Amy's Ice Creams

I hadn’t been to this location before. The parking was a little bit of a challenge but we managed. Just like any Amy’s Ice Creams, they serve delicious ice cream, my favorite being their Belgian Chocolate. Though, this time, I opted for their Coffee flavor in a waffle cone which was amazing. My husband always gets their Mexican Vanilla, with Golden Oreos and Fruity Pebbles mixed in. You should try it, it’s delicious! This location was pretty spacious inside with some tables and chairs for sitting but we took ours to-go.

super cute ice cream spot, delicious ice cream, and very sweet and cool staff! i got dark chocolate with bananas mixed in topped w/ sea salt and no mistake, there was nothing left! will definitely return next time we're in austin.

Cute place, I like all the children's art on the walls. The hand written flavors are charming too. The ice cream is EXTREMELY rich, so my friend and I shared a small rosemary flavor cup. If you're a movie connoisseur, they have a movie quote every day and guessing correct will get you a free topping! I usually just get fresh strawberries if I get it right. What I don't like is that I find the ice cream too sweet, as they use a lot of sugar. The employees are fantastic at their job, but also overworked during rush hour, and don't get paid enough for what they do.

Amy's is an ATX institution serving 350+ rotating flavors of ice cream. Still, when in town, I always get the ever-popular Mexican Vanilla. Since they rotate through flavors, there's always something new to try. The ice cream is excellent, and a "tiny" serving will satisfy most with an equally satisfying low price. Extras like M&Ms are available, but they are traditional toppings. I prefer add-ins mixed in, not just sprinkled on top. If you like add-ins, I recommend a Marble slab. I look forward to my next visit to Austin to get my favorite local ice cream.

What an incredible spot! As an out-of-towner, I wanted to hit-up the best ice cream spot. Google recommended Amy’s to me and it surely didn’t disappoint. There was a long line but it moved quickly because of the incredible scoopers. Just because they were working fast didn’t stop them from offering samples and being incredibly personable =] And the actual ice cream was delicious! I got peach with graham crackers and it tasted so fresh and sweet. I’ll certainly be back!

In celebration of life, I stopped at Amy's for Mexican Vanilla plus dreamsicle/pecans and oreos! My mouth was ecstatic and I savored each spoonful. BE PATIENT. Wait in line. Amy's is WORTH IT. I am dreaming of Amy's now. It is time to Penske to Austin. GOOD BYE DALLAS. Austin is my kind of city. Thank you Derek at West Chelsea Contemporary Art across from Amy's. Derek hooked me up with captivating childhood memories.

Sweet spot for a sweet treat! Great flavors and ad-ins. Service was fabulous! Truly enjoyed our time!!

Such darlings work here! The ice cream was delicious and they have unique flavors and combinations. Check out this local chain!

Best Ice Cream in Texas! This is deceptive. They give you this "small" ice cream and you're thinking "pricey for a small cup," but then you start eating and then you're wondering if you can finish it! The ice cream is sooo dense! And creamy! Did I mention creamy? And the flavors really pop. Service is excellent, and you can get a taste sample if you're trying to decide. A bonus is the location, right behind the place that was the original home for Waterloo Records for years. Traditional Old Austin atmosphere! If you're in the area and in the ice cream mood, you can't do better than Amy's.

When I make my monthly stockup trip to Lush, it always means a stop at Amy's for a little treat as they're next door to one another. Service and ice cream are always great. Clean store. On a recent visit however we left after being in line for 15 minutes. It was a long line (out the door) in a small shop. There was one employee and we just felt so badly for him having to go at it alone. Poor planning by management I'd say. I'll continue to stop by every month. I just hope the employees get more assistance.

This is such a good, nostalgic icecream spot! I got one of the special mix ins and it was delicious! I got it with sweet cream, strawberry, and sprinkles!

Nice spot to stop in for a sweet treat!! Love that this place mixes their ice cream like cold stone for the perfect integration of toppings. I got the one with all the cookie toppings and the textures and amount of toppings was so well done and so rich!!

What even is Austin without Amy's? Our one true love. I've never had a time at Amy's that I didn't enjoy. Every single flavor is a hit, the ambience is always a good mix of chill and fun, and there's always something interesting to look at. I really like this location because it's close to a lot of fun things yet neatly tucked away so you can hide from the busy noise and crowds. If you e never been to an Amy's for ice cream, what are you waiting for?!

Stopped by for a treat and it hit the spot! I got the mint chocolate, and they topped it with Andes chocolate pieces, so it was double the minty goodness. My friend got Belgian chocolate and coffee in a waffle cone though the thickness became a bit too much halfway through. Everything was super creamy, flavorful, and the service was fast and friendly as always.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Holy cr*p this is the best sweet cream ice cream I've ever had. The quality and texture was freaking perfect. I bet the other flavors are just as good. Y'all need to come to Dallas please!!!! Parking is a bit difficult but this is so worth it. The service was also wonderful, the girl that helped us was super nice and full of energy.

