Me & my wife stopped in for ice cream and we were well satisfied!Portions are generous, service was great, and the flavors are unique. Goat cheese and honey ice cream is great. Samples are free and necessary to narrow down the choices.The shop itself is cool, sit and people watch through the large windows. Enjoy the memorabilia on the walls. When you're finished, there's cool water and cups available.Kid-friendliness: It's ice cream, kid approved!

It is good but not the best ice cream you can get in the area.

Lovely small ice cream place. Kulfi ice cream was great here. I love the concept of micro cup size here. For somebody who can't eat much large size ice cream, micro size cups are great to have. Service was nice. Recommend the place.

Over priced ice cream.

Ranc's is a family-owned gem in Lexington, a true local ritual. It's been part of every family holiday, birthday, and celebration for me. I have always found it funny that no matter how cold it gets, people in Massachusetts still want to eat ice cream. Their vegan options are a standout - they've been offering dairy-free choices way before it became a trend. The strawberry and coconut vegan flavors are my go-to. The staff's always welcoming and give off homey vibes. I especially adore the handwritten ice cream board, giving it that authentic touch. Ranc's isn't just an ice cream shop; it's a staple of Lexington culture.

Great ice cream - cocoa Joel is a combination of different chocolates including chips. Mexican chocolate is another favorite.

Been going here since the 90's. Very high quality, rich ice cream with many varieties. I usually get a hot fudge Sunday. Their hot fudge sauce is really excellent! It's well organized and they seem to know how move through a crowd! Staff is great. Don't forget to support their college education with good tips
Best ice cream in the area hands down. Always has been, always will be. Staple of downtown Lexington.

So happy we were introduced to Ranc’s! Our family is vegan and their vegan coconut cream and mango ice cream (yes, ice cream, not just sorbet) is amazing! We’ve been to many ice cream shops and none as tasty as this one. And thanks to Katie for the warm smile and great service!

Ice cream is terrific, just wished wasn’t that expensive.

This is a small chain of ice cream shops (3) with unusual flavors and toppings.
