Amy's was amaaaaaazing! Blew my mind how good the Mexican Vanilla is. We got Oreo, which is made with the Mexican Vanilla, and we had to get it twice in our 4ish day stay in Austin. I also tried to Oh Honey, which was a special it seems like. The coffee ice cream was so yummy too. Highly highly highly recommend!! SooOo good. read more

The ice cream here is super tasty and the perfect cold treat for a hot day. They have a variety of unique flavors--I went with the Mexican vanilla and really enjoyed it! I'd describe it as a more cinnamon-y version of normal vanilla. My friends ordered the Vietnamese coffee flavor and were impressed as well. Alongside ice cream, they also offer smoothies. Service here is really friendly and they offer samples, so don't be afraid to ask! The ambiance is super casual; the store is more of a stand and I'd say it's just a grab and go spot. read more

I saw that Amy's had really unique ice flavors, and I was excited to try it. I had their Mexican vanilla and their Rice Krispie. The Rice Krispie definitely interested me as I haven't had it before. I did wish I order something else as both flavors were vanilla based, but I still enjoyed them! read more

Pretty good, place was out of many flavors and bananas by the time I was there. It was late but still, such a bummer. Flavors were good and service was pretty quick. Location was strange as there was houseless people bothering customers. The brownie Sunday was pretty good but not as gooey as I'd hoped.

After walking around a bit, we stopped by Amy's for some ice cream. My mom wasn't in the mood but I got some. I tried a sample of the Cinnamon ice cream and the Rainbow Kitchen Surprise (marshmallow flavored ice cream with crushed biscoff cookies and red velvet cake chunks). Loved both but I ended up with the Rainbow Kitchen Surprise since it was a special flavor. The cake was so good, especially the chunks that had a little frosting on it. I asked for some of the pecan praline sauce on top which was soooo good and went well with the ice cream. They even offer jars of their sauces for purchase. It's a walk up location but we found a bench right up front. Service was very good and I definitely want to stop by there again. read more

Okay call me an ice cream snob, but I was not impressed by Amy's. Granted, I did get a blood orange sorbet, but the ice cream flavors available did not appeal to me. I also thought the ice cream was too sweet and milky-tasting. Even with a line, there's not much of a wait. I also thought it was tacky that they toss the ice cream in the air for a show lol. I'm not much a fan of distraction to compensate for the actual ice cream quality. read more

Ordered: Tiny Sugar Cone with Oreo & Golden Crunch (~$6) Aya's take: We were walking along Congress Avenue on this gorgeous, hot day and decided to stop by Amy's for a little sweet treat. I got the Tiny Sugar Cone which was just the right dessert portion for me and it was great that I got to choose 2 flavors, Oreo and Golden Crunch. Oreo is made with Mexican vanilla and the Golden Crunch is cold press vanilla, Biscoff, and Butterfinger. Both were super smooth, creamy, rich, and actually complemented the flavor profiles of one another. I wish they had some seating or shaded area to enjoy our ice cream since it started melting almost instantly. Great spot and nice staff! read more

Honestly I think I could have gone without the toppings, but if you're into that, they're fine! Very creamy flavor. The line was a bit long but goes by pretty quickly!

After finishing dinner at Lucky Robot next door, we were on the hunt for something sweet to cap off our meal. Enter Amy's Ice Creams--a little window serving up some seriously delicious ice cream! I'm a huge fan of chunky ice cream, and Amy's does not disappoint. I went for the Chocoberry, which has a delightfully light strawberry flavor with a gelato-like texture and is packed with giant fudge chunks. It was heavenly! I got a tiny scoop (just $5.88), and it was the perfect size for me. My boyfriend chose the Mexican vanilla with cookie dough mixed in, and I was pleasantly surprised to see them grab a big scoop of cookie dough and chop it right into the ice cream--just like Cold Stone! It was such a fun touch and insured chunky ice cream. Overall, it was the perfect way to finish off our night. The staff were super cheerful and wonderful, adding to the delightful experience. If you're in the area, definitely stop by Amy's for a sweet treat! read more