Hadn't done this type of thing in years but it was very good. Loved the coffee ice cream plain in the smallest cup; they give you a larger portion it seems if you don't ask for topping and whatnot. Everyone loved it; good friendly service with a simple ambiance and a nice seating area outside. Worth a visit.

The server chops up the ice cream and mixed in the goodies (crunshings, chocolate chips, etc), before serving it in a cone or cup per your liking. We enjoyed the ice creams and it was a generous portion. The ambiance was worldly and friendly. They have markers for people to express their artistic side, also pins for visitors to share where they came from. The only down side was that there was just one person serving everyone, so the wait was extended, not sure if that was just because it was a week day.

Not gonna lie. I've slept on Amy's for the 7 years I've lived in Austin until today and it did not disappoint. I stayed basic (because on the first try you have to confirm that a place can do basic good), and I ordered a small of the dark chocolate fudge with rainbow sprinkles and whipped cream. While I do prefer the real whipped (they use some sort of cool whip type), the server was MVP surprising me by asking if I wanted the sprinkles on top or mixed in. Like cold stone style? Yessir. Both staff members were super sweet and easy to work with. Young, and put in the work with a long line! Pro tip: sign up for their newsletter and show your ID on your birthday and you get a free scoop. Definitely looking forward to returning to celebrate ringing in a new year with Amy's.

Expensive AF. It's good and all and I've been to at least 3 locations. Service has been mixed, and I dunno. I'll go when I get bonuses at work so I can afford it. The mint chocolate chip (Zilker maybe?) IS on point, but still crazy prices. I'm sure rent ain't cheap though.

delicious ice cream with classic flavors and good mix ins. Fast service with nice spots to eat. The Mexican Vanilla is delicious and unique.

Delicious ice cream! They have unique ice cream names and flavors. I tried the coffee, which is your typical coffee flavor, but creamier! I also tried the white lightning, which is their ice cream that is flavored white mocha and contains 5% alcohol. It was a good balance and was sweet from the white mocha flavor. The staff worker was super kind and patient and let us try as many flavors we wanted to. The ice cream shop is pretty big with plenty of seating to hangout. If I end up in Austin again, I would for sure stop by for some dessert!

This place has a unique vibe and really good ice cream. Similar to cold stones but with its own special touch. Decent customer service and cool atmosphere

Buena porción y precio y el texas dirt cake es un most, que se debe probar. El servicio excelente también.

I haven't been here in years but finally decided to give it a try. I wish I didn't. The place is fine and people are great but the ice cream is not. It's the sweetest ice cream I've ever had. It's so full of sugar that it overpowers all other flavor. Why does one need this much sugar in ice cream? The texture isn't ruined by all the sugar though which I guess is good as some ice creams could be. Anyways, never coming back.

The ice cream was okay, the service was slow and we had to wait in line in the sun, absolutely no shade to stand in or to sit and enjoy ice cream at. Sad I Ubered here and Amy's was underwhelming

I discovered this location while looking for the best ice cream in Austin and with the help of yelp I found Amy's. I ended up going on two different occasions due to the ice cream being very good. While the ice cream is high quality the same can be said for the friendly and helpful service. On my first trip, I sampled sweet cream, vanilla, and Oreo. I ended up getting a large cup of sweet cream with Oreo toppings chopped in (8.57$ after taxes). The ice cream was very creamy and rich and got better with each spoonful. On my next trip, I sampled vanilla, Mexican vanilla, Belgian choclate, and sweet cream. I ended up getting a pint of vanilla, Mexican vanilla, and sweet cream with Oreos chopped in (10.76$ after taxes). The pint wasn't as good as the first time I had it but it was still good. Amy's ice cream is a pretty good ice cream spot that I would recommend to all and return to if in the area.

Amy's Ice Cream has some of the creamiest, delightful flavors. Their ice cream came highly recommended from some locals, and my friend and I indulged in a few samples. The quality of the dairy is evident, and their portions are quite generous. Being in Austin, I knew I had to go with the butter pecan, topped with pecan praline sauce. It is meant for those with a sweet tooth- that's for sure, but it was totally worth every calorie! Also nice that they have a location at the Austin airport if you need one last fix. Considering the quality, fresh pecans, and price- it is quite the deal (calories and all).

Pretty nice ice cream shop, has a few specialty options. We stopped by here on a recommendation. We got the creeper and mangonada, mangonada was really light in flavor, creeper was more classic in flavor. Its maybe been a while since I've been to an ice cream shop but it's a bit more expensive than I would expect to pay. The workers were pretty friendly though! They do also have a reasonable unisex bathroom for use, requires a code.

