Zero Degrees Ice Cream Creations

Closed! I know others complained about service, but i didn’t see that coming… IF, like me, you were a fan, you can still get some flavors at Camco Mart in Leander. I found Chikoo there!

This is a quirky ice cream shop with delicious varieties of ice creams. Been here regularly and tried all of the flavors. Now that I moved out of the town, I miss this place. They also have great ice cream cupcakes. All these at pocket friendly prices and I highly recommend this place for a yummy icecream treat.

I had a groupon for one dozen ice cream cupcakes. I only paid $ 13 but the woman at the counter had me pay tax on the full price? I don’t think that’s correct…
I’m mainly just disappointed by the ice cream cupcakes. Very little ice cream and mostly whipped cream. Maybe the cupcakes just aren’t that good but I doubt I’ll be making the trip back.

I absolutely love this place! I go in there so much they actually remember my order by heart! Banana Split!!!

We picked up an ice cream cake for my husband’s birthday. We ordered ahead and asked for Happy birthday to be written on it. It came out looking like a five year old wrote it and had smudges all over the top like someone had rubbed mistakes off or something. The cake itself was good though but won’t be asking for anything with writing again.

UGH. Looking at my bank statement for $ 100.11 for ice cream I am reminded about this awful experience. The lady puts in $ 100 instead of 10 for the ice cream. How is this even possible? I mean are there not buttons to have it calculate this right? Well she couldn’t fix it so she calls the guy and he couldn’t fix it so they have to give us $ 90 in cash back. I am sorry but this is unacceptable. There were times as a single mom I could not have afforded $ 100 drawn out of my bank account and that could have caused me to overdraft for some lousy ice cream. I can’t believe they couldn’t fix it and then did not offer anything to make up for it with say a free ice cream for next time. Lousy customer service and only OK ice cream means I will never come back.

I love this place because they have amazing ice cream and on top of that, they have unique flavors that remind me of back home! The mango is delicious and most likely my favorite but I’m in a dilemma every time I go in because everything is so good! Definitely give this place a try, you will not be disappointed!

dear owner/​manager/​operator:
you should really know that the woman who is working today, 6÷15÷14 is extremely rude and probably the most unhappy person I’ve ever encountered who is in a customer service position. I saw her roll her eyes and shake her head at a guest– I mean, really?! I tried to inform her that their bathroom door was broken and didn’t lock– her response was, «it’s not broke you just have to pull the handle up.» well I said, it appears to be pretty broken. she never smiled one time, and she just had the most unpleasant demeanor. ugh. I really can’t stand when people work in customer service and have bad attitudes. get a job where you don’t have to interact with humans if you’re that miserable.

Chiku ice team and flalooda an lassi … Now we talking. This is not Amy’s but good enough not to drive ally the way there

I didn’t have a bad experience and the girl working was very sweet, but the Ice cream is not that great. As a matter of fact it gave me a stomach ache afterward. I’m normally an Amy’s girl all the way, but this is next to my favorite pizza place so we stopped in. I’m sure we would go back if we were right there, but I think I’d rather drive the extra 10 min and stick with Amy’s. They have lots of flavors and toppings so my little ones really enjoyed that. Not bad, but not that great either. Just average.

Pretty good. We got the groupon for the ice cream cupcakes. The place seemed really nice, but one of our cupcakes was barely a quarter full. Also, the «cookies and cream» cupcakes is vanilla with a chunk of brownie and a cookie on top… not sure how that is cookies and cream. The taste is fine, just not overly impressed all in all.

I’m writing this mainly because the young woman who was working on her own during a big Saturday rush was absolutely fantastic and deserves to be recognized!
Otherwise the ice cream was absolutely delicious and was a great price. We’ll definitely be going back.

I didn’t eat it.
So, maybe the ice cream is OK, maybe not. Let’s just say I had a coupon and decided it wasn’t worth using it. This was a few months back, so maybe things have changed, but the comment about the «layer of dust» was accurate when I was there. Behind the counter were crumbs, cracked cones and the remnants of ice cream splashes and melted candy. Speaking of candy, the display was completely bleached out from the sun showcasing everything in varying «shades of gray.»
After waiting for 20 minutes, with only 5 – 6 people ahead of us, my wife and I looked at each other and decided we’d be doing our stomachs a favor by not eating it. We left and the employees never gave us a scant glance or hello/​bye the whole time we were there.

I’m shocked at some of the reviews here.
I guess I just havent had ANY bad experiences here.
As an Austinite, I love Amy’s, but sometimes I think the ice cream is a little too soft naturally, a little runny for easy scooping.
Zero is way different. Its crisply cold, creamy, delicious ice cream. They have a ton of flavors that normal ice cream shops don’t have. I love getting a mix of the mango and passion fruit with coconut flakes.
And, if you’re Indian/​etc, THEY HAVE CHIKOO sometimes! Chikoo is an amazingly rich fruit we eat a lot in India. It has a delicate flavor and I have NEVER seen the flavor anywhere else in my life! (You may know it as Sapodilla).
To sum it up: Creamy, cold ice cream, way cheaper than Amy’s, and great flavors that take me back to my childhood. What could be better?
Mmmm!!!

