San Antonio cools down with sweet deals on National Ice Cream Day. According to KSAT, a number of ice cream parlors are rolling out specials today. Burger King is offering a free soft-serve cup or cone to Royal Perk members with at least a $1 purchase.
For a more local flavor, The Pearl is throwing an ice cream bonanza from 1-4 p.m., featuring ice cream and paleta cart vendors like Wonder Slice, Pullman Market, and Lick, each serving up promotions and one-of-a-kind flavors. At least 16-ounce Sonic Shakes have also joined Sonic Drive-in's $1.99 menu, tempting taste buds with 12 flavors including Oreo cheesecake, strawberry, and chocolate.
But deals aren't confined to one day. Cold Stone Creamery's Club Rewards members can text 'FLOAT24' to 'LOVEIT', scoring a $5 off $10 purchase coupon valid for seven days, starting July 17 and ending the 23rd, as Express News has found. Marble Slab Creamery sweetens the entire month, cutting $5 off its legendary Ice Cream Cakes online with the code 'CAKE24'.
Meanwhile, at Dairy Queen, keeping cool is as simple as tapping an app. Fans can nab a free Dilly Bar — vanilla ice cream sheathed in chocolate — with any in-app purchase on the day, as stated by Express News. Not to be outdone, Baskin Robbins app users will be delighted by a $5 discount on orders over $20, redeemable using the code 'SEIZETHEYAY' through July 27.
Amid these sweet savings, El Paraiso doesn't wait for a special day to offer a deal, boasting a standing offer of 10 paletas for under $10. While National Ice Cream Day may spotlight the frozen treat, San Antonio's ice cream shops remind us that any hot summer day is perfect for a cold confection.
