Love this new ice cream parlor in Richmond!
So cute on the inside!!! Obsessed with the decor and vintage vibes. The ice cream was phenomenal. Highly recommend getting the 4 scoop flight to try a variety!🍨♥️
Such a cute place, and the staff are so friendly and kind!
Love this place!!!
Service was fast and the ice cream was delicious! I highly recommend the Fat Elvis (peanut butter banana)!!
I took my kids here and we really enjoyed the look of their ice cream shop. The ice cream was delicious! We really enjoyed the atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back here soon.
The shop is so cute and welcoming. So many unique and delicious flavors. Can't wait to try the ice cream nachos next time!
Adorable ice cream shop! Great flavors and fast service! The Exhausted Parent flavor was good! They were fairly busy, but we got served quickly. My kids and I loved it! Will be back!
Just had a strawberry ice cream 🍨🍦 and strawberry syrup with whip cream in a waffle cup! It was delicious 😋
Loved our visit to Poppy’s Ice Cream as a family! From the moment we walked in, you could feel the warmth and care the owners have poured into this place. The atmosphere is welcoming, joyful, and full of the kind of charm that makes you want to linger a little longer.
And the ice cream… absolutely delicious! The flavors made it nearly impossible to choose — which just means we’ll happily be back again and again. Every detail felt thoughtful, from the quality of the ice cream to the experience they’ve created in the heart of downtown Richmond.
It’s always special to watch someone’s dream come to life, and you can truly feel the heart behind Poppy’s. Richmond is lucky to have this sweet new addition downtown.

The BEST ice cream you could ever dream of. Poppy’s is more than an ice cream and an entire experience. From the tiles on the floor to the door handles, you can tell they thought of everything. It feels like a break from the rush of everyday and a sweet treat in a charming place. There’s something for everyone from homemade waffle cones, Mimi’s hot fudge cake(HIGHLY RECOMMEND), ice cream nachos, to the OG single scoop in a cup.
Super adorable!!
Best ice cream in Richmond Ky
Me and some kiddos came in to celebrate the end of the school year and we had so much fun. From singing along with the radio, playing with the word wall and even overall decor, we loved our visit. Downtown Richmond has been needing a place like this.
These people who were on the ice cream truck served ice cream to everyone else at the EKU stadium accept middle schoolers. When a few of the students from middle school came up and asked, the server rudely declined, and then when a few others came up, someone said that their cousin owned the store, and then they got free ice cream. It was unfair to give out free merchandise to one, and not to others who were willing to pay.