The staff was nice, the place was very clean. I had raspberry with sprinkles and it was amazing. I felt the price was decent for the amount of ice cream they put in a small bowl. Will defiantly eat here again.

We came here because we had a groupon. The ice cream was good, but not Amy’s. The gal that was working was very friendly. The atmosphere was ok… If they would improve on the atmosphere, I might go out of my way to go here… I would rather drive an extra few miles to go to Amy’s, though, or get some Blue Bell from HEB.
I got the coconut ice cream with coconut mixed in… It was pretty darn good. I tried the coffee and the cinnamon vanilla which were also good. I just don’t have this overwhelming desire to go back like I do for some other places… something seems missing, maybe it’s the atmosphere? Hence the 3 star review and I will probably not go back.

Got a birthday ice cream cake here. Since American cake is always too sweet for me, I asked the lighter options they have for ice cream cake. So my favorite is strawberry. Somehow I didn’t hear clearly, I thought the clerk mentioned «coffee», but actually she said «toffee». So I thought I got the strawberry and coffee combine cake. Oh well, toffee is not bad either.
The size is perfect as large which is enough for around 12 people.
They put the fresh strawberries on the top as the decoration. It looks pretty good.

Took advantage of a Groupon and got a sweet deal at this place.
It’s a bit too far since I live all the way in Riverside but I really enjoyed the ice cream for sure. The Groupon was $ 7 for two medium cones with 1 mix in AND 1 quart of any flavor. BEST FREAKING DEAL EVER.
I got the mint ice cream with york patties… ahh it was so good. My sister got the sweet cream with peanut butter cups.
It was exactly what I wanted on a hot Austin day. If I’m ever in the mood for ice cream and in this part of town, I’ll definitely stop by again.

Zero is very similar to Marble Slab or Cold Stone but I think Zero is far superior. We were able to get two waffle cones with mixins for a little more than $ 5. This would have probably cost us closer to $ 8 at Marble Slab, Cold Stone, or even Amy’s.
Overall, I’d say they had good ice cream at a decent price. I don’t think the ice cream itself is as good as Amy’s but you get quite a bit for your money at Zero and have all sorts of options.
I’m definitely going to go to Zero Degrees again.

My husband and I discovered Zero Degrees via Unilocal last week and have been twice since then. Both times we ordered the same thing — a small vanilla cinnamon ice cream with crushed oreos for me and a «creation» with chocolate ice cream, brownie, and fudge in a waffle bowl for the hubby.
I highly recommend the vanilla cinnamon — the vanilla really offsets the cinnamon so it doesn’t taste like you’re sticking your tongue in the cinnamon jar. I’m not a fan of chocolate ice cream, but the brownie and fudge in my husband’s «creation» was soooo good. Maybe next time I’ll get vanilla cinnamon with brownie and fudge…
There are lots of flavors from fruity to chocolate-​y to candy-​y so everyone in the family can be satisfied. There are also other things, like smoothies. I like that they make their waffle cones and bowls in-​house, and there are a large variety of waffles cones and bowls from chocolate-​dipped to chocolate-​dipped with nuts and so on.
The two of us paid about $ 9 the first time and about $ 7.50 the second time (hubby got the chocolate-​dipped waffle bowl the first time as opposed to the plain waffle bowl the second time). This is a little pricey, but considering you get a mix-​in for free with your scoops and a large amount of ice cream and mix-​ins with the «creations» it’s a decent deal. Certainly not as much ice cream as in a half-​gallon, but lots more fun.

How much do I love Unilocal?I went to this ice cream parlor in the middle of winter, after a huge steak dinner, to be the first to review this place. So yeah. I threw myself in front of this ice cream for Unilocaldom and research. You can thank me later.
Hubby and I went in thinking the big Zeros sign indicated zero calorie treats like yogurt or gelato. But nope, it’s an ice cream place. In fact this spot used to be occupied by Cold Stone Creamery which went out of business. So, how they think they can keep this one afloat when it seems to be exactly like every other scream shop around town, I don’t know. But I wish them luck! The gentleman behind the counter (owner?) said everything from the ice cream to the waffle cones to the cookies are made in house. He was very friendly and enthusiastic about his product. He was most proud of his «Cake Cream» flavor, which tastes just like frosting and is soo sweet it will give you the pee-​pee shivers!
They have a rainbow of flavors here literally, from the blue cotton candy to green pistachio to orange, well, orange. And a plethora of mix ins, like snickers, nuts and even gummy bears. My scream was delish. Simply sweet cream with strawberries. And hubby got strawberry with graham cracker mixed in served in a waffle cone with chocolate and nuts. All in all we were very happy. Lil kid happy actually.
So hopefully they will do well here and can survive the deadzone for ice cream shops, winter. If so I’ll be back when Austin gets warmer, say, Marchish?
