14 Best Ice Cream Shops in Lexington

“Where to even start?! Crank & Boom is the real deal! If you want creamy and delicious ice cream (yes, even the dairy free alternatives!) this is the spot for you! The employees are always so kind and will let you sample any of the flavors. There’s an option to pay it forward for anyone or a range of people you’d like to show appreciation for! Love this spot!!!“

“Such a cute little place tucked into a neighborhood with delicious gelato!! It reminded me of gelato in Florence. I had to try three flavors: hazelnut, tiramisu, and chocolate strawberry. My mom got the same except for the raspberry instead of strawberry. All we're great!“

“I am obsessed!!! I was in Lexington for a business and had the pleasure of trying this place for a few times and loved it so much each time. I ordered take out and I am not sure if they have seating space inside. The staff were all super friendly and helpful and assisted me in deciding what to order each time. Highly recommend their s'mores flavor!My only minor complaint would be that the custard was less frozen and sometimes melted but still the taste was SO amazing! P. S. Definitely one of my dessert choices to have before I die!“

“Great food! Super cute.My wife has been here before and loved it, so we had to come back and eat dinner. I got three pork tacos, she got a burrito and a strawberries and cream dessert and we were totally sated.The pricing was right and the food was good! We’ll definitely be back.Dietary restrictions: They were happy to answer questions about dietary concerns.Parking: Parking at the Pasadena shopping center is always awful.“

“Always enjoy a fresh cookie here! Customer service is great, staff takes care of the customer, ALWAYS! The Apple Store of cookies best describes it! Always flavor selection. Sugar cookie 12 pack, order up!Parking: Lots of open spaces to prevent door dings! Lots of lights on the parking lot.“

“I went with my fiancé and his family to this new Andy’s frozen custard location, and it was both tasty and neat!This location is a frozen custard-like diner, as a stand-alone building. They have seating outside of the building, and the windows are purely for ordering. The design of the sign and neon lights everywhere make it quite the spectacle in the night.Inside, you can see the staff hard at work, and the cool factory-styled dispensers full of custard! The staff member who helped me out at the window was so lovely and helpful.I got the James Brownie Jackhammer custard, which is a mix of brownie pieces, vanilla and chocolate custard, and caramel. It was absolutely delicious!This was a lovely first visit to Andy’s and we will definitely be back for more!Parking: There is lots of free parking right next to the outdoor frozen custard shop.Kid-friendliness: Frozen custard and ice cream; kids will love this place!“

“(Translated by Google) The selection of super marios ice creams and sorbets is amazing. I didn't even know such a place existed, but now it's one of my best places and I'll have to bring my parents here when they visit me.(Original)La selección de helados y sorbetes de súper marios es increíble. Ni siquiera sabía que existía un lugar así, pero ahora es uno de mis mejores lugares y tendré que traer a mis padres aquí cuando me visiten.“

“First time ever having a banana split and trying Freshies. It was so wonderful. I cannot have gluten and the ease of ordering directly off their menu was incredibly refreshing. They were out of bananas and one of the workers ran across the lot to buy them just after we ordered. Both workers were very quick and kind, while being busy just after taking our order.Each Ice-cream we ordered was amazing, but the coconut almond one was life changing. Thank you! We will definitely be back.Dietary restrictions: Tons of gluten free options!“

“I usually never go to Graeter's but the had something special. The special when I went was lemon meringue pie ice cream. I never knew this existed. I asked for a sample and it is all that it said it would be. I love all lemon favorited foods. I only purchased a single scoop, which was $6.04. I remember why I don't go to Graeter's. But I will say today it was well worth it.“

“Stopped in for some ice cream after eating at bourbon and Toulouse. It was phenomenal! We had the midnight snack ice cream which was chocolate covered pretzels, brownie, and chocolate peanut butter cups in a creamy milky ice cream flavor. Delicious!!!“

“Great service. Also, I really like one guy who brought me my food. Said don't forget to do our survey and shook my hand. That was very professional of him. I wish I had asked his name. Boss/owner or manager, please recognize this guy. I own a construction company, and he didn't care i was in the field clothes. I was not it my suit like I do that on days that I am not in the field. So, never judge the book by its cover. He didn't care about the looks and gave me warmest feelings. It has been a while since I visited Culver's, and today was a very pleasant welcome back handshake. Thanks again, buddy. I will visit agian to shake your hand.Parking: I was on my truck and 22feet trailer I could not fit in the parking lot. It was late lunch around 2.30pm but was not able to get in. Not big deal it has big parking lot with lots of store across the street.“

“This place is so whimsical! The atmosphere is fun, and the ice cream is delicious. We enjoyed the old soda bar vibe while catching up with friends. They make their waffle cones fresh for you, and they're really good. We got a sundae, waffle cup and a strawberry shake. There is a bit longer of a wait since they craft each treat individually, but you can tell the employees make everything fresh for you so it is worth the wait. This place is a novelty and it's a fun little stop.“

“This Orange Leaf location is fun, casual, and consistent with its sweet, cold froyo! My fiancé and I have been multiple times and their froyo is good in both summer and winter!The flavours here are delicious, ever-changing, and creative. The strawberry, orange, cheesecake, blueberry and white chocolate-dipped strawberry are my favourite flavours to mix and match together. The real fruit topping options, along with their popping fruit-flavoured boba are delicious and so refreshing.This place is a great stop for your froyo cravings. They seem to change their flavours every so often, so come back in different seasons and during different holidays to find new favourites!Parking: This location has is located in an outlet mall and has a few free parking spots outside of it.Kid-friendliness: The frozen yogurt flavours here are fun and the toppings range from fruit to candy, plus they have different syrups. Any kid would love coming here for a sweet and cold treat!“

“Delicious. We got the Bionico, and the sweet cream was delicious. Absolutely would visit again.Vegetarian options: While there is a lot of ice cream (so less vegan friendly - though there was sorbet) there was no meat products.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.“
