As the fall breeze rolls in and we find ourselves reflecting on what we’re thankful for, one thing that stands out is our journey over the last 40 years. In 1984, Amy Simmons had a simple idea: create a place where homemade ice cream wasn’t just a treat, but a full-blown experience. Fast-forward four decades, and Amy’s Ice Creams has become a beloved institution, serving up smiles (and some seriously good ice cream) across Texas, including right here in Dripping Springs.
Since planting our roots in Austin, we’ve kept things fresh—literally. We still make everything in house, with over 350 unique ice cream flavors and frozen treats, from decadent sundaes to creamy smoothies. Whether you’ve been a lifelong fan or just discovered us in our latest expansion to Dripping Springs, we like to think we’ve been making life just a little bit sweeter.
So, how do you mark 40 years of fun? By giving back, of course! This fall, we’re celebrating big. To kick things off, we’ve launched a happy hour every Monday and Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. because, let’s be honest, sometimes you just need a midday pick-me-up. And if you’ve ever wanted to dive into one of our famous banana splits or smoothies, now’s your chance—take advantage of $1 off all shareables and smoothies. If your name happens to be Amy, mark November 9 on your calendar: Head to any of our locations, and you’ll get a free small ice cream—on us. It’s just our way of saying thanks for the love and support.
We’re also beyond thankful to be part of the Dripping Springs community. Since opening here in April, we’ve already felt the warmth of this growing town and can’t wait to see how we grow together. Amy’s has always been more than ice cream. It’s about connecting with people, sharing stories, and creating moments of joy. And we’re proud to bring that spirit to Dripping Springs.
So, as we celebrate 40 years of serving up your favorite frozen delights, we’re thankful for all the communities we’ve joined, including this one.
