My experience at Every's Ice Cream was nothing short of memorable. As we strolled through the…read moredowntown area... i was immediately drawn to the inviting atmosphere of this small, family-run shop. Known for being new to the ice cream scene in Lafayette, Indiana, it didn't disappoint. The service was impressively swift, ensuring that we could enjoy our treat without any unnecessary wait. For two, sharing three scoops was a delightful decision, as the portion sizes were generous, offering excellent value. We indulged in espresso and blueberry cheesecake, alongside peanut butter fudge each flavor offering a rich and satisfying experience. This establishment is highly recommended for anyone seeking a cozy spot to enjoy ice cream sourced directly from a local farm in southern Indiana. I'll definitely be returning to Every's Ice Cream for another taste of their creamy ice cream, that is around 16 percent butter fat , which is high for the industry and the smooth textures confirmed this! We also found it is not overly sweet so that you can taste the flavors intended. RATINGS & LOGISTICS: - Atmosphere: 8/10 - Food Quality: 9/10 - Service/Flow: 9/10 - Value: 9/10 - Would Return: Yes. I'll be back.

They have a spacious seating area indoors but when it's nice out I prefer to sit outside even if it's on the rocks. Parking in this area is congested and sometimes hard to find but you'll always find a spot. We got there and it was busy but while we ordered and paid the line was almost out the door. It gets so busy and they're open until 11 which is great. Also located on campus. Even though it gets busy it moves fast. If you see a line don't be afraid it moves!

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.

Don't forget to ask for their frequent buyer card and get little stamps for opportunities at free items!

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.

I don't even like ice cream, but I found myself at this Igloo Frozen Custard to get myself a little…read moretreat. This place is a chain, but it's a local chain within the Lafayette area, so it's still hyper-local, in my mind. If I'm getting ice cream, or frozen custard, as it were here, I need to get ice cream with "stuff" in it that I can chew. I'm not a big fan of the sweet mucus, if you know what I mean. (And I don't expect you to know what I mean, because you're not insane like I am.) When I saw that Igloo has chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches, I knew that's what I'd get! You can definitely chew an ice cream sandwich. One bummer is that I walked up to this joint and tried to go inside, but it was closed! I guess Igloo just functions as a drive-thru ice cream place most of the time. That was actually fine by me, because I just wanted to enjoy my ice cream treat in the comfort and seclusion of my vehicle.

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.

The thing to get at McCord Candies is the marshmallow Coke, apparently. This is what I was told by…read morea local who I was visiting with, who chose, as his treat, a soda over the thousand other sweet things available at this old-fashioned candy store. The sodas are served with rabbit-turd ice (unquestionably the best kind of ice). And they are made with real syrups and stirred together, like they used to do back in the olden days when the world was black and white, and the people behind the counter creating your drink were called soda jerks. You can also order a soda with other flavors stirred in, like butterscotch, chocolate, cucumber, cherry, lavender and the like, plus phosphates, floats, malts, Italian cream sodas, dirty sodas, freezes, tea, lemonade, ice cream scoops, sundaes and shakes. If it's sweet and you can drink it or let it melt in your mouth, they can probably make it here for you behind the soda counter at McCord Candies. You'll also find candy and chocolates, of every variety and permutation imaginable. Many of the candies and chocolates are made in-house, like their candy canes, which you can see being made right in front of you around the holidays. If you like sweets, you will find something here. Take your goodies to go, or you can go upstairs and enjoy them where there are a few tables and a nice view of the candy store below. There are also some vintage clothing and knickknacks for sale that you can peruse.
