I want to preface this review by overstating the fact that this location has some of the best nitro…read moreice cream I have ever had. And I have had nitro ice cream throughout Austin and California when I used to live there. Their birthday cake and animal cracker ice creams are to die for and are an absolute must try. I don't find the ratings on this shop to be fair because people are more inclined to leave negative reviews than positive. I have had nothing but a positive experience with this location every single time I have visited. I tell everyone within my circle about this hidden gem in Taylor. They do get pretty busy on weekends but I have not had any issues with the customer service on that front. They have an amazing selection of novelty candies and bits and bobbles... There is something for everyone at this location. Here is a quick insider tip: If you buy a candy bar, you can ask the associate to use it as a mix-in into your ice cream. We took a rum chocolate bar and used it as a mix-in and it was pure heaven. Great job Big O's!

The staff was super friendly and helpful as we had never been here before and couldn't quite figure…read moreout how to order. Basically, pick your base, flavor and a topping and they make the ice cream right in front of you with nitrogen. Super fun experience and delicious ice cream! I got the cake batter with frosted animal crackers and it was very rich but delicious! There were tons of candies and treats to choose from around the store but we didn't get any. Just looking in some of the candy containers I did see a few gnats and things trapped in there so I'd maybe stick with packaged treats. Other than that, we really enjoyed this experience!

Pretty damn gross. I couldn't even find an employee when I went in, no one was around and then I saw one girl just standing in the back on her phone, did not greet me at all until I said hello a few times. I was there a couple times in September and October and it seemed different then. The manager was very friendly and helpful, store was clean and pretty well stocked and it was a completely different experience than the one I had recently. What's going on?
