Popular New Zealand-style ice cream spot Zeds opens second Austin location
Austin's Tarrytown neighborhood has a new spot for frozen indulgence: Zeds, an ice cream shop bringing a taste of New Zealand to 2727 Exposition Blvd #128. This second location joins their original shop at 1814 Harvey St., expanding their fruitful approach to ice cream. Forget pre-made flavors. At Zeds, the magic happens as a base of classic vanilla ice cream meets a selection of freshly sliced fruits. This New Zealand-style technique creates a treat with a soft serve-like texture and naturally infused color that reflects the fruit within. Imagine biting into a creamy swirl bursting with the bright taste of strawberries, the tropical tang of pineapple, or the sweet comfort of banana. Beyond these familiar favorites, Zeds also offers options like blackberries and peaches, inviting customers to explore a spectrum of flavor possibilities with each made-to-order creation. The dedication to natural ingredients, promising a pure taste experience in every lick, distinguishes Zeds from shops that rely on artificial flavorings. But the customization doesn't stop at the fruit. For an extra touch, drizzle your creation with options like chocolate, coconut, chamoy, caramel, la lechera, honey, or peanut butter for 75 cents. A tempting array of toppings awaits as well, from the kick of tajin to the crunch of Oreo, cookie dough bites and gummy bears. Toppings are available for an extra 50 cents. For those seeking curated combinations, Zeds offers ice cream specials like the Banana Pudding, the Chocolate Strawberry Cookie, and the Toasted Coconut Blue. And if sipping is more your style, any of their fruit flavors can be transformed into a milkshake. Beyond frozen treats, Zeds also caters to other cravings, serving coffee, beer, wine, and tea. Just a heads-up for caffeine aficionados: specialty coffee service concludes at 5 p.m., while the ice cream magic begins daily at noon.
