The Story

Stepping into Graeter's feels like a sweet trip back in time, where the colorful scoops and cheerful chatter fill the air with old-fashioned delight. Each rich, small-batch bite, from creamy cone to towering sundae, brings a taste of pure Americana joy to Lexington. It’s the kind of cozy parlor where memories are made over generous servings and the simple pleasure of an icy treat.

    We stopped by Graeter’s Ice Cream while exploring Lexington and it was the perfect treat. I got a cone with raspberry sorbet and blackberry chip, and the flavors were incredible. The sorbet was super refreshing and the blackberry chip had those signature big chocolate chunks Graeter’s is known for. We also tried a cup with salted caramel and lemon meringue, topped with vanilla drizzle and nuts, which was unbelievably good. The combination of sweet, salty, and creamy flavors was perfect. Everything tasted super fresh and high quality. If you’re in Lexington and want a great dessert stop, this place absolutely delivers.

    Graeter's used to be the best ice cream place in town. However, that's no longer the case. The ice cream is still the best but customer service has gone downhill. Rude employees with bad attitudes and obvious disregard for costumers and rising prices have made visiting and sponsoring the place a very negative experience.

    We had ice cream here twice! The ice cream is VERY GOOD! Lots of delicious and unique flavors to choose from! Highly recommend if you are in Lexington, Kentucky.

    I wanted something sweet after my lunch, and this place was next door. The person working helping me out was very friendly and knowledgeable about the flavors of the ice cream. She let me sample a few of the flavors. I ended up with the limited flavor - Flying Pigs Tracks - it has peanut butter cups mixed with fudge swirl ice cream. It was very good and satisfied my cravings.
