Came in for dessert on a Monday at noon. Food 5/5: I got the Belgian chocolate shake with banana and cookie dough blended in and my friend got the Mexican vanilla shake with banana and praline blended in. Both were amazing and had me craving more Ambiance 3/5: fairly average dessert shop ambiance, maybe a little dingy Service 4/5: quick, polite, friendly, Value 3/5: 8 dollars for a small shake, seems a bit pricy to me but given the quality, would say it's fairly priced overall Overall 4/5: probably wouldn't come regularly but good enough that I wouldn't necessarily be able to resist when I'm craving
We came here around 10 PM on a Friday night. It was super packed. Once you get to the counter, they don't rush you when you want to sample different ice cream which I really appreciate about. I ordered the black cherry pistachio. It's a very chunky ice cream. It's bits of cherries and whole pistachio nuts mixed in what taste like a sweet cream vanilla? My husband got a milkshake, but they put in the wrong ingredient. They put in chocolate and instead of praline. So when you make your order, make sure you speak very loudly and clearly so they can hear what you want. The ice cream was meh. I felt like they were too plain. So they would be good for someone who wants more of a single basic flavor without too many ingredients mixed in. For me this isn't something I'll drive out for but huge maybe if I'm just in the area. There's not a lot of seatings. Some people were in their cars eating ice cream in the parking lot . The parking lot is huge and free.
The gentleman working here was very helpful with offering samples and on recommending the chocoberry as it was very delicious!! He also sang beautifully. We enjoyed him serving us. He had a really great attitude considering how late we came, 10pm
When people suggest a place for ice cream, they often recommend the holy grail Amy's. I'd say give it a shot, but don't expect it to change your life. I'm not an ice cream snob, but I found their infamous Mexican Vanilla to be just okay. Maybe I'm not a "vanilla person" and I'm quite adventurous with my flavors. If you are the kind of person to mix in a bunch of random candies and cookies - then you'd like it. I would come back to try their other flavours but I just wasn't impressed with their "Mexican Vanilla." Also... for one tiny cup... it wasn't that cheap either.
I got it delivered via Uber eats. I got one brownie sundae. I had ordered this before and it was delicious! Love the fudge and sprinkles that the brownie comes with. I'm not sure why they gave me 4 containers of ice cream? I thought maybe because they were about to close.. but I was super happy about that! Happy with the service. Super yummy. Ice cream is super creamy
LOVED the ice cream here! Went on a late night (and by that I mean late for a weekday since it was 9pm on a Wednesday) hunt for some ice cream. I had heard of Amy's before and seeing that it was only 10 mins away and open til 12, I decided to give them a try. Upon arrival there were a few families in line, but the wait went quick. There were 2 people taking orders and both were friendly. I sampled the banana pudding and knew it was exactly what I wanted! Got some chocolate chips mixed in and honestly could've done without, the ice cream was so rich and creamy and the banana pudding flavor was on point! Tasted just like the real thing. My bf got the Mexican vanilla with Cinnamon Toast Crunch mixed in and it was really good as well. We both got small sized scoops, which were more than enough with the huge waffle cones they have. The waffle cones were actually super good as well, perfectly crunchy. It was pretty pricey, $19 for 2 cones but the quality of ice cream makes up for it for me. The spot itself is cute, kinda retro looking with some seating inside and outside. They also sell pints and ice cream cakes. I'll for sure be back to try other flavors.
I picked up a tiny size of Mexican Vanilla Ice Cream tonight, which is equivalent to one scoop. It's hard to believe that any vanilla ice cream is worth eating by itself or without toppings bc vanilla is usually boring and too simple for me, but this Mexican vanilla version is on another level of awesome. Imo, much better than any Vanilla Gelato, French Vanilla, Breyer's, Blue Bell, etc. It was very delicious, very creamy, dense, cold but not frozen, sweet and fragrant in its unique way. It's so good, I rarely add anything to it and has a sweet heavy cream, egg yolk profile to it. I wouldn't be surprised if it had a smidge of amaretto or coconut due to its full vanilla bean, exotic taste that's hard to fully pin point in description. Great, friendly service tonight as well.
Got some ice cream but overall it's about 3 stars. It was 1 star when we got a vegan icecream with Oreo as it was like salt icecream but we got to replace with vegan strawberry and it was better.
Our friends told us about this place, and we decided to come here after a Friday night dinner. We each ordered a different flavor of ice cream. None of the flavors stood out, I felt like all the flavors needed a boost. Both vanillas tasted the same. There was nothing special about this place. Better ice cream from the store.
Really great ice cream with a multitude of toppings and sauces. Tried mexican vanilla with cookie dough and praline walnut sauce. Love that it's opened late, however they may have a line so watch out for that. There are some cones which are free to swap from a cup which I loved. It's a bit on the pricer side but the quality is there.
Solid 4! We have beeen here a few times and my gf really likes this place. I like it too. Ice cream: the first time I had Oreos and vanilla. Really good. Their version of cookies and cream. This time I opted for an cookies and cream Oreo cake. 15.00 lol holy hell that's a rip off! For one that is priced wayyy too dam high and second it took 40 mins to defrost. We couldn't even eat it right away. It was as hard a rock. So we shared her ice cream and ate this hard frozen rock later at the home. It was definitely good though. Over priced in my opinion. Customer service is good. I asked for a metal spoon or knife and I might as well ask for some sort of surgery. It was like the most intricate question I have ever asked lol hahahahah. We will definitely go back.
Wr have a horrible experience with a team member. Upon entering she rolled her eyes . Reckon we are weekly customers and are familiar with most of the staff. We had an a specific incident as we placed our order and we were asked if there was anything else we assumed it was for the ice cream order she was currently making and proceeded to say no. As we went to pay we told her we weren't done ordering and rolled her eye yet again and said " that's why I said if there was anything else " she sighed real loud and rudely walked back to the ice cream bin. She made sure to charge us first before making our ice cream. She has a nose piercing is African American , wears fake eyelash and has and cross contaminating Apple Watch on as she proceeded to keep the same gloves on while making multiple orders . We will be coming back to the establishment, however will be requesting to be served by a different team member. Rude customer service
Came for a sweet treat and it definitely hit the spot! I love that this place is open until 12am most days. I also am an avid sampler when I go to ice cream shops and the staff was super patient and friendly. I got the sweet cream flavor with strawberries on top. My friends got the Belgian chocolate and the fuzzy navel which I believe is a seasonal summer flavor. The sweet cream was SO good. Very creamy and rich and not too sweet. The strawberries just added the perfect hint of freshness and sweetness. (9/10) The belgian chocolate was also pretty good, the chocolate flavor was rich and tasted like a quality dark chocolate bar. (8/10) The fuzzy navel was really nice too it was very creamy with a fresh citrus after taste. It tasted like a real orange, not artificial in the slightest. (8.5/10) I also love how they have the tiny scoop option because it's the perfect size when you just want a little something sweet. I would definitely come back for a late night treat. read more

