Cone N Swirl San Antonio storefront plans mark a new chapter for a local dessert business that began serving from a mobile trailer in 2024. Founders Gilbert and Kristina Torres are preparing a permanent home for their chimney cones and blended ice cream at Braun Pointe.
Newly registered construction records identify a $175,000 interior renovation covering approximately 1,452 square feet. The project adds construction details to the storefront expansion the company announced in August 2026.
From a Food Trailer to a Permanent Storefront
The owners’ business profile dates Cone N’ Swirl’s launch to August 2024. It identifies Gilbert and Kristina Torres as the owners and describes the company as veteran-, minority- and woman-owned.
Since then, the trailer has given customers a way to discover a dessert built around a freshly baked pastry cone. The mobile format also lets the business serve events and reach customers beyond one neighborhood.
In its August 28, 2026 announcement, the company confirmed plans for its first permanent shop at Braun Pointe. It also said the trailer would continue operating.
A fixed address would make visits easier to plan while the trailer preserves the flexibility that helped introduce the business. The storefront represents an expansion of that model, rather than an announced end to mobile service.
What Makes Cone N’ Swirl Different?
The signature attraction at Cone N’ Swirl is a Hungarian-inspired chimney cone paired with blended ice cream. The pastry becomes part of the dessert instead of simply holding it.
The Cone N Swirl San Antonio dessert concept starts with scooped ice cream and blends it with selected ingredients. Customers can choose fruit, cookies, nuts or coffee, then personalize the result with fillings, coatings and drizzles. Cups offer an option without the pastry.
The business profile lists both a complete cone-and-ice-cream dessert and a cone-only option. That gives the baked pastry a role of its own, while customers who want the full creation can combine it with their chosen ice cream blend.
The Inspiration Behind the Dessert
According to the company’s announcement, the Torreses first saw chimney cones on television. They traveled to Houston to try the dessert, then spent about two months developing recipes with feedback from friends and neighbors.
That origin helps explain the emphasis on choice. Customers can approach an unfamiliar pastry through familiar flavors, then adjust the combination to their taste.
A New Home for Cone N Swirl San Antonio
The planned shop occupies 9910 West Loop 1604 North, Suite 104, San Antonio, TX 78254, near Braun Road and Amelia Pass. The company calls the center Braun Pointe; the state filing identifies it as Braun Point.
The supplied site plan places Suite 104 toward the eastern end of the retail strip. It also depicts Starbucks, Soarion Credit Union and other businesses around the center. These labels provide geographic context rather than a verified current tenant directory.
There is a small area discrepancy: the site plan labels Suite 104 at 1,425 square feet, while the state filing lists a 1,452-square-foot renovation. The available documents do not explain the difference. This article uses the filing’s figure for the construction scope.
The plan does not establish the dessert shop’s final interior layout, seating or storefront appearance. Its value for customers is showing where the future shop fits within the commercial center.
What the $175,000 Construction Filing Reveals
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation record, TABS2027002918, describes an interior renovation. It names Jastco Ltd. as property owner and Villa Park, part of KP+J, as the design firm.
The filed Cone N Swirl San Antonio construction schedule runs from November 2, 2026, through February 8, 2027. The $175,000 figure is an estimated construction cost, not a measure of the company’s total investment.
The company had already reported storefront work underway in August. The records do not explain how that work relates to the later filed schedule, so the dates do not establish an opening delay.
Another Addition to San Antonio’s Dessert Scene
TCM has also covered Crispy Cones’ planned Northwoods location. That separate, Shark Tank-backed concept also centers on pastry cones and ice cream.
Cone N’ Swirl and Crispy Cones are separate businesses. Their projects offer two distinct stories within the local specialty-dessert scene; the available information does not establish which storefront will open first.
When Will Cone N’ Swirl Open?
A confirmed opening date for the Cone N Swirl San Antonio storefront remains unavailable. The February 8 date is a construction-completion estimate, not a promised first day of service.
Customers can check the company’s official website for mobile appearances and future storefront updates. For the Torreses, Braun Pointe offers the next step from a traveling dessert business toward a consistent neighborhood destination.
Texas Construction Media will continue following the project as additional details become available.
