Best Ice Cream in Austin · Austin, TX
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 2026 Centurion Award winner.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Amy's Ice Creams cleared the 2026 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
Austin original since 1984, known for Mexican vanilla, custom crush'ns, and scoop-tossing theatrics behind the counter.
