Strawberry Ice Cream with chocolate and condensed milk

YUM! Probably my like 5th time having Zed's but first time at this location. I love the strawberry flavor and trying different toppings. I hope they bring back their chocolate sprinkles. I loved that this location had indoor seating. Service was super quick as usual.

Zeds Real Fruit Ice Cream brings a refreshing Kiwi twist to the Austin dessert scene, and their new west side location is a welcome addition for anyone craving something fruity, creamy, and a little different. After hearing the buzz, I had to check it out--and I'm glad I did! My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - The new spot on Exposition Blvd fits right into the laid-back, family-friendly vibe of west Austin. It's clean, bright, and has a minimalist charm that lets the ice cream shine. There's a cozy patio area perfect for enjoying your cone under the Texas sun, and the interior has a modern, welcoming feel. It's not overly flashy, but it doesn't need to be--Zeds is all about the product. 1 Star. Service - The staff were upbeat and knowledgeable. They were pretty busy but kept the line moving pretty fast. There is a menu with instructions on how to order, so if it's your first time, be sure you pick it up and use it. The line moved quickly, and even during a busy evening, the team kept things flowing smoothly. 1 Star. Food - The ice cream is made to order. I chose to create a shake with banana, chose vanilla for the base, and then mixed in chocolate and peanut butter. The end result was a delicious smooth shake that perfectly blended the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter together with banana. It is a little pricey come up, but definitely worth it. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Absolutely. Zeds is now on my shortlist for go-to summer spots. It's a great place to bring friends or family, especially if you're looking for something a little healthier and more unique than your average scoop shop. I'll be back to try the peach and blackberry next time! 1 Star.

STRAWBERRY WITH vanilla and chocolate drizzle
Neha G.

Expect good Crowd on weekend. We went there on Fri eve and it was all packed inside and patio was full. We were waiting in line for almost 15 mins. Full of college students. The menu is simple- you chose a size, base fruit, flavor, and then drizzles or topping. Ice cream is good, slight hint of strawberry in there. With chocolate drizzle, it goes reall

Their second location, which I might add is great during Texas summer since it has indoor seating with A/C. They are located at the far end of the place behind the Starbucks; just keep walking, and you will get to their door and see their outside patio. Got the Zed Dirty Cake; the banana and vanilla ice cream were good with the Oreo and drizzle of chocolate on top. The gummy bears were hard due to the coldness of the ice cream; I could have done without them or just had them on the side for later. It was busy when I arrived, and my order was done pretty quickly, and I just sat inside and enjoyed my seating. For parking, there are only like 3-4 in front of the store, and the rest is a bit further, but it isn't too bad.

I have been wanting to try Zed's for well over a year and I finally got to try it! I totally understand the hype. The ice cream is very good and I love how they incorporate the fresh fruit! I got the raspberry and added cheesecake bites and it was super yummy! I tried a bite of my friends' and I think that my favorite flavor is the strawberry. Such a cute ice cream spot with great outdoor picnic bench seating and the service was great and very fast for how busy they were. Excited to come back soon! :)

Small blackberry with regular vanilla, la lechera, and buñuelo crunch
Briana N.

Cute and bustling (!) spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. The small was bigger than I thought, but everything came out to be a little over $7, which was more than I expected. But they have really good flavors and toppings. It's all really fresh, despite being a dessert, but it's genuinely not too sweet, which I appreciated. The toppings really make the dish, but I very quickly ate the top layer with the toppings and had to sadly eat the rest toppingless.

Was invited to get some ice cream after playing some pickleball. It was my first time and it was a great experience. There was a line at the door but they were fast, I also got my ice cream in 2 minutes! The interior is small - standard ice cream shop size but they have a nice patio with enough tables and seating. Def recommend!

Strawberry Chocolate Cookie

I really like this location more than their first. The parking situation is much easier and there's even a place to sit inside so your soft serve isn't melting immediately. I find it much more enjoyable since it melts so fast to enjoy in AC. They do have a really spacious patio too at this location. The staff is nice and I appreciate the speediness. It can add up when you put a lot of toppings but I think it's worth it instead of eating it plain! Mine had 3 toppings and was a regular size and was about $8 with tip, a little pricey but fun for the occasional outing.

New Zeds is just as great as the original! Love this place and love the indoor seating at this location. Ice cream is 5/5 and service is wonderful as always.

The Pecan Joy is my new favorite! Texas pecans alongside toasted coconut and dark chocolate flakes in a creamy coconut base. The scoops are very very tiny for the price, but it was a great little treat. I also loved tasting the Texas Sheet Cake: their interpretation of this classic cake combines a swirl of decadent chocolate-pecan icing with delicate chocolate ice cream, but it was just too rich for me. Great spot that I'm sure we will frequent again soon!

They are always clean, cozy, with friendly staff who don't mind if you need to sample multiple flavors before making a decision. Speaking of the flavors, they're pretty unique, rotate out, and there's usually two vegan options to choose from, so it's great if you are out with a group of mixed diets. It's a little pricey, but you'll get higher end ingredients than at a smaller ice cream shop. For the vegan flavors, Chocolate Chocolate is pretty solid, but I prefer the Pecan Joy when it's available. The Grapefruit Paloma has a boozy kick that is delightful as well. I'm told the Texas Sheet Cake is really good and so is their Caramel Salt Lick.

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.

By far, passion fruit was my favorite out of the 3, the other 2 were refreshing, but not personal favorites. If your particular about flavorings the definitely have some artificial taste to them so choose wisely. It's a cute hole in the wall shop for a grab and go water ice. So many flavors to choose from, hope they open back up soon so I can try some more!
