    I tried Zeds for the first time at their East Austin location not too long ago and was delighted to learn about their new digs out in Westlake! About time we get another ice cream shop around here. There's been a lot of business turnover in this particular spot and I'm hoping Zeds will stick around. It's kind of tucked away on Bee Caves, so be sure not to miss it. There's ample parking and it's conveniently located next to several other restaurants, drug store, etc. There's a shared seating area with an açaí shop, but they seem to have pretty different hours. If you're like me, I had no idea what the heck New Zealand style ice cream was. Think soft serve but creamier and thicker - with fresh fruit blended in! You have the option to choose your own adventure (base + fruit + toppings/drizzle) or go with one of their rotating combos. Can't really go wrong either way, but I would avoid the gummy bears... they turn into rocks after being mixed in with the cold. The ladies at this location were very generous with the portions and toppings, so definitely save room for dessert or share with your hunny. Excited to return!

    TL;DR: just go. Zed's offers New Zealand style ultra creamy soft serve ice cream blended with real fruit . The menu offers plenty of options to satisfy any sweet tooth, and they also have rotating specials to help narrow things down if you get overwhelmed by choice like I do. This is Zed's 3rd location in Austin, and the one with arguably the easiest parking situation compared to the other two. It shares space with Blenders & Bowls which can be a tad confusing depending on what door you enter. FYI the cups look smaller than they are -- the small is equivalent to 2 scoops and the regular is 3 scoops.

You can pick cookies or brownies for your sandwich, and the combinations are endless. The service is great and everything feels fresh and thoughtfully made. The inside is a bit small, but this location has a really nice lawn and patio area where you can sit and enjoy your treat. It's the perfect place to hang out, especially on a warm day. Pro tip: choose two different cookies so you can try more than one flavor, and always get your sandwich warmed up. It takes it to a whole new level. Such a unique and delicious stop in Austin.

I mean you can see for yourself that the ice cream sandwich looks 10 out of 10 fire. I did the custom ice cream sandwich with vanilla ice cream two different cookies- one was the gooey butter cake (overpowering after a few bites) did not finish & the other was like a oreo & cookie mix (much better) and did finish. Vanilla ice cream was decent, but nothing special. I might get it again if I was in the area and really had a sweet tooth, but I would definitely go for some different flavors because they just didn't hit the same this time.

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.

    Dehydrated and desperately needing something sweet we dropped by Jim Jim's to see what the high…read morereviews were all about. 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!
