"Amy's Ice Cream will make you feel like a little kid again with their giant cones and mountain of sprinkles. But now you can order alcohol infused ice cream!" - A Taste of Koko
"Austin’s 40-year-old homegrown chain still draws a crowd at its tourist-friendly South Congress location, with 12 other shops around the city also keeping the signature Mexican vanilla coming. The flavor board changes often, while the energetic staff always brings the flair. It may not be the hottest hangout it once was, but the nostalgia still hits as hard as those crush’ns do." - Darcie Duttweiler
"“Mexican vanilla and Belgian chocolate are my favorite flavors. I worked at Amy’s for a few years in catering, doing tricks and scooping ice cream. My very first gig for Amy's was to take a bunch of free scoops to The Drag at the University of Texas and hand out ice cream. But we got one of the unmarked Amy's vans and then we forgot our cooler cover. So we had an unmarked white cooler in an unmarked van running around, popping out like the A-Team trying to give kids ice cream and no one would take it from us because we just looked like some crazy hippies who were trying to dose everybody with some suspicious ice cream. But eventually people caught wind and realized that we were just there to spread love and happiness.”" - nicolai mccrary
"The original gourmet ice cream experience in Austin. Gone are the days when employees would be drunk on the job, pouring bourbon into the ice cream itself. Amy’s has grown up into a well-oiled ice cream machine, but still remains a quirky, family-friendly mainstay of the Austin experience. And with more locations in Austin than we have fingers, you’re probably within a few blocks of some ice cream right now." - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
"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." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
