Unique flavors and strict hygiene standards set local creamery apart

SAN ANTONIO - Nestled on the boardwalk on Broadway, Black and White Modern Creamery stands out not just for its innovative ice cream flavors but also for its impeccable cleanliness.

The Creamery, owned by Vincent McCallister, has been awarded July's Blue Plate Award for maintaining a pristine and hygienic kitchen.

"We've been here for almost three years," said McCallister. "I got into this business because I wanted to do something fun and bring unique sweets to San Antonio."

Known for its quirky and delicious flavors such as honey and cornbread, Black Vanilla, Chocolate Oreo brownie, Key Lime, and Ferrero Rocher, the Creamery never fails to surprise its customers with monthly new additions. The black waffle cones, a signature item, are particularly popular for their Instagram-worthy appearance and delightful taste.

Those with dietary preferences can find something sweet as well, the establishment offers a variety of gluten-free and dairy-free options.

"We got a 100 on our health inspection. We always make sure we clean and sanitize thoroughly. We use separate scoops for all our dairy-free options and ensure our gluten-free options are made first to avoid cross-contamination," said McCallister.

The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.
