It is in the Randall’s shopping center.Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids! Please bring your childrenWheelchair accessibility: The wheelchair access is right in front so there would be no limitations with a wheelchair“

“Took our kids here while visiting San Antonio. Very delicious. All the kids commented that it was better than regular ice cream. My son even went back for seconds with his own money. Would definitely visit again. Wish I had one in my own town.“

“I've been eating pastries, ice cream from this place since they are in downtown. Moving to New location made it even better and I love everything they sell. Definite 5 star experience everytime.Kid-friendliness: There is plenty of open space for kids to play and some kid friendly items like slide.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible from parking to order and tables.“

“This ice cream is out of this world delicious, and the flavors include some of the most creative combinations I've ever seen. As the cherry on top, the owner is incredibly kind! I will sing Merry Monarch's praises to the end of the earth!“

“Cute, chill hideaway ice cream store with unique ice cream flavors. I typically avoid dairy so it was a nice surprise that most or all of their ice cream was made from coconut milk. Will be back!Dietary restrictions: All the ice cream I saw was made from coconut milk, so non-dairy friendly“

“Some of the best gelato I've had in awhile! Especially loved the pistachio and strawberry sorbet. Service was friendly, and prices were reasonable, considering they will fit 4 flavors into the regular cup if you want. I'd definitely come back!“

“My boyfriend and I ate here last night, and i was so pleasantly suprised at how much I enjoyed it. The food was great- especially my order, the Spicy Miso Udon Soup with Seafood. Excellent service, gracious and exactly right. The space is great. We sat outside because the weather was nice but the inside is very very cozy and cute too. I am already planning my next visit for AFFOGATO and more Spicy Miso soup. I also want to try the Fish and Chips, and try the rice noodle option in the soup. Excited to have not only a good Japanese option but an espresso bar just a few blocks from our house. Will be back (probably this week)!“

“Such a fantastic locally owned bubble tea place! I rolled in here on my skates, and I am so glad the journey brought me in here. The staff is wonderful- they’re so attentive to what your experience is and making sure you’re satisfied with your drink. The entire place is so “instagram” worthy, and a great place to sit and enjoy your drink for a moment or two if you don’t get it to go. Special shout out to them for playing my favorite musician in the world on a continuous playlist. ? ??1️⃣3️⃣ <—- some clues! I will absolutely be making this a regular occurance on my skating adventures. Give it a try- you won’t be disappointed!Parking: I skated in so I am unsure of how the experience would be looking for parking, but there are plenty of spaces I saw for street parking along the way!“

“Great little spot to grab an after dinner dessert. Parking is in the back. The lady that helped us was really sweet. We tried lots of flavors before landing on cappuccinos + stracciatella/vanilla from Madagascar. The gelato was creamy and delicious.“

“great menu! got "the violet" and every bit of it was delicious. the only thing im sad about is not getting the larger size. definitely get the larger size! so worth every bit. immaculate vibes and excellent customer service. can't wait to come back and try something new :)“

“can't believe it's taken me so long to try this place it's so good! Kinda like a smoothie but ice cream consistency. I appreciated the real fruit flavors and not overly sweet icecream flavor I'm sure on a super hot day this would be even more refreshing. I can't wait to come back and try more flavor and combinations! It was a larger space then I expected, staff was 5/5 and parking is a breeze“

“Our first meal at Numero28 was delicious. We sat outside and a there was a guitar player. Cool vibe. On our way back through Austin we had to stop again. Our server, Courtney, was awesome! She sets the bar high for waitresses. 1/2 price on wine bottles on Tuesdays.“

“Well call me a meteorologist and put me on KXAN because today's forecast is sunny with a side of SNOWCONE. Ordered the most DIVINE rainbow flavor wif strawberry, pineapple, and blue raspberry syrup on the fluffiest pow. A new summer staple!“

“Super cute little ice cream truck outside of a brewery we were visiting. Dark haired woman that was working was so nice. Ice cream was good but the COOKIE!?! I tried it when I was in town visiting a few months ago and I’m still thinking about it. I may fly back just to get another one.“

“If this app had 6 stars or more I would definitely give it to Jim Jim's. I've been coming to this place since I was in kindergarten. That's over 10+ years ago. I've loved this place ever since.the environment is amazing and it's like family honestly. The snow cone are so so so so good. The service here is unmatched. Always going the extra mile and making sure they make their customers smile.“

