Ice Cream Shops near St. Matthews

“Kid-friendliness: The staff member who was working on our visit (3/12/24) was very kind to my kids who have been wanting to try rolled ice cream for a bit now! ? They were very excited, which didn't seem to perturb him a bit thankfully!They got Cookie Monster rolls with sprinkles, chocolate chips, and M&M's which they just loved! My partner and I got the Morning Latte base without fruity pebbles, and added chocolate chips! ?Delicious ice cream, great experience, and wonderful staff!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I'm not usually a fan of chocolate flavors, but the chocolate ice cream I stumbled upon here was something different and delicious. The ice cream with strawberry syrup was special, and I thought that topping must have been made with a special recipe. This place is the best, unlike other Red Mango locations.“

“Cookie dough with cookie in it. The girl behind the counter added chocolate chips that I didn’t want and immediately corrected it. It was soooooooo good. I will recommend the small. I got the regular size and it was too much. I love sweets, but it was like getting extra icing on wedding cake… it’s just too much. Highly recommend. Regular is the same cost as a small Blizzard at Dairy Queen… cold stone is much better!

Parking: Lots of good places in this shopping mall… so if Qdoba or McAlisters are busy… hard to park. You can park at Wendy’s.“

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

“Literally the best Ice cream you can get. A honey bun and Cinnamon Toast Crunch in ice cream is pure genius. (Honey boo boo shaker)“

“My dad loved Ehrler's! So glad to know it's still around!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Louisville Cream: The Reason I No Longer Trust Other Ice Cream. I came to Louisville Cream expecting good ice cream… but what I got was a full-blown life-altering experience. 🍦✨ One bite and I swear I saw my childhood flash before my eyes—except better, because past me had no idea ice cream could taste this elite. The flavors?? Unreal. Unique, creamy, perfectly balanced—not just sugar and coldness like some lesser ice creams I won’t name. Every scoop is a work of art, and I’m starting to think they’ve unlocked some sort of dessert sorcery. 🪄🔥 The vibe?? So fun. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like a kid again but in a way cooler, more aesthetically pleasing setting. Like, yes, I will be ordering the largest possible serving while pretending I’m “just here for a little treat.” Final thoughts? Louisville Cream is dangerously good. I now crave it at all times and am fully considering adding “ice cream connoisseur” to my résumé just so I have an excuse to keep coming back. If you haven’t been yet, fix that immediately. Your taste buds deserve this. 🍦💖“

“Loved the s’mores delight.“

“My dad loved Ehrler's! So glad to know it's still around!!!“

“Every favor that I have tried this summer has been delicious. I have had curbside, delivery and in store and all all been great no issues. The staff is amazing and always friendly no matter how the day is going.
S'mores is my favorite right now, the mango sorbet is also refreshing.
But the banana pudding that you can only get in store it's just ok.
All in all Graeter's is GReat!“

“I love crumble! Its always clean and the cookies are great. Sometimes i wish they didnt change weekly tho

Parking: I always find parking close to the building

Wheelchair accessibility: Not a lot of wheelchair accessibility“

“Always good always! Graeter’s is well run establishment and it doesn’t matter what store you visit. However; the one on Breckinridge Lane is the Best! Hands down the best ice cream joint ever created. I mean they’ve been serving ice cream since 18 something. Top that? You cannot!

And did y’all know that inside the “circle” (could be misinformation but I have been to their stores in Cincinnati that have a whole bakery inside. Yes! Graeter’s sells donuts and pies and cakes and bakery stuff at select locations in Cincinnati. I thought I was in the candy land matrix! lol“

“This was my first time at Blak Koffee Cafe, and my wife and I will definitely be back. I had the Buffalo chicken wrap and it was delicious.“

“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!“

“We really like coming here and will continue however I have noticed that the tables are not wipe down from employees regularly just watch everyone’s reaction when it’s sticky on there tables i seriously got a large amount of a sticky arm I did not see it there and asked if they could wet a napkin for me the water fountain is turned off the manager had a short get together with the girls shaking his head no , they offered a cup of water, thank you I love my wife she wiped the other tables also I’m sure this was a health risk to ask for a wet towel and I apologized“

“We brought our son here (while visiting our other child at Norton’s) the staff was polite, prompt, and helpful. They were also patient while my son was trying to decide what he wanted. This is our favorite place to go in Louisville!!“

“I don’t like boba tea at all but WOW!!! They named this place wrong because the food is outstanding! I visit this restaurant each and every week because it’s my very favorite ❤️. I get bourbon chicken with noodles. I absolutely love it. I vote this to be the best restaurant in town“

“Their ice cream is just always delicious“

“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.“

“Always a tasty treat, the smores is my favourite! or the vanilla Nutella!“

“The maple square was amazing, and the service was fast but no one acknowledged me until they were handing me the food. Not a big deal but a simple wave would've made me feel more comfortable as it was my very first time in a Crumbl store.
That and how busy they were didn't help the atmosphere. I mean yay. You're busy. But it was a small area with 2 other people waiting and workers working their butt's off. Not a great atmosphere.“

“Ice cream is so good! And an amazing selection of items“

“Super cute local business with amazing hard scoop icecream, large menu, and an amazing view of the Louisville skyline with a park right across the street! Still open during construction, this will be my new go-to local icecream place of choice! Found this place via the “In My Halloween Eras Swifties” event on Eventbrite. Jill the owner is such a friendly, kind, genuine, caring soul. She put so much work into the event, everything was decorated impeccably and it was a great environment. We had Taylor music videos on the tv, games to play, pizza and icecream, friendship making station, and then streaming the Eras tour. I would recommend both this type of event and this business in general!