I got the small scoop which can be divided into 2 flavors. They were both disappointing. The honey grapefruit sorbet was a little better in that it wasn't overly sweet but there was no tart and icy but it's a sorbet. The Mexican Vanilla was really bad - the texture was such that it felt like there was a lot of xanthan gum. It was more gummy than anything but still had icy pockets too. I couldn't finish it. read more

Stumbled across Amy's while walking on Congress Ave. The line was long and they have dairy free options so I was excited to try. We didn't have to wait too long as they have a good flow. Order at one window and pickup around the corner. I went with vegan Mexican vanilla since Mexican vanilla, Mexican hot chocolate, etc. seems to be popular in ATX. I enjoyed my ice cream, although it was hard not to compare to the popular chain across the street :) and the staff was very friendly. We sat on a bench outside and enjoyed our treat... but beware - the benches are very low. read more

As an ice cream lover, I had to try Amy's while in Austin! The chain's signature flavor is Mexican Vanilla, which I ordered in a Tiny-sized cup with strawberries on top. The ice cream was delicious and very smooth! I would probably try a bolder flavor next time, because the Mexican Vanilla isn't anything to write home about. There is street parking along South Congress Avenue but it fills up fast! I parked in a laid parking garage a few blocks away. read more

Amy's Ice Creams is a staple in Austin, TX and a definite must-try! They have so many flavors and toppings to choose from. Located in the SoCo area of Austin, they are a small shop with window-ordering. Depending on the day and/or time, there could be a line. But it moves pretty quickly and the staff helps keep it going. They give you suggestions if you're unsure what you want or a first timer, and it's a great experience! read more

While walking around Austin, came by Amy's Ice Cream and had heard it was a place to try if you're in the mood for a cold fix. And when is ice cream ever a bad idea outside of those who are lactose intolerant? So we decided to grab a cup Before coming, I had read that their Mexican Vanilla was the flavor to try, and that is exactly what I did. So my question was, what makes it a Mexican Vanilla? Well, when you put it in your mouth, you definitely notice it isn't like any other vanilla you've had, but it is also somewhat familiar in a "have we met before?" kind of way. It's almost like a vanilla bean with a Madagascar vanilla mixed together, but also with a hint of something else. It is familiar yet unique and I was into it. Also true the coffee flavor which has a rich coffee taste that comes through with each bite It's always nice when you have the opportunity to try something unique that you haven't had anywhere else, and that Mexican Vanilla ice cream hit the spot. If you're in the area in Austin, and want some ice cream, head over to Amy's and get yourself a cup read more

On what should've been a glorious day--ordained by the Dog Almighty Himself, or possibly the spiritual equivalent of a hot UCLA sorority girl--we gathered to honor Shane's 38th birthday. A milestone. A monument. A celebration of a man whose legend looms over Austin like a slightly tipsy bat. Nate Gardog & Co bravely ordered what was advertised as an Oreo cake meant to serve 4-5 humans. What arrived, however, was not a cake. It was not even a mini-cake. It was... a cupcake wearing platform shoes. A baked good masquerading as something it clearly was not. The bag was on us, literally and spiritually. Shane--who, need I remind you, is an Austin icon, a man whose culinary preferences are practically carved into the walls of Barton Springs--was forced to confront this fraudulent pastry. And let me tell you: no man deserves this. Not at 38. Not ever. If the staff at Amy's were the true clairvoyants we believed them to be, they would have inherently known Shane's one, true, universal flavor: Funfetti. Classic. Chaotic. Confetti for the soul. Yet here we stood. Funfetti-less. Candle-less. Hope-less. As the final insult, there were no candles. Not even a sad, melted tea light from the back. Nothing to blow out except disappointment. In conclusion: the vibes were off, the cake was tiny, and Shane--our dear, beloved Shane--deserved better. read more

I tried Amy's while I was visiting Austin, and I liked it! Based on the lines I saw, it seems like a popular ice cream destination, and the service was friendly and helpful when I had questions. They offer a variety of flavors, and it took me a minute to choose. I ended up selecting a Mexican vanilla milkshake and adding some chocolate sauce drizzle after the employee mentioned it as an option. I enjoyed the shake, though the drizzle turned out to be a lot more than I expected. If I had to do it all over again, I would get the milkshake without any additions to fully savor the Mexican vanilla flavor.