I'm not really a dessert person but my friend insisted I try this ice cream and omggggg. The uggs, pugs and boots was my pick. I believe it was Mexican vanilla, warm praline, biscotti cookie and brown sugar... Never had anything better than that and I'm officially obsessed. The ice cream was a 10/10 and the shop was very cute! read more

First time in Houston and needed some ice cream.. google suggested Amy's and I'm glad we went!!! Hands down one of THE best ice cream joints I've been too! I got a small coffee ice cream with Oreo and golden Oreo crush-ins and it was to die for!!! It is pricey but definitely worth it!! read more
I can see why people like Amy's ice cream so much! I came here for the first time last night with some friends that live out of town. We all really enjoyed the ice cream and shakes, there are so many options to choose from, many toppings, and they are very vegan friendly too, super inclusive. Overall, ice cream, we loved! It was a lot more on the sweeter side. For me, I got the strawberry ice cream mixed together with the sweet cream one and it was super delicious, and with a waffle bowl. It was more than I had expected it to be, but a good problem to have if you're a sweet tooth like me I was pretty disappointed in the waffle bowl. It was way too sweet and didn't taste good. I actually didn't eat it. It was kind of stale and slightly bendy (not because of the ice cream though), it tasted like an artificial a slightly underdone sugar cookie... They open quite late! With how popular this place is, it makes sense to have more seating but there weren't a tone of places to sit, by the looks of it. We did sit outside, which wasn't terrible but periodically had some bad sewage smell. However, ambiance was great, the staff were pretty great and helpful too! They were friendly and guided my friends and I well. My friends also really really enjoyed their ice creams and shakes too. Would recommend to people! Although, may not be my go-to first choice. read more
I really like coming to Amy's ice creammmm They have awesome hours, where I can go fairly late and get a scope! Friendly staff who occasionally flip scopes and give generous gummy bear servings + u + (thank you.. ) And they feel quite local..! I honestly mistook them for a htown local business (b/c of the UH-Main flag in store) until I looked it up but they're still a TX based business which is pretty awesome Anyways! Very comfy and very often the first place I think to go get ice cream when the suns down and I'm out with friends~ read more
The service is the best in Houston. Every employee was smiling and extremely helpful. You can't go wrong with sweets and ice cream. I would say be prepared to wait in line because everyone tastes each flavor before making up their mind. Just enjoy the high energy feel of the atmosphere. The only downside is the price. read more

