I was looking for a milkshake made from hard-pack ice cream (not the soft serve aerated stuff). When I looked at the photos for Legend on Yelp, I recognized Rob Kennedy, the owner. There's a story. I'm an engineer of food-processing machinery now retired, and Rob approached me 14 years ago with an idea for using liquid nitrogen to make ice cream, a process developed by several universities. I was in the process of retiring, so couldn't help him, but the idea was genius! Now, these many years later, I'm delighted to see his perseverance and success. Nitrogen ice-cream is always rich and flavorful, made from the freshest quality ingredients, often within 24-48 hours before it's sold. And in many cases (like milkshakes) it's created while you wait. Another feature is, that flavor options are endless--there is an extensive menu of ice-cream flavors you will not find anywhere else. My 16oz chocolate shake was thick, rich in cream, and over-the-top in its depth of flavor. I actually couldn't finish it, Sherrie had to. She didn't complain . Be prepared to pay more and get more. Legend's nitrogen shakes don't melt down to half the volume like a frosty from Wendy's (or the equivalents everywhere else). We're lucky to have this innovative option in Wenatchee! read more

THIS ICE CREAM IS TRULY LEGENDARY. This is our first time trying legend ice cream even though we've been visiting Wenatchee regularly for the last four years for some reason, it never came up on our visits located in somewhat of an awkward parking lot. It's tucked away easy to miss. However, don't let that stop you from experiencing some of the best ice cream will ever enjoy. Everything is made in house from the delicious flavors to the mix ins you can taste the quality and every bite, and you can tell how much thought they put into each batch. It truly is an experience that you cannot miss. The customer service was spot on. They were very warm and inviting and helped us with our selections. Bonus, they had a customer restroom, which I was pleasantly surprised about due to the size of the facility. They have freezers where you can pick up the size of ice cream you wanna take home and try as well as a drive-through. This is an all year round experience. We will definitely be back and let all of our friends know how delicious legend ice cream is thank you again! read more

Legend Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - East Wenatchee, Washington

3.5 stars This was an interesting place. There are no samples and they have unique flavors already packaged in different sizes so we weren't sure what to get or how we'd like it. And it wasn't inexpensive. The person behind the counter was nice enough but no real customer service was needed since you get the container out of the freezers and pay for them. I got double strawberry - it was pretty good. Randy got something with spicy pepper and coffee in it. He says the flavors weren't very strong. And while I only had a few bites of mine, he ate his whole container. So he liked it but not enough to get it again. We probably wouldn't go back. I'm not a fan of not being able to taste the unique flavors offered. It hasn't always worked out for me. read more

After dinner I was looking for something a little sweet. Most of the bakeries were closed (5pm in the evening) so I decided on ice cream. Why not when it's 30 degrees outside with snow on the mountains. Followed my GPS, or I would have gotten lost. Legend is located in East Wenatchee,WA, across the river from my hotel. Not much to the building, on the left you have Legend on the right you have an oil change shop. There is not much parking, maybe 5 spaces (that I saw). They do have a drive through window but I did I not know what I wanted so I decided to go in. If the oil change shop was open there would be no place to park. So I got lucky. Walked into the shop and though I would see the mixers going making ice cream to order, but to my surprise they pre make a lot of the flavors and stick them in a freezer case. I was looking for the raspberry cheesecake flavor I saw someone post pictures of on Yelp but did not find it. What I found turned out to be better, blackberry cheesecake. They make the cheesecake in house and then crumble it up and throw it on the ice cream. Because it was sitting the freezer case for a bit it was rock hard. It was also a bit more than I wanted because I had no freezer in my hotel room. I did not want to waste the ice cream. The ice cream did not let me down. The flavor was well packed in the little cup. Love the fresh, whole blackberries. Large chunks of cheesecake. Creamy white chocolate ice cream base. Mi would love to try more flavors, just hope they make it fresh as I only ate half of my cup and felt guilty I wasted most of it. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Designer ice cream next to a Valvoline! Ha :) Pricey but honestly probably the best ice cream I've ever tasted in my whole life! I ordered the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake!! Just pure perfection with a bit of graham cracker crust and delicious raspberry swirl My only complaint...DRIVE THRU MENU IS NOT LIT UP....we went there after dark so we had to shine our phone flashlight on their menu to see it and since it was our first time it took us quite a bit of time to order! read more

