48 Best Ice Cream Shops in Louisville

“First time visitors! Banana milkshake did not disappoint. We will definitely be going back because I want to try their Italian Water Ice! Everything looked great!!“

“So glad I found this spot! Great flavors, great deal! Bring the whole family! Lots of options not just froyo“

“This is the best ice cream I've had in years. The butter pecan was amazing! Has the nostalgic real ice cream taste from when I was kid.“

“First of all, we are not even sweets eaters. But, after our recent trip to Italy for the first time, we have been longing for authentic gelato. Stopped in tonight to get some to go, honestly was trying to keep my hopes reasonable. Bought mint choc chip, salted caramel and orange creamsicle. Tried two and oh my!!! The creamy texture and flavors took us right back! Love this place and will return!“

“Unique ice cream flavors and treats as well as great service!! I don’t get to go to Louisville Cream often but when I do, it’s 100% worth it!“

“Top flight ice cream shop, good variety of flavors, i love the Blue monster personally. They load you up with ice cream so it's a great value as well. I'd highly recommended coming here for your ice cream fix. They recently expanded their menu to include food items. I however, never tried them.“

“A MUST visit!! Visiting here from Minnesota, was told this place is the best. Did not disappoint.
First, splendid customer service. Ellie served us, helped us sample, was extremely patient with me being a newbie, explained things well, was kind and all done with a great smile!
Then, Grant the manager heard I was from out of town and offered me a Chip Wheelie to try, which he paid for!!
Lastly, The Black Raspberry Chip is TO DIE FOR!! BEST I have EVER had, and I have traveled alot and love ice cream. Wish I could give MORE than 5 stars!!“

“My favorite Graeter's location. I usually get the same thing, but tried the seasonal peach melba sundae last night. Their peach ice cream is better than anyone else's. It was good, a little too sweet for me. They should use salted almond slivers instead of the candied ones. IMO that would be better. Back to the usual next time. Lol“

“Walked in today right as the owner was closing. He had already cleaned all equipment and once I noticed and apologized for walking in so late, he encouraged me to stay and offered to make me a shake and tea combo. It's rare today to not get turned away at close and I greatly appreciated the hospitality. And the shake and tea were fantastic; I feel much better!“

“Everyone in our group got something different and all of it was great! I'm happy to have found d this little shop.“

“I went to the Graeter's Ice Cream at 9430 Brownboro Rd. Louisville, Kentucky 40241. I walked in and the 5 caucasion kids working behind counter was just staring at me. I walked to counter and said I was picking up order. 3 more caucasian people walked through the door and everybody said "welcome in" That establishment is blatantly racist.“

“Their ice cream is just always delicious“

“Firat of all, I do NOT recommend, I don't why it says I do! I've visited Dairy Del many times in the past and have noticed that the quality has greatly diminished the past couple years. I believe the hype is because they're only 1 of 2 places in the neighborhood that serves soft serve and everybody looks forward to them opening for the year. But after tonight, I will never go back. I will drive further and go to Dairy Kastle (on Eastern Pkwy) instead. It seems the staff at Dairy Del doesn't care about putting out a even DECENT product. I know,.it's ice cream. How bad can it be, right? Well, it CAN be so bad that I will never go back. This is after giving them chance after chance to get it right. For instance, the banana split I got included mini scoops of ice cream (not exaggerating when I say "mini") & I couldn't even see the 3 different syrups. The heath flurry...the ratio of heath to ice cream was def not acceptable & it wasn't mixed well at all. I should have refused it or had them remake it, but honestly I was kinda in disbelief at what I was seeing & my bf was driving off as I was checking it out (while saying how much of a total rip off this was). I can get a better product at someplace like DQ, & for less money. I believe the staff has gotten worse each year & they simply don't care about putting out even a decent product. It's def not worth the hype! Do better guys, if you care about giving your customers what we deserve!!“

“DELICIOUS! They have excellent ice cream and several fruit based desserts as well. Latin establishment. Broaden your horizons if you have never tried anything beyond 31 flavors. It is totally worth it!