My friend recommended we check this place out and I was already excited upon pulling into the parking lot and seeing a giant cow at the front of the shop. I was even more surprised by the vegan menu. Albeit smaller than the regular menu, it too had unique flavors. I chose red velvet with ginger snap toppings and was quickly served. The ice cream didn't taste vegan (which is a good thing) and had a creamy consistency that I appreciated. Sitting outside and enjoying this dessert was the perfect way to end a summer night. read more
I was craving gelato but ran into Amy's so I decided to give it a try. I asked if they had low-fat ice cream and they said they have vegan ice cream. I really don't think vegan equals low fat. I saw two ices, lime and aloha. I chose the aloha which was like a piña colada. It's delicious. However, at $4.50 for a tiny scoop, I find it overpriced. read more

Amy's is such a classic Houston gem. I haven't been to Amy's in almost 10 years, and I was thrilled to see it's still just as wonderful if not better! Now that I'm on a plant-based journey, I am constantly seeking out vegan friendly establishments. Amy's has a daily vegan ice cream option, as well as oat milk to prepare the milkshake. I got the vegan cookies and cream milkshake and it was very good! It was rich and creamy and made with no mistake! If you are looking for a classic milkshake or plant based delight, Amy's is the place for you! read more
I have been coming to this place ever since I first tried one of their chain locations in Austin. The actual location of the store is a bit awkwardly placed since you have to turn in from a weird angle sometimes. However, the ambience is very chill and casual. The seating area is a bit worn down and torn up so it would be nice if they fixed that up. They also have a wide selection of ice creams to try and you can get mix-ins depending on which size you get. I usually get a small, so you get one Mix-in. My personal favorite is the butter pecan with chocolate chips. My friends always get the dark chocolate with Kit Kats. I like getting mix-ins because as they are mixing the toppings in, the ice cream gets softer and easier to eat. However, this also means they melt a little faster. Definitely one of the best ice cream places in Houston during the hot Houston Summers! Their ice creams are also reasonably priced in comparison to similar ice cream places. read more

I frequent the Amy's Ice Creams in Houston, TX. Last night, 3/26/22, I purchased a medium ice cream with mix-ins. As I ate my ice cream, something hard hit the back, right side of my mouth. I spit it out, and went to the sink to rinse it off. Totally shocked me to see a piece of blue plastic about the size of a penny! I washed out the rest of my ice cream cup, and didn't see anything else. However, I was nearly finished eating, so I'm terrified to think I may have ingested more of this blue plastic. I have no idea how this occurred, but it's incredibly concerning... read more

The staff is very nice. But I found the ice cream to be only "ok". The Belgian chocolate wasn't very cold and kind of runny. I think for the price point I may not go back. The chocolate dump cake has a pic of a cake but actually is ice cream. It's good. But again same issue with the Belgian chocolate ice cream. Lots of construction in the area. read more
Amy's is a cute spot, and I love that there's a dessert shop in the area that is open until midnight! My oreo ice cream topped with Kit Kat was good but did not exactly fit my preferences. The oreo ice cream was creamy, but it wasn't sweet enough to really taste over the Kit Kat topping. Also, I wish the Kit Kat topping would have been chopped or crushed more than it was - I was basically getting whole mini Kit Kat bars on top. The ice cream was good, and I would return to try more flavors. It was a bit overpriced for what I got, but I still enjoyed it regardless. read more
This place is always packed, which is well deserved! This place is amazing! Offering a wide variety of flavors with numerous toppings the combinations are never ending. Their ice creams are so creamy and very reasonable priced. I always make the drive out here because i like it THAT much. The place itself it super cute n hip, i recommend this place to everybody i know! read more

I enjoyed Amy's. The ice creams were a bit sweeter than I would have preferred but I think the base for all of them are sweet cream flavor. The service was good but they did try and upsell us which was annoying for my friend lol but we recognize it's just a part of the business. Would we return, maybe. Would I recommend to others, yes. read more
Use to love, love this place years back when Houston didn't have a strong ice cream game. It was here that I discovered earl grey tea flavored ice cream, which became my fast favorite, though they rarely offered it. Since then, I've not been wowed by any of my visits. The ice cream is super rich and dense. Descriptions of the rotating flavors must be asked. You can add toppings and mixins, but I never bother. It always looks melty when they mix stuff up into the ice cream. Service was slow and not friendly on my last visit. Still love the fun furniture and decor, and honestly if it wasn't for the convenient location, I probably wouldn't return. read more
