Ice cream parlor · Austin, TX · Since 1984

The overview

Trick-catching scoops and Mexican vanilla since 1984.

Amy's Ice Creams has been an Austin ritual since 1984, when Amy Simmons opened a shop where scoopers toss ice cream in the air and smash your chosen toppings — the "crush'n" — into rich Mexican Vanilla and a rotating cast of flavors. The theatrics behind the counter are as beloved as the ice cream itself.

Grown to shops across Texas but still family-run and unmistakably Austin, Amy's is the 2025 Centurion Award winner.

What they're known for

  • Mexican Vanilla
  • The "crush'n" mix-in
