    This was my first time visiting Zeds Real Fruit Ice Cream in East Austin. When I arrived at 11:30 pm, they were not serving ice cream. It appears Noon is the bewitching hour for serving ice cream at this Zed location. I had only been to the Zed's in Tarrytown, which does not serve coffee. I ordered a white blond, which was a latte. The latte was Luke warm and lacked flavor, so I had hazelnut flavoring added. It still was not appealing. I only drank about half of the latte and threw the remaining amount away. There were some mothers and children having a play date in the outdoor area.

    Real fruit ice cream! Very tasty and super fresh- they did get one of our flavors wrong and instead of giving blueberry- we got black berry- my daughter said it was still good so we didn't switch it out, but she ended up stealing my banana pudding ice cream and I was stuck with hers :( the line went quickly, the parking can be a mess here because it's smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood- with the other food trucks surrounding it... we found street parking 2 streets away so it wasn't a far walk..

    Zeds Ice Cream is phenomenal! Came here around 8 PM on a Monday night and there was quite the crowds of ice-cream enthusiasts waiting to get their ice cream. Parking here is a bit limited but there is plenty of street parking available in the immediate area. The ice cream selection is unique: Pick your size, ice cream flavor (one fruit flavor mixed with either regular or dairy-free vanilla), then you add your desired drizzles and toppings. I ordered the Waffle Cone with strawberry flavor, chocolate + peanut butter drizzles, and cookie dough bites + Oreo toppings. It was quite the size and packed a punch! The wait is about 10-ish minutes after you place your order. There are plenty of picnic styled benches to sit and enjoy your ice cream. Highly recommend!

    This place was amazing!! The ice cream is so unique, nothing like I've ever had before. I loved how light the flavoring was. It didn't feel too sweet, and the flavor tasted very fresh. The workers are very quick and efficient! Strawberry: This flavor was my favorite. There are small strawberry bits inside, which added a nice texture. It wasn't a strong strawberry flavor, but it was so refreshing. The ice cream also had a light creaminess to it.

    Finally got to experience zeds after hearing about it for months. The ice cream tasted very fresh and I enjoyed the cheesecake bites. Theres always a line but it moves quickly and there are plenty of places to sit in the area. Great spot for a late night treat.

    YUMMMMYYYY Returning customers and we love bringing our out of town guests here! Menu is simple: size, fruit, base, and toppings. The fresh fruit is blended directly into the ice cream. They also have a rotating special mixes at the bottom of their menu. Order is simple: line up in the side walk and order at the window. They only have outdoor seating. Limited parking in the front but there is free neighborhood street parking

    I've heard great things about Zed's real fruit ice cream. It's a little stand with outdoor picnic bench seating only, so we were huddled and shivering in the rain while enjoying our ice cream. I got a cup of the blackberry crumble, which comes with blackberry ice cream, graham cracker crumbs, and caramel drizzle. The first two thirds of the ice cream were delicious, then the last third didn't have much flavour and tasted really milky. I got a small cup for $6.50, and it came with more ice cream than I expected. My friends got the banana milkshake with chocolate, and it definitely tasted very banana-y without much of a chocolate taste.

    Such a fun unique twist on ice cream. I love the incorporation of fruit into the ice cream base. Tastes so fresh. I chose the blackberry base with chocolate sauce and toasted coconut. I love a fruit and chocolate pairing so this was a perfect combo. Perfect light girl dinner on vacation.

    Stumbled upon this spot 3 years ago and fell love. I'm so stoked to see them getting the recognition they deserve. I love the blackberry ice cream but you honestly can't go wrong. Vibes are on point and the staff is always a good time. 10/10 Real Ice Cream

    Banana pudding
    Kim H.

    Always our favorite. I like getting their seasonal special flavors. Husband always gets the dairy free option. Order at the counter and comes out relatively quick. I've never eaten at the food trucks as it's always a stop after dinner or a mid afternoon snack

    Strawberry with coconut flakes

    I love this concept - fresh fruit with a base ice cream flavor and toppings. There's a variety of fruit to choose from such as banana, blueberry, strawberry, etc. For the base, they have regular vanilla or dairy free vanilla. The fruit and base combine to become a delicious soft serve. There are a ton of toppings and drizzles to choose from. I ordered the strawberry with vanilla ice cream and toasted coconut flakes, which was a fantastic combo. This was perfect for a hot summer day! My friends and I loved it. One of my friends ordered his ice cream with a waffle cone and it was so good! The waffle cone is fresh, thick, and vanilla-y. I would definitely try the other flavors next time! Highly recommend Zeds for ice cream.

