Editorial Review for Amy's Ice Cream – by Citysearch Editors
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.

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!
Pros: creative, bright, fun
Cons: line moves slowly, if there's a crowd

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.
Pros: wonderful ice-cream, rotating flavors, many "crush-ins"
