Amy's Ice Cream on South Congress is a beloved local haunt, dishing out inventive, creamy ice cream creations and playful toppings to beat the Austin heat.
"The original gourmet ice cream experience, Amy’s has expanded all over Austin. Gone are the days when employees would be drunk on the job, pouring bourbon into the ice cream itself. Amy’s is all grown up now, but still manages to remain a quirky, family-friendly mainstay of the Austin experience. Between the “crush’ns,” the toppings, and the ice cream flavors, there are approximately 1,000,000 different combinations you can get here, or you can just go with one of their classic combinations if you find yourself overcome by choice.
