Is there such thing in Texas? And do NOT tell me to go to Dairy Queen. There seems to be 0 soft serve ice cream establishments in Austin; now that's just depressing.

Definitely has the right facade.

Just find it hard to believe that soft serve road side ice cream never made it to Texas.

DQ has the market cornered in soft serve.

If you're ok with yogurt ("healthier" version of soft serve), Swirll is actually pretty good.

Their pomegranate flavor is actually pretty nice!

I think their small chocolate cone is like 49 cents. Cannot beat that on a hot Texas Summer day.

Austin has Culver's. Once you try frozen custard, you won't settle for soft serve.

I've been to Culvers and it was fine, but I was really hoping to get some soft serve ice cream last night. Quite disappointed that there's not many options here.

Default Carvel

There is a carvel in the Schlotzky's kiosk on S. Lamar.

I grew up in NY and had a carvel cone after school everyday for many years.

Had a craving a few weeks ago and found it- pretty good.
