Amy’s Ice Creams

If you want overpriced products and stoned employees helping you out, this is the place for you! The few times I’ve stopped in the store is always dirty, the staff not the most pleasant and after beating our ice cream on a dirty cutting board you get partially melted, overpriced nonsense. Definitely not worth the hype. Lick at the Pearl is a much better ice cream parlor.

It was my first and last time at Amy’s Ice Cream.
Upon walking in we noticed that the parlor was busy. We waited in line for 10 minutes before we were asked what flavor of ice cream we would like — which wasn’t even an issue. As we waited for the guy to scoop out our ice cream, I asked one of the workers how the toppings and everything worked, and the guy helping us interrupted and proceeded to tell us, «I’m helping you, not her.» To which I responded, «I had a question regarding toppings — you were busy.» He explained to me that she was new and didn’t know anything. I ignored his comment and asked him my question about toppings, to which he responded that it was too late to add toppings because he «already scooped out our ice cream and that would break several health codes». I explained to him that it was our first time at Amy’s, so I wasn’t used to NOT being asked if I wanted anything else (i.e. Toppings). He proceeded to scoop out our ice cream anyways, put it on the counter, lick the spoon, and then lecture us about how we needed to order next time. At this point, we were ready to leave. Our appetite for ice cream had soured and we said we didn’t want it anymore. The worker proceeds to tell us that, «That’s like going to McDonalds, placing your order, and then saying you don’t want it — like screw you.» I said that wasn’t similar because we hadn’t even had a chance to tell him our order. He then proceeded to tell us that we can «talk to security,» because he,” isn’t letting us leave.“
We ended up leaving because HE was causing a scene.
If Amy’s Ice Cream condones the breaking of several health codes and the demeaning of their customers, it’s definitely not the place I want to be taking my children, and you shouldn’t either. I am so appalled by the lack of service and decent human behavior at this location! I’m in shock.

Melody and Savaughn are the best! They make it so much fun and make me come back to get ice cream so many times just because they’re here!

Great service great staff. Tables were just little dirty but great hang out place !

This place is awesome! The Mexican Vanilla is the best thing I’ve ever tasted until I had it topped with hot fudge. Also, it was cool to watch them throw the ice cream in the air and catch it. All around good time!

The guy working here lambasted me for ordering sweet cream ice cream and talked me into getting something else, even when I insisted. Afterwards I was still craving sweet cream.

First time in the quarry and first time at Amy’s got the Jack Frost… it was delicious, looks nice, they have board games love the environment and they are so friendly here. I will definitely be coming back again!

Man do I get excited about really good ice cream. This place doesn’t disappoint. Got half Mexican Vanilla, other half Dutch Chocolate.

I had the purple haze cool combo. It is made with Mexican vanilla ice cream (my personal favorite), raspberries, blueberries. It’s a unique combination and is very satisfying treat. I missed the free crushin trivia question of the day :(which was: name the non-​foul meat that was served at the first thanksgiving? Answer=deer.

Amy’s has really good ice cream but they are a bit on the pricy side. There was also a wait since there’s only one worker on at a time, apparently.

I’m from the north east and this is one of my favorite ice cream places. They always have a good selection of ice cream flavors and frequently rotate them. I stopped in last week while I was visiting a friend and got Trifle, sweet cream ice cream with strawberries and lady finger pieces soaked in brandy! It was so yummy. The guy working here tossed the ice cream behind his back and it landed in the cup. The ice cream is pricy but definitely worth it!

Great vibe and great ice cream. The customer service was on point. The associate was a friendly fellow who tossed the ice cream up in the air and caught it, the kids loved it! Ice cream was creamy and delicious!

Best customer service.
They make a great Baklava milkshake and ice cream.
Always friendly and always smiling.

This is one of my Top 6 ice cream spots in the country, along with:
Mt. Desert Island (Bar Harbor, ME)
Cool Moon (Portland, OR)
Sweet Action (Denver, CO)
Izzy’s (Minneapolis, MN)
Juice Bar (Nantucket, Mass)
Food and Wine Magazine, Bön Appetit Magazine, etc., all agree as well.
Yeah, the Austin location on Guadalupe (near the original location) is cooler and more fun, but I like this location cause I never have to worry about lines. Every time I fly into Texas to visit family, I stop by here to get my favorite ice cream combo of all time:
Mexican Vanilla with fresh Strawberries mixed-​in and Hot Fudge on top. They have the best Mexican Vanilla recipe, as well as Hot Fudge recipe, I’ve ever had — other places in the country have tried to copy them (ie, Davey’s in NYC), but they don’t even come close.
Do yourself a favor and go here and make sure you at least try the Mexican Vanilla, it’ll change your mind about regular-​olé vanilla!

