They make a real banana split with a split banana, a big scoop of chocolate vanilla and strawberry ice cream with pineapple, strawberries hot chocolate, whipped cream, nuts with cherry on top. It was delicious and the server was the sweetest. read more

The wait here was crazy. Only 3 customers ahead of us & in the whole store, and it took 30 minutes to get our shakes. No exaggeration. This poor employee was by herself trying to scoop rock hard ice cream and run both the register and the orders. The strawberry shake was good, the chocolate malt was nothing special but we will definitely go somewhere more efficient next time. read more

Love love love this store! Retro store but such great vibes. They're so nice, even when it's taking awhile because they're making everything when you order it. The fact that they have veganice cream topping is amazing (literally tastes like ReddiWhip), and the dairy free bases are so good for someone with a dairy sensitive tummy. Definitely try them! read more

I went through the drive-thru and ate at the picnic tables outside. Tasty ice cream! They definitely prioritize the indoor shoppers though -- there was a very long wait in the drive-thru. I like the mural and the color of the picnic tables. read more

The service was HORRIBLE as soon as I walked in got looked at with a face of disgusted by the workers. They were being racist treating the other customers(white) differently than my family(Hispanic) read more

The cutest ice cream shop in all the land! The vegan Oreo milkshake is to die for. The brownie sundae is so good too! This is a must stop and take a photo kind a place!! read more

Definitely amongst my favorite ice cream spots in the area, not only for the quality of the ice cream but for the whole vibe in general. The interior is curated to reflect a classic diner/ice cream parlor, even the uniforms match the environment. The ice cream tastes fantastic no matter the flavor, and has the perfect creamy texture. Additionally, their offerings extend to floats and sundaes. The staff is always super friendly, and offer efficient service. Pricing is fair, especially considering it is a smaller ice cream shop. There is some fun seating inside, stools at the bar with the milkshakes and sodas, and a couple smaller tables. Great for small groups but maybe not for large, however there are some picnic tables outside one can sit at. Would definitely recommend read more

Very clean, old school vibe ice cream shop! Loved it!! The staff was very attentive and loved the different options available. read more

Freshie’s - Left: Mint Avalanche; Right: Rockin' CROCS They made the waffle bowl on the spot and I got extra oreos on top - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I love freshies! It has this 50s dinner look inside and they play the music of that era! I've cream is served in real dishes if eating inside which is an extra special treat to make you feel like you are in one of those ice cream / soda parlors of years past. The ice cream is top notch. It's extremely creamy and all the flavors I have tried have been so delicious. They also have quite a few vegan options which you don't see with many ice cream shops. I get the mint chip regularly and I'm not even vegan it's just that good! This time I tried their spumoni which had real cherry and pistachio prices in it. It was superb. I also tried the chocolate and it was a chocolate lovers dream! They also make their own sodas here with syrup like in the old days! I'd highly recommend checking them out! read more

Super cute!!! I took The kids i was watching and they loveed it and was able to get ice cream for six people for only 25$ and the all loved it my favorite is mango magic. The Workers are always so nice. read more

First time Wow what's and awesome taste of freshness. They have so much to pick from. I choose the chocolate banana milk shake. Very rich in taste and flavor! read more

Best ice cream in Lexington. Love all the flavor options. My favorite is the banana pie.

Ice cream was delicious. Cute shop and theme. However no greeting when I walked in the door, creating a weird and unwelcome vibe for me. So close to my house, but I won't be back. read more

Icecream is slightly sour, waffle cone is super sweet. It was our first time here so we wanted to look at the menu and see prices, the lady inside was so rude and abrasive to both us and her other coworker. read more

So much for wanting a summer treat. I went to an ice cream shop near my apartment and ordered a rainbow ice cream soda because it sounded good. I took a sip and it tasted like medicine. I told the lady I didn't like it. I guess she got offended, as if I was saying it was her fault. She yelled at me when I asked for a replacement or refund. She fussed at me in front of children and yelled, 'Yeah, we don't really do that here, too bad, so sad.' I don't like teenagers sometimes. read more

I've been a long time freshie's fan, but every time I've gone the wait gets longer and longer. Waited 10 minutes in the drive thru then decided to just go inside. Then waited an additional 25 minutes when it was just one order ahead of me in person then one order from the drive thru (who pulled in after I pulled out). They need more than one person working at a time... I'm willing to pay $9 for ice cream if I don't have to wait over half an hour to even place an order. read more

What a fun place! I got the sundae and it was amazing. They also have a soda fountain that looked cool.

