    Solid ice cream fair price for a large scoop. Nice area to walk around and ride stone cows nearby. The ice cream names are kind of confusing where you will ask many questions on what each one contains..... or just choose one that sounds simple, like oreo

    Amy's Ice Cream is an institution in Austin. It is a must-try if you're visiting Austin. Even people who do not live in Austin have asked me about Amy's ice cream. I used to frequent Amy's often until I started trying to maintain a more healthy lifestyle. I do allow myself a treat every once in a while. I grabbed a scoop of Mexican Vanilla, one of their premiere flavors. I remember it having a very unique taste. The ice cream today was good not great. The decor is very bright and children friendly. At the time I visited, I was the only one in the ice cream shop although there a few folks outside. The ice cream shop is very inviting and fun. The server was nice and friendly. Next time will have to try a new flavor.

    Lots of options and great service. This little location is tucked away in a plaza. I told them we were from out of town and this was our first time trying Amy's. The staff was very nice and informative. They were also really knowledgable and helped me choose my selection. They also hooked it up because we were new. I ended up getting their vegan vanilla with some toppings mixed in. It was pretty good and I liked that their ice cream wasn't too sweet. I liked that I can make my own creation. Even though the shop is small they have tables inside for you to enjoy your treat. There was also seating outside as well.

    This is my second time coming to this ice cream shop and it's always delicious! I tried a new flavor campfire and it was so good ! Nice s'more flavor. Service was great! And the shop is cute with a little library in the front. I'll be back next trip

    Best customer service I've ever had!!!

    Best customer service I've ever had!!! These employees were so sweet from the second I stepped in by welcoming us and offering samples for any flavor we wanted to try out. If you ever visit, I know 100% these girls will enhance your experience!! If I remember correctly their names were Tazin, Sofia, and Amity.Truly the service was amazing and the ice cream was very delicious. I ordered an Oreo Ice cream topped with strawberries and Oreo crumbs and my boyfriend ordered the Mexican Vanilla topped with pecan. Besides the service, the location is kept tidy and well maintained. I recommend coming in for a sweet treat and I'm sure that these girls will bring a smile to your face. They gave the best customer service and I will for sure be returning!! Keep up the great work!

    Was walking down the street on my Muriel hunt and saw Amy's ice cream the shop looks cool with all the art drawn on it and the unique flavor choices. I ended up getting the Texas dirt cake , it's thick ice cream but it's perfect for a hot Austin Texas day . The girl at the front was nice and fast my luck it wasn't busy at the time even though I'm sure it can get busy on hotter days .

    Good ice cream here.

    This shop is located in a mall. Lots of free parking in the lot. No seating inside but there are a few tables on the outdoor patio. The little shop is cute and the ice cream is high quality. The flavors offered are unique and not just your normal ones. You can get candies and other treats mixed into your ice cream and you can get toppings, too. The employees were friendly and you can also get samples,. Good stuff.

    I love Amy's ice cream. Today I got the vegan Mexican vanilla bean. Topped with butterfingers candy bar. Service was very friendly. Andye was very nice, and served me my ice cream. The other Andy, haha, they're both named Andy, I had to ask them to spell it for me so I could get the 2 of them in my review. I think they said there are other Andy's that work their too. My Andye was very nice and the other Andy that waited on my friend was nice too. Ice cream is smooth and creamy, taste just like regular vanilla, doesn't have any odd vegan taste to it. That's why I like it. No weird after taste. We took our treats outside to the park below. Say I'm the shade with a little breeze. Was very enjoyable. Thank you for such a delicious treat.

    Awesome awesome ice cream. And equally awesome service. Ordered a pint of the Belgian chocolate with strawberries crush-in! He took his time to do it right - and also had plenty left over , which he packed separately. Super friendly; super good ice cream. Of course, winter is the best time to eat ice cream ;)

    First time coming here, and Caleb and Sophia gave me phenomenal Customer service! They explained all of the different flavors and allowed us to try it. The ice cream is just top-notch delicious, def coming back on my next visit to Austin.

    This was my first visit to Amy's , and thanks to their "buy 10, get a free t-shirt" punchcard, I will for sure be back, LOL! I love the unique flavor options that are available across all their locations, and that ample vegan options are available too. This location is perfect because you can grab your ice cream and enjoy it among nature thanks to the Arboretum and overlook being right next door! I ended up getting two scoops with chocolate sauce, with one of the scoops being key lime pie flavor. I wish I could remember what the other flavor was, but I'm blanking out! I'm excited to check out the other locations in Austin (they are also in Houston and San Antonio!) and eventually get my Amy's t-shirt!!

    Rachel is the absolute sweetest and Quinn and Shane are the absolute best! Such a fantastic place will be back soon!

    Stopped in for some ice cream - never disappointed with Amy's! I did sample the Butter Beer flavor and the Blood Orange, but ultimately decided to get a mix of the Mexican Vanilla (my all time favorite!) with the Butter Beer plus gummy bears! I almost always get Mexican Vanilla with gummy bears, but I really liked the Butter Beer and felt it would complement the other flavors as well. It was exactly what I wanted, and a perfect treat for a hot day! Amy's is an Austin classic - best ice cream in town and I'll always be a fan! This location has plenty of parking and while seating inside is a bit more limited, there is outside seating available as well. Employees are friendly and very sweet - always a treat to grab an ice cream here! The application process to work here apparently requires a decorated paper bag, and I just want to give a shout-out to Jess for having the coolest paper bag! I love sharks and it's so fun to get to see everyone's favorite things through this.

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!
