"Tonight I finally visited this local ice cream shop and I must say, I had an amazing experience! From the moment I walked up to the window, I was greeted by a friendly staff member named Zorina who immediately made me feel welcome. She was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the flavors and toppings available and gave me some fantastic recommendations.I ended up trying a flavor combination that Zorina suggested and it was absolutely delicious. The ice cream was creamy, rich and had the perfect balance of sweetness. The folded in toppings were fresh and added the perfect amount of crunch and texture.The atmosphere of the shop was also electric. Definitely wanted to sit out on south congress and order a second cone.Overall, I would highly recommend this ice cream shop to anyone looking for a delicious and enjoyable dessert experience. The staff, especially Zorina, went above and beyond to make my visit memorable and I can't wait to go back and try more of their amazing flavors!"

The Oreo flavor is amazing! I also got Rainbow Rock which was delicious. Sweet cream, strawberry, and Belgian chocolate are great for a DIY Neapolitan. I will definitely go back next time I’m in Austin!

Love this cute ice cream shop on South Congress. Ordered the Mexican vanilla ice cream with hot fudge and pecan caramel sauce on top. LOVED it! The pecan caramel sauce was warm and paired well with the ice cream. Still thinking about it, can't wait to get it again! View menu

The sweet cream was so delicious, but the pecans I added lacked any flavor. Roasting them would greatly improve their taste and provide an experience that matches the price point. Also, you would get major bonus points if you had an awning or sunscreen overhead to shield customers from the Texas sun during their wait.

While scootering around on our first day here in Austin on South Congress, we spotted Amy’s right there with a long line of eager customers. The line could have been longer and we would not have known as we dissected the menu and ran mental permutations of infinite crush’n combinations. I ended with mint chip with strawberries crushed in (controversial, I know). She had the chocolate w strawberries. The ice cream was dense, thick, and creamy. A dream.

Food (5/5 stars):Amy's Ice Cream is an Austin staple. They have high quality ice cream with great flavors. We got Mexican Vanilla and Malted Belgian and absolutely loved both of them. I had a slight preference for the Malted Belgian, but the two flavors complemented each other and went so well together. Highly recommend!Experience (5/5 stars): Price: reasonable they give big scoops! Wait Time: minimal on a Monday afternoon Service: very good and friendly. Gave great recs! Ambiance: it's a cute, vibrant shop with just a window and outdoor seating View menu

I was debating which flavor ice cream to get at Amy 's. The cashier recommended the Mexican vanilla, but as I love chocolate I was deciding between the Belgian and dark chocolate flavors... I asked the cashier and he recommended the dark if I want something richer and more chocolate y. Honestly, it was still too sweet for my liking. I rarely don 't finish ice cream, but I could only eat about half my scoop. Also I didn 't get any toppings or crush 'ns ... it seems like a Coldstone type of place where they can mix the toppings into the scoop on a cold stone. Maybe that would 've better balanced the plain scoop of ice cream.Amy 's was walking distance from our dinner spot, I don 't know if I n...

Another solid ice cream spot with an awesome vibe and cool imaginative ice cream creations!Had just polished off some excellent pizza down the street at Home Slice Pizza and decided to stroll and came across Amys ice cream. A line was there, so we had to see what the commotion was.I wanted the avacado ice cream, but they were sold out. Was pretty bummed. So I ordered the mansplain mezican vanilla, biscoff cookies, and butterscotch sauce. I had never had bisscoff cookies before, but they were delicious. A carmel flavored bisquit that was a little thinner and lighter than a normal cookie chunk. The ice cream with the butterscotch reminded me of eating dennys pancake breakfast! It was good.Also...

"I literally just made a review but I’m going to make another one because for whatever reason someone or somehow it got deleted. I used to be a regular at Bouldin and the service was always amazing but my last two visits have been by far horrible. The service has been so poor that I felt disgusted when leaving the restaurant. There are two girls that work there with light brown hair and blue eyes. Pretty sure one of their names is Rego. My boyfriend and I were served by her before and she seemed nothing but annoyed and couldn’t care less if we were in her section. Barley even interacted with us or asked how our meal was and just seemed disgusted by us, just being rude passive aggressive for no reason at all. I’m a server and I KNOW this isn’t how you treat your guests and the same thing happened tonight. She just seemed like she couldn’t care less if we were there and just seemed annoyed? I don’t mind paying the gratuity if I’m being treated decently but that wasn’t the case and I feel as though they feel like they think they can get away with behaving like mean girls just because there’s a gratuity. I have friends that dine here as well and they have had the same experience. I’m not one to write reviews but I feel this needs to come across a managers attention so they know who they are hiring and how they are treating customers. Really disgusted and disappointing and if this gets deleted again I’ll write another review or just call the store to speak to a manager. Disgusted by their behavior."