On our 40-days road-trip from Chicago we stopped for an oil change at Valvoline - a non-planned stop and we got rewarded by Legend Designer right next door. Wow, excellent ice cream, very rich creamy and lots of deep flavor. They make arches throughout the day using liquid nitrogen.l and mostly homemade ingredients. We took with us a half pint of: 1. Aztec Treasure - chocolate, hint of cinnamon, espresso, and brownie - excellent. 2. Peanut Butter Explosion - generous thick swirls of creamy PB cookie dough - Delicious. So indulgent and so, so good. My husband, who is not a sweets fan, said: "if there is a National ice cream competition they should enter, they have a chance to win". The have ti start shipping ... read more

In the scorching heat with temperatures reaching triple digits we were driving from Wenatchee back home to Seattle. That's when we stopped here for some ice cream. And I am so glad we did! It's a quite place with 3-4 tables, husband making ice cream and wife taking orders. Very cute! They pre-make all the ice cream and store it in the refrigerator. After ordering just walked up to the refrigerator and take your tub. Even their smallest size is a pretty good size and shareable. When we were there they were making a fresh batch of the chocolate ice cream so we got to sample that flavor or else they don't allow sampling. I loved the Gold Rush wasn't too sweet, just the way I like it. Other one we tried was the chocolate decadence - it was good too , it had some bitterness to it. They also had ice cream sandwiches for the kids. The kids loved it! Overall, a perfect spot to visit on a sunny day or even when you are just craving for an ice cream. P.S. They even have a drive-thru. read more

What a delicious surprise!!! Pulled up and saw the ice cream shop on the left and on the right is a place to change your oil? What an odd paring and I almost didn't go in but I am so glad I did. Fresh homemade ice cream is made with liquid nitrogen?!! It kind of reminded me of gelato. I got the chocolate decadence which was an amazingly rich chocolate ice cream with pieces of homemade brownies and cookie dough. Will be back to try other flavors! read more

Such great ice cream here at Legend and amazing service. It's a fun ambiance with staff that are so happy to help and explain the ice cream.

Came in on a Saturday. Warm day calls for ice cream. Coming from out of the area, we wanted something local which brought us here. The owner (I think) explained how they made the ice cream and how to purchase. Ice creams are made fresh constantly. You can't order by the scoop or cup from the menu. Just what is available from whatever they made that they put in half pint, pint and quart store in the freezer right next to the counter. There's also a drive thru :) We got the milk chocolate to share with our toddler as well as the caramel macchiato. The ice cream is made from nitro ice and is really really creamy! Flavors are also so rich, one of the best I've had! Highly recommend for any non locals to try :) read more

Love this place and even more lately. Not sure if they hired a new ice cream maker or not but the ice cream is even better than before. Love the chocolate decadence it's my go to! Service can use a little help they are not the nixes staff. Owners are awesome when they work. read more

Was a bit surprised to find this place attached to a Valvoline shop. It even smells like a valvoline shop! We went in on Sunday evening, and there was a nice guy there. We asked how it worked and he said that basically the pints were all they have. From other pictures and reviews it seems like maybe they do a build your own during other hours? We didn't see any evidence of that. We got the peanut butter and brownie mallow flavor. Super dense and rice! Tasted good- brownies themselves were my favorite, and they had that fantastic homemade flavor and texture. Definitely can't eat too much of this stuff though! I would love to go back and try their pie flavor, or maybe find out when they offer the 'build your own' menu. read more

LOVED THE TASTE!! During our stay in Washington we went twice because it was just so tasty. It has such an unique texture and taste. You won't regret it. It's seriously so awesome. read more