“I had the tastiest tacos here and for good prices! Given that the tacos are reasonably sized, I think you'd get your money's worth.3 tacos is enough to fill me up. And for a first-timer, I'd recommend the bistec, chicken, and suadero tacos.The service is also great, really nice people.“

“Miss Omg Squee, I got sucked in by the soft serve but then fell in love with the mochi donuts.The mochi donuts are great because they are small and always some interesting flavor. My most frequently eaten are the lemon butter and the Vietnamese tea.The Ube flavor is also good for boba or other teas and on their ice cream.The lines can get long as it's a small shop and kitchen, but it's worth it.Usually pickup only sat down a few times.“

“This place is really cute. Service is quick and their gelato is pretty tasty. Always a great spot to hang out with friends or even to people watch. Parking might be tricky during weekend but it's a nice neighborhood to walk if you can't get a spot right there.“

“Crumbl Cookies are absolutely delicious! Each bite is a perfect balance of chewiness and flavor, and the variety of classic and inventive flavors never fails to satisfy. If you're in search of the perfect sweet indulgence, Crumbl is a must-visit!“

“The cookies and ice cream here are so delicious! My favorite cookies were the oogey butter cake and cinnamon toast one (cookie of the month). I also tried their ube cookie which is very authentic to ube taste (cookie of the month). My favorite ice cream is their blackberry crumble and almond brittle. I also asked for my cookie sandwich ice cream to be heated up too. They are huge so share with another person. They also do one hour validation for the garages.“

“After dinner thought I'd have a quick dessert next door at Lick Honest Ice Cream. Different than the normal ice cream. Sampled 1/2 of the selection and chose the salted caramel. Delicious. Was extremely cold inside bldg and decided to eat my treat outside on a bench. Cute place.“

“Such a refreshing option to have in the midst of a hot airport! We ordered coffee icecream with chocolate chip cookie dough chunks in it as well as Mexican vanilla ice cream with sweet cream. The former had a great flavor, the coffee taste didn't get lost in the icecream, but in the latter my husband wasn't a huge fan of the flavor saying the taste reminded him of Play-Doh. Overall though we found it convenient and at the very least we found one combination we liked!“

“Best chocolate chip cookies (when warm) in Austin, and really, most anywhere. we have bought the cookie dough twice, most recently earlier today. Very easy to follow instructions and they come out perfect. It is important to let them sit a bit where they will be overly soft. Bought this fudge like cookie/brownie that's also phenomenal (and very dense, in a good way). This place has a variety of cookies, and I believe they also have some hot and cold drinks, but have not tried those yet.Friendly folks at the counter. Inexpensive would not be a word to describe this place, but the cookies are so good, my comment would be "oh well, deliciousness comes at a price sometimes."“

“If I were Jeni, I’d make a "Chai Tea Latte & Honeycomb" ice cream! This would feature a creamy, spiced chai tea-flavored ice cream base, infused with the warm, aromatic spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves, perfectly balancing sweetness and spice. Through this richly flavored base, swirls of thick, gooey honey would run, adding a naturally sweet contrast. For a delightful crunch, chunks of crispy, golden honeycomb candy would be scattered throughout, offering a textural contrast that melts in your mouth. This flavor would appeal to those who love the comforting warmth of a chai latte and the sweet, crunchy surprise of honeycomb.“

“Best ice cream. Why? Because it's real.It's worth diving well out of your way to get it.Butter burgers are great too. I get them plain because I love the taste of the burger and bun, icky adding ketchup.Try it , it's a great taste, by far the best fast food hamburger in the country. Yes, the entire country.“

“Listen I love this TCBY, location is great for a post-dinner dessert and everyone that works there is super chill. However, the past two times I've gone - it's smelled absolutely rank. Like 100% nasty bathroom smell, like they tried to clean it but it just only slightly covered it up. It was overpowering the last time I was there I almost left with no yogurt I was so shocked. I'll still be back, but dang.“

“I first came and got their lemonade at the Long Center in ATX a few months ago and ever since then i have been craving it everyday!!!! Everything there is so rich in flavor and just so refreshing! Please follow them on instagram @dulcefridaatx and come see them when they pop up in your area:)“

“What do you do when you have a hankering for ice cream in Austin? You go to Amy's and make a creation. I went with a friend recently close to closing time, on a Sunday night and the line was still pretty lengthy. I can't imagine what it's like on a warm/hot Friday or Saturday night. Anyhoo, the line moved pretty quickly and the staff at the windows were fun and engaging. They made suggestions and helped narrow down flavors and toppings. It's like a smaller Cold Stone but with some different toppings and flavors. I made a cup with pecan pralines, Biscoff cookie crumbles and graham crackers in Sweet Cream ice cream. A smidge pricy but decadently delicious. I couldn't make a habit of visiting because I'd go overboard but it was definitely worth a random visit for a treat.“

