Kosuke HataFebruary 16, 2014This place is cray. Get the Rico. Mexican vanilla ice cream with strawberry and graham crackers. Mmmmmmmmm delicious. Also they throw ice cream at you for fun!- Henry TruongApril 8, 2013I had Charles make me a creative concoction of his choice with my only prerequisites being coconut inside and berries on top. Beyond being entertaining and funny watching him make it, it tasted superb
Food NetworkMarch 8, 2012Featuring 300 rotating flavors of ice cream that are full of 14-percent butter fat, Giada checks out "Texas Dirt Cake" - chocolate cheesecake ice cream filled with Oreo cookie chunks.
Curt R.July 31, 2013An Austin institution and must visit. My fave is Sweet Cream mixed with strawberries and junior mints. Great prices, fun staff, excellent people watching and prime location downtown.- Ang Shove.inkDecember 27, 2012Bee Cave Crunch ice cream = yum! That plus hula hoops and a photo booth make this scoop shop a *must* while in Austin!
Jackie MannJuly 4, 2017Amy's is great, although the line can get a bit long sometimes. The Mexican Vanilla is one of the best ice cream flavors I've ever had.
Gaby BelleAugust 4, 2013You get free ice cream here if you do the Flying Ice Cream Challenge where they literally throw a ball of ice cream across the street and you to catch it!! Try It!!
Ray LopesAugust 28, 2016Best ice cream in town! They handle, chrunch and mix the toppings like if the ice cream would never melt. Delicious!
Dave KornreichOctober 15, 2015More than just ice cream, delicious ice cream concoctions, with mix-ins, syrups, and toppings. Yummy!
Social News NetworkJune 3, 2012Ask an employee for a street toss - they'll toss the ice cream across Sixth Street to you, and if you catch it in a cup, it's free! If you don't catch it, it's still free. Entertainment & free Amy's!- Jacob AmesJuly 4, 2015Great ice cream and amazing combos. They prepare it right on front of you. Kinda exemplifies "Austin weird".
Alyson AdairAugust 31, 2012Try the Mexican vanilla with Oreo! And check out the photo booth, but be warned! It's quick, so get ready!
Jen KnoedlJune 4, 2012Any of the many locations will do. Try all the flavors and then order Mexican Vanilla with Strawberries
Maryann MercadoFebruary 9, 2013Girls behind the counter are awesome! Love the tricks and the beats they make with the spoons.
exfmFebruary 23, 2012It can get real hot in Austin so Amy's homemade ice cream is the perfect cool down. Did we mention the flavors change daily?!
The Austin Grand PrixDecember 30, 2011It's hot and you're a little crabby: cool off with Amy's delicious ice creams and interact with employees who never take their job *too* seriously. We love "The Elvis."
A.HakanJuly 20, 2013They are mixing regular ice creams with various products. I liked the bloody sword
The scoops do more tricks at this location than most others! Makes it extra entertaining!
Katherine M.June 10, 2014Lots of locations. You have to get the Mexican vanilla. This is no ordinary vanilla ice cream.
Trey SullivanJuly 31, 2012Brown cow milkshake with cinnamon. $5 shake. They don't put bourbon in it or nothin. But it's worth it.
Lovely place! Very well polite and funny atendents.
SoundCloudMarch 4, 2012Mmmm...homemade icecream! Try the mexican vanilla + strawberries + graham cracker. It is delicious!
Wade AdairAugust 31, 2012Jump in the phot booth from the 19th Century. But be quick it starts as soon as your money goes in.
Corey WardJanuary 19, 2010If you're coming through Austin you've gotta try Amy's Ice cream. It's a local Austin place with lots of Austin flair. I recommend the Mexican Vanilla!
Hofrat | Clemens SchusterNovember 10, 2012Best icecream in town - served by weird ppl - hot recommendation!
Christen DuongMarch 11, 2012Mex con olio (mexican vanilla and olive oil) with strawberries is a classy combo
Amy's Ice CreamsJanuary 30, 2012Take a photo with your sweetie in the old-fashion photobooth! Extra points for a kiss perfectly centered in the frame!
SaraJune 26, 2013Take the apron if he offers it to you before the icecream to you or you'll be wearing it. ; )
Julio VelasquezJuly 5, 2011The Mexican Vanilla is worth the trip to Austin no matter where you're from! Read more