The ice cream and the shakes were very good. The mixes are good and the staff is friendly. You can have samples to try the flavors. Or just go in and eat a lot of samples them leave.
The seating it nice, and there is a nice outdoor atmosphere. I only wish there were more flavors. The ice cream is fresh and very creamy.

I’ve had Amy’s in Austin in SoCo, which is great and the service is awesome too! It’s especially great on a warm Austin day.
I can’t say the same for the Quarry Market location in San Antonio though. The quality of ice cream is there, but the customer service is not. I did not feel very welcome here and received a smaller than anticipated serving size. Which in turn made it seem overpriced for the already pricey ice cream.
I don’t recommend this location.

We came here for dessert and when we walked in we knew it would be good.
I ordered the Mexican vanilla and regular ice cream will never be the same. The best ice cream I’ve ever tasted.

Delicious ice cream with unique flavors. I can’t speak for anyone else’s experience but the lady behind the register was very patient and sweet. They even have board games to hangout with friends and just relax.

It’s always a treat whenever I come across an Amy’s. They have fun customer service, and creative ice cream flavors. And yes, it’s totally necessary for them to have Just Vanilla, Mexican Vanilla, Sweet Cream, and White Chocolate (amongst multiple chocolates and other flavor combos). There’s even a Shiner flavor with actual shiner in it for those of you that are into that sort of thing. They have fresh toppings to mix in or put on top of your ice cream, and we got one for free for answering the question they had on the whiteboard. Sure, the floors were a bit sticky, but it’s an ice cream shop. I definitely recommend their milkshakes, very smooth and flavorful. If you ever see an Amy’s near you, do yourself a favor and stop!

Dropped by on Sunday afternoon. Not crowded. I had a coffee and white chocolate milk shake. It was very good. Husband had a large bowl of just vanilla ice cream with whipped cream. Both were good although I think it’s a little pricey. It was over $ 10 for the two. Service is welcoming when you enter and they say ‘thanks’ when you leave.

I will totally admit that I didn’t plan on doing Amy’s today. I noticed I was out of coffee, and I was starting to fade, so I swear I left for the store to get more, and somehow ended up getting ice cream instead. This is why we caffeinate, people. I actually tried to go to Lick to see their new place in the Pearl, but they’re closed on Mondays. Amy’s beckons because it’s an old favorite and I always leave satisfied.
I have no regular here because the menu rotates. They have some handy decorated chalkboards that offer all kinds of decadent Frankenstein’s monster-​like concoctions. Not only are there fresh, flavorful scoops of ice cream, but there’s also tons of mix ins like cookies, fruit, candy, nuts, etc.
Today, I went with a Nice Coconuts (although grimaced on that name, just a little). It’s sweet cream ice cream, coconut, walnuts, and typically Nilla Wafers, although I substituted biscoff cookies. I went with a tiny size, but when you add mix ins, they can’t actually *mix in* with the tiny, so they sprinkled it on top.
On this 100+ day in San Antonio, my frozen whim turned into a full force of nature that needed to be reckoned with. It may not be the new kid in town, but Amy’s reliably makes sure I get great ice cream in a fun environment. I especially love that it’s open late at night because everyone knows the most intense ice cream cravings come just this side of midnight.
The only thing I don’t love about Amy’s in San Antonio is that it can be really hard to find parking when the Quarry is crowded. I went today in the middle of a work day (ice cream breaks make you work harder — tell your boss!) and it still was a struggle. It also seems like they’ve moved a little bit away from some of the super friendly and entertaining customer service towards more sometimes sullen high school kids who don’t always want to serve you behind the counter. That service is a hallmark of the Amy’s experience, so I hope my last couple of times have just been a fluke.
You can also take pints to go, and maybe do your own dancing in your own kitchen. Nothing wrong with that.

Amy, you do ice-​cream right. Really, just the whole experience of getting ice cream here is legit!
Funky colors and décor are bright inside and there are some booths and side patio seating. The menu is beautiful and unique — hello maple bacon! There’s even a flavor with booze in it — forrealz.
The staff flipped each scoop of ice-​cream up high and caught it in the cups. This makes for an entertaining wait in line. The ‘tiny’ size is perfect. Still a super sweet indulgence but won’t make you enter a sugar coma.

My husband loves this place so we go every time we go see a movie. I hate going to the Quarry because it’s always crowded but that’s everywhere in San Antonio, so I just deal with it. The ice cream here is delicious! The place always seems dirty to me, but other than that, I always enjoy coming here. A bit pricey though.
