    It has been over 100 degrees outside, so it was a convenient location for us. Seating is limited, but they have some really tasty gelato. We've been there a couple of times because it's been so hot and we wanted something cold. The younger staff members were very nice and friendly. We'd definitely stop by again, mainly because of the convenient location, but also because the gelato is pretty good.

    This is a delayed post. Not sure why since I went there 3 times in May. Two of the visits were in the same week. The gelato is that good! Pistachio is a must try, and the coconut is a next. I got them together and separately. Serving are generous. The staff were patient while I reviewed the many choices. They even offered samples.

    I was really craving ice cream that evening and a couple of us had some time to kill. We waited for almost an hour bc the line was so long. Was it worth it? Yes! The flavors are great and lots of options to choose from. A huge fan of strawberry flavored gelato and they 4-5 strawberry options. They also have some not as sweet gelato options as well. The gelato shop is small w/ limited seating so if you grabbed a seat, consider yourself pretty lucky!

    I wish their menu included the flavors. Or I wish they had a flavor list at the front of the line. It's kind of hard to have to wait to see all the flavors for the first time when the workers are waiting to take your order. There is a sheet that lists a bunch of flavors, but it includes a lot of flavors that they don't even have available so it just seems a little useless. That being said, they did have a lot of interesting flavors that looked good. But Frost gelato is definitely on the sweeter side and price is on the expensive side. Workers are super sweet though!

    Today Austin was sizzling at 95 degrees. While tooling around the Domain shopping center I needed a refreshing treat so I dropped by Frost Gelato since it was relatively close. It was not an original idea because the place had a queue about 30+ people deep when I got there and about 15 people when I left. I had to make a split second decision to stay or go. I went inside where it was nice and cool so decided to wait it out. Surprisingly, the line went pretty fast as they had two servers. One of Frost's customers pointed me to their website regarding information regarding the composition of gelato, which I found super interesting. Thought I would share it with you... "Translated from Italian, (jeh-lot-o) literally means frozen. Although gelato is a frozen dessert, the word does not begin to describe its immense flavor and texture. Gelato is often compared to ice cream because it is a frozen, creamy product, but there are actually many differences. Unlike American ice cream, which contains 10-20% butterfat, gelato contains anywhere from 3-8% butterfat. The United States Department of Agriculture has designated that any product under 10% cannot legally be called ice cream. As a result, gelato will never be able to take the ice cream name. Gelato is able to keep the low percentages of butterfat because we only use 3% milk instead of cream, raw eggs and butter in our production. Another feature of gelato that separates itself from American ice cream is the amount of air that is incorporated into the product. Most American style ice creams incorporate anywhere from 75%-100% of air. Gelato, however, incorporates a maximum of 20%. As a result, the gelato flavors are intensified because the butterfat acts as a dam and dilutes or blocks the flavors. What does all of this information mean? Simply, that gelato is the most intense, silky, dense, cool, and flavorful "ice cream style" product that will hit your lips. The flavor is simply indescribable. An added bonus: because of all these factors, gelato is much." I sampled two flavors - sea salted caramel and black cherry and landed on sea salted caramel. While gelato is somewhat healthy, I got the smallest cup (trying to cut back on sugar and carbs, where I can). The gelato was good, but did not compare to gelato I have eaten in Italy.

    Possibly the best gelato I've ever had. I was torn between the toasted almond, espresso, and peanut butter, but went with the peanut butter--and it was incredible. So fluffy, creamy, and perfectly rich without being too heavy. Already planning my next visit.

    10/10 for this location Outside seating area, you can also walk (domain is very walkable) inside the shop the tables are almost always full, but it is a good atmosphere. A little loud and hectic but all ages (old and babes) You can try different samples and the servers are patient! I've tried ice creams/gelatos/frozen yogurts and this is my OG because of its thick consistency, variety in flavors (can't get tired) and how much they serve you.

    Great service! Quick and easy to go in and get what you want. Samples offered.My favorite is the lotus biscoff flavor! So good! Smooth, light, and creamy texture! You can sit inside or outdoors. A nice treat that's not too sweet. Different size options available as well.

    Delicious! A flavor for everybody! When shopping The Domain, it's a refresher to stop for gelato!

    Peanut butter and chocolate ice cream

    I went to this gelato place in The Domain and I loved it. I ordered for a waffle and they made it fresh that you get it a bit warm, so good! The chocolate and peanut butter were really good and full of flavor. The place is nice, small but if you are lucky you get to find a spot outside. The service was also nice, I really recommend it

    Came here for the first time after our dinner! Great place to be after meals! We had some samples and we just loved the flavors of gelato here! What I like about this place is their mild sweetness! I had pistachios and peanut ones!! Sooo good! Come get it!!!

    What a sad ice cream parlor. I've never been to any place with worse customer service. Every single person ahead of us was allowed any sample they wanted. When it was my groups turn to get samples we were told we can only taste two flavors. How the heck are you supposed to choose what you want when there are 20 some flavors and you can only taste 2 to determine what you want. I didn't end up getting anything due to the employees comment. But my friends did and ice cream was mid. Here's menu pics so you can decide what you want before you go there since it'll be limited tastings.

    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 would NOT eat Amy's under any circumstances. To be clear, I've only been once. Ambience leaves much to be desired, but the ice cream which is the main event does not even taste good. It has about 3 to 4 times as much sugar as it actually needs. In fact, I was physically ill from eating it. Not only does the ice cream itself taste too sugary in the flavors are too cloyingly sweet, but they then want to mix in additional candies and sugar items which blows my mind. I humored them and tried an ice cream with mix ins and was greatly underwhelmed. Everyone who likes Amy's raves about the Mexican vanilla but honestly, that is also way too sweet and tastes like drinking vanilla extract. I can only surmise that there are a lot of folks with unsophisticated palates in Austin, otherwise there would not be so many positive reviews and this place would not be in business. On top of it the whole mixing thing so gimmicky and annoying it just makes the lion go way longer. Anyone who thinks this is great has not ventured out and tried anything else because they're literally 10 other ice cream places that I can think of that are actually great. Looking forward to the day that this place churns to become something else that's actually tasty because it's prime real estate.

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.
