Frozen Treats: Amy's Ice Cream

It's very rare for my mom to take us to get ice cream. It's more expensive than frozen yogurt and snow cones, and usually pretty heavy, leaving us with belly aches by the time we're done. That said, Amy's Ice Cream is an Austin classic that sells yummy ice creams, and about once a year my mom will cave in and buy us each a cone.

 We visited the location on Westgate close to the movie theater and Central Market and the ice cream scooper guy was funny and full of tricks.

 We sampled the ice flavors first, thinking we might go with something non-dairy, but we weren't fans of either one. This place is know for ice cream, not ices.

Clifford ended up choosing a kid-sized scoop of half rice krispy treat, half butter brick and I went for a scoop of straight butter brick. The ice cream was delicious and just the perfect amount to fill our tummies. I can't wait to go back for more!

The flavors are all drawn on the chalk board and change frequently and seasonally. It's good to go back as often as possible so you can try the new flavors. (Mom, are you reading this?)

I don't know if this is sanitary, but it sure is funny. He serves our ice creams off the top of his head.

Also, we found out this guy used to swim on our team when he was a kid. Go Devil Rays!