This is the place to go to for icecream if you're near the Wenatchee/Cashmere/Leavenworth area. They have a ton of different flavors to choose from so there's something for everyone. My husband and I walked in to get icecream and we ended up talking with the owner, she's the nicest lady!! She told us about how she makes the ingredients in her icecream from scratch and I instantly had to try an icecream with cheesecake in it because I'm a sucker for homemade cheesecake. I wasn't disappointed!! I got the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake and it was delicious!! Creamy and rich with raspberry jam and cheesecake bits! My husband got the banana cream pie icecream and he was so happy because the base is banana icecream and not vanilla like every other place. You can't go wrong here and I'm going to convince my husband to stop by before we leave for our trip home read more

Legend Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - East Wenatchee, Washington

Best ice cream shop I've had in the US. I was very pleasantly surprise. Since having good gelato in Italy, home based ice cream has been just frozen sugar and milk. Not this place. The location is odd, but a non-factor. The favors are unique and hand made. Very creamy, not icy or overly sugary. Well balanced flavors. Seriously my new favorite ice cream. Served by the owner who was kind, friendly, and patient. She seemed to take quite a bit of pride in the work. Well deserved. read more

Absolutely love their ice cream! Best flavors and texture! Always great service as well!

Delicious ice cream and great service. Everything is pre-packaged, so it's more of a to-go style, no cones.

First of all, let's talk about the uniqueness of this place. Every ice cream you get is handmade, and made when ordered. The ice cream itself is very good and unique. I truly enjoy every bite of it. The one thing they are lacking is on their menu, it's kinda boring. It's the same thing since they open, I feel like customer want new ideas, new flavors. The service was fine, just another ice cream shop. One negative side would be the time it takes to make the ice cream, since it's handmade, it takes a while and if there's a huge line, you would be waiting for a long while. Also, it's inconsistent at times, like the size of the scoop, sometimes the ice cream melts super fast and the flavor of it, all depending on who is making it, which is kinda unacceptable. It has improve though. Definitely worth a try at this place, if they are not very busy. read more

They are great! We got the strawberry rhubarb pie and the vanilla Apple crust and they are so good I would recommend them to everyone!!! read more

Legend Ice Cream - They were great and the ice cream is so good! We got the strawberry Rhubarb and the vanilla apple crust and they are sooo good! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - East Wenatchee, Washington

Me and my girl came to try out Legend. We got the VIP ice cream and a Vanilla Oreo. The process of making the ice cream is fun to watch. The ice scream is quite fresh, creamy and delicious. We will definitely come back, lesson learned, grab a large ice cream next time. read more

They do NOT make the nitro ice cream when you order unlike other nitro ice cream spots. They make the ice cream daily, then put it in the freezer so you cannot customize your flavors or toppings (mix) or get it in a cone (waffle, sugar or other). It is also HARD. They sell it in pre-measured cups similar to a grocery store. read more

Good, but WAAAY overpriced. $10 for a small pint of ice cream. Nothing online is offered.

Wow. Just wow. They are truly Legends. When I first walked in the doors, they seemed a little busy, but I wasn't in a big hurry. I waited probably a few minutes for them to take my order, but again, no hurry. I got my usual: standard Vanilla with Chocolate chips. I waited maybe a good twenty minutes for my ice cream. So why do I sound like I gave a five star review, when I'm giving negative feedback? Well, I'm not. The ice cream process takes time. Especially since they are using liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen makes the ice cream, "instant." And makes a hard ice cream. And in my opinion, this is worth that wait. There are only 3-5 working in there, but they are doing their best to make your ice cream experience worth while. But, anyway. It is really delicious. I'm super impressed with the look of the store, and the vibes it gives. I'll admit I was really easy going with my flavor choice, but they will do tons of flavors you didn't think were possible! They want you to have amazing ice cream, custom to your taste. I loved it. Very creamy, and sweet, and awesome! I will return to Legend, with a bigger appetite for ice cream, and what ice cream truly is: Visions of Pure Imagination. read more