Regarding another review, the pistachio is in fact wondrous!“

“The food here is great. Have had the Korean corn dogs, hot dog and the mozzarella are both great choices. Love them with potato on them. My family has tried many other dishes here and all of it has been very good they also really like the boba tea here“

“10/10!! Love These cookies so much and the hype is real. I love that they change the menu every Monday and I look forward to finding things I haven’t tried and also their secret menu. The Benson Boome Moonbeam Icecream cookie is out of this world no pun intended.“

“Prepare to be amazed by the sheer magic that is The Comfy Cow ice cream haven! My heart is still fluttering from the extraordinary experience I had with the incredibly fabulous Carrie, the maestro behind my sons ice cream cake creation. Picture this: I was in a cake crisis, left high and dry by a completely different establishment that failed to deliver the pre-ordered masterpiece I had been eagerly anticipating for over a week. Desperation set in as I reached out to several places, only to be met with helpless shrugs and apologies. But then, as if guided by a force of fate itself, I was connected with the enchanting Chantel from The Comfy Cow. With their usual grace and charm, they turned the impossible into reality. Brace yourselves, because this ice cream haven usually crafts their delightful creations with a 3-day lead time. Yet, armed with a dash of determination and a sprinkle of fairy dust, Carrie Ramirez from The Comfy Cow's Middletown location emerged as the hero to create a breathtaking ice cream cake for my son in under 24 hours. Yes, you read that right - UNDER 24 hours! Let's talk dedication, folks. Carrie not only stayed late into the night but also emerged from her dreams to ensure that my son's ice cream cake would be an unforgettable masterpiece. My gratitude knows no bounds, and my joy is so immense it could power a thousand birthday parties. And now, dear readers, I must hang my head in shame as I admit that this review comes a tad fashionably late. You see, I was so wrapped up in the delight of this ice cream cake that the days simply slipped through my fingers like sand. The cake was triumphantly unveiled on July 8th, and here we are on the glorious August 9th, penning these words with heartfelt apologies for my tardiness. In conclusion, if you're looking to be transported to a world where ice cream cakes are created by fairy godmothers and dreams come true, look no further than The Comfy Cow. Every bite is a taste of the extraordinary, every moment spent with this wonder-worker, Carrie, is a memory to cherish. If her bosses are reading this, take heed: Carrie is the embodiment of ice cream enchantment, and if anyone deserves a raise, it's this magnificent soul. So, dear reader, don't just walk, run to The Comfy Cow and let their frozen wonders cast a spell on your taste buds. Trust me, it's an experience you'll be recounting for years to come.“

“Stopped to grab a coffee and sign a contract with my realtor because it was close by and it was the perfect stop for a delicious lemonade, a pumpkin spice latte, and free wifi. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area again.“

“Small batch, extra creamy ice cream. Great flavors 🍨“

“Nice atmosphere, friendly courteous staff an delicious food whatever you get. We really enjoyed our first visit there today.“

“Dirt Drive thru service only. When i arrived there wasn't much activity. I was pleasantly surprised with the swirl cone i ordered, with the size, texture, taste of the ice cream, and the freshness of the cone. I would've giving it a 4.5 star because i went back during the week past 2 pm, and they were closed, although Google indicates different operating hours. But the cone was delish. I highly recommend stopping by. Service was professional, and courteous. I was in the area on a business trip. I miss it!!“

“They were amazing! They came and served ice cream to the disabled adults we support. They were kind and wonderful. Thank you for coming to our event!“

“Chocolate mocha almond fudge donut ice cream sandwich“

“I enjoy going to this culvers like atleast 1 time a week. The frozen custard is to die for along with some fresh fries or a butterbuger OMGOODNESS people. Im not a super fan of fast food. Culvers doesn't feel like any fast food place thou. Its so inviting and always smiling faces and helping hands. I love ice cream but frozen custard ive been missing out just fount this place to live for. I have been missing out but not anymore..thank you for being so friendly and inviting.“

