    Great spot! I will unfortunately have to take a point off for ambiance, but if I could do 4.5 I would!! Mini sundae-size is an excellent idea, great serving size for me to try a scoop w all the fix-ins. Cool flavors, nice toppings, environmentally conscious, what else do you need!?

    Street parking is difficult but a parking garage is next door. It is a tiny little ice cream shop on the corner with no tables, grab and go. A theatre is next door and across the street. I went on a busy night, I could see several people waiting and a long line to get into the parking garage. She asked if I wanted to sample when I arrived and of course I love tiramisu custard so I tried and decided to make it a brownie tiramisu sundae. This hit the spot after dinner. I would like to try the malt next time when I'm in the area.

    Who doesn't like frozen custard? If you know someone who doesn't, we probably can't be friends. I really like the different options from affogato to floats here. It's the kind of shop I want to frequent often. I'm a huge fan of coffee so their coffee coffee really appealled to me, and it was exactly the 5 stars you would expect. Great coffee flavor with bits of coffee. Friendly staff, free water, a table outside. We need this in every city!

    Saw this last time we were here in October for a show of course and had to stop by before heading back to the city. The staff were friendly when we got in and there was no one behind us so we were able to take our time looking at the menu. There isn't a place for you to sit inside but a small table outside with two chairs. My bf got the Affogato: Scoop of custard drowned in an espresso shot for $6.25 and I got the Speculoos Mini Sundae: vanilla frozen custard, cookie butter sauce, Biscoff cookies with whipped cream and a natural cherry for $7. They started off as a food truck from 2013-2020 before this location opened in 2022. Frozen custard is super dense and smooth soft serve ice cream made with milk, cream, sugar, and egg yolk just like other premium ice creams. They make their custard base and almost every topping from scratch. The frozen custard is made fresh daily in small batches and recommended to eat fresh for the best texture. With the use of local and organic ingredients, compostable cups and spoons, and are proud to be in a green building.

    The least creamy and rich custard I have ever had. With that out of the way you may be wondering why it's still 4 stars. I'm not a huge ice cream fan. But the flavors are so good. I'm crazy for anything plum and the plum crumble is fantastic. Packaging of the pints to go is also excellent. They put them in a freezer bag with a little ice pack on them. If you want a rich creamy texture you are likely going to be disappointed. If you want something more like a gelato this is it.

    was next door for a show and wanted a sweet treat. really loved this mini sundae. It was the perfect amount of soft serve and wasn't too overwhelming. They have all their flavors and menu posted inside, so we were able to take our time to decide what we wanted to order.

    Sometimes you need some sweet indulgence before a theater matinee. Jamie W and I were a bit early for a performance at Berkeley Rep. Now I suppose we could've used the time to exercise like dropping down and doing fifty push-ups. But that seemed unlikely since I can barely do one. Or we could come here and see what frozen custard will contribute to our lives. Gee, tough decision. They serve the frozen custard in various delectable forms. Either by scoop in various flavors, or in sundaes with complimentary ingredients, or under the catch-all category of specialties like affogato, pie slices, and root beer floats. We decided to share the $9 Regular Peanut Butter Oreo Sundae with a base of creamy chocolate frozen custard topped with a thick, ropey peanut butter sauce, whipped cream, Oreo crumbles, and a pair of black cherries (Photo 9). Quite the yum and not overly sweet. Good decision. FOOD - 5 stars...tasty frozen custard that doesn't overwhelm your sweet tooth AMBIANCE - 4 stars...compact spot with seating outside SERVICE - 4.5 stars...very friendly and helpful TOTAL - 5 stars...a shareable treat quite unlike froyo shops RELATED - Exploring Berkeley? Here's my collection of places I've tried and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2CbVh8u

    Sundae

    Brownie concrete with whip cream ($9)

    Located at 2010 Addison St, to the right of Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse, a small custard shop lives - Lexie's. It specializes in a small menu of classic flavors - chocolate and vanilla along with the flavor of the day - thin mint (on our visit) and a seasonal vegan sorbet - guava. There are seasonal sundae options available, which I partook in. All options are fresh, organic and house made. The flavors can be enjoyed simply in a cup or cone as a scoop or as a specialty item ranging from a concentrate, to sundae option, affogato or shake to a kids classic - dirt & worm sundae, which my daughter enjoyed. Don't forget to ask your little one if they would like a cup or cone. Cones cost and many parents were circling back to pay the difference since their kid saw a kid with a cone - this means another wait in line to do so. For the Kids Dirt & Worm Sundae, my little one picked Thin Mint as her custard flavor, which was layered with crushed/ground cookies and organic gummy worms. For $4.50 it's a yummy indulgence to create memories with. For the Concrete ($9), I opted for the Brownie Sundae which is chocolate custard, house made brownie chunks and chocolate fudge sauce all blended together and topped with whip cream (optional). The flavor was well balanced and the brownie bits were so plentiful I left a few behind to discard. I really enjoyed! The flavors were not too sweet, delectable and tasted of fresh, quality ingredients. Inside, near the register, are options of toffee popcorn, cookies, fruit chews and caramel. There is a mini freezer housing pre packed pints and cookie ice cream sandwiches. The interior was well maintained and clean, it is also very quaint and intimate. It is hard to distinguish between who is waiting on an order and who hasn't ordered - be kind and ask. Service can be slow due to one cashier and one preparer/server, based on the size of the shop it is understandable and the wait was well worth it - not horribly long with 3 families ahead of us. Following a Freight & Salvage performance (directly next door), Lexie's can get packed quickly. The staff was very friendly with smiles and patience, thank yous and assistance with add on options to assist with orders. Apple Pay, cash and cards are accepted. The shop is accessible by BART from the Downtown Berkeley stop, by car with street and garage parking options or by foot if you are close by. Lexie's opens at 1PM Tue-Sat, closed Mondays, and closes between 9-11PM depending on the day. *For those with little ones or little bladders* ...there are public restrooms - traditional gender specific - to the left of the shop, open to the public (no key or code needed). The women's restroom was well maintained and clean but lacked toilet seat covers and some stalls have no toilet paper.

