Had to call a few times to actually get someone on the phone---but totally worth it! Had the #2 chocolate with chocolate crème frosting with chocolate chips in between the layers. Super light and not too sweet. Oreos decorated the top with chocolate ganache drizzled over the edges. The cake box was very high-end and tied with pretty ribbon. Miss Sugar provided the cutest set of plastic cutlery and paper serving plates with the cake. Will definitely order again if in the Purdue U area.

Budges Drive-In Ice Cream in Lafayette is a true local legend, drawing massive lines with good…read morereason. Their soft serve ice cream is nothing short of amazing, and the fresh, cooked-to-order hamburgers are a perfect savory counterpart; the barbecue burger, in particular, is an absolute must-try. My wife raves about their frozen treats, expertly blending soft serve with cookie dough and M&M's. It's clear this place is a gem when both loyal locals and curious tourists consistently flock here. The building itself, an iconic fixture in Lafayette since the 1960s, holds a rich history as one of the area's first drive-ins, adding an extra layer of nostalgia to every delicious bite. Despite the consistently long wait of about 15 minutes, the efficient service, rated 8/10, keeps things moving, ensuring you get your treats swiftly. Parking is surprisingly easy, a huge plus for a popular spot. While the energetic atmosphere (9/10) is undeniable, it's worth noting that Budges doesn't cater specifically to young children, lacking highchairs and perhaps better suited for older kids or adults looking for a classic drive-in experience. I will be back!

The food is inexpensive and delicious. The staff is friendly and so good about answering questions…read more This is my go-to spot when people want ice cream since I'm a sucker for soft-serve. I bring all my out of town visitors here and everyone loves it. Such a great spot and when the weather is good, you can enjoy your food or ice cream at a picnic table, in your car, or sitting nearby. Don't forget to ask for their frequent buyer card and get little stamps for opportunities at free items!

The room was large enough to find space for our group of five to comfortably converse and the ice cream was varied, delicious (I'd never heard of Hershey's ice cream before, but it was great), priced well (SO much more reasonable than other places we've recently visited) and served at the PERFECT temperature for happy eating texture. Westside Scoops is going to become a regular spot when I visit the area. Fantastic!

It was incredibly hot outside so we opted to enjoy our frozen custard in our car. We had the twisted chocolate and vanilla in regular and the chocolate in small. For those traveling with young children, it is good to note that there is a very nice park and playground minutes away. We didn't get a chance to check it out since it was getting late and we had another +1 hour drive home. But I bookmarked it for the next time we're in the area - Columbian Park SIA Playground.

The drive through is super convenient. My go to order is vanilla custard with marshmallow, strawberries, whip cream and pecans. I also love to order a marshmallow Coke; I know that sounds like an odd combination but it's my favorite. Their marshmallow sauce is the perfect consistency. Another favorite staple is their fruit drink.
