50 Best Ice Cream Shops near West Lake Hills

“I just wanted to leave a review and let everyone know that the amazing employee, Sarah, at the Pinkberry Westbank (3300 Bee Caves Road, Westlake Hills, TX 78746) location was an absolute angel! She was amazing and went above and beyond during our visit on 3/1/25!! She had such a great attitude and did a fantastic job handling our large order that included a regular & large yogurt as well as a few Take Home Yogurts since we are from San Antonio! As she was helping us with our order, about 4-5 customers walked in. She was calm, fast, efficient, and all with a smile on her face. She knocked out everyone’s orders while providing a great experience. This is our favorite Frozen Yogurt and Pinkberry location and we love to drive to Austin when we can because we love the great service and amazing yogurt. Sarah is definitely a one of a kind employee and I hope you all appreciate her and take care of her. Thank you Sarah for such a wonderful experience!! You rock!!“

“Best ice cream in Austin hands down! They create the most incredible flavor combinations and haven’t let me down once. Also located at meanwhile so you can have a beer and get ice cream which is a win win. They also have a trio of scoops which allows you to try out multiple flavors which is always appreciated for those that are indecisive. This is a spot I bring everyone who visits and they are always blown away. Also don’t sleep on the milkshakes, they are 10/10. Don’t miss Thursday pint drops either , they are incredible.“

“Love, love, love this place! It’s so difficult to find good low carb options, and this ice cream is just DELICIOUS!!!“

“Amy’s is another Austin original and I am especially fond of it because in the 1980s, the original Amy’s opened up in what used to be a Texas French bread literally around the corner from me. I used to go there all the time for the very first days of their opening and still go. Their ice creams are excellent with a lot of unique flavors.“

“Wow what a great gelato!! We were just passing by going back home to Dallas the shop was closed but they still were kind to serve us ..Amazing!!!please stop by and try it …..“

“We visiting this location of Jeni’s on a trip to Austin, the ice cream was great. A lot of new unique seasonal flavors.

They had a poster for crispy chilli oil on ice cream… it was a limited time thing.. so we gave it a try and surprisingly wow! It’s seriously a game changer! The staff was very friendly.

The shop was was very spacious and a lot of seats available

Kid-friendliness: The kids had a blast. Wish the kids cones would be a bit cheaper though.“

“Absolutely loved my drink! I had Taro flavor with earl gray tea as a base with 50% sugar and coconut milk. I loved it! The boba pearls were the perfect texture too. The lady was insightful and kind. I'll visit again when I come back to Austin 😊“

“Very tasty gelato, lots of young kids some of them may have been drunk and high, but oh well it is what it is, College town ?? but the gelato was delicious and the service was excellent and prices were very fair! The guy working the counter had a very pleasant smile!! highly recommended!!“

“Dolce Bacio Gelato was the perfect choice for dessert at our wedding! We're not big on cake and wanted something unique, and they delivered an incredible experience. The flavor selection was amazing, and the adorable bicycle cart setup added such a fun, charming touch—our wedding photos turned out fantastic with it! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious the gelato was. I (bride) loved the "Raspberry Cookie" flavor, and the groom’s "Nutella" choice was equally divine. We were thrilled to offer vegan and gluten-free options, ensuring everyone could enjoy the treat. Plus, serving in cones or cups gave guests flexibility. Working with Stef was a breeze—she was so easy to communicate with and completely reliable. Dolce Bacio Gelato made our wedding dessert both memorable and delicious. Highly recommend them for any event!“

“This ice cream is incredible.
If you have ever been to Lick Honest Ice Creams and thought, “Hmmm, this is interesting, but the ice cream is kind of meh,” this is the place for you. It is interesting AND the ice cream is superb. They have great simple flavors and great creative flavors. I had a pumpkin seed rye cookie ice cream that expanded my understanding of what great ice cream could be. Try this place at least once.“

“We love ❤️ Andy’s Frozen Custard Staff is always very friendly even when there very busy … they take their time and smile back at the customers! 🙌“

“After years of chasing them down lol I finally was able to eat some. I’m not joking about chasing them down either, last time I tried to get to them they left the event early and we were literally trying to follow them while I was writing the owner that we see them driving off 🤣🤣 And let me tell you OMG IT WAS AWESOOOOOOME!! I ordered cotton candy, watermelon and mango. These helados were soooooooo gooooood. Reminded me of back home in 🇵🇷. But these were so flavorful the flavors were so great you can actually taste the actual flavors. The mango had little pieces of mango in them too, soooooo soooooo good. I was literally about to start licking the cup if my love didn’t take it away from me🤣🤣 Thanks to my love for remembering how much I wanted this and he took me to get some. These are not store bought either, they make it themselves. If you’re in the Austin area you have to go!!!!! They have 2 locations: 2906 Fruth St and 4101 S 1st St. oh and 2 new flavors: passion fruit and horchata 🤤 @dulcefridaatx thank you for your great service and delicious helados. Your son Jesus was awesome 😊“