“Fresh fruits! Nice and clean shop! My cousin was on a quest to find some fresh fruits (cut mango pieces) during our Texas roadtrip and we went to so many different shops to try them, this was by far the cleanest one we found and the portion’s great for sharing too! They have cut mangoes and will toss it in some spicy sauce to add flavor. You can pick other fruits as well and make your own fruit cup :) Super friendly staff, highly recommended!“

“I don't think ice cream can ever be bad, but I was anticipating to be more wowed by their unique flavors. Visited on a Saturday night about 7pm and the place was empty. The parking garage was nearly full so it was tough to find parking. Tequila lime coconut, dark chocolate, and the Texas sheet cake were the flavors we had. They were good, but we'd give other flavors a try next time.“

“One of my new favorite dessert spots in Austin! Stumbled into this place by chance and wow how has it taken me this long to uncover D'Lites. At first you might think healthy ice cream and write it off thinking it won't taste the same or leave a weird taste in your mouth but this place won't! I got a small with sprinkles (approx 100 cals for the ice cream) and also walked away with 3 half pints. On Wednesdays they have buy two get one free on all quarts, pints, and 1/2 pints. Really nice to see a place offering 1/2 pints as that's the ideal size for me! They also have several other gluten free/healthy grocery items around and the workers were so helpful explaining all their offerings to us. The store is neatly organized and they have several freezers with their ice creams so everyone isn't crowding one. I did go on a Wednesday evening the store was definitely lively. Here's my ratings on the four flavors I tried Peanut butter cookie dough: This is mostly just a chocolate peanut butter as I didn't taste and cookie dough nor did they add any. Not to worry though as the flavor was still delicious and it was perfectly sweet. I just wish they would rename to peanut butter. 8.5/10 Oreo Cheesecake: Maybe my favorite flavor! Again no chunks of Oreo but the cheesecake flavor was really good! The sweetest of all the flavors I had. 9/10 Glazed donut: Yes this really tastes like a glazed donut and you should give it a try! 8.5/10 Banana pudding: This has the artificial banana flavor (think banana laffy taffy) so if that's a no go for you then maybe stay away. I like that so I really enjoyed this. 8/10.“

“Had some time to kill while waiting to see a show at ACL live and came to Yummi Joy to beat the heat. We were immediately greeted upon arrival and got right in line to order. This is a candy store, but they also have ice cream and a cafe! My Ice Americano hit the spot. My girlfriend got the espresso frap and enjoyed it. We split the Golden Milk ice cream for our sweet tooth. This place is full of joy and will bring a smile to your face!“

“I’ve gone to a lot of shaved ice places in Austin but this one is by far the fluffiest ice and their flavors are great. It’s also about half the cost of most other places. I know the location is a little weird but it’s totally worth the trip!“

“Passed by JENI'S on the way to get some tacos next door and the smell of the waffle cones was heavenly so we decided to stop by when we finished our meal. SO HAPPY WE DID! My family and I fell in love with their flavors. I got the Gooey Butter Cake in the waffle bowl. It was so creamy and flavorful!“

“Soooo delicious! And surprisingly fast! When we went on a Wednesday night, it was somewhat packed. The worker took our order and let us know it would be a minute as they were working alone, but I was impressed as our ice cream was ready within 5 minutes! Despite it being pretty busy, the worker was so kind. We got root beer floats and goodness were they gooood!! The whole nine yards with sprinkles and whip cream AND they give you the leftover bottle of root beer. How awesome!! Considering it was $8.50, I felt it was certainly worth it and can still tip generously. Obviously these workers are doing an amazing job :) It is right next to another restaurant, so maybe the ambiance isn't the "best," but who cares when you're eating ice cream?! Will be back!!!!“

“I come here for the chamoyada alot. if youre in for something sour, sweet and refreshing, i recommend it. the flavor of the elotes is great but the only thing is that it is usually overcooked corn. ive been here many times and gave it chances but still its a disappointing. the nachos are on par and so are the hot cheetos with cheese. service is very fast which i really appreciate.“

