Thanks for the giggle, Amy!
Beverly M.

The scoops are so large, especially after being mashed and blended, that any hope of eating out of a cone is dashed, so order your cone plus a cup. Loving the chocolate orange flavor, but I gilded the lily yesterday when I added hot fudge. I miss the funky photo booth. But I still love Amy's very very much. And the servers always brighten my day.

Mexican Vanilla with almonds and strawberries
Brooke D.

First time at Amy's and it did not disappoint! I got the classic Mexican vanilla with almonds and strawberries and it was so so yummy. It wasn't too sweet and I didn't feel gross after finishing it like I do at other places like coldstone. I wish it wasn't as pricey as it was but I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back!

Love it here! Got the Sweet Cream and I customized it with mint chocolate chips with a waffle cone. Perfect dessert within walkable distance from UT campus! They also have a parking lot.

One of my girlfriends teammates recommend that we check out Amy's ice cream while we were in Austin, and even though it probably led us being stuck in a rainstorm and our campsite flooding, it was worth it! I got a double scoop: one of the mint and one of the dark chocolate, and both were so good! This seemed like such a fun spot to come with friends for ice cream, and the service was awesome!

Delicious late night dessert! Plenty of seating in and outside. Very popular spot apparently because more and more ppl showed after us and it was about 10pm. Employees were very patient as this was our first visit and service was quick!

Mexican Vanilla + Hot Fudge & Congress Parade + Bischoff Cookies. Good, solid ice cream. This location didn't carry any wild flavors but still have great options. Cold stone used for mix-ins.

Came here on a Saturday night. It was packed. I'm so glad they stay open late. There were about 4-5 staff members working hard to serve everyone as quickly as possibly. The ice cream is pretty tasty. They have a variety of both standard and unique flavors. You have the option to mix the toppings into your ice cream. It's great they do that, but bear in mind it takes a bit longer, especially if the line is long. I ordered two flavors for my tiny sized cup. I decided not to get any toppings. Their ice cream is milky, which I like. I'd definitely come back.

Campfire Treat & Shiner

This is a grab and go kind of place. You can't really sit down and eat your ice cream. There are some benches around, but probably people are already sitting there. When I went, it was pretty busy but the line went very fast. They had two people helping out the registers. I think the ice cream I got was the campfire treat and it was delicious. I love the chocolate pieces in it and how the biscoff cookie got soft in the ice cream. My friends got the sweet cream and they said it tasted exactly how you think sweet cream would taste. Nothing too special.

All this to say, if you can't find what you want fresh from the store, CENTRAL MARKET has you covered! Aside from staying true to good values, they maintain stock of "everyday flavors" (DK CHOCOLATE/SEA SALT/OLIVE OIL, HONEY/VANILLA BEAN, COOKIES & CREAM + vegan options) while rotating some thrilling seasonal picks (HAZEL's PUMPKIN PIE, BEETS & MINT) - pick 4 on TUESDAY 20OCT with $1.50 scoops all night!

