About Us

Ice Cream and Chocolate by the River LLC isn’t just a shop; it’s a San Antonio tradition! Founded in 2002, we’ve been a family-owned and operated business for over 20 years, serving up scoops of happiness and assorted sweets to locals and visitors alike.

Our Story

The story began with our family’s passion for creating delicious treats and sharing the joy they bring. We envisioned a place where people could escape the everyday and indulge in unforgettable dessert experiences. Nestled on the iconic San Antonio Riverwalk (Paseo de Alamo), our shop has become a haven for sweet memories and smiles.

Over the years, we’ve grown and evolved, but our core values remain unchanged. We’re passionate about using high-quality ingredients to craft our ice cream and chocolates, ensuring every bite is a burst of flavor. But our commitment goes beyond taste. We strive to provide exceptional customer service, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. Whether you’re a local resident reminiscing with friends or a tourist exploring the Riverwalk, we want your visit to be delightful.

So join us and experience the magic for yourself! Sample our handcrafted ice cream, explore our gourmet chocolates, and discover the joy that a scoop of happiness can bring. We look forward to welcoming you to the Ice Cream and Chocolate by the River family!
