Lick Honest Ice Creams

With flavors like Caramel Salt Lick, Cilantro Lime, Lone Star Au Lait, Hill Country Honey & Vanilla and Sweet Potato, Lick is a welcome alternative to the (still awesome) Amy's. Because a town as big (and hot) as Austin can never have too much ice cream.

Local produce plays a big part in the farm fresh flavors at Lick Honest Ice Creams. Try earthy roasted beets with crisp fresh mint with a scoop of Pure Luck goat cheese , thyme and Good Flow Honey . Read more

Austin Chronicle

Lick not only sources milk , cream, and eggs locally but also the fruits , vegetables , and herbs used to create their distinctive flavors, including Caramel Salt Lick and Roasted Beets & Fresh Mint .

Travel + Leisure

Best known for savory scoops like roasted beets with fresh mint , cilantro lime , and goat cheese , thyme , and honey , the outfit also has tamer flavors, like the latte-like Texas au lait. Read more

Lisa Grimm

Delicious flavor selection and vibe. The coconut avocado is divine, flavorful, yet neutral so it can be paired with almost anything. Had the Blackberry Lime & Basil with it. Can't wait to go back!

Juan Pérez

Some of the best and most innovative ice cream I've had anywhere. House made waffle cones make all the difference. It's quite expensive but I don't care, I would go every 3 days if I lived near.

Ana Desivojevic Schweizer

Omg, Lick Ice Cream is worth every calorie!!! Wanted to take picture of it, but disappeared in 2 seconds. Amy, sorry, I thought I would never cheat on you, but it happened, I just fell in love.

Michelle Tran

Not a fan of the waffle cone BUT love the unique flavors. Caramel Salt Lick and Lemon Lavender are my faves! Also love how they put notes for flavors containing common food allergies or for Vegans :)

Danish Virani

Get the caramel salt lick , which is the most popular flavor and the goat cheese . Claudia was incredibly nice by letting us try every flavor. Made the decision process much easier

Dfw Dean

And I thought Amy's was it then I stumbled on this place: wow! This is darn good ice cream , especially if you like funky flavors and good ice cream .

Nina K

My favorite ice cream in ATX. The ingredients to make the ice cream are all from local farmers and vendors. Definitely a good place to go for some unique flavors!

Allison LeBlanc

i enjoyed the caramel salt/butter pecan combo & you might too! also, just for kicks get a tasting of the goat cheese/thyme flave. goat is not my preferred cheese , but in ice cream form it was a trip!

Kevin Kao

The vanilla and honey ice cream is probably the best ice cream I've ever had. Not too heavy, with a hint of sweetness so you don't feel like shit after eating a pint.

Johnny Spencer

Sample everything and order anything. Never has ice cream been so creative or flavorful. Pushing the boundaries and raising the bar , keep it up LICK!

Jesse

Very interesting flavors. One I would like to see is something like Dark Chocolate with Espresso . I had the Coffee Au Lait, and it was good, but it would have been better with chocolate :)

Marissa Wise

Lick is wonderful! If you have not tried it yet it is worth the trip!!! Try a flavor that is out of your comfort zone it is well worth it!

tif lacey

the 'back porch iced tea ' is amazing - the lemon and grapefruit add an amazing tang to the milky ice tea flavor . Devoured a tub quicker than I care to admit...

Amanda

It's hard to choose a single favorite flavor when there are so many amazing ones! Tried a new combo today: Cilantro Lime definitely goes great with Sweet Persimmons and Sage !

Fernando Covas

Fresh, delicious, and unexpected flavors abound! Cilantro lime , goat cheese thyme and honey , too hot chocolate , and strawberries and cream are some of the highlights.

Corey Ward

They have a rotating assortment of interesting flavors, from sweet to savory, and always have a handful of vegan options to choose from!