Never thought I would be a fan of Americanized ice cream (always way too sweet), but Lick proved me…read morewrong. Touché. The three of us each grabbed three flavors (F, E, D--haha, funny, right?) and rated each one with sugary zeal. Roasted Beets & Fresh Mint (F, E) - delicious, subtly minty, with a very creamy, mild beet flavor. I never had such a refreshing ice cream that wasn't sorbet. The mint really made a difference. I'm a huge fan of places that curate exotic flavors (a vegetable, really?) into their menu, which only increased my opinion of this place. Hill Country Honey & Vanilla Bean (E) - one of the smoothest vanilla bean ice creams I've had. It reminds me of a traditional ice milk soft serve. It wasn't the most impressive vanilla ice cream I've ever had, but it was still very good in its own right. Dark Chocolate, Olive Oil & Sea Salt (E, D) - such a great balance to the sweetness of the rest of the ice cream options. I always love little chunks of salt in sweets to cut through the sugary intensity, so this one was an instant favorite. GOAT Cheese, Thyme, and Honey (E, D) - a complete 100% hit. Probably my top, alongside the beets. My BFF said it tasted too much like a meal rather than a dessert and couldn't give it a high rating, but as a charcuterie fan, I know there are plenty of "dessert" cheeses. I mean... cream cheese, for example? But is that really a cheese...? Uhhh. Very Strawberry (F) - a clean strawberry flavor. A bit artificial, but still so great. It far outweighed the Sweet Cream w. Strawberry flavor we tasted later. Cookies & Cream (F) - I never liked cookies & cream before, but this changed my mind. It hits so hard when you get a full spoonful. Probably the only cookies & cream I would eat. My BFF's #1. Chocolate Chocolate (F) - love chocolate? Get this. That's all you need to know. Coffee & Cream (D) - oooh, reminds me of the keto coffee ice cream I had once. Would get again. Coffee notes are always great in ice cream. Was this a STRONG standout? No. But did it do its job? Yes. Sweet Cream w. Strawberry (D) - too creamy for me, not enough strawberry. My top flavors by far are: 1) Roasted Beets & Fresh Mint, 2) GOAT Cheese, Thyme, and Honey, and 3) Dark Chocolate, Olive Oil & Sea Salt. All three were unique flavors that I would absolutely get again. We sat on the little barstools watching the line get progressively longer as the night went on. It was really interesting to see how many people came in for a sweet treat at 11 PM. The atmosphere was pleasant, parking was pretty easy, and while it never got too crowded, the place was surprisingly popular.

Oh man, this place totally sucks. I can never understand why all those suckers are standing in line…read morewaiting for this stuff when it's basically a bootleg version of Cold Stone Creamery which went out of fashion in the 2000s It wouldn't be my first choice, but I would eat Coldstone creamery. I would NOT eat Amy's under any circumstances. To be clear, I've only been once. Ambience leaves much to be desired, but the ice cream which is the main event does not even taste good. It has about 3 to 4 times as much sugar as it actually needs. In fact, I was physically ill from eating it. Not only does the ice cream itself taste too sugary in the flavors are too cloyingly sweet, but they then want to mix in additional candies and sugar items which blows my mind. I humored them and tried an ice cream with mix ins and was greatly underwhelmed. Everyone who likes Amy's raves about the Mexican vanilla but honestly, that is also way too sweet and tastes like drinking vanilla extract. I can only surmise that there are a lot of folks with unsophisticated palates in Austin, otherwise there would not be so many positive reviews and this place would not be in business. On top of it the whole mixing thing so gimmicky and annoying it just makes the lion go way longer. Anyone who thinks this is great has not ventured out and tried anything else because they're literally 10 other ice cream places that I can think of that are actually great. Looking forward to the day that this place churns to become something else that's actually tasty because it's prime real estate.

You wait in line to place your order and…read morecan choose from a great variety of craft ice cream flavors that taste homemade, with interesting combinations and quality ingredients. I ordered two scoops on a sugar cone: Goat Cheese with Red Cherries and Brambleberry Crisp. The Goat Cheese with Red Cherries was such a fun flavor combination. The tangy goat cheese gives the ice cream a slightly savory edge, while the red cherries add a bright, fruity sweetness. Definitely a flavor that stands out from the usual ice cream lineup. The Brambleberry Crisp was my favorite of the two. It really does taste like berry pie à la mode in ice cream form. The sweet vanilla ice cream has a rich vanilla flavor, with a gorgeous berry jam swirl and brown sugar oat streusel throughout. The little hint of cinnamon in the crumble makes it taste like an actual fruit crisp that somehow got transformed into a scoop of ice cream. It was a great way to end the evening with a sweet treat!

There was a bench out front to sit at while I enjoyed my sweet treat:) ~ and that's all I have to say about that...

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.
