Brought a friend here for the first time recently and they loved it! This is the perfect little ice cream spot. So cute and unique!

Creamy, ingredients listed, good service, made in-house, fresh, delicious overall! Definitely recommend the banana flavor as well as the coconut flavor. Will need to come back!!

Strawberry dairy-free ice cream treat with tasty crumbles (July 2026)

Standing in a long line later at night among college students and families during a recent visit to Austin, I was wondering if it was worth it for Zeds and overall, the answer was yes. We tried both their custom ordering and one of their blueberry-based specials and were happy with both. Since there were some in our group that were lactose intolerant, we were not sure how their dairy-free, vanilla-flavored base was going to mix with the selected fruit and how the texture was going to be, but we were pleasantly surprised. Various excellent toppings to choose from as well for both additional flavors and textures. The blueberry-based special was also excellent and was a good combo that imparted a cool relief for a hot and humid Austin night. Hope to get back to try other combo's and options they have at Zeds

Perfect Place for dessert in this hot weather. The ice cream is delicious! I really like that you can build your own or you can choose from the given options. Lots of outdoor seating. Parking is limited but people are constantly coming and going so it was pretty easy to get a parking spot. Ordered the Toasted Blue Coconut And Toasted Blue Coconut subbed Blueberry for Strawberry ice cream and added pecans. They were both delicious. Pet friendly. There are two food trucks and a coffee shop on site!

I can truly say this is some of the best ice cream I've ever had! We went on a Saturday evening, super close the closing, and the line was scary. However, the group in front of us said that it shouldn't be intimidating, and the ice cream is 100% worth the wait, and even gave some recommendations for what to order. Dare I say now, I wholeheartedly agree. The ice cream is so good, it's creamy, delicious, and natural! We ended up waiting about 20 to 30 minutes, the line was all the way through the outdoor dining area near a few closed food truck style restaurants. The lot is small to park, however, you can street park down the road, and it's a quick walk. You'll also be able to vouch for getting to enjoy a larger size than I did, if you park farther down because I wish that small was a medium after we got it. The small we shared, was the vanilla ice cream, with the strawberries mixed into the soft serve. Initially, we thought it would be a topping however your fruit is added directly into the soft serve, which was unexpected but amazing! We also got that with their homemade chocolate sauce, and Oreos. It was so enjoyable in the Texas heat and ended a great night, this dessert is at the forefront of my mind now when I think of Austin, also, the girl working, the counter was super sweet! It was still humid out, and they were putting away the water. She still gave us two ice cold cups for free, which were much needed and super refreshing after standing for a bit. The combinations are endless, but I have no doubt every single one is phenomenal.

I really love New Zealand-style ice cream because they blend real fruit directly into the ice cream, which makes it taste fresh and flavorful. I first tried it at a shop in San Diego and loved it, so I was excited to see a place here offering it too. I visited with my family, and we ordered several items. I got a small vanilla with pineapple, which I was excited to try. I understand they were busy, but I did notice the blending machine wasn't cleaned between every order. Because of that, some of the flavors seemed to carry over. My ice cream had a slight strawberry taste even though I ordered pineapple. It wasn't noticeable in every order, but it did affect a few of ours. While it may not bother everyone, it can impact the taste and could also be something to consider for customers with food allergies or sensitivities.

I didn't look into what exactly this was prior to getting there, people in line behind me so I felt rushed in figuring out what I wanted. My bad....what a neat ice cream concept this is! Fresh fruit, blended into the ice cream. So many toppings and sauces to get as well. We had banana and raspberry, chocolate and caramel toppings, gummy bears, toasted coconut and cheesecake bites. All delicious! The sitting area has plenty of shade, little covered turf area for little ones to run around. Only complaint is all the tables needed a good wipe down, lots of sticky ice cream remnants and food spills. There are a couple of little food trailers there too.

The ice cream was alright, nothing too impressive. I have been to other places that have a little bit more creamy consistency and would prefer them over this place, but still a good spot to come if you are in Austin and wanting to get a nice cold ice cream with fruit blended in and some great toppings.

Martha L.

What a delicious delight that ice cream was the softest jumpiest trip of flavors ! I can't believe it is real fruit ice cream I got the banana ice cream and it had included little chunks of it. Ice cream shop was a full run being a cute corner ice cream shop tucked in a neighborhood shared with other food trucks it felt close knitted. Service was quick too no more than five minutes way less than ten minutes all together but I was here midday.

Raspberry with chocolate and bunelos
Soraya S.

So fresh and yummy. Chocolate made in house daily and you can tell. The bunelos were so crispy and added the perfect crunch.

This was my first time visiting Zeds Real Fruit Ice Cream in East Austin. When I arrived at 11:30 pm, they were not serving ice cream. It appears Noon is the bewitching hour for serving ice cream at this Zed location. I had only been to the Zed's in Tarrytown, which does not serve coffee. I ordered a white blond, which was a latte. The latte was Luke warm and lacked flavor, so I had hazelnut flavoring added. It still was not appealing. I only drank about half of the latte and threw the remaining amount away. There were some mothers and children having a play date in the outdoor area.

Eina D.

So good! We must've came at a really great time because as soon as we ordered, the line became extremely long. The ice cream itself had the perfect sweetness and could be customizable with the base, syrup, and toppings. Street parking wasn't too difficult to find and there was entry of outdoor seating.

Andy D.

Zeds Ice Cream is phenomenal! Came here around 8 PM on a Monday night and there was quite the crowds of ice-cream enthusiasts waiting to get their ice cream. Parking here is a bit limited but there is plenty of street parking available in the immediate area. The ice cream selection is unique: Pick your size, ice cream flavor (one fruit flavor mixed with either regular or dairy-free vanilla), then you add your desired drizzles and toppings. I ordered the Waffle Cone with strawberry flavor, chocolate + peanut butter drizzles, and cookie dough bites + Oreo toppings. It was quite the size and packed a punch! The wait is about 10-ish minutes after you place your order. There are plenty of picnic styled benches to sit and enjoy your ice cream. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
