Amy's Ice Cream, on Burnet Road

The definitive, premium ice cream company in the state of Texas, Amy's Ice Cream has about 10 locations around metro Austin, many of them with particularly gay followings (6th Street, Guadalupe, South Congress, Arboretum, etc.) as well as franchises in San Antonio (at the Quarry shopping center) and in Houston. This stuff is frozen gold - rich, creamy, and with the purest and most decadent ingredients. Flavors rotate constantly but include standards like Belgian chocolate and Mexican vanilla, seasonal flavors like pumpkin pie and peach ice, and "adult" versions like bourbon chocolate walnut and Irish cream, and plenty of other fascinating choices, including blueberry muffin, chipotle peanut butter, double-chocolate banana, mango, and white-chocolate raspberry.