Parking: Parking available right at the shop, drive around the construction signs!“

“very cute place, will catch your eye passing down the streets. the parking is kind of tough, tough to go in & out. but, the customer service is impeccable, the prices are fairly cheap, the flavors are unique/expansive, and the sweet treats are delectable“

“This place is super good. The best place for horchata. Their in house ice creams and drinks are super refreshing anytime of the year. The green drink, Pistachio popsicle l, dorilocos and Strawberry are some among the best choices on the menu. This is a family owned Mexican store and you should definitely try when in Louisville.“

“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 drive thru was very busy, but they got everyone thru quickly and still got our order right. They had a gentleman bring out our order even before we left the winow from paying. He was just as Olaf with a big burger around his waste because today is Halloween. Adorable! Thanks for making our experience #1 everytime we visit!“

“Been going to this place since I was a kid. And for ice cream in Kentucky this is the best ice cream in Louisville KY. You have to get the black raspberry chocolate chip I usually am not a fan of fruity ice cream but this flavor actually made me love fruity ice cream. My new favorite flavor is the lemon meringue pie it's a balanced flavor of lemon marshmallow flavor. It has freeze dried lemon drops in it and pie crust I have purchased so many of this one flavor so many times this summer. They have a solid strawberry ice cream it makes one of the best strawberry milkshakes ever. If I ever move out of Kentucky one day graeters would be the first thing I'll miss from Kentucky.“

“Dairy Queen in Middletown, KY is by far the best fast food restaurant in Middletown! Their customer service is second to none! I appreciate seeing the owner and his family running this store. They take pride in every meal they prep! This place runs like a well oiled machine. It does not take much to see the difference between this restaurant and any other around. I give this restaurant and their employees 5 ⭐️’s.“

“My family and I wanted to try somewhere new for brunch. After looking at the pictures we decided to come here.
To start, parking is a bit tight. If you are handicapped it might be easier to park in the spots facing the street. (Obviously not the restaurants fault. Just wanted to mention that.)
Upon entering this place, it is very cozy & clean. You can order to go or take a seat at one of the several tables. It's refreshing to sit at a table, and the placemats actually stay in place. Silly detail, but it was noticed.
They have a lot of drink options and a good handful of food options. Unfortunately, they didn't have a couple of shake options or waffles available during our visit. Plan to go try these at a later date though. My husband had already eaten, so he just got some mozzarella sticks. My parents and I opted for some burgers and fries. Everyone liked their meals. Their fries had just the right amount of crunch, and the burgers were fresh / juicy.
Overall, this place is a hidden gem I'd suggest trying.
Shakes: 10/10 BTW

Parking: Parking spots are tight. There is a speed bump in between the restaurants. Some parking spots are marked for specific business.“

“Great little shop! Emma was so sweet and patient with our grandkids as they selected their goodies!“

“Delicious cookies, great for events!“

“Over the weekend I placed an order for a half sheet cake for my daughter’s baptism at the Highlands Pie Kitchen. When I picked it up I was absolutely SHOCKED at how bad the quality was. The writing was in print, and there were no decorative roses at all. I immediately called the Pie Kitchen in Fern Creek & asked if their baker had better penmanship and could fix the cake and they were working on my cake within 10 minutes. Their amazing baker Lance spent 45 minutes of his time redoing the cake and made it beautiful!!! I cannot thank the workers and Lance at the Fern Creek location enough for saving the day!“

“We Eat Culver's All the time but today was the first time we went inside. And Oh My Gosh. It was Amazing! So Hot and Perfect! Juicy Burger, Fries Crispy! But I have NEVER had a better Root Beer in my life!! I love this Jeffersonville Location!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Nice atmosphere! Great steak burgers, chocolate milkshake, & fries ! Friendly staff !“

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

“I really like this place. Staff and patrons very welcoming of kids. But parents there are a few issues you need to know about….1. Bring food. Pizza, McDs, Chick-Fil-A. The food truck on day we went didn’t have much my kid would eat and was pricey.2. Bring some sand toys and meet a friend there to keep kid entertained. Mine had more fun when another kid his age showed up.3. Your kid will think the bourbon slushies are an icee. Lol. So maybe grab one before you come.4. They don’t always have ice cream so don’t mention it.5. The sand. Mine wanted to go play on the court (which is always in use) with its beautiful, fluffy sand. There isn’t necessarily a kid sand area (that would be awesome!). Kids play on the side but this day it was very compacted. A woman there said it wasn’t always like this.6. Watch out for balls and people on court cuss. I don’t care but some might.Pros: contained place to tire out your kid while you have a beer and talk to other adults. We will be back.“

“Delicious cookies, great service.“

“I can't rate the atmosphere because we used the drive thru.

I ordered the blt with fried mushrooms. My partner ordered the catfish basket. It was all tasty.

The best thing was dessert. We ordered the upside-down banana split and the peanut butter milk shake. They were both delicious.“

“Welcoming to Kentucky area. Good coffee. Nice tables! Enjoyed it“