    We popped in here while waiting for an event over at the Berkeley Rep. The staff were so patient and helpful (I changed my order midway after seeing the special of the day). And they helped me accommodate my low dairy needs. The apple crumble with apple cider sorbet sundae I had was so incredibly good!

    Cute mini sundaes are perfect after a show at the Berkeley Rep (and/or Freight & Salvage)! One can get simple, one-flavor cup of frozen custard or make other creations like sundaes. My friend and I got the Speculoos & Peanut butter and Oreo sundae (mini size) each. I thought it was the perfect serving! P.S. they serve real cherries so don't refuse your cherry on top if you thought it was Maraschino like me.

    Brownie sundae
    Eileen T.

    If you're a fan of chocolate desserts, you must go to Lexie's Frozen Custard! My friend and I had to fulfill our chocolate cravings and ordered the regular brownie sundae. The brownies had a rich chocolate flavor, and it paired well with the creamy frozen custard. Portion was also generous-- regular size is definitely enough for two people to share. Overall a great shop to stop by for a solid sundae!

    Very berry sundae mini

Most recent visit I got the mint chip and coffee flavors. I appreciate that both flavors pack a punch, and taste authentic as compared to artificially flavored store bought ice cream. They serve a honey lavender flavor almost year round that is incredible. My personal favorite is the marzipan flavor served during the holidays. They don't skimp on the quality and intensity of flavor. This last visit I also asked if they would give me a single bite of vanilla ice cream on a disposable spoon for my dog, and they kindly obliged. Wonderful local spot that always brings smiles :)

The young worker was so patient & helpful with recommendations that it made the whole experience that more enjoyable. Out of the 2 samples I tried, I ended with the Meyer Lemon. Samples: Cherry Cheesecake which I thought had an icy instead of a creamy texture so I didn't choose this one. Honey Rose & I mostly tasted the honey & no essence of rose, so I decided to pass. Without sampling the Meyer Lemon bc the worker recommended this, I just chose it. The Meyer Lemon was refreshing & had a creamy texture. It was perfect with the fresh waffle cone. I'm ready to try more flavors the next time I stop by.

The only issue is there's no clear menu posted online, so we walked in completely blind. Their website shows a long list of flavors but not what they actually have that day, so it felt like a guessing game. The line moved really slow because there was only one employee handling everything. She was taking orders, giving samples, answering questions, and ringing people up all at once. She was super friendly and doing her best, but it felt like a lot for one person during a rush and the shop could definitely use more help. The space is really small and tight so it was hard to even see the flavors until we got close to the front. When we finally got up there, a lot of the tubs were already empty which was confusing since most ice cream shops restock. Some flavors I wanted weren't available anymore, and if they're out it would make more sense to just remove them from display. The dirty containers didn't make sense to display. I sampled the jasmine green tea and knew right away I wanted it. It was creamy with a smooth tea flavor that wasn't overpowering. I got a small with half jasmine green tea and half avocado. The avocado was surprisingly really good, super creamy and tasted like a fresh avocado smoothie. Both flavors weren't overly sweet which I liked. My husband wanted cookies and cream but it was sold out so he got chocolate chip instead, which was solid and creamy with good texture. Overall the ice cream itself was good, not the best I've had but definitely not bad. I like that the flavors lean more natural and not overly sweet. I could see myself coming back if I'm in the area, but the experience would be a lot better with faster service and more consistency with what's actually available.

Menu is quite extensive, filled with homey family friendly diner foods and their ice cream sundaes are wonderful.

Both crab and tuna sandwiches are prepared in SF sourdough breads. We loved how the buttered sour dough bread slices were grilled to bring out the best in the fillings. Crunchy toasty exterior but chewy with fillings of either crab or tuna - these sandwiches are just the right size and ... ah to die for! Service was friendly and as attentive as expected mid-day. The ambiance is that of retro feel-good cheerful lemon yellow grandma vibe, but it's got that pop groovy feel as well. Sundaes&milkshakes&grilled sandwiches&fries!!