Pure mediocrity, blended and frozen. We tried three different flavors and every one of them left a powdery aftertaste. The coconut cream pie tasted like they blended a Fred Meyer pie in some store brand ice cream with a dash of chalk. Not doing that again. read more

We love Legends, and bring others so they can try it every time friends come to visit! Our favorites are: graham cracker brown sugar, loaded cooking monster (those are both must try to us!) and gold digger! But we haven't had one that wasn't good. Plan to just pick up and go, they come prepacked, so you can walk in or go through the drive through. read more

Amazing ice cream and service! We live an hour away and always grab it on our way out of town! They even go the extra mile of sending us home with some ice to make sure our ice cream makes it all the way home! Best ice cream we have ever had! read more

Despite the lower reviews, I decided to come and check this place out for my own. It was delicious and they had dairy free options! Awesome when I walked in, I was the only one there. Greeted by 2 sweet girls and they were very helpful. As they were finishing my treat up, about 8-10 people walked in. It took a few minutes for my treat, so I'm guessing they will take about 20 minutes to complete the orders for them. This is not a scoop and go place, they actually have to make the ice cream. So good though!! I had the vanilla dairy free ice cream with mango, strawberries, and coconut flakes. Almost forgot to take a photo read more

Blown away. Not exaggerating. Best ice cream we have had. Local family owned and very nice people.

Great freshly made ice cream and a fun show to watch! We had the VIP which is strawberry ice cream with trimmings. We subbed Oreo for the cheesecake pieces and it was fabulous! My son loved watching the ice cream barista(for lack of a better term) make our concoction with the liquid nitrogen fancy mixer. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and explained the process because we were newbies. The decor had a good vibe and store was clean. As another reviewer noted service was a little slow BUT not extremely and given the end result it was well worth it. Might be helpful to have some signage or menu up on the wall for customers to read while they wait. Great experience and we will go back! read more

I love this place so much the workers are always so chill and the ice cream god I've never tasted anything more delicious

The wait is super long as they only have one machine so they can only make one ice cream at a time. The staff was very nice but the gal making the ice cream was constantly texting on her phone with a long line. The ice cream is a little overly sweet since it's ice cream base plus syrup if you choose a flavored ice cream. The nitrogen concept is cool and the establishment is clean. There also is not a lot of parking since it shares a space with Valvovine oil. read more

Awful! The store isn't next to an oil change store, it is inside an oil change store! Ugh! The smell of used oil and automobile hits you as you first walk in the door and permeates the entire store. Didn't wait long enough to get any ice cream, even though we wanted to. "I'd like a scoop of dirty engine topped with 40 weight please! " read more

No Legend here... Literally... We specifically came to try out the Legend special & were slightly disasspointed.. the employees were not trained to create these quite just yet.. seems a little odd since the establishment is named Legend you'd think that before opening they'd have their signature item available.. Negatives: -limited seating -overflowing small trash can -short on staff -long wait for icecream to be made (my nieces were done with there ice cream before the 3 adults received theirs -overly sweet peach mango sorbet (asked to add some vanilla to make it less sweet, was charged for it... a little surprised by this because normally in my experience if a customer is not satisfied with their product it is usually remade.. just a thought as far as customer service goes maybe taking into consideration that quality of product is important & to perhaps be a little more tactful & tasteful with certain situations. Positives: -the oreo and mint chip ice cream was great! Smooth and great flavor! (Adults had to give the nieces ice cream a try since it took a while to get our orders... lol. :p -tidy well kept restrooms -the free water by the cash register was a nice touch -the decor was classy read more

The experience is the only one you'll find in the valley. I feel like the ladies behind the counter didn't really care to help our small group when we were ready. The prices are as to be expected for a custom ice cream shop. The location is shared with Oil Can Henry's and it constantly fills with the ice cream shop with the stench of exhaust and oil. read more

Unique flavors, and the ice cream is super creamy. Drive thru only selling 1/2 pints pints and quarts.

I don't know what these people are talking about! We have visited this establishment at least over 20 times & not once have we smelled oil or exhaust. Sometimes they are out of add-in items & pricey but overall the ice cream is delicious! read more
