What People Are Saying About Amy's Ice Cream

The Owner

Amy's Ice Cream

Owner

The meat, or should I say the milk of the matter, is the consistently delectable product and the zany antics of the scoopers behind the counter. The creamy dreamy 14 percent butterfat treat is music to the mouth of ice-cream connoisseurs and novices alike. Amy never compromises on quality ingredients, and is always open to new flavor suggestions. The folks behind the counter are dedicated to pleasing the senses not otherwise occupied with delicious dairy goodness. Amy looks at "going to get ice cream" as a total experience that should be the brightest part of our customer's day. To accomplish this, Amy hires people based on the paper bag test. The paper bag test? What the heck is that, you say? Each prospective employee is handed a white paper bag and told to "be creative." This process ensures that our employees will never hesitate to go that extra mile to put a smile on YOUR face.

In Short
Amy's Ice Cream has been a tradition since Amy Miller opened the first shop in 1984. With such unique flavors as Mexican vanilla, sweet cream and, for the truly Texan, Shiner Bock, there's an ice cream concoction here for everyone. On warm evenings, a crowd of families and couples gather and the murmur of friendly chit-chat can be heard over the sound of paddles beating candy or cookie mix-ins into ice cream scoops.

Amy's Ice Cream is a Austin tradition. Great thick ice cream, great flavors and reasonably priced. The location downtown is the original, but if you can't make it downtown this one is just as good. Nice atmosphere.

I was in Austin for business last month and read about Amy's Ice Cream in several guide books. I made a special trip to the 6th street location, almost making myself late for my plane home, but it was worth it! Mexican Vanilla with prailine sauce - oh my god. And then, lo and behold, there was a branch at the airport!

Amy's has by FAR the best ice-cream I have EVER had, and I've had all kinds of ice-cream. The "Elvis" (Mexican vanilla with banana and a reese's peanut butter cup) is great. Also be sure to try any Pumpkin flavors during the holiday season! In response to another reviewer who claimed the ice-cream did not melt: good quality ice-cream doesn't melt quickly at all. Only ice-cream made without very much fat (generally considered lower quality ice-cream) will melt quickly. If you don't like rich ice-cream then Amy's probably isn't the place for you, but otherwise it's great.
