Amy's Ice Cream has unique flavors and a fun atmosphere. It is located in a section surrounded by other great restaurants. There's a children's playground outside and cute indoor seating. Amy's also sells cakes, pre-packed ice cream pints, various trinkets, and specialty items (like the fun looking marshmallows near the counter). I appreciated the vegan ice cream options available. I ordered a scoop of chai and tiramisu ice cream. The staff is courteous and welcoming and I cannot wait to try new flavors the next time I visit.

Last night, I came here for the millionth, gazillionth-billionth time! I tried the chocolate jalapeno ice-cream which had a rich creamy chocolate base and a freshly sliced jalapeno 'kick' to the back of the throat. Although this flavor was tasty, I had to pass as I feared for the worst...heart burn! Instead, I opted for the Kahlúa ice cream topped with almonds. A girl can't go wrong with an ice cream such as this as it's a drank and desert- score. The Kahlúa ice-cream tasted just as the named implied which was great for a late night treat after a heavy dinner. I also picked up a fun TX sized cookie with an Austin twist. I enjoy coming to Amy's as there is always a new flavor to try and it is a place that is good to take your children to, hang-out with friends at or take a date. Additionally, the staff is always super friendly.

I was really hoping to like Amy's from everything I had heard, but I was actually disappointed! I should probably note that I LOVE ice cream. I'd eat it all day everyday if I were guaranteed good health. Anyway, my point being is I'm always looking for a new ice cream shop. This location is in the Arboretum which is a really fun shopping center in North Austin. There was plenty of parking and Amy's wasn't crowded when I arrived. The ice cream itself is expensive... I ordered a small Oreo cup ($4.95) with Oreo toppings (+$1.00). I'm definitely not used to spending nearly $6 on ice cream, especially in such a small serving. The ice cream itself wasn't bad, but it wasn't any better than other shops I've tried. My favorite part of the experience actually wasn't Amy's, but rather the outdoor environment. Right outside the ice cream shop are plenty of seats, string lights, and a trail leading to an overlook. There were many couples walking around (clearly a perfect date spot!) and a few students studying. Would I return? Ehhh maybe. If I were at the Arboretum, I might stop into Amy's and grab a scoop. I probably wouldn't make a special trip.

Amy's ice cream is simple fix for my ice cream craving, I like their dark chocolate flavor best, added Oreos for extra crunches! Compared with some other ice cream shops, Amy's ice cream is more creamy and traditional style, the flavors would remind me of happy childhood.

Amy's is always delicious! You literally cannot go wrong. The flavors are super rich so a "tiny" size is the perfect amount! I also love the new cup design. Super cute!

I've been coming to various Amy's locations since I was twelve, and it's always a good time. This time, I took my twelve year old for their first time and they really enjoyed it. The energy was a little awkward upon first arrival and like any older ice cream shop, it smelled of old ice cream and sugar. But it was an otherwise clean establishment. We were greeted promptly and my child made their order. Strawberry with m&m's mixed in. Weird, but whatever. They're twelve. One of the staff started making recommendations and came to something with coconut, which falls under the tree nut family. I said "Oh that sounds great, I'm just allergic to tree nuts." The person looked confused and said "It's coconut." I nodded and replied, "Yes, still falls under the category of tree nuts." That's a little concerning that allergens aren't educated on. But I don't blame the person. I made my order, and I watched that same staff member sanitize their tools before making my ice cream. We paid, and ended up sitting inside and laughing together for a while, watching the kids outside tumble over each other for the play sets.

Ask the Community - Amy's Ice Creams

Does your ice cream have egg? I can take a lactase pill to deal with my dairy intolerance but there's nothing I can do about my egg intolerance. Thanks in advance!

Yes, with the exception of their vegan flavor, Amy's does use eggs in their ice cream.

Are there dairy free options?

Thank you for your question. Yes this store will always carry a Vegan flavor that is non dairy. Our vegan bases include coconut milk and oat milk. We also have a fruit ice which is a bit like a sorbet. Fruit Ices are not vegan but they are… Read more

The inside is a bit small, but this location has a really nice lawn and patio area where you can sit and enjoy your treat. It's the perfect place to hang out, especially on a warm day. 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 mean you can see for yourself that the ice cream sandwich looks 10 out of 10 fire. 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.

So many flavors to choose from, hope they open back up soon so I can try some more!