This is the ONLY Amy's location where everything tastes like Febreze... EW! It's worth taking an extra 15 minutes to go to one of their other locations, where toxic chemical fragrances aren't sprayed all over the food, equipment, and air.

Pls bring back Texas dirt cake. Best flavor ever. I'm always visiting this location and the staff is so nice!

Very good ice cream. Has a vibe of cold stone with the way they add their mix-ins but definitely better. Everyone was very friendly and they even threw the scoop up over their shoulder and into the cup for a bit of performance. Will definitely return.

Who doesn't love Amy's ice cream! One of the oldest and most favorite ice cream shoppe in Austin. There are so many cool flavors and toppings to choose from and I absolutely love their waffle cones. The staff is always so sweet and friendly in all locations.

This review is very overdue from when we visited Austin in April last year but I am still occasionally thinking of this place. I've been recommending Amy's to anyone visiting as it's so good! When we were playing tourist back in April, we walked around and stumbled upon Amy's ice creams. The weather was 85° and eating ice cream is truly one of my favorite ways to cool down. When walking in, there were a lot of options on the menu as well as suggestions to mix in different toppings. My husband and I ended up getting coffee and sweet cream ice cream and wow, it was so good! It wasn't overly sweet but incredibly delicious. There were lots of toppings but I wanted to try the ice cream as is but for those who love a little something extra on your ice cream, you definitely won't be lacking in options. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area as you won't regret it!

I love Amy's and I love this location! It's so cute and the staff was great. I got a tiny which was expensive but had enough ice cream for me. If I could change one thing it would be the prices, but I know how hard it is to keep an ice cream shop open these days!

Amy's was the perfect afternoon treat after kayaking in the morning. It's a bit hidden away in West Austin, but it's worth the drive out. I love seeing hand-written menus. The store is like any typical ice cream store with indoor and outdoor seating. The inside was decorated with Amy's merch, fun facts about the store, and local news. This location doesn't typically have a line, but the day I went, my friend and I had to wait about 20 minutes. The group in front of us was trying all the flavors, and only 2 people were working behind the counter. I got the cookies and cream and added some rainbow sprinkles, which was 10/10.

Great ice cream place with fun mix-ins and a vibrant friendly duo we found while visiting on 8/15 around 6:30p in Anakin and Mari (excuse the spelling). Anakin was super helpful and kind and let us try a bunch of flavors amid our indecision and new to Amy's visit. Anakin is a great spokesperson for what Amy's is all about giving us the lowdown of flavors and combos in 20 seconds. I would hope they are working if ever we are in Austin again. :) Mari was efficient in taking the rest of our groups order and got us checked out quickly as a line built. True sign of professional to notice and adapt! This is a spot you don't want to miss while in Austin - especially this location. There are plenty of gorgeous homes to check out on Baylor near the shop, or peruse the original Whole Foods and waterloo records nearby.

Jule was such a kind person and made my experience at Amy's a pleasant one! We had questions about the different ice cream flavors and she was able to help and even gave us some suggestions. The atmosphere was great and so was the ice cream. I will be coming back to this location on my next trip back down to Austin!

Extremely lovely staff! I tried Amy's ice cream for the first time the other day and everyone working there was very nice and quick! The cold pressed vanilla is SO good and I highly recommend visiting to try out different mixing and matching with the toppings you can add. Very reasonably priced and the atmosphere is that of any regular ice cream shop!

This ice cream was so good and the staff was super knowledgeable and sweet! There's a lot of photo opportunities a great stop while you're in Austin!

Great spot for ice cream! They have a variety of fun flavors and toppings, and they mix it up for you similar to what you would see at Cold Stone. They also allow you to sample flavors before you decide! I got the Mexican vanilla ice cream with golden Oreos mixed in. It was yummy - the Mexican vanilla is a stronger and creamier vanilla compared to a regular vanilla, and I liked how my topping was mixed in well. Overall this is a fun ice cream spot, and a great place to get a sweet treat on a hot day. There's so many flavors and toppings it's hard to decide - which means you'll have to come back again :)

Delicious ice cream, and I got free rainbow sprinkles because it's a rainy day! I love Amy's, they're so perfectly Austin

Sorry, I wasn't impressed. There was only one worker when we came in and there were five young dudes in line ahead of us and it took painfully long for the girl at the counter to both attempt flirting with them (REALLY painful to witness as the guys were NOT interested) and fulfill their ice cream orders. She even made one totally wrong and had to redo it. I got the dark chocolate ice cream w pecan praline. I didn't know the praline was liquid, expecting it to be a mix-in, but instead it was just poured on top, super sweet. The dark chocolate wasn't as rich as I expected, having asked the difference between it and the Belgian chocolate. So, disappointed there. With a waffle cone, my treat was over $10. Also, this place could use a THOROUGH scrubbing.

