Amy's Ice Cream

Six locations in Austin

Serving up comic wit and irreverence along with luscious, high-butter-fat scoops of ice cream, Amy's is a quintessentially Austin institution. The Mexican Vanilla with strawberry Crush'ns is a good place to start, but Amy's whimsical roster of rotating flavors runs the gamut from Coffee Toffee to Shiner Bock. They also carry fruit ices for the non-dairy crowd. Just remember to bring cash or a local check because Amy's currently doesn't take American Express or any other credit card.
