Amy's Ice Cream has been a tradition since Amy Miller opened the first shop in 1984. With such homemade flavors as Mexican vanilla, sweet cream and, for the truly Texan, Shiner Bock, there's an ice cream...

User Reviews of Amys Ice Cream

Mexican vanilla rules

This is the first Amy's I went to. I love their Mexican vanilla and also their seasonal flavors, like eggnog and that kind of thing. The employees are always really happy and friendly, but they shouldn't beg...

Bad service, ice cream pretty good

The best thing about this place are the unique flavors. The worst thing is the service. The employees try too hard to be cool. They are rude. Not helpful. The employees at Amy's icecream act like they are...

An Austin Favorite

However, not the best environment, not the nicest employees, and certainly not the best ice cream. I understand Austin LOVES its local businesses. Amy's is in a word 'corporate' but still the locals feel its a...

Overpriced

This ice cream is pretty good, but definately not the best ice cream I've ever had. And it's too overpriced for average ice cream! However, everytime I've gone, the employees have been very nice. I guess most...

Another Tattoo Factory

The ice cream is ok, but this location is consistently dirty-a real mess. If you need your tattoo viewing fix, check out the employees. While they are filling your order, it is more than odd to see so many...

Inside scoop from former employee

Want to avoid lines at Amy's, try coming at opening hours or during meal hours (11:30am-12:30pm, 5:30-7:00). People say we take a long time to make the ice cream, but we have to interact with every single...

Why go anywhere else when you can support local?

The price, service, tasty ice cream, and support for a local business are the reasons we frequent Amys. Although you can go to other generic companies - why would you when you can support local? I have been to...

Homemade and Yummy

Ice cream does not get better than this. Homemade everyday. The first thing you notice is the smoothness of the texture (this is not soft ice cream however) and the richness of the flavorings. Try the...

it's the theatrics

amy's is as much about austin attitude and theatrics as much as about ice cream. The best way to experience the ice cream is to go for one of the plainer flavors and crush in something complementary. The...

The Best in Austin

Amy's Ice Cream is an Austin original! The scoopers are fun and funny, and the atmosphere is perfect for a family outing or a date. It is NOT a franchise. Each store is unique and serves different flavors at...

The worst handmade ice cream ever...

Amy's ice cream is truly atrocious. I heard good things about it, so I tried it more than once. Each time, I threw it out before finishing it. I've heard that the high butterfat content may be the problem, but...

New Combos are great!

Just went to the Amy's Arboretum on Sunday and I love their new Combo Board! They give you ideas (updated weekly I guess) to mix ice cream and toppings and there is always some new flavor to try! The downsides...

We all scream for ice cream!!!

This is probably one of my favorite places to go in Austin. I've grown up here, and my dad has always taken my brother and I to Amy's. Whenever we have family in town, we always make sure to go to Amy's. It's...

Go for the chocolate

I like Amy's a lot. I go there specifically for the chocolate flavored icecream and the liquor flavored icecream. While they are good, I prefer Marble Slab for more traditional flavors and mixins. But my...

The best, most creative, richest, most decadent ice cream!! The Mexican vanilla has spoiled me- I can't even look at regular vanillas. The hot fudge and chocolate chips are the finest chocolate in town. Let's...

Don't forget that Amy's has containers to go. They always have pistachio, which is the best ice cream that I have ever had. If you have to have a cone, another treat, when they have it, is peanut butter and...

Ben and Jerry's has nothing on Amy's. Many a study break was spent sampling the many homemade flavors at this Austin favorite. Austin's summers wouldn't be the same without the creamy goodness scooped up by...
