35 Best Ice Cream Shops in Austin

“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.“

“Great ice cream and great service“

“This is a great little gelato place. They have some delicious gelato with our favorite flavors being Coffee, chocolate chip and the pineapple sorbet. The place gets packed and I felt bad there was only one server. She was great though. The layout is simple and the plants in the window look great. It’s a small shop so just two tables inside and another on the front porch. We stood outside to eat and it was fine. Overall a great little place to grab some tasty gelato on a hot day. #gelato“

“Incredible food. loved the salmon. ice cream very rich and creamy.“

“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.“

“I am new to Austin and am lucky enough to live a stone's throw away from Manolis. We have gone 5 times since moving so it's finally time for a review! Manolis is genuinely my favorite spot in Austin. First, they have a wonderful variety of sweet treats. From ice cream (dairy and non dairy), to pastries, sorbets, milkshakes, and coffee, there is truly something for everyone. Everything we have ordered has been absolutely delicious. Second is the service. There are few places I have been where I feel more welcome than Manolis. They are passionate about what they serve and make every person who comes through feel like a regular. The owners are genuinely some of the kindest people I have had the pleasure of meeting in Austin and they deserve business. Third is the location! Can be tough to get around the 290 construction but Manolis is worth every minute of your time. The complex has covered picnics tables, heaters, games, and a playground. It's cozy, charming, and a great place to sit on a beautiful night. If you are on the southwest side, GO TO MANOLIS. If you live in Central Texas, GO TO MANOLIS. Heck, if you live in Oklahoma, it's worth the trip. They are open Friday-Sunday and I look forward to their tasty treats all week. I will support this business for as long as I live here!“

“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!“

“Beware... Once you bite a slice you will never ever go back to another fast food pizza place, soo good!!!! One bite and your eyes will roll back!

Heaven in a bite! Nonna's I love you... pretty please make my dreams come true & create a magical calzone. ❤️ -Sincerely, your Loyal customer #notsponsored“

“This was SOOO good. I had the strawberry cheesecake flavor and it was incredible.“

“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!“

“so delicious! definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“Super yummy ice cream. The staff was very friendly. Hope to see them for many years in the neighborhood. It's been crowded but caught them before closing and hardly any wait.“

“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.“

“The ice cream was delicious and there are so many flavors to try!!“

“Walking up, one of the employees was unloading inventory from truck into store. He noticed us walking up and ran inside to serve us. Very kind and offered to sample what interested us. Ice cream was so good, this spot definitely needs to be shown! Will return every Austin trip!!“

“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!“

“Took a nice stroll downtown and ended at Baked Bear for an evening snack. My husband and I both enjoyed our choices. I had a gooey butter cake cookie with blackberry icecream. He had a chocolate chip cookie/nutella cookie and cookies and cream sandwich. Both were good! Though, I'm partial to the gooey butter cake cookie and would certainly go back again in the future.The atmosphere is fun. Historical power plant in the background and the occasional train on the tracks makes it a bit loud, but, part of the fun of where you're at!“

“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.“

“Best scones in the world! And the staff is friendly, kind and love our dogs❤️“

“There is multiple options here from tiny, medium to large. Cones or cups. Crushed in toppings a long list of choices! We did simple because so full from dinner but we got Belgium chocolate on waffle cone medium and a tiny on a sugar cone. It was so delicious and sweet! Perfect for an after dinner treat!Parking: Pay parking on an app“

“Connor's Creamery - I'm sorry this review comes so late. Connor's made my ice cream wish on my 51st birthday great! Great folks, great ice cream, great memories!“

“I grew up in Vermont so my ice cream bar is pretty high. Typically I have always stuck by my hometown hero Ben and Jerry’s, but I have to say that this ice cream is on par with those long time favorites! Great staff, friendly atmosphere, amazing ice cream, fun events!“

“The best in Austin. I moved here from Maui so I can def tell ❤️“

“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!“

“Loved this so much !! You will not be disappointed!!“

I would recommend this place again for their delicious and amazing cookies!“