Cups and Cones in Steiner Ranch is a gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The ice cream is incredibly creamy and full of flavor, with a wide variety of options to satisfy any sweet tooth. The staff is always welcoming and ready to offer great recommendations if you're having trouble deciding (so many delicious choices!). The cozy setting is perfect for families, date nights, or just treating yourself. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this amazing spot. Highly recommend!“

“It is without a doubt the softest shaved ice in Austin. The flavors were great and you get to keep the awesome color changing cups as a souvenir. Keep your little ones entertained while waiting by decorating the tables with the bucket of colorful chalks they have available.“

“Es muy bueno lugar a ido por 2 ayos 👍“

“A great local vendor here in Austin. Manuel was quick with communication and very flexible in helping me set up my event. Plenty of flavors to choose from and everyone enjoyed them. I will definitely utilize Mom & Pops in the future. Thank y'all!“

“Authentic delicious Italian food, friendly staff and great service. We loved AJ, we thought she was the owner but she told us she is an employee, she made us feel so welcome and showed genuine passion for her craft. Great little restaurant reminiscent of an Italian trattoria in Italy.“

“So rich and delicious! And the staff was friendly and fun“

“the most homemade and natural thing you can find in Austin. guaranteed. 100% recommend it

They wash and disinfect all the fruits, squeeze the oranges by hand every day, peel the 100% natural tamarind peel, and above all, they honor our Heavenly Father in their work.“

“I love all their flavors! They have years of experience in the gelato game. I especially love the strawberry cheesecake flavor since they use real Philadelphia cream cheese and real strawberry (none of the fake stuff) so it has a distinct taste to it. If you’re into ice cream with a bit of texture, it’s amazing! To people who are watching their sugar intake, they have low-carb / zero sugar and keto-friendly flavors I’ve never seen in any other gelato spot!! Experience a world of gelato you’ve never seen before. My goal is to try all of their flavors?

Dietary restrictions: Low carb/Keto-friendly“

“me encantan los productoz que vanden ,todo my rico solo cuidado con su personal e ido esta semana dos vexes y Las mujeres que atienden siempre enojadas no eh mirado una muchacha muy atenta y servicial que tenian en dias pasados con gusto le dejaba tip“

“If you are looking for a place that has the best ice cream and Hispanic snacks this is the place. It is owned by a hard working family that all they want is for people to have a place to go with their friends and family and have natural prepared treats made in house. Now that they open their second shop on hwy6 and West I will be going their too after work with my friends and co-workers. I recommend everything since everything that I have tried tastes great specially if you want a great Mangonada this is your place. I just went today and got one of my favorite snacks fruit salad with everything on it and strawberry horchata last the elote choreado with added chamoy was heavenly. Promise you won't regret it.“

“Hmmm, where do I start?Ok, service sucks unless you're a guy. They're all females working there and if you as a customer are female, the attitude and actions toward you are that your existence bothers them. In other words, don't expect good customer service.Food though!? Es pura chuchería (nothing but junk food) y está delicioso!!!!! ?? (And it's freaking delicious)They have a Gansito paleta that I requested be dunked in chocolate and coconut, and an older lady was cool about making it for us! Notice that I emphasized, older lady. LolMangonadas are the freaking bomb! They add mango chunks on top, fresh cut mango chunks! Fresas con crema are OK but you DO get tons of ?, tons. Go ✔️ it out, it's worth it.“

“I threw my sons birthday party at SnoRide, and it was a fantastic experience! Coordinating everything was a breeze, and the sno cones were a hit with guests of all ages. The shaved ice was delicious, and the unique flavors were a big hit. The face painting added an extra layer of fun, and guests kept complimenting it! The beautiful space SnoRide is set in truly makes it a hidden gem for special events. The employees were incredibly nice, professional, and accommodating. SnoRide made his birthday unforgettable, and I highly recommend them for any celebration. Thanks, SnoRide! ???“

“Frozen yogurt is a great treat and this place has lots of flavor choices. vegan options available too.“

“A nice treat for my grandson today…We we’re standing and looking at the icecream at Marble Slab in Barton Creek Mall and this senior citizen steps up and says “I want that boy to have the icecream”. After saying Thank You, the man disappeared and when we went to pay, the clerk said “It was on him, he paid for it, he’s the owner.

Such a nice gesture. Thank You, owner of Marble Slab. You are a sweet and humble man.“

“Delish and the concept is unique and innovative!!!“