Lick Honest Ice Creams

Never thought I would be a fan of Americanized ice cream (always way too sweet), but Lick proved me…read morewrong. Touché. The three of us each grabbed three flavors (F, E, D--haha, funny, right?) and rated each one with sugary zeal. Roasted Beets & Fresh Mint (F, E) - delicious, subtly minty, with a very creamy, mild beet flavor. I never had such a refreshing ice cream that wasn't sorbet. The mint really made a difference. I'm a huge fan of places that curate exotic flavors (a vegetable, really?) into their menu, which only increased my opinion of this place. Hill Country Honey & Vanilla Bean (E) - one of the smoothest vanilla bean ice creams I've had. It reminds me of a traditional ice milk soft serve. It wasn't the most impressive vanilla ice cream I've ever had, but it was still very good in its own right. Dark Chocolate, Olive Oil & Sea Salt (E, D) - such a great balance to the sweetness of the rest of the ice cream options. I always love little chunks of salt in sweets to cut through the sugary intensity, so this one was an instant favorite. GOAT Cheese, Thyme, and Honey (E, D) - a complete 100% hit. Probably my top, alongside the beets. My BFF said it tasted too much like a meal rather than a dessert and couldn't give it a high rating, but as a charcuterie fan, I know there are plenty of "dessert" cheeses. I mean... cream cheese, for example? But is that really a cheese...? Uhhh. Very Strawberry (F) - a clean strawberry flavor. A bit artificial, but still so great. It far outweighed the Sweet Cream w. Strawberry flavor we tasted later. Cookies & Cream (F) - I never liked cookies & cream before, but this changed my mind. It hits so hard when you get a full spoonful. Probably the only cookies & cream I would eat. My BFF's #1. Chocolate Chocolate (F) - love chocolate? Get this. That's all you need to know. Coffee & Cream (D) - oooh, reminds me of the keto coffee ice cream I had once. Would get again. Coffee notes are always great in ice cream. Was this a STRONG standout? No. But did it do its job? Yes. Sweet Cream w. Strawberry (D) - too creamy for me, not enough strawberry. My top flavors by far are: 1) Roasted Beets & Fresh Mint, 2) GOAT Cheese, Thyme, and Honey, and 3) Dark Chocolate, Olive Oil & Sea Salt. All three were unique flavors that I would absolutely get again. We sat on the little barstools watching the line get progressively longer as the night went on. It was really interesting to see how many people came in for a sweet treat at 11 PM. The atmosphere was pleasant, parking was pretty easy, and while it never got too crowded, the place was surprisingly popular.

Quite busy at 8:15PM on a Sunday! About ten people ahead of us and only two people working so it took about 10-15mins with people asking for samples and such. While we were there, it was always a packed line so it definitely gets really busy from 8-9PM! We got three larges for a total of twelve flavors, a little bit of overlap: Mine: Dark Chocolate Olive Oil and Sea Salt - Really liked this, the bitter saltiness offset the creaminess really well. Coffee with Cream - A very light but roasty coffee, like a light coffee. I liked this!; Goat Cheese, Thyme and Honey - The herbal flavor is more subtle than I expected! Not too sweet, liked this one Sweet Cream & Strawberry - this one didn't stand out much to me Others: Roasted Beets and Fresh Mint - I really liked this one! The beets and mint hit on the back of your tongue, yum Chocolate Chocolate - Very intense chocolate, not too crazy about it though Cookies & Cream - Surprisingly good! I liked this one Very Strawberry - way more strawberry than the sweet cream. I'd recommend this over the sweet cream and strawberry Hill Country Honey & Vanilla Bean - Pretty light, a classic. Thought it was okay. If I had a tier list it would be: 1) Coffee with Cream 2) Goat Cheese 3) Dark Chocolate Olive Oil 4) Roasted Beets and Mint 5) Cookies & Cream 6) Very Strawberry 7) Vanilla Bean 8) Chocolate Chocolate 9) Sweet Cream & Strawberry Overall, a few hits, a few misses, but it was a fun tasting experience. We paid via inKind with no issues, which made it a pretty solid value.

