staff member we asked a question to was very rude and acted like I was dumb (for asking for no caramel on my custard nachos). We got our ice cream right away, and it was nothing spectacular. My daughter did like her chocolate sundae and custard nachos were good. My husband got a strawberry banana smoothie and it was horrible, the consistency was not good, it was essentially fully melted ice cream. And the giant pretzel was not good. Super disappointed.
It was cool there was an outside place for the kiddos to run around, but it belongs to the whole business complex.

Our very first visit was great! My kids enjoyed their ice cream and Italian ice. We just so happened to show up on Bingo night! I was the winner in the first game. The staff was also awesome bringing our ice cream out to the table. It means a lot to a mom who always has her hands full. I love that they have books and games on the shelf to use for customers. The only complaint on my end was the chocolate custard was too mild. I love cocoa and chocolate, I could barely taste the chocolate in it. We will be back to try more flavors

Almost pased. Had to make a U to come back. But so worth it. Wow. Love this.

Absolutely loved my chocolate custard it wasn’t overly sweet just perfect and it was super smooth! My wife wasn’t a fan of her first specialty flavor so she ended up getting vanilla with m&ms it was like having an upgraded McFlurry!! Only thing we didn’t like was how confusing the menu was it’s kind of a lot and scattered but the place was super clean and very polite staff. Would highly recommend and definitely plan on coming back.

Millie was amazing! The Sand Shark and the Watermelon Gelato were both incredible!

I LOVE THE MEADOWS ICE CREAM, this is now my go to for a sweet treat. I definitely re this place over any other franchises as their family owned and have an awesome environment and they even hand made their seating which is awesome!

This place is awesome! We love trying the daily flavors and collecting their monthly calendars to choose when to go on our favorite days! Classic vanilla is good too, it’s so smooth and creamy. Love their peanut butter sauce, also!

We LOVE the daily flavors! There’s enough variety to keep us coming back to try new ones, and we always see new ones we love to try on their monthly calendar. Classic vanilla is great, but if you’re feeling adventurous you can dress any of their servings up with sauces, toppings or mix ins which are fresh and delicious. Can’t get enough of their drumstick flavor!

Banana spilt is amazingly good. The 32oz is definitely made for at two to three people.

If you haven’t tried The Meadows this is a sign to go try them now!!! Everything I’ve tried here is good from the custard, the Italian ice, daily specials, and especially the pints and quarts to take home! I have used their desserts for multiple events and they are always the star of the show! I even have a catering this afternoon, texted my order, and they’re having it ready for me asap (and made the process simple and easy!) Did I mention it’s a family run store? The sweetest and nicest people + the best dessert = a place to support!