Avery Epstein

lighter ice cream than Amy's. Flavors are weird and original but outstanding, definitely an experience -- flavors change all the time and are reflective of Texas

Social News Network

Weird combinations of traditional ice cream flavors , fruits , herbs, spices, and other ingredients. The Too Hot Chocolate (chocolate ice cream with cayenne pepper ) has a nice kick!

Jackie Mann

We went here two days in a row. Texas Sheet Cake and Lavender were my two favorite flavors!

Ebrahim Bandookwala

Unique flavors! Will go back for fig and cheese and roasted beet and mint .

Tiffany

Has an array of strange and unique flavors but the coffee with cream is seriously one of the best coffee ice creams I've ever had.

Serious Eats

Flavors ranging from "Roasted Beets and Fresh Mint " to "Caramelized Carrots and Tarragon " to more familiar flavors like "Caramel Salt Lick ."

Sam C

Too hot chocolate is always my fave but I combined it with the orange fennel and it was just like those chocolate oranges growing up.

Lena Kidd

Lavender and Salt Lick Caramel are amazing. Beet mint flavor is unique and fun to try but tastes very strongly of beets .

Ciara Sames Trujillo

Amazing ice cream - some of the best I’ve ever had. Their flavors are delicious and creative.

Sara

Goat cheese , thyme , and honey ice cream is absolutely delicious, a must try.

Anna Nguyen

Dark chocolate , olive oil , sea salt : great combo, but the olive oil becomes a bit overwhelming mid way through the first scoop... They need to notch back on it a bit.

Jessica Fontenot

I decided to give Lick another chance today. Complete 180 degree turn-around this time. The Tart-toasted coconut ice cream is amazing! The service was great. Thank you Lick!

Hans Paap

Rich ice cream with a great selection of flavors. They don't mind sampling and have a rewards card for frequent scoopers.

Christine Ha

Creative flavors soft-serve style. Goat cheese/honey/thyme ????????. Scoops are small so don't share. Multiple locations. ????

Social News Network

Unique flavors you won't find anywhere else! Coconut and Avocado Curd sounds absurd but it became my favorite after one sample!

Donlee

Best ice cream and cone in Austin. Love the fresh flavors. Unlike anything you've ever tried before.

JBL

You've had your barbecue fill - why not finish it off with some ice cream ? They get very creative with the flavors - and everything tastes true to name.

Matt Barbour

Very smooth, creamy, flavorful ice cream . The spicy coconut is particularly tasty w/ dark chocolate

B W

The honey goat cheese ice cream is life changing. Also the salted dark chocolate . My favorite ice cream spot.

Lauren Brisbo

I ain't no vegan , but the curried squash & coconut is delicious. So is the avocado curd . Definitely get the waffle bowl !

angelica velazquez

Hill country honey vanilla bean is the way to go ! this is the best place to grab ice cream in all of Austin !

Logan Fountain

I loved the vast spectrum of sweet and savory flavors. The staff was very helpful and kind. Forget Amy's.

Danielle Beck

Texas Au lait, Texas Chia chai , and peanut butter chocolate brownie in a waffle cone . Best ice cream I've had!

Christina

Salted caramel and cinnamon sugar cookie flavors were great!

Kim Andrade

The goat cheese thyme honey ice cream was great and unique.

Valentina Enriquez

Get a scoop each of Mole and Strawberries & Cream in a waffle cone . Delicious!!

Brad Kwaterski

Love the ingredients used to come up with the awesome flavors. Cilantro lime is my fav!

Chris Edwards

Highly recommend the sweet cream and strawberries . It was amazing. Also, you can get two different flavors with a small.

Emily Charlton

Their caramelized carrot and tarragon ice cream is great. They also accept go local cards and have a punch card.

Bryce Canady

Love love love the Goat Cheese Thyme and Honey ice cream

Kingsley Younger

It takes 15 minutes in the Electro Freeze ice cream maker for the ice cream mixture to become soft serve before going into the freezer to be set for another 2 hours & ready to be served as hard-serve.