Ice cream in the neighborhood, and with a drive thru. Freshie's is cute as can be with it's little soda fountain in Springy pastels. There is seating inside and out, and picnic tables on the side of the building. I ordered the Latte da, a delicious combination of espresso and chocolate, one of my favorites. Annie, the owner is delightful. She even made a chocolate egg cream for me to taste, a bit of nostalgia. Growing up in New York, I had my share of the tasty soda fountain specialty. Do go and Freshie up your day. read more

Fun ice cream shop with an old fashion soda fountain set up and atmosphere. The staff are young but attentive and very nice. The menu is expansive and it's honestly hard to choose what to try outside of a scoop of ice cream. Ice cream is from a creamery and is delicious. They also have vegan options. Portions are large for the price. Super clean. Tons of flavors to choose from. Enjoyed the brownie sundae and will be back to try other things from the menu. If you don't want to come inside they also have a drive thru. read more

Looking for the best local icecream shop look no further for this is top tier creamy goodness! Your tastebuds will be sent into another dimension for the many different flavors with quality ingredients and options that cater to vegans and those who are chasing the low sugar life. One scoop is enough as you'll see the portions are giant but if you want to save $2 go for the double scoops and get another flavor you won't be disappointed. I always am for Baskin Robbins, Graeters or Coldstone but the thing that puts Freshie's above the rest is the drive thru it makes it all too easy to pull in and see the flavors of the week as they rotate frequently which is a plus for me since I sometimes get tired of seeing the basic vanilla or chocolate all the time. Sell pints too if you need to cater for a group of people and don't have time to run into a store. read more

Freshie’s - Choco-lotta and Big Blue - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Freshies ice cream has been a regular spot for a yummy vegan treat pretty much since we moved to Lexington 6 months ago. We have tried about half the vegan flavors and usually opt for simple vanilla or chocolate. The ice cream is creamy and delicious. The interior of the shop is absolutely darling. The only downside is that it gets busy and so the drive thru is really hit or miss. It can be dreadfully slow but same with inside. It's worth the wait tho. It's delicious and so cute. Have also tried a few different soda flavors. We love Freshie's and will continue to stop by when we're in the area :) read more

Adorable atmosphere. A real throwback. The night that we went there were even little leaguers sitting on stools at the counter. Fun combinations or make your own. Effort was made to make food artistic and pleasing to the eye. read more

Really cool ambiance. Feels like a timey soda shop with bar seating. Ice cream does not disappoint. Little out of the way for most of Lexington but worth the trip. 10/10 will go again. read more

First off this shop is gorgeous! Every detail was taken into account. And then the ice cream! My little girls and I ate a lot of ice cream and then had some soda floats! Loved this place so much! I was happy to hear about two locations. When we are back in town we will definitely be going back! read more

Larfa here!! I came back for more! This time I indulged in a XL Chocolate milkshake (apparently a fan favorite, according to nice, young, gentle, red haired girl). After paying, I signed up for my $2 off reward (yay!) and made my way to the bar and sat next to a kind, elderly woman named Terry. She had a shirt that stated "Everything is Awesome" (LEGO movie reference). Freshies really seems to attract the LEGO fans!! I say this because last time I visited, I met another LEGO enthusiast. The wait was a tad longer than I wanted, but I didn't mind since Terry was there. As I drank my milkshake in the presence of Terry, a rush of dissatisfaction took over me. This was the moment I realized, that the beautiful, young, charming, Annie (my look alike) was not working. Maybe next time, Annie. Anyways, the milkshake was one of a kind, and next time I plan on trying a soda. And I plan on visiting again. And Annie must be there when I do. read more

FRESHIE'S is the best! The ice cream is phenomenal - flavorful and scrumptious and there are a plethora of options! I go to Freshie's at least once a week - I love it! And, I tell everyone about it! I'm going to totally miss it when I'm out of town over the summer! The flavors not only rock, but the folks who work there are super! I always feel appreciated when I go there and I get served with a smile - ALWAYS. So glad they're in the "neighborhood"! It is a sheer delight to go to Freshie's - I've met friends there and I get carryout weekly, it is the place to go no matter how you're indulging! read more

We went quite a while ago, but it's always somewhere my kids talk about going back to. Ambiance is perfect - delightful colors, lovely nostalgic feel. The ice cream was good, and as the mother of a dairy sensitive kid, I deeply appreciate the vegan options. Our soda jerks (are they still called that?) we're helpful and friendly. We will hopefully be back sooner rather than later! read more

Went for the first time because the place always looked so cute. Tried their pistachio ice cream (huge fan of it) and it was half melted and not tasty... in fact it was like Irish spring soap made into an ice cream. Tried my husbands, and was way too peanut buttery it was horrible. To add, the workers were very judgy and unfriendly. It's a skip read more

Oh my! The cutest ice cream shop. They even have a drive thru if you're not able to get out of your car. The milkshakes are delicious! Your kids will love it and so will you. read more

I love that there is this new ice cream place nearby. I've had the chocolate shake and it was delicious. Like a homemade shake. My daughter had the strawberry/banana shake and it was just as good.