I love that they care to do this! Not May businesses put forth the effort!

I opted for mint chocolate chip ice cream on the regular chocolate chip cookies- it hit the spot. Only down side is the price point but guess that's expected in the Austin metro area. Ended up spending $35 with tip for the three of us (2 bowls and a sandwich).

Located on 6th Street, Jim Jim's is surprisingly accessible with parking spots available out front and just around the corner. It's not a sitdown place so keep that in mind for your stop, but the line does move fast and they are very efficient. There's a good variety of flavors and things they serve from italian ice to ice cream and shakes. We opted for a strawberry italian ice with condensed milk on top. From the first bite we were in heaven. The flavor is very thorough which is not always the case for Italian ices where it can sometimes be a bit muted. Every single bite of this was packed with flavor. They also carve out a bit of the middle to put the condensed milk which makes every bite much more equal than if it was just placed at the top. This was by far one of, if not the best, Italian ices we've ever had. We would very much recommend it to anyone in the Downtown area looking to cool off.

Just to be clear, I AM somewhat of a subject matter expert. I have eaten all manner of fried dough creations from coast to coast, including Hawaii, and I have a lot to say on the topic. My favorite is still Cider Belly in Albany, NY, but I digress. The PB&J donut here is one of the best things I have ever eaten. I dragged it out for 3 days. Even semi-stale, and reheated in the microwave, it was still delicious. I put a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream on it which definitely helped. I also ordered a Heavenly Hash (one of my favorite ice cream flavors BTW) and a Naughty and Nice because I am all about the classics. They were both outstanding. No leftovers. I bought these donuts in lieu of birthday cake this year which may become my new tradition. Honestly, I think these are my new favorite donuts in Austin now.

Doughnuts made to order out of an airstream, you say?…read more Looks like they used to offer mini versions but that side of the menu is all mask taped over. When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

First time bring here and the waiter recommended these items. I feel like I ordered the wrong items, or maybe a Texas Hash is not my type of breakfast food.

The egg was cook to perfection, the biscuit was dry though, and the gravy was a bit weird. It was more like a dressing than gravy. 3/5 Texas hash was sweet potatoes and pulled pork in what I can guess is like a curry sauce with lime, cilantros. I wouldn't order this again, we ate like 1/2 of it and didn't even togo home. I was expecting more like... breakfast sweet potatoes with a side of pulled pork, didn't expect that it was all mixed in and mashed together. 5/5 free rice Krispies, this was amazing. Probably the best home made rice Krispies I had in my life. Overall I need to comeback to try something else. Also the water here was good, didn't taste like Austin city water.

Sammie's has been hyped up on social media for a long time and I gotta say it's still underrated! I will gladly have Sammie's take the Pepsi challenge against red sauce joints in NYC/NJ etc. In fact, I've told friends and family that I am going to take them to Sammie's when they visit from there. We just had such a fantastic experience - everything..the vibe..the red light fixtures and the color of the booths and the floor..the service - our server was great..loved their outfits..really had an old school little italy feel to it. The food was much better than I even anticipated - as a guy who grew up on NJ diner mozzarella sticks, I have a high bar for them and these were magnificent. And seriously...taking the "everything's bigger in Texas" slogan and applying them to mozzarella sticks?! top 10 achievements of the decade. The chicken parm was perfect - well seasoned, proper amount of crisp..the basil on top...the perfect browning of the cheese. Also the lasanga was excellent..and best part - the leftovers..took it home and the next two days put them in a small cast iron and re-heated them..and the magic was right there in my hill country kitchen! Lastly and certainly not least - the cannoli...just look at the photo below.. I'll say, yes, the place is pricey but you can really easily split these entrees and then it becomes cheaper than a jersey strip center Italian joint.
