Zeds plans to bring its New Zealand-style real fruit ice cream to Northwest Austin, with a shop proposed at 3637 Far West Boulevard. A new state filing describes a $350,000 interior remodel of a 1,390-square-foot suite, giving the Far West corridor a potential new stop for the Austin-area dessert brand.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation registration, filed November 2, identifies the project as Zeds Real Fruit Ice Cream. It describes work inside an existing suite to create an ice cream shop, rather than construction of a new standalone building.

What the Zeds Far West filing shows

The estimated construction window runs from December 1, 2026, through April 1, 2027. Those dates describe the proposed building work; they are not an announced opening schedule. The $350,000 figure is also a construction estimate, not a confirmed final investment.

For nearby residents, the address is the clearest piece of location information so far. The filing places the project on Far West Boulevard in the 78731 ZIP code, but it does not identify a suite number. That leaves the exact storefront within the property unconfirmed.

The shared address also needs care: Wholy Bagel lists its Far West shop at 3637 Far West Boulevard. An address match alone does not establish that Zeds is replacing that business or any other tenant.

Real fruit, blended into an Austin-area expansion

Zeds describes its specialty as New Zealand-style ice cream prepared on-site with real frozen fruit. That fruit-based preparation is what distinguishes the concept from a filing that merely identifies an unnamed ice cream tenant.

The brand’s current location directory lists East Side at 1814 Harvey Street, Tarrytown at 2727 Exposition Boulevard, Suite 128, and Westlake at 3736 Bee Caves Road, Suite 8. The directory did not list Far West when checked November 2.

The proposed shop would extend the brand’s listed footprint into Northwest Austin. However, the available sources do not establish a Far West menu, hours, seating arrangement or opening date. Offerings at an existing Zeds location should not automatically be treated as the future shop’s lineup.

What remains to be confirmed

The filing provides a location, project size and preliminary construction timetable, but not a finished design or customer-ready opening announcement. The next useful details for readers will be the suite number and a location-specific update from Zeds.

For Northwest Austin residents, the proposed Far West location would bring Zeds’ New Zealand-style real fruit ice cream to another part of the city, expanding the brand’s presence beyond its existing Austin-area shops.