    The line is daunting, but it goes by quickly! There's a reason Zeds is always so crowded - it's worth the hype. It's nice to have a slightly more healthy option for a desert especially for a city that's pretty health conscious. Also, there's a closed in space for small kids to play and a ton of picnic tables to sit and eat.

    great location in East Austin
    Kimberley R.

    Absolutely delicious! I love the fruit infused soft serve with toppings of your choice concept. Probably my favorite ice cream place in all of Austin. I've always been a fan of soft serve, this place is one of the best! I can't wait to try their milkshake at my next visit.

While exploring the many museums across the University of Texas campus, a quick caffeine break was needed for my girlfriend and we were overwhelmed by the number of options on The Drag. It makes sense that there are plenty of places to choose from because of the large number of UT students. Everyone needs a little coffee in their lives. One of the highest reviewed ones with a large pool of ratings was Lucky Lab Coffee and after checking a few quick reviews, we decided to give it a chance. Lucky Lab has five locations in Austin (four on campus) and one location in Dripping Springs. The one we were at off The Drag was their flagship. This location serves a little bit of everything from sandwiches to pastries, salad to quiche, and of course, coffee. As we walked inside the flagship, it is easy to notice how tight the space is. There is very little seating inside at their bar, but they make up for it with plenty of shaded outdoor space that is perfect for a nice day. Scanning their menu, we landed on some drinks from their winter menu. I was intrigued by their Pomegranate Rosemary Latte while my girlfriend tried their Ginger Spice Mocha. We got them both iced. First, it is interesting to see the fusion of pomegranate and rosemary in a latte. I was intrigued by those flavors. Their drink sizes are 12 oz, 16 oz, and 20 oz, each adding an additional 50 cents to each upgrade. All milk alternatives cost 1 dollar. It was only a short wait to get our coffees and the cup with the little lab on it was cute. I think specialty drinks have an opportunity to be amazing and one of a kind or the worst drink imaginable. This pomegranate rosemary latte did not fall into either category exactly, but leaned more toward the latter. I love pomegranates and I always appreciate how earthy rosemary can be in a coffee. One of my favorite lattes I have ever had has rosemary in it. This was just not working for me. I shamefully did not finish my coffee. As for my girlfriend, she did not like her ginger spice mocha. I could not imagine gingerbread syrup not working in a mocha, but after trying it myself it was not for me either. It seems like a perfect match, but here the gingerbread is competing with the chocolate and instead of complementing each other they clash. She told me that the flavors were "un-mocha like". She drank less than half of her coffee before tossing it as well. Neither of us wanted to dislike Lucky Lab. They seem well established and I felt like they were trustworthy based on reviews, but I wonder what these previous reviewers were tweaking on or what magical concoction of coffee granted from heaven above they were sipping on because we were distraught by how disappointing these drinks were. I would like to give Lucky Lab Coffee Co the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe the specialty drinks were not up to par with their traditional beverages. However, the almost 30 different syrup options on their wall make me feel they lack a little focus and try too hard to stand out. They lose what makes a coffee good, which is coffee. I want to say I will give them a second shot in the future to see if it was just an off day or a bad beverage pick. Too many shots turns a Lucky Lab into Old Yeller. The lab needs to be put on a leash before I think about returning. RIYL: options

We've been wanting to check out this shop for quite sometime and finally had the chance. From the minute we walked in the door the vibe was on! Our barista, Litsa was incredible! She was fun and bouncy and had so much positive energy. She even helped me create a concoction of sorts. Like most, lavender is my go-to. But, I also wanted toasted marshmallow and so I was torn. She suggested a combo of the two for my cappuccino (with oat milk of course). Wow! It was spectacular. I was so beyond miserable when I walked in the door (the rain) and she turned things around for me within 30 seconds of interacting. Her positivity and kindness were through the roof! My cappuccino concoction...so good I think it should be a menu feature! The banana guard iced latte my boyfriend got was equally as delicious. It was like an ice cream treat for grown-ups. Everything about the shop is so welcoming. Warm lighting, comfortable seating, and spacious. So much for the eye to take in as they have offerings from local artists and craftspeople for sale. A mini store if you will. All lined neatly on wall hanging shelves. They've got candles, pottery, jewelry, clothing, etc. All the goodies you'd expect to find at a gift and craft, artisan shop. Fitting since the drinks they put out are liquid art. Since it's about a ten-minute walk from home, it'll definitely be a new stop when going to the pet store. Wonderful experience on a dreary day.

This place is full vegan and tip free (as is included in the price) I got a dirty chai latte with oat milk. It tasted very natural, like the oatmeal was handmade or something. Very natural and creamy. The inside was very colorful, decorated, with many shops from artists in the Austin area. There was plenty of seating. The only thing is that it is very pricy and I didn't get an itemized receipt in the text, so I'm not sure exactly how much the drinks, tax, and tip were. I liked this place, and would come back in the future!
