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.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Amy's Ice Creams (2026). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
