    First time to Amy's Ice Cream and I love the flavors here! I got a small which I wish I would have gotten a tiny because they are the same size with different pricing. My family got the tiny and I got the small, I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the two. I got the ube cheesecake and the campfire with health bar on mine. Both flavors were really good, smooth and not overly sweet. You can get it in a cup or a waffle cone. There is seating in the inside and outside. Next door sharing a wall inside the establishment looks like you can order food and fries. We did not try the neighboring business but it looked like dinners food. Burgers, fries, chicken tenders, and etc. Would I recommend Amy's ice cream yes staff is friendly and lets you try different ice cream before selecting.

    Soooooo, I've never been to Austin (or TX) before this trip & I LOOOOOOVE ice cream so of course, we happen to stumble upon this place because the Giant Amy's Ice Cream on the roof was calling my name, iykyk. The parking lot was full & it was a full house but there was no one in line (YAY!) We were able to try some flavors before ordering, I tried the Cold Pressed Vanilla & it was good but it didn't quite tickle my pickle. The person behind the counter suggested that Mexican Vanilla was their top seller so I tried that &&&&&&& MAN OH MAN, soooooooo yums! So I got a a scoop of Mexican Vanilla & topped it off with my signature rainbow sprinkles (if it's ice cream, that's my go-to topper - no matter what!). I think if you top Mexican Vanilla with anything, you cannot go wrong! Maybe it's because I can't have it whenever I want it but Austin-peeps are lucky to have all the Amy's Ice Cream. I guess this is how other states feel (besides CA and OR) when they can't have In n Out whenever they please. That womps! If you're visiting Austin - be sure to stop by & grab yourself a scoop of the good stuff!

    Hummmm so I didn't have the burger flavored ice cream, while I do put cheese on my ice cream to pretend it's a burger, I went with the burger. Could use more toppings as this is a backyard burger trying to be a gourmet burger. Fry's are the semi wedge style, while this works they are trying to be regular fry's which leaves them more like potatoes. My recommendation is to work on the fry's and make these unique and more style on the burger while keeping it simple, maybe like a relish? My last stop was in 12/24 so maybe I'll have to go back and re review

    I mean...Barbie ice cream with pink glitter?? Does it get any better? Not sure a review needs much more than pink glitter and ice cream, but just in case, here it goes! The ice cream was delicious; I can definitely see why Amy's comes so highly recommended as a locals favorite. The only issue I had was the layout of the restaurant. It was so tiny and once the line got crazy, you could barely move around! Plus parking was a nightmare. But all good things come at a cost, including delicious ice cream!

    In town visiting the area for my wife's birthday... Had to stop by this phenomenal ice cream spot! The staff makes the experience super awesome...the ice cream makes the experience awesome!!! Wow the place had some decadent ice cream. I had the Mexican vanilla with a crush in of gummy bears and waffle cone. I had a tiny size which was just what I was craving. I wanted to take a pint to-go however I wasn't heading back to the hotel. The friendly staff offered up samples and explained what was in each flavor I inquired about. If you get to Austin, Texas or wherever else Amy's Ice is offered...you definitely eat it. You can thank me later. I was very pleased with the atmosphere and the service. The product has me wanting to visit more often. Thank you for the hospitality! Put a location in OKC!? Respectfully, Bryan

    Amy's is an Austin establishment for a reason: they make damn good ice cream, period. Of course, there's more to it than that, though. They hire amazingly kind people that really make every scoop feel like a special occasion worth celebrating. I decided to treat myself on this gloomy, rainy day, and they completely brightened my mood. Sure, the sugar helped, but there's a lot to be said for positive human interaction. I'm just starting to get used to that again. Though there's typically only one vegan favor at a time, either chocolate or vanilla, they knock it out of the park. 10/10 for their chocolate oat milk, which no one would even guess was dairy free from the rich, fudge flavor or perfectly smooth and creamy texture. Big plus is the play ground on site for this location. I would totally get my 30+-year old butt out on the monkey bars, though I'm afraid I might scare the kids.

