Phenomenally cute place! I ordered a small sized vegan ice cream. Fantastic and it brought me nostalgia....

Not a vegan or gluten-free eater, but tried their ice creams, made with plant-based milk. Very unique flavors and handmade...but a bit pricey and the flavors were very mild. I have no frame of reference when it comes to ice cream made like this, but Ill stick with my delicious, fattening, unethical cow milk ice cream...sorry cows but your milk makes ice cream so tasty.

So cute! Kind of a cool vintage feel. A must-see! The owners and employees are super friendly! We bought a bunch of candy in bulk. They have vegan options for candy, fudge and ice cream. The vegan rocky road fudge and ice cream are to die for. Totally worth it to just go there for that. Would go again!

Yummi Joy was so great!! Oh my god they had sweet ritual ice cream and all the cute cones and it was so perfect. Also, there was one woman who worked there and she was one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. She was just so sweet and let me try everything and gave me a good price for three scoops plus the cone. This place is so cute and I loved it. The vegan ice cream was A+

This candy store is very cute, with all sorts of different confectionaries. Even if youre not vegan, definitely give their ice cream a try! The flavors they have are strong and sweet, just like regular ice cream. Its not every day you get to find a shop as much soul as this one, so check it out sometime.

Featuring vegan ice cream from Sweet Ritual, walls of self serve candy classics, and house-made fudge, Yummi Joy finally fills the cavity in Downtowns sweet tooth scene. Neighboring partner business ToyJoy (Austins staple for all things quirky and fun), Yummi Joy goes beyond the world of treats with over the counter coffee/espresso service, and vegan softserve milkshakes for the after work blues. This colorful sugar source is sure to delight locals and tourists alike!

The packaged candy was very old. I spent $40 on candies for my kids and after opening and eating a few pieces I made them throw them away. I felt like it was found in an old dusty box at my great grandmas house from 1982. Terrible.

Your one stop shop for all things candy and sweet in downtown Austin! Not only do they carry a plethora of sodas and candies (from nostalgic to Asian candies) they also feature plenty of vegan options: both homemade fudges and ice creams — in plenty of interesting and fun flavours! (Rocky road, cookies and cream and unicorn poop are some flavours they carry.) I’m happy to report that they also carry various flavoured cones, which not a lot of ice cream shops do. My cookies and cream scoop in a matcha cone was to die for, and so far Yummi Joy has been the only place in Austin that I’ve found that flavour of cone.Next to the best toy store around, I definitely recommend stopping by here after some intense toy and collectable shopping for a sweet treat. Even if you don’t grab any ice cream, their soda and candy varieties are well worth a look.

This place is amazing. Living in downtown Austin for a few months and this place is one of the highlights. Great fudge, dairy free ice cream that tastes like real ice cream, and they even cater to dogs at their sidewalk window! Check em out!

Great place to find a lot of cool and unique things. You will definitely end up spending a lot of time here just looking at how cool everything looks. Great place to take kids and adults. Lots of wonderful things to find.

Great candy shop in the downtown Austin area. The staff was friendly, and their selection was really nice. Nice frozen food on a hot Texas summer day is worth a stop by itself.

Yummi joy and toy joy are probably my two favorite shops in Austin at this point. They got all kinds of candy youve never heard of and others that you forgot about since your childhood. Decent variety of jelly beans. Definitely try their fudge its flipping amazing

Review №25

Interesting store with a very good selection of candies and unique flavors and things! I definitely I commend checking out the handcrafted things that are in the store! Such as their lattes and ice creams! I wish they had more of a selection of hand made things but over all this store is very cool!

I am so glad I happened upon this place. The staff is phenomenal: courteous, accommodating, and knowledgeable, with personalities that really shine in this environment. Give em a raise. The ice cream is excellent (though be prepared -- even the child-size cone is very generous), the candy diverse and unique, and the case offerings, like chocolate-dipped Oreos molded into a flower shape and sprinkled with edible glitter, are well-presented (and were equally well-received as a spontaneous gift). Despite its very new-Austin location, it has the feel of the best community shops in the old Austin I remember from twenty years ago.Edit: This place is still great. They seem to attract real talent for behind the counter. Though the faces I knew when I wrote the above review seem to have moved on, the current staff is also stellar. I especially appreciate the quirky drawing cutouts that now accent the place—artwork by a guy who also serves up the ice cream with charm and panache. Give these guys a raise too.

I was really into their large variety of vegan fudge and ice cream that was in stock. Strongly recommend the vegan Rocky Road and the normal Dulce de Leche fudge. There is a variety of other kinds of candy and ice cream available.

Delicious and unique treats with quite a few options for those who require vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, sugar-free, and nut free sweets! Sweet Ritual ice cream down town is quite convenient. Amazing locally roasted coffee and espresso from Little City Coffee allows for some great combinations. Highly suggest a Squid Ink Affogato!!

This is the Toy Joy mothership. If you dont mind the winding walkway and sharp corners and jarringly eclectic clutter of toys, then why havent you been here yet? Its like a whimsical dream.

This place is for tourists, its small, crowded and over-priced. If youre a townie, avoid it. If youre a tourist, please feel free to throw your money away, Im sure their rent is sky high.

Cute store in too small of a space. Its hard to walk around and in order to get ice cream you have to cut thru the line to pay. The line to pay blocks some of the candy shelves. Also pretty pricey pwr pound

Ok so we went into toyjoy just out of curiosity, it was nostalgic and cool as hell, not just for kids. Then of course yummijoy is apart of the same group. We tried the ice cream, the macroons and the coffee. Great service, great atmosphere! This definitely contributed to us having a great day.
