36 Best Ice Cream Shops in Louisville

“What a delight!! Cake batter and vanilla yogurt flavors for the win. A great selection of toppings were offered (Buckeyes were my favorite)! Thanks for an enjoyable experience!“

“Stopped in on my way to work, and was very impressed. Very friendly, and welcoming environment. honestly, chain Cafe establishments have nothing on this place. 10/10. I'll be back again. I also recommend the Blak Girl Magic.“

“HIGHLY recommend. Excellent customer service, lots of dessert options. We love the horchata italian ice. They have books for the kiddos and the space is always clean. Good prices too!“

“Delicious ice cream, and the shop is cute!“

“The ice cream is very good. We had a waffle cone with raspberry cookies and cream and a cup of banana pudding and bourbon pecan something. I would agree with other reviews about the few seats inside and the personality of the staff. We timed it right with a parking spot right in front and no line inside but within 15 minutes the line was out the door. One of our servers was very happy to see us...the other guy had the personality of a stale ice cream cone. But the ice cream is good and I'd love to try a sundae so I'd go back.“

“Had my first experience with King Donuts today picking up donuts for my coworkers! They were so delicious and the staff member was very friendly and helpful! I’ll definitely be back ❤️“

“Quaint restaurant with good home cooking.“

“Cookies are absolutely phenomenal, I rarely have any complaints as they are genuinely some of the best cookies I've ever had! Crumbl is unique in the sense that their menu changes every week with a new selection of tasty cookies, so if the selection one week is not your favorite you can come back another week and try their newest assortment. Quick service in and out in no time at all and the ability to self order via computer makes the process go that much quicker. The wait is short and the cookies are the bomb! Overall, 5/5.“

“Super the place, we loved it and we will return many more times! Ideal to have a little sleep to the soul, I felt like I was sitting in a cafe that was in Cuba called "Los pochos" it brought me very good memories, I'm really delighted with the place! Very good service ? and the exquisite food so far the best I've been to in Louisville! ??“

“Wowowow. What a great little ice cream shop! It really gives you a small town feel. There are so many flavors to choose from and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I was so happy with my cookies and cream waffle cone. You know it's good when people are waiting in the cold for ice cream. I can't wait to go back and try one of their sundaes“

“Had a great experience this afternoon. wonderfully nice staff and delicious cookies!“

“Comfy Cow has became a family staple! We love the different flavors and this is our favorite location. The employees are so nice and keep everything very clean. Not sure what to get? They have free samples! Be sure and ask about their doggy ice cream too, which our four legged friend loves to eat!“

“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!“

“I stopped in Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen for dessert and was not disappointed! The lady who waited on us was phenomenal! I recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and service. You also must try the caramel apple pie. It is to die for!!Parking: Parking along Lexington Road is available but there is more parking along the Frankfort Avenue side of the building if no spots are available along Lexington Road.“

“Delicious ice cream, and the shop is cute!“

“It almost hard to believe how high the quality of the food and service is here. The chicken sandwich is the best I've found anywhere, and the fried fish rivals what I'd normally pay $18 for. Sure, it costs $1 than other places but they don't prompt you for adding a tip to the payment. Plus they deliver the food to your table. Other restaurants should follow this business model.“

“Great experience. First time visiting the stores, greeted as we walked in and the sales associates delivered exceptional customer service. Friendly helpful patients and they know their product. I did not visit the restrooms. Seating for two or more at tables. We ordered milkshakes. Warning the shakes are not as dense as other restaurants. Delicious and you have plenty of flavors. Theres merchandise for sale. Located n busy street, near shopping. I would recommend“

“My new favorite go to place for ice cream and coffee! My favorite is the strawberry cheesecake! And Norma loves the vanilla!“

“I tried a level 3 combo (peanut butter cookie dough shake and a cherry limeade tea) both were great! The menu was explained super well, there were lots of options for flavors and nutrition boosts. Location was cute and clean, staff was super friendly and helpful! I'll definitely be back!“

“I have had no better Ice cream than the Ice cream that I have received here, except for the Ice Cafés of Europe.Parking: Small parking lot, but as good as their Ice cream is means that this small parking lot is all was some what full. This is not a big problem, because street parking is available all around the area.Kid-friendliness: This is a great place to take your little ones to enjoy some time with a great treat.“

