Between Austin, Houston and San Antonio I think I've been to every single ice cream location. Today was the final store that I was missing and they were top notched expected. Great customer service, and great ice cream.! Always go with the caramel Salt Lick, that is my favorite ice cream they serve. It's so good. Every location is consistent in the same service, the product is great, what else can you ask for? I'll continuously support this company and go to all their locations whenever I'm in town because they're doing it right! Great job luck honest ice cream!

My wife picked this place for dessert/ice cream after a Father's Day meal with one of my daughters and son-in-law. Had not been in a long time. My initial impression was not good. Parking was a chore as I missed that you could park in the back as well as up front, and there was only one person working the counter, so the line was longer than it should've been. So, first impressions can be misleading, as I was able to park in front of the storefront and another person joined the soul Employee 2/3 of the way through the line. But, it was absolutely worth the wait! Truly, the best ice cream I have eaten in a long time. I had the coffee flavor and a coconut offering. They have fancy names with unusual ingredients for the most part so I can't tell you what went with the coffee or the coconut. All four of us really enjoyed our ice cream and talked about how over-the-top excellent/tasty it was. Portion size was good. We each had two scoops. I think it was about $18.50 for the four of us which I did not think was the least bit unreasonable. I will say it again, great ice cream!

Line was long and moving with in 2 min I got a women to take my vegan ice cream order and got a water and ice cream 2 scoops inside a cup and a straw and a punch card for points . Easy smooth no problems. Nice service today . Busy inside . Only had 3 vegan options today .

Back Porch Iced Tea, Rumchata, and Bourbon Pecan Blondie
Eunice K.

I think I'm a special case here bc I got the ice cream for free, and who doesn't want free ice cream?! For the price I didn't pay, the experience was worth it! I got the Back Porch Iced Tea, Rumchata (seasonal flavor), and Bourbon Pecan Blondie (seasonal flavor). I enjoyed the Bourbon Pecan Blondie the most of the three! Back Porch Iced Tea sort of tastes kind boba, Rumchata has a coconut and slight alcohol taste to it, and Bourbon Pecan Blondie has a strong pecan flavor to it (obviously). The workers were very nice, and it's a bit small inside with limited seating, but it's nice and clean. Lick was celebrating its 13th anniversary which is why I got the ice cream free if you wanted to know! It is pretty pricey ice cream though.

Yum! Raspberry

This was delicious ice cream. It was on par with other ice cream venues with regard to taste and price. The service was excellent as well. If you're in the area, stop in for a treat!

Small Ice Cream in the process of being consumed

Lick Ice Cream is tucked away between Bufulina Due and Finley Barbershop, all of which are next to Barley Swine on Burnet Road. Finley and Lick share parking spots. In the back, there appears to also be extra parking. If you enter in the late afternoon on a sunny day, expect sunlight to stream directly through the windows. There are two freezers where all their available flavors are presented to you. You won't find any run of the mill flavors here. Instead, the flavor creations here are more interesting. A strong point here is that their ice cream is not overly sweetened; you taste the goat cheese, the herbs, or the fruits used. We opted to order a small (up to 2 flavors) with Grapefruit Paloma and Goat Cheese, Thyme, & Honey. Surprisingly, they paired together quite well. However, where was interesting was that even though the flavors came through without being excessively sweet, both flavors still tasted very similar. We were able to determine that the Grapefruit one was on the bottom and the Goat Cheese one was the top scoop. Together, they were quite refreshing. Besides, who doesn't like goat cheese and grapefruit? Service-wise, they do offer samples if you'd like to try any flavors. And is a tiny seating area inside. I would definitely come back here are try more flavors. I'd describe the ice cream as being on the lighter side--they must use both milk and cream, rather than cream alone. So as a base, it's lighter (in fat) than what you'd get from Cayuga Lake Creamery up in Interlaken, NY, but it's able to still carry a good amount of flavor, although lighter. I would still say Cayuga Lake Creamery's ice cream packs a more powerful punch of flavor.

Best ice cream EVER!! Was in Austin Texas on a HOT day and needed some ice cream. Found Lick ice cream and headed that way. This place is small and cute inside. They have parking in the front and the back. The 1 lone person working was nice and gave us a taste!! I highly recommend this place. The prices are very reasonable. And they have flavors that can not be found anywhere else. They have a couple of locations in Houston!!

After dinner thought I'd have a quick dessert next door at Lick Honest Ice Cream. Different than the normal ice cream. Sampled 1/2 of the selection and chose the salted caramel. Delicious. Was extremely cold inside bldg and decided to eat my treat outside on a bench. Cute place.

Always a great spot for some ice cream. They change some of their favorites every few months so check out their website for their flavors. The parking lot is small here but there is a parking garage next door where you can park on the first floor and walk over. Service is pretty quick. Small ice cream shop with 2 tables and a bar seating area facing the parking lot In the evening it can get pretty busy, so keep in mind you might have to wait for a bit.

Carrot Cake and Tres Leches
Cristian V.

You Melt My heart Highlights: *Rotating Seasonal Flavors *Locally Sourced Ingredients *Homemade Waffle Cones Review: Ice Cream is always the answer and this spot does not miss. I got a scoop of tres leches and one of carrot cake ice cream on their homemade waffle cones. The Tres Leches ice cream was light, milky, semisweet, with hints of vanilla and sweet cream. My favorite was the Carrot Cake, it was rich, sweet, with hints of cinnamon, carrot, nutmeg and cream cheese. All delicious topped on their warm, soft and crunchy golden brown waffle cone. Can't wait to try their other seasonal flavors. Rating: 10/10 Carrot Cake- Sweet local carrots spiced with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg are blended with Mother Culture cream cheese into our ice cream for a flavor that tastes just like your favorite carrot cake. Tres Leches- Airy sponge cake soaked in three milks- evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cream - is folded into our house made dulce de leche ice cream!

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.

Quite busy at 8:15PM on a Sunday! About ten people ahead of us and only two people working so it took about 10-15mins with people asking for samples and such. While we were there, it was always a packed line so it definitely gets really busy from 8-9PM! We got three larges for a total of twelve flavors, a little bit of overlap: Mine: Dark Chocolate Olive Oil and Sea Salt - Really liked this, the bitter saltiness offset the creaminess really well. Coffee with Cream - A very light but roasty coffee, like a light coffee. I liked this!; Goat Cheese, Thyme and Honey - The herbal flavor is more subtle than I expected! Not too sweet, liked this one Sweet Cream & Strawberry - this one didn't stand out much to me Others: Roasted Beets and Fresh Mint - I really liked this one! The beets and mint hit on the back of your tongue, yum Chocolate Chocolate - Very intense chocolate, not too crazy about it though Cookies & Cream - Surprisingly good! I liked this one Very Strawberry - way more strawberry than the sweet cream. I'd recommend this over the sweet cream and strawberry Hill Country Honey & Vanilla Bean - Pretty light, a classic. Thought it was okay. If I had a tier list it would be: 1) Coffee with Cream 2) Goat Cheese 3) Dark Chocolate Olive Oil 4) Roasted Beets and Mint 5) Cookies & Cream 6) Very Strawberry 7) Vanilla Bean 8) Chocolate Chocolate 9) Sweet Cream & Strawberry Overall, a few hits, a few misses, but it was a fun tasting experience. We paid via inKind with no issues, which made it a pretty solid value.

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.

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!

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.
