Nothing beats a day spent at a toy shop followed by ice cream and candy. Yummi Joy is a place where a kid can be a kid, even if it means being 35. Yummi Joy's ice creams are all made with coconut milk, making it a great option for vegans and those with dairy allergies or who are lactose intolerant. Yummi Joy not only offers ice cream, but you can order a milkshake, a latte, or buy candy from the bulk and make your own candy salad to go.Although I am personally not a fan of non-dairy ice cream, it's amazing that there's a place that can offer an abundance of options for non-dairy consumers.

Walking back to our hotel after dinner we were interested in something sweet. Came across this cute candy and ice cream store! A tad pricey but overall many options and the vegan ice cream flavors were plentiful.

I came to yummi joy after a free yoga in the park event just a couple blocks north at republic square. It was very hot outside, so we wanted some ice cream and this was the closest ice cream place on the map. Turns out it's actually a full candy shop - but they do serve fully vegan and gluten-free ice cream from the dessert place "Gati," which I think also has a location in East Austin. They had very unique flavors, that was the first thing I noticed - the flavor I ended up getting was Thai tea, which it really did taste like! They also had black sesame, horchata, and some other options that were very unique. The server was helpful and explaining the flavors, and letting us sample a few. They do have a little seating area next to the main window in the front with some benches where you can sit and eat, but we bought our ice cream at 8:45, and they close at nine so we ended up sitting outside the store and eating there at a table. It was hot and humid because it was Austin in the summer, but the ice cream was very cooling and very tasty. it was a little pricey in my opinion for what you get, if memory stands it was $5.50 for one scoop, but I do remember them saying they could do half scoops of multiple flavors. Overall, the ice cream was good, but I think there were only 8 to 10 flavors so not a huge variety? Although if you also want candy, this is kind of perfect since it is a full candy store as well, and I believe also a toy store. Would be very, very fun for kids!

I went in here and was excited to find it because it looked so fun and the reviews were so cool. It turns out it's really just candy store. It might have a few things that are different, but not really. I tried the vanilla bean ice cream and it didn't taste like vanilla bean and it had a weird texture. I also had two of the truffles, the coconut with chocolate and the carrot cake. Very basic, no depth, no richness. I definitely think this is very overrated.

Had some time to kill while waiting to see a show at ACL live and came to Yummi Joy to beat the heat.We were immediately greeted upon arrival and got right in line to order. This is a candy store, but they also have ice cream and a cafe!My Ice Americano hit the spot. My girlfriend got the espresso frap and enjoyed it. We split the Golden Milk ice cream for our sweet tooth.This place is full of joy and will bring a smile to your face!

The ice cream in the milkshake was so good although the prices were wild. Honestly our biggest complaint was the service . A lady with dark hair seemed very annoyed that my 2 sons wanted a sample. No one else was even in the store we seemed like more of a bother at a candy shop ... remember when those places were FOR CHILDREN

We really enjoyed exploring the candy selection. We ended up getting a mixed bag of bulk candy and some ice cream. There's a great selection of JellyBelly flavors, including classics like popcorn and Dr. Pepper. Love this store, and of course, how close it is to ToyJoy

A super fun place to shop for sweets!First, they have a coffee bar available as a walk-up window. Right inside the door, there are homemade candies and fudge. I tried two of their bonbons, and they were fabulous.They've got some ice cream scoops too!Now in the shop itself, I found really unusual items. There are Bob Ross items, an entire line of Pez dispensers, bulk candy by the pound, and what I brought home were the candy necklaces and bracelets from my childhood.The store is a lot of fun to shop, and I ended up going twice, because I wasn't satisfied I completely looked at their entire inventory:)!

We tried the cake batter, golden milk, and chocolate vegan ice creams. The chocolate was my favorite but the golden milk was a unique flavor. They let you try a couple samples and you can also mix two flavors in a single scoop.

Cute candy shop, delicious treats, cheery staff, and vegan ice cream. This place really ticks all the boxes. There's a couple of seats outside that they keep clean. Otherwise it's a bit unassuming outside, then a brightly colored explosion when you walk in. I always take a minute to browse the shelves and displays. There's the usual mass produced candy available, but there's also fudge, chocolate truffles, and ice cream. I haven't bought any of the candy, but I know the ice cream is delicious. They have classic flavors like Rocky Road, and things off the beaten path, like Golden Milk. Don't be scared to ask for a sample to try the unique stuff. You can get your treat as a cone, a cup, or even an affogato. If coffee and sugar is your jam, I highly recommend it.