“This place has just about everything! Sandwiches, coffees, teas, boba, Ramen bowls, Pho, burgers, subs, even specialty corn dogs, and amazing bakery items! Super nice people and everything was great tasting and good serving amounts, all for a decent price in my opinion. Also was playing nice music and had nice decor. Can't wait to go back!“

“The zebra coffee, cheesecake, and pineapple upside down cake were phenomenal! Camille is so kind and down to earth. The environment makes you feel right at home.“

“We had a good experience here. Raquel was very friendly and approachable, explained us the menu and made us good suggestions. The food was amazing and service was on time. We’ll definitely come back and recommend it to friends and family.“

“Brittany at Fern Creek store was amazing. She was very helpful and professional and got us together for last minute treats for our son’s birthday!“

“Came to watch volleyball and got my socks knocked off by the goat curry. When I got out of my ca, I was immediately hit by a wall of delicious food smells. Last time I was here, I guess I was too late for food. Never again will I be too late for food. The goat was supremely tender and the curry was mild enough for most folks. I got this with the rice and beans + veggies. Definitely coming back for the food.“

“I've been here 10+ times and haven't had a negative experience yet.

- The kids' meals are great.
- The burgers are delightful.
- The sundaes are tasty.
- The chili cheese fries work as an entree

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly fastfood joint.“

“mal servicio estube una hora para q me dieran mi producto 🤟🤟“

“Literally the best dairy Queen in louisville, maybe the best one in the entire state. Service is always incredibly fast, and the food never tastes like it's been sitting out or was overcooked. I literally drive out of my way to go to this location anytime I want dairy queen, they are fantastic.“

“We were so excited for our PTA to organize this yummy food truck for our staff! What a wonderful treat for our teachers who have a limited amount of time to catch lunch! Orders were placed ahead of time so it was not only speedy but really delicious too! 😋“

“Brittany at Fern Creek store was amazing. She was very helpful and professional and got us together for last minute treats for our son’s birthday!“

“Cute little Creperie stand in the Logan St Market. Crepes were made well, however they ran out of onions and peppers?? Unsure how you can run out of something so basic. The person in the stand had plenty of time to do some mise en place between orders.

The dessert crepe we had—Nutella Deluxe—was very tasty and properly stuffed, whereas the savory one had hardly any toppings. Otherwise, I would’ve rated this place 5 stars.“

“The lady who helped me at the front counter is amazing. I was there to pick up a last meal for my dog before I put him down. I asked her what she recommended because I was just picking random things. She told me to try just regular hamburger patties, no bread ( I didn't know you could do this), and a plain vanilla pup cup. The only thing he wanted to eat was the hamburger patties. She was amazing helping me out, even when I started to cry, which I kept apologizing for. I wish I would have thought to get her name. She got my food quickly for me, which I appreciated. And as I left, she said she would keep me in her prayers. She is a wonderful human being.“

“Culver's frozen custard at 11801 Interchange Dr in Louisville, KY, offered a delightful treat during my road trip. As a self-proclaimed frozen custard snob with a penchant for Planters chocolate in WNY, I was pleasantly surprised by Culver's hand-scooped version. While it lacked the familiar soft serve texture, the custard was undeniably rich and sweet with excellent flavor. However, Planters still reigns as my gold standard in the world of frozen custard. Nevertheless, Culver's provided a satisfying and enjoyable experience on my journey.“

“Brittany at Fern Creek store was amazing. She was very helpful and professional and got us together for last minute treats for our son’s birthday!“

“Delicious cookies, great service.“

“Awesome place to eat and visit. I would recommend Guy Fieri's restaurant. Food was outstanding and wasn't a bad price.“

“I dont know why there is this many one star reviews, but when I went to this ice cream shop it was phenomenal. The workers are very nice and the ice cream was great. The inside was fairly nice too a little dirty but the workers were trying their best on cleaning. The inside was also pretty chill a lot of decorations that looked cool. You guys should try this!“