“Delicious ice cream with spectacular service. I was allowed to try as many flavors as I wanted. Which included the following: Midnight snack- surprisingly tied for favorites. Ice cream with pretzels, brownies and peanut butter cups. Coffee- I was warned that the coffee flavor was strong but I loved it. Chocolate chip mocha was similar to coffee ice cream with chocolate pieces. It had huge chunks of chocolate which made it surprisingly better. Pumpkin- I settled on pumpkin ice cream with a sprinkled and chocolate rim cone. There were so many great flavors I honestly couldn't decide. Coconut chocolate chip- my wife's choice. which I usually don't like but it was decent. Fantastic ice cream parlor. Will visit again.“

“Very cute little ice cream place. There was only one girl there working that I saw but she was very sweet and explained what I had asked of her about a pie. She gave my kids a sample of the vegan chocolate ice cream because they were out of regular and they loved it. Would definitely go again.“

“This continues to be one of Louisville’s best spots. The new owners have kept DK’s recipes and traditions alive, while bringing it into the 21st century (they take credit cards now!).Vegetarian options: One of the few fast food spots in town that has decent veggie options“

“The staff is always polite and respectful. They really know the menu well enough that they can help you out with your questions and tough decisions for your family’s needs. Eat at a table or in your vehicle or take your to go. They’re open all year long too because ice cream ? cravings don’t disappear when Summer is over.Kid-friendliness: The staff realizes that the kids are their bread and butter. The kiddos are what brings in the business because of their parents!!“

“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.“

“I can't believe how long I waited to have the bahn mi ? It was sooo buttery and delicious, that bread was absolutely a winner! Plus the surprisingly flavorful tofu and pickled veggies were perfect. I've had several teas here before and they are always fresh and tasty. It's certainly a go to spot for a reason! Oh also I'm in love with the almond pastry ?“

“This little shop is located in a small strip mall off OldShepherdsville road. They have ice cream, popsicles, specialty treats and snack food options. The service is friendly and fast. There is seating inside the store. Parking can be a bit of a challenge at certain times off the day, if the other stores are busy.“

“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.“

“excelente calidad tanto de personas como los productos. muy profesionales y amables y sobre todo deliciosos helados y paletas en fin TODO“

“Always good burgers. I don't happen to like their butter pickles, so I just get mustard. Often, I bring my own hamburger dill!Also, fries are really good.If you do dessert, the turtle is wonderful. I get it without chocolate. My wife prefers them with chocolate.I recently got the double burger combo in Kentucky for just under $10.In Phoenix, I believe, that is impossible.“

“My husband and I decided to try our new neighborhood DQ on Taylor Blvd. I had a coupon that they didn’t accept and the manager kindly told me a nearby location that would accept it. I decided to stay based on the good reviews I had read and they did not disappoint. The young workers were kind and actually working hard. We sat down to wait and a young lady brought our blizzards to us instead of yelling out the order at the counter, which is what I’m used to. The blizzards were so delicious with our chosen toppings mixed abundantly throughout the entire cup. Thank you!! We will be back for sure.“

“We went for the first time today and OMG. We shared a churro sundae and it was so amazing, we can’t wait to come back. We also had lunch at the connecting restaurant and were blown away by how good it was. Hands down my new favorite restaurant.“

“This old, inexpensive, and local ice cream parlor is beyond delightful. The owners are so sweet and happy to have you. The ice cream and milkshakes are delicious and come in a variety of flavors. They also offer some food which is also great. I definitely recommend stopping here!!“

“Sadly we didn't have the excellent customer service the restaurant was known for. We were rushed thru without even getting a chance to think and so one of the kids was very disappointed. The flavor of the chocolate ice cream is outstanding along with the double chocolate chip and the vanilla bean but the strawberry left a lot to be desired....it didn't taste like anything except iced sugar.“

“Ice cream was pretty good. Two regular size- 2 small scoops was 10$. Cool atmosphere. We were only ones there. The c server seemed less than thrilled to be there, but managed to be polite. Nothing to write home about, but not disappointed either.“

“This was the best pie any of us had ever had. Even the ice cream was amazing. We tried the rhubarb, lemon merengue, and chess pie. Everything was amazing!! The workers were so patient with us when we ordered 6 different slices of pie and ice cream an hour before closing. Must try!!“
