Amy's Ice Cream

Amy's Ice Cream is a small chain in Austin that is know for flying ice cream stunts when serving customers. The staff is known to be zany and outrageous. The first time I went two of the staff members ran outside with a large scoop of ice cream and a paper bowl. One employee crossed a busy street and attempted to throw a customers ice cream across the street only to be caught by the other employee on the opposite side in the bowl. Ta-da!
