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.

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.

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!

I got the banana pudding special and it was so good. I love that the ice cream is not super sweet and has real banana flavors.

The atmosphere is very chill yet a bit upscale. Not a cut off jeans and tank top place for sure. The staff that waited on us was super friendly and on top of everything.

Nestled up to a running creek, a constant breeze blew thru and just made everything perfect! Looking forward to my next trip!

The ambiance is very intimate, with low lighting and some booth seating. It's a good date or celebration spot. Off the Happy Hour menu, we ordered: Spicy Salmon cones = $4 each. Tuna cones = $5 each Spicy Rigatoni = $15 Street Corn = $8 Dessert (Full price): Brown Butter Cake = $18 Lemon Swirl Cheesecake = $20 Campfire Brownie = Complimentary as it's my friend's birthday. The tuna and salmon cones were fine, but were so small that it was a bit surprising to us. The spicy rigatoni was the best rigatoni I had ever had, and it is actually spicy. It had a bit of a kick, and the flavor pairs well with the pasta. The street corn was good. The brown butter cake was my favorite, while the lemon swirl cheesecake had too much of a lemon taste for me. The campfire brownie is cool when they light it on fire, but it's just ice cream and brownies. Finally, their house bread is so buttery and flaky that it straight up melts in your mouth. Some might say it's too buttery, but I loved it. The service was amazing, as you would expect in a place like this. I was still seated even though my entire party was running late. I definitely recommend this place and will try their dinner menu!

We did have a little service hiccup when our server left us waiting for quite a while. I also understand that things happen and sometimes a busy restaurant gets hectic, so I don't want to judge the entire experience based on that. What impressed me was how Khloe, the manager, stepped in and handled it. She was incredibly helpful and made sure we were taken care of, which really changed the experience for the better. The atmosphere is a lot of fun. Good music, sports playing on the TVs, bottomless mimosas, and games for anyone who wants to make a day of it. There's something for pretty much everyone in the group. Next time I'll definitely be trying some of the games. Between the food, drinks, music, sports, and overall vibe, this is pretty much the definition of a Sunday Funday spot. I'll definitely be back!
