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.
One of the best desserts I've ever had. It was so good I don't even remember the name of it. Cookies and cream I've cream, chocolate chip cookie chunks, fudge, whipped cream, and chocolate squares, all in a chocolate dipped waffle bowl. Definitely a dessert you want to share with someone, I couldn't finish the whole thing. Workers were very friendly and the place was very clean. Highly recommend. They also have lots of packaged chocolates you can buy.
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.
Tried treasure island, one of the best desert option at Ghirardelli. So delicious and awesome with a different flavor at every scoop you have. The classic hot chocolate was awesome. You can also try there chocolates and mix and match accordingly to your preference.
I walked in randomly and was greeted by a lady that smiled at me welcomed me then gave me chocolate. I was impressed. I had no clue what I was doing the staff helped me out. The classic sundae I got was good. I was expecting super teeth melting sugary sweetness but was pleasantly surprised by restraint sugar and the wonderful flavors.
Cookie blast sundae. $13. Ice cream sundae was really good, but not $13 good. Has Ghirardelli chocolates you don't usually find in the stores. Well kept store. Good service. Over priced in my opinion.
Best Chocolate Shake ever!!!! Shop was immaculate, Sales lady and Ice cream server were super nice and friendly, but the Chocolate was the $#!+!!!!! So dang GGOOOOOOOODDD!!!!! Tasted like Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream, so rich...❤️❤️❤️❤️ Will definitely be stopping in next time I visit.
The Crissy Field Cookie Bits Sundae in waffle
Bowl is such a delight. I absolutely love their chocolate!
Hot fudge sundae + vanilla & cookies n cream ice cream scoops with an extra brownie! Brownie was delish (especially warmed), but ice cream was mediocre, unfortunately. Definitely had better. We used this coupon for a free brownie - enjoy!! 😊
If only you could taste this from the picture- the picture does not do it justice! SOOO good you will definitely have too much sugar but it is well worth it. Absolutely recommend waiting for this amazing dessert!