    A great dessert option for those of you who, like me, LOVE ice cream!! The flavors they have constantly rotate so you never know what you're going to get. They have some usual flavors and can make mixes for you too. Love the vibe and the service always friendly!

    I talked with my son yesterday, and the conversation rolled around to some of the restaurants he and I have eaten at in Austin and how I missed the food there. When we got to Amy's Ice Cream, he reminded me that it was the one on Lamar Street that he first introduced me to. I would therefore be remiss if I didn't review this particular Amy's Ice Cream located at 2901 S. Lamar St. that made me a fan for life of Amy's with their Mexican Vanilla ice cream. After eating at Loro's up the street, I offered to take my son and his girlfriend out for some ice cream after dinner. I'm pretty much of a desert freak when I go out for a meal. Not being from these parts, they recommended Amy's a short drive down the street on Lamar. When we pulled into this old-looking, non-descript corner ice cream store, I was intrigued. It was a large store, with an expansive outside sitting area and parking lot, but the counter where the ice cream was sold was tiny. No more than one customer at a time could be served. The limited menu was handwritten on a chalkboard behind the counter and had unfamiliar sounding names (flavors). So I asked the friendly counter person for a recommendation, and she offered up the Mexican Vanilla as her choice. I'm more of a chocolate guy myself, but I accepted her selection, and boy, was I surprised. This was by far the best tasting ice cream I've ever had. With no toppings, this flavor blew my tastebuds to the top of my head. Since that day, I've been to a few other Amy's around Austin, all terrific, but this one sticks in my head for the initial introduction to their sensational ice cream. I can't ever go to Austin without a least one or two visits to Amy's.

Pro tip: choose two different cookies so you can try more than one flavor, and always get your sandwich warmed up. It takes it to a whole new level. Such a unique and delicious stop in Austin.

I did the custom ice cream sandwich with vanilla ice cream two different cookies- one was the gooey butter cake (overpowering after a few bites) did not finish & the other was like a oreo & cookie mix (much better) and did finish. Vanilla ice cream was decent, but nothing special. I might get it again if I was in the area and really had a sweet tooth, but I would definitely go for some different flavors because they just didn't hit the same this time.

A milestone. A monument. A celebration of a man whose legend looms over Austin like a slightly tipsy bat. Nate Gardog & Co bravely ordered what was advertised as an Oreo cake meant to serve 4-5 humans. What arrived, however, was not a cake. It was not even a mini-cake. It was... a cupcake wearing platform shoes. A baked good masquerading as something it clearly was not. The bag was on us, literally and spiritually. Shane--who, need I remind you, is an Austin icon, a man whose culinary preferences are practically carved into the walls of Barton Springs--was forced to confront this fraudulent pastry. And let me tell you: no man deserves this. Not at 38. Not ever. If the staff at Amy's were the true clairvoyants we believed them to be, they would have inherently known Shane's one, true, universal flavor: Funfetti. Classic. Chaotic. Confetti for the soul. Yet here we stood. Funfetti-less. Candle-less. Hope-less. As the final insult, there were no candles. Not even a sad, melted tea light from the back. Nothing to blow out except disappointment. In conclusion: the vibes were off, the cake was tiny, and Shane--our dear, beloved Shane--deserved better.

Located on 6th Street, Jim Jim's is surprisingly accessible with parking spots available out front and just around the corner. It's not a sitdown place so keep that in mind for your stop, but the line does move fast and they are very efficient. There's a good variety of flavors and things they serve from italian ice to ice cream and shakes. We opted for a strawberry italian ice with condensed milk on top. From the first bite we were in heaven. The flavor is very thorough which is not always the case for Italian ices where it can sometimes be a bit muted. Every single bite of this was packed with flavor. They also carve out a bit of the middle to put the condensed milk which makes every bite much more equal than if it was just placed at the top. This was by far one of, if not the best, Italian ices we've ever had. We would very much recommend it to anyone in the Downtown area looking to cool off.