“If you are looking for a casual, outdoor vibe for delicious desserts, this is your place! The churros are insanely good, served hot and crisp with a wide variety of toppings and/or dipping sauces. I recently went and had the traditional churros with dulce de leche, and they were fantastic. My husband ordered one of their specials, which was an order of churros with banana sugar, ice cream, and strawberry and chocolate sauce on top. Both were divine! The staff were very friendly despite the late hour, and apologized for being out of the frozen chocolate drink we had thought about getting. Overall, it was delicious and hit the spot. We will absolutely be back!“

“When in a different city, I love to go on yelp and look up ice cream spots. Rain or shine. I was excited and intrigued to check out Lick Honest Ice Creams. After going to The Thinkery, we saw that there was a Lick location in the same plaza so that was a no brainer. As soon as I stepped inside, I knew that I was instantly in a happy place. 1. Sample, sample, sample! We tried some seasonal and usual flavors that caught our eye. Confession: most of the flavors grabbed our attention so we're so glad that Lick has excellent customer service and they let us try so many so we could decide what to get in the end. I really enjoyed Lady bird lavender crisp, Texas sheer cake, roasted beets and fresh mint, goat cheese/honey/thyme, tres leches, sweet cream and strawberry, just to name a few. There were also quite a few vegan options as well! 2. For those who are local, there is a very cool promotion of being a Scoop Society member which gets you 1 free topping for the entire month, bogo free small ice creams, Friday waffle cone/bowls. How fun is that? If I lived in Austin, I would gladly be a member and I truly wish that San Diego would have something like this! 3. Indoor and outdoor seating, which is perfect depending on the weather. Overall, it's impossible to have a bad day when ice cream is involved! I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting ice cream because you won't be disappointed at all.“

“So much fun. We purchased tickets as we were on our way and got lucky that they had slos available. We had so much fun. (Heads up: The sprinkle pool is a workout). So many great picture opportunities and info about ice cream in such a fun way. We had a blast!“

“Quite the varieties of ice cream flavors, selections of popsicles & drinks to choose from! Appreciated the offer of taste testing from owner, who explained the flavors; extremely pleasant and helpful gentleman. We will be back to indulge again as the ice cream was very good!Dietary restrictions: dairy free optionsKid-friendliness: Bright colored decor, fun wall hangings,appetizing selections kids would enjoy“

“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!“

“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“

“Whether you're indulging in classic favorites or trying one of their seasonal specials, every scoop is a treat for the taste buds. The charming atmosphere and friendly staff add to the enjoyment, making Jeni's a must-visit destination for ice cream lovers.“

“Delicious cookies! The menu changes weekly and I recommend getting the app. It’s easy to earn points towards free cookies. The staff are always professional and kind. The wait time is not long either. The inside is pleasant, but you can’t sit and eat your cookie there. More of a grab and go. The cookie I purchased today is the Dulce De Leche flavor.“

“Guillermo was very helpful and friendly - even recommended other food trucks around him to try out! Huge variety of options to choose from - fresh corn with lots of different salsas and spices, amazing aguas frescas, and other treats. Cannot wait to come back and try all their menu!“

“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! ???“

“10 out of 10 amazing!!! The best shaved ice I've had anywhere since I was in Hawaii! This is a sweet shaved ice so it's full of flavor, not like those other places that just pour some colorful liquid over bland ice.2 of us each ordered a small and split 1 Taiyaki.The Hot pressed stuff Taiyaki was an amazing way to finish this dessert trip. (we did the custard with no topping)WeGreat textures and flavors!!!I love being able to honestly say "this is EVERYTHING I wanted this place to be!"“

“okay guys me and my bestie came at 1/16 around like 8pm and whoever was working needs a $150/hr raise bc they were so amazing and attentive and so fun. she was so good at recommending flavors and was so kind and me and my friend left saying "I hope they know how much we loved them" and also "ugh they were so fun. I was to come back and ice cream usually doesn't make me feel this way"“

“I so appreciate the cake ladies and Byron for helping get a cake for our son’s 10th birthday. I had some scheduling issues this year and called a bit late. They were so kind to accommodate. Thank you? ?? ?Our son is not a big fan of sweets but he loves DQ ice cream. This is our third year ordering for his bday, and the cake ladies are consistently cheerful and do a beautiful job decorating it. Thank you DQ for making the bday festive!!? ? ?“

“I have come to this park several times with my girls and just today we discovered this ice cream parlor, being at the top we had not seen it and we loved it. The place was clean and the girl who helped us was so friendly that we wanted to ask for everything! Very good and varied flavors and super pleasant atmosphere. Great price quality!“
