The icecream is fabulous. Not just the large flamboyant jar you may have seen on social media, although that one was delicious and is $17 with many different options and you get to keep the glass jar. So I definitely recommend it overall, whether you want a few scoops or something more

Great milkshake, it was a little pricey but you get to keep the glasses. Our cheesecake on top was frozen. I didn’t really care for it.The reason why I rate it a 3 stars is bc it was kinda messy inside, there were no clean areas to seat and things weren’t stocked, maybe they got slammed… they’d didn’t seems to friendly with customers service.Overall, milkshakes was outstanding but they can use use some help in the customer service area.

Great place to go if you are from out of town.

The milkshakes were delicious! We got the Milk & Cookies and the Salted Caramel Cheesecake, both pictured below. Now…the experience was less “delicious”. Seems like the owner might be trying to cut corners: no AC at all (it was just as hot inside than outside, over 100°) and they’re VERY understaffed (made the service slow, although the kids working there were very nice and polite). Milkshakes 5/5 and Experience 2-3/5.

This place is soooo good! The sundae in the mason jar is better shared with another as it is a LOT of ice cream to eat. The selection is great, something for everyone! They also have a wash area so you can wash and keep the mason jar. I gave 4 out if 5 stars because the jar wash area was pretty nasty and needed attention. Overall worth a try

I was so hopeful. If you have ever been to the domain, you should be prepared for crowds. We expected to wait awhile. That was okay. What was inexplicable to me was the heat inside. Hoping there was a temporary problem with the air conditioner, we waited in the unexpectedly hot line.We ordered and waited. I was excited when I was paying because I heard them call out the number just ahead of ours.(They called out for 81 to get their order and then I am told I am #82.) Yay! But then I see them call out for the number after us (83) and the next number (84) and the next number (85) and I look over to see our milkshake sitting there waiting. We finally hear our number and we dig in….only to find that there is no ice cream. It has ALL melted. And what we did taste was not anything to write home about. We understand crowds. We understand staffing shortages. But I am so confused by the heat inside…with no explanation. And the melted milkshake. With no explanation. I’m not sure if we will ever give them another try, but I will update if we do.

Everything looked so mouth watering. ? Unfortunately, we didn't even stick around to order. We were sooo disappointed. The line was so long and they only had two people working that Saturday. Which makes no sense to me? It gets pretty packed at The Domain on weekends. I'll have to try again another time.

The strawberry cheesecake shake is sweet and cold. I really enjoyed their effort into making it cute, especially with how understaff they are. There is a wait of about 20 minutes to make the item. But it is definitely worth it. This place is a Hotspot in austin, so prepare to be in line for some time. In the end you can wash your cup and keep it.

It’s pricey but the milkshakes are bomb and you can change the ice cream flavors too.

Not overrated. Great milkshakes
