Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop San Antonio

My girlfriend had been bugging me about feeding her ice cream for months. It's somewhat rare we get ice cream because we've been on a healthy binge these days. When we heard San Antonio had a Ghirardelli Ice Cream shop, we literally planned a trip out from Houston for a cheat-meal weekend! Ghirardelli is located at the Shops at Rivercenter mall by the Riverwalk (beside Hooters). They have a lot of chocolate individually wrapped scattered throughout throughout the shop, and you can also order items from their menu at the counter. We heard their Sundaes are what to come for, so we went with the Treasure Island Warm Brownie Sundae for $11.95. This consisted of vanilla ice cream, a warmed Ghirardelli half and handmade hot fudge topped with whipped cream, diced almonds, and a cherry. This was a whopping 980 calories. Talk about an ultimate cheat meal. We decided to share it to cut down on our calories. It's surprising it had so many calories as it was only a small cup that could fit in one of my hands. As I scooped a piece of warm brownie and cold vanilla ice cream in my mouth, I was forced to close my eyes and let my emotions run free. I definitely food-gasmed at that very moment. It was magical, and I'll never forget it. Go experience this once in your life at least. "I'll have what he's having." Overlooking the menu, I saw an Earthquake Family Favorite which served four people. This one was made with eight scoops of ice cream with eight toppings and banana topped with whip cream, diced almonds, Ghirardelli Mini Dark Chocolate Chips and cherries for an astounding $39.95 and 3930 calories. Wow. If I wanted to commit suicide by dessert, I would definitely order this one. At least I'd go out happy. Overall, this was a fun experience. The memories of mixing a warm Ghirardelli brownie with cold ice cream still gives me goosebumps thinking about it. Yeah, it's super pricey and could probably kill you with all its calories, but do yourself a favor, and add this place to your bucket list of desserts to try. You'll thank me later.

Place was nice, chocolates delightful..... The cashier was very respectful, professional and cordial. Didn't gave five stars, the place need more sitting, they ran out of brownies, cookies and strawberry's 🍓 and the barista/coffee maker was rude, I asked if that was my order and he didn't even turn around or direct me, the cashier did.
