    Creamiest ice ever and the most interesting flavors! They were most out of their ice cream when I visited, but I could snag a pint of the milk tea flavor!

    Best ice cream I've ever had in Austin, and I've lived here for over 20 years! Everything about the experience was amazing. The ice cream packed intense flavors, and I could really tell that the quality of ingredients was really high. It also had the most perfect, luscious texture - not icy, not too fluffy or dense.. honestly just exactly what I want from ice cream. I tried 3 flavors (Dial C for Cookie, Bergamot Cheesecake, and Chocolate Peppermint), and they were all great! Next time I will be more adventurous - there's some pretty wild sounding flavors on the rotating menu. Another big plus was that the owner is super nice and friendly. He was very accommodating to my nut allergy and even hand washed the scoop for me. He's also the guy making all the ice cream and the individual ingredients inside (like the cookies), doing the cleaning, and even taking out the trash! Big respect. All in all, a 10/10 experience. Can't wait to be back!!

    We've been here twice in the span of two months so I feel like that is saying something! My only thing is they do have weird hours so check before you go. They always have atleast one rotating flavor that is worth a try. The Oreo Miso is a fan favorite for a reason and sells out fast. I've also tried the Persian Honeycomb which is so delicious with the cardamom and saffron. They had a raspberry lychee sorbet when we went that had really strong lychee flavor. My second time they happened to have a matcha popsicle that had such a strong matcha flavor with bits of matcha candy mixed in. We will be back to try their rotating flavors!

    For a special treat, this is the ice cream truck that stands out. Every flavor sounds like an amazing trip of flavors. I tried the Turkish honeycomb, which was the exact treat I needed to end a hard day. One scoop was enough for me, but I would want more if the weather was hotter. My friend ordered the peach cheesecake, which was exactly what you would hope for in a cheesecake ice cream. I will get that one and more scoops next time.

    Merry Monarch Merry Monarch's was just incredible I was looking for a new ice cream place and was so happy I tried this. The ice cream is soft and so rich in flavor but not loaded with ingredients. It's the perfect ratio. I was recommended to try the Cantelope Crumble and it was impeccable - the slight crunch and brush of cantaloupe flavor was the perfect ratio. 12/10 I also had the Persian Honeycomb & Oreo Miso which were also so tasty Overall, amazing ice cream and you can talk directly with the owner!

    This is not your traditional ice cream truck. They have flavors that you will not find anywhere else, and they are all absolutely delicious! Each guest gets to sample two flavors (which keeps the line short). I ended up ordering the Oreo Miso and Persian Honeycomb in the half scoop size, and this was still more than enough. Amazingly, the more subtle tastes like the miso and saffron came through in each bite! They were not overpowered by the main flavor at all. The worker serving the ice cream was extremely friendly as well. The truck is located in a food truck park, making it an easy dessert choice after dinner. Plus, it is relatively low-priced compared to other ice cream spots for the quality of ingredients. One of the best ice cream spots I've ever visited!

    Greg of Merry Monarch is truly dedicated to his craft. The only ice cream place in Austin with such unique and exciting flavors- it is a good problem to have when you spend too long trying to decide what flavors to get. Good thing you can get two flavors with the split scoop ($7). Greg is continuously working on bringing new flavors to the game, which sometimes depends on the seasonality of the ingredients. Probably my favorite ice cream in Austin. The food truck is located in a food truck park, and has a shared parking lot with the other businesses. It can get crowded during busy times so you may have to find parking elsewhere. There is outdoor seating available in the food truck parking lot.

    Dial C for Cookie & Bergamot Cheesecake
    Diana S.

    Wow was I impressed with this place!! We came here close to closing but the owner was very patient and friendly, explaining the two flavors that I ended up getting (Dial C for Cookie & Bergamot Cheesecake) in a lot of detail. You can tell he's knowledgeable and passionate about what he does just by the way he talked about his ice cream! He makes everything by himself and puts so much energy and care into it (he even bakes all the cookies in the ice cream from scratch!!). Now for the ice cream itself, I have nothing but good things to say. The texture was oh so good--creamy but not too creamy, soft but not too soft, honestly my ideal ice cream texture. The flavors were deep and complex, with many elements working together to make for an amazing taste experience. Props to the owner for making delicious ice cream, treating his customers so well, and running the whole operation by himself! This is now my go-to ice cream in Austin.

    Who knew you could get some of the best ice cream in Austin from a food truck? Merry Monarch is absolutely worth visiting. I really enjoyed my scoop of wild blueberry ripple. The owner was super nice. He made sure to get a scoop with pockets of the compote that burst in your mouth. The ice cream was rich and smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. I'll be back to try their other flavors!

    Oreo miso, Persian honeycomb, coffee & toast
    Adiba O.

    this might be the best ice cream I've ever had. Every single flavor is unique, creamy, and unforgettable. The Oreo miso is delicious, the persian honeycomb has actual honeycombs in it, coffee & toast has toast pieces that add the perfect crunch. It is clear that the ice cream flavors were thoughtfully created! And the service is extremely friendly and positive. Try any flavor and you won't be disappointed!!!!

    We found out about Merry Monarch Creamery while visiting Tsuke Edomae restaurant. Chef Mike served us their Oreo miso chocolate ice cream, and directed us to drop in if we wanted to try other flavours. Of course we took up on that offer and showed up to their ice cream shop/truck. Chef Greg Maze was very welcoming, and served us his olive oil sundae, and morello cherry sorbet. The flavours were both savoury, creamy, and perfect balance of sweetness. I couldn't get over how lovely the olive oil sundae was with hints of rosemary. Since we were also visiting from Houston, we took back pints of the Oreo miso chocolate, fig Madeira, and coffee with cherries in a cooler with ice packs. Can't wait to visit them again soon! A must go if you are visiting Austin!

    This place was wonderful. Came here after eating at another truck in the lot for dinner. The gal that helped us let me try two different types of ice cream. The flavors are so unique! I had one scoop but split between two different kinds. I had the Persian honeycomb which has cardamom. The crunch from the candy was cool. I also had hazelnut tiramisu. Both were delicious and I would definitely get them again. I thought the price for $5 scoop was good for such unique flavors. They serve the ice cream with a wooden spoon not plastic - love this Highly recommend checking this place out off you like different unique flavors

    POG Cheesecake
    Edwyn A.

    Yummy and unique creamy ice cream flavors. There was a Dine with Maui fundraiser and they had POG Cheesecake and Tigers Blood Sorbet as their special flavors. I got there a little bit before 6 thinking that there wouldn't be a line since they had just opened 30 minutes earlier and it was 105 degrees outside but I was wrong. The line went pretty quickly though. Service is pretty quick and you get your scoops right after you order so there is no extra waiting. I got the POG Cheesecake; which is an interpretation of the POG drink - Passion Fruit, Guava, and Orange in this creme fraiche cheesecake ice cream. It even came with a sprinkle of guava dust and ripples of Orange curd. This is some good stuff. The price is about $5 for a single scoop which isn't a huge portion but just enough. They have a double for about $8 and you can even get a 1/2 scoop for $3. If you have kids, there's a playscape right next to the truck as well.

    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.

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.
