Ice-ka klick klick-cream

Sure, Amy's is notable for their interesting flavors, some even including alcohol, and who doesn't like that? But also what must be mentioned about Amy's Ice Cream is it's character. Amy spared no expense on making this little ice cream shop pure Austin. Even the employees are entertainers.
On my good friend Lindsay's twentieth birthday we hit up Amy's for some celebratory treats. We of course mentioned the fact that it was her birthday and, being overtly confident and most likely annoying, demanded a birthday song and dance. We all laughed and went to have a seat.
It was then that Amy's became not just an ice cream shop. One of the employees straps on his tap shoes, jumps on a piece of ply wood and goes to town. I went into Amy's ice cream expecting two scoops of chocolate and I got a show! And Lindsay received the best birthday present ever: a personal tap dance accompanied by delicious ice cream.
The ice cream at Amy's is great, but the atmosphere is now the selling point. Only in Austin can you find local entertainment and desert all in one, and at no extra cost.