Came here for a refreshing scoop of ice cream on a warm December afternoon. I opted for a more standard flavor, the coffee ice cream, as that was what I was feeling at the time. The scoop of coffee ice cream was enjoyable and was good, but did not blow me away. I probably would have been more impressed if I had tried out one of their more unique signature flavors, but that will be for next time! Pro tip: I think there may be a small discount if you mention that it's your first time there, like 10% off or so. I overheard the customer in front of me mention something like that.

We stumbled across Amy's while visiting Austin. The ice cream was delicious! So good that we had to visit once more while in Austin. did not disappoint either time and we went to two different locations.

My favorite Amy's to go in the central/south austin area. The staff is really nice compared to other locations

If you love sweet ice cream this is the place to go to. Ice cream is so sweet and delicious. Perfect for a summer night. My kids loved the strawberry.

When I arrived at the local ice cream place of some repute, I was greeted by someone attempting to throw a scoop of ice cream across the street for a customer to catch. Apparently this is a normal thing here. I took my ice cream handed to me the old-fashioned way. I wanted to try the Mexican vanilla, and it was indeed an aromatic flavor that tasted of sweet spices. I didn't quite grasp how much they emphasized mixing in toppings, but I imagine it's suitable for that. On the other hand, there was no reason at all to mix anything in my mint chip, which was even more richly flavored, tasting like a mix of several fresh mint varieties and with ample chocolate chunks. It was definitely in the upper end of mint chip ice cream, and I eat a lot of mint chip ice cream. They had vegan flavors as well; what's not to like?

We were visiting Austin and wanted a cool treat on a hot day. We got a large with strawberry, vanilla, and 2 other flavors (I forgot what they were called, but one had pie bits and the other one had animal crackers) and all the flavors were rich and creamy. I expected more "chunks" in the pie and animal cracker flavors, but nonetheless enjoyed it. Service was quick and fast, and we were able to try some flavors.

Disappointing to say the least. No butter pecan. No strawberry. No cherry. No dulce de leche. Nothing with a caramel swirl.

What a spot, loved how they treated me and my friends. management is happy and kind to all customers that walk in the door.

This might be a slightly different tune of review for Amy's, but we come here solely for the ice cream cakes. They come in varying sizes - all the way from personal to family sized - and are almost always readily available for pickup (though it is best to call ahead to get your order prepped). Our July-birthday friend has a soft spot for the Oreo ice cream cake during the sweltering Texas heat. The cake consistency is less soft serve, more frozen. This certainly does not inhibit the flavors and sweetness from coming through. It is also decorated elaborate enough for a birthday celebration. The staff here are clear professionals. The cake comes with thorough instructions on prep and storage. The cake itself comes frozen solid; you've actually got to thaw it for 30-45 min prior to consumption. This makes it pretty darn ideal for transporting. The line in the store is always a tad inconvenient, but they make up for it with the easy parking right past the store on w 6th St. Be back next year for that ice cream cake!

Super yummy ice cream with a fun atmosphere and staff! I am not from the Austin area so I was pleasantly surprised with this chain. They had so many flavors and add-ins to choose from! What I ordered: I got a small Texas dirt with cookie dough added in. This is one of those ice cream places that smashes the ice cream and toppings together (which I like). The ice cream was rather expensive. I feel like I have gotten similar things for less money, but it was still good nevertheless! At this location, they are only allowing one group inside the building at a time. Make sure to bring s face mask!

Wonderful service. Fun to be able to mix in different toppings but not my favorite ice cream.

I read that this ice cream place was amazing, and to be honest didn't really believe it but it lived up to the hype. It's unbelievably delicious. And the server behind the counter was exceptional as well.

To skip the line head to this location over the one on Congress. Our server here was super friendly and let us try as many samples as we liked. The faves here are def the Mexican Vanilla and Belgian Chocolate. I opted for the Belgian Chocolate in a cake cone and they stuff the cone with at least 2 large scoops. The chocolate here is nice and creamy but not too sweet which was great for a hot day. The shakes here are also winners and they're not too expensive for what you get coming in ~$6. Check out their combos on the board for the shakes. We tried the coffee lobster shake and that was delicious!

Best ice cream ever! Must-visit when in Austin. Please, please, please come to Dallas!

Amy's ice cream was a joy all around to visit! The person working was super welcoming and explained all the flavors and how the whole process worked. It's very similar to a Coldstone where you can pick whatever ingredients to mix into the ice cream. I got the Mexican vanilla with Reeses which was delicious. Very cute and kids friendly - they even do tricks sometime with the ice cream!
