Stumbled upon this place after a concert that was down the street at the theatre. The place was packed with many inside and walking out. We got two sundaes that were a decent portion. Not sure what frozen custard is but it was so delicious! The banana caramel was not overly sweet and the cashier let me know it was a personal favorite. The inside was accessible for handicap but extremely small. It was very packed it was uncomfortable to wait inside packed with everyone, so I sat outside and waited. Overall it was delicious, I would come again and try more flavors! Service was super kind & helpful. read more

Guessing the magic is in the toppings. Had the chocolate custard and it was fine. I tend to prefer a thicker custard, and this was on the thinner side. Staff moved quickly and efficiently through the line, so we didn't have to wait long. read more

First time at Lexie's Frozen Custard. Small hole in the wall. No seating. Order and go kind of place. Really liked the custard flavors for chocolate/vanilla. The toffee bits were good. The chocolate sauce was great. Not too sweet but complimented the sundae. Street parking read more

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!? read more

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. read more

Services was amazing. Quick and ready to go. The flavor on my icecream was phenomenal. I'll be back great hole in the wall treat stop.

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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?

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. read more

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! read more

Lexie's has frozen custard that is very rich. It's basically like eating solid cream. It's not like ice cream. I had frozen custard a couple of times and this is a nice velvety version of it. We had the special of the day which was pistachio but I didn't really taste the pistachio. It's kind of a subtle flavor that was slightly unpleasant for me because it did not taste like pistachio. I think vanilla or chocolate will be the safer option here. They had a peach pie crumble with vanilla custard for $7. That looked very good. Sharing a double script was easy and only $7. Service was very friendly and courteous. Will definitely come back if I want more frozen custard. read more

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. read more

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! read more

2010 Addison St Berkeley, CA 94701 This was my first time at Lexie's Frozen Custard shop in downtown Berkeley. It was around 9pm on a Tuesday, and I was flipping thru the Yelp app looking for a frozen dessert place that was still open. Wow, Lexie's is open until 10pm! This is a small shop with a neat storefront. It's right next to the Center St parking garage. I was immediately greeted as I walked in. I told them it was my first time there, and they offered me samples if I wanted to try a flavor. They offer scoops, sundaes, shakes, pies, cookies, and pre-packaged goods. Oh well, I played it safe and ordered two scoops of chocolate & vanilla for $7. I should of tried the strawberry and fruity sorbet. They told me all the custards are made onsite in fresh batches. How was it? It's like a creamy soft serve, but not as sweet. It has a somewhat unique silky texture. It's not icy cold like frozen yogurt. If you want a quality frozen dessert, with great customer service, try Lexie's Frozen Custard. BTW, this shop has only been here for about a year. So all the 1-3 star reviews from years ago, don't apply to this place. This is pretty much a grab and go place. There's a few tables outside. Support Local Business! read more

Lexie is so fun! relaxed, friendly,and her frozen custard is out of this world. Unique flavors, all fresh, made in the shop. We bought the tiramisu - indescribably delicious and lemon Blueberry - like nothing you've ever had before. We also have had her pomegranate caramels - wow! and the little square cookies with a delicious filling - i cant remember what she called them but they were scrumptious. recommend the little treats at the counter. Support a great local business and pamper yourself. read more

Headed to this place for a sweet treat after dinner. Delightfully surprised by how much flavor these mini scoops came with. I got the hazelnut custard and my bf got the vanilla with bacon bits maple syrup and waffle cones. I personally liked mine on its own, it came with the nuts and ribbons of Nutella! His was also tasty, a little sweeter for my taste but we were surprised by how tasty the bacon and waffle cone toppings were! Staff was super nice and offered us samples. The shop itself is tiny. You mainly go in and order then take your dessert to eat outside. I only wish the custard wouldn't melt so fast. Yet overall, it's a cute spot to stop for after a show or dinner nearby! read more

Little ice cream shop in downtown Berkeley that serves soft serve, sundaes, and other cold desserts. We got the speculoos and banana caramel sundaes, and a scoop of the Vietnamese Coffee. Ice cream was delicious and I could tell they make it fresh. The Viet Coffee had a good kick to it, as it should. Servers are nice and welcoming. Parking can be tricky as it is in downtown but there should be a parking garage close by. Or you'll have to park on the street. Overall, would come back here - it seems like they change up their flavors a bit so would like to try other seasonal flavors! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but I was disappointed in the frozen custard. It felt and tasted like regular ice cream, or maybe lower fat ice cream. I had not tried frozen custard before, so I was excited because I love dense, smooth ice cream and I love eggy custards. I tried the vanilla in order to get the pure taste and mouth-feel of the custard. It was not any smoother than ordinary ice cream and the flavor was bland -- no custard flavor and not a lot of vanilla. It definitely seemed lower fat than premium ice creams. Maybe that's intentional but it does not help the creamy texture. The price of $5 seemed like a lot for a small scoop, but I found out later from their website that it's organic, so that seems more reasonable. It's WONDERFUL that they use organic milk and cream, plus compostable bowls, and it's right next to The Freight & Salvage, so I might go again and get toppings on it. I will just go expecting regular old ice cream, which is always fun. Just not special. P.S. The Freight lets you bring food in to the theater, so you can enjoy it during the concert. read more

Amazing hidden gem that I can't wait to go back to. Not sure why it took me so long to check this place out but I'm so glad I did. The vanilla is perfection. Smooth and not too sweet. The daily flavor was banana pudding and it was just enough banana to not feel like you're drowning in it. The homemade waffle cone was just the right thickness and crunch. Yum!! read more

Amazing frozen custard - I don't have a big sweet tooth, but I was a regular at Lexie's when I lived in the Berkeley area. Lexie herself is also the absolute sweetest lady. After moving away and not coming in for months, she still remembered me and warmly greeted me by my name. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to that sweet treat you've been craving. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Absolutely love this place! There's tons of flavors for frozen custards and rotations for sundae flavors. I've tried multiple sundaes so far but my favorite is the key lime pie sundae. I love all the handmade curds she uses in the fruit sundaes. They also sell pints. They're a little pricey at $11 but so good. I love the lemon blueberry yogurt and grab that in a pint when it's available . Lexie has been there every time I've come here and she is an absolutely gem! So friendly and you can tell, she takes a lot of pride in her business. It's a cute little shop right off Shattuck on Addison. Parking is a little tricky down in this area, so I usually double park right out front and run inside and am in and out quickly. Definitely one of my go to spots! Thanks, Lexie! read more

For frozen custard afficionados, this is top-rate. A college friend lived in St. Louis for a few years where she introduced me to the wonders of frozen custard and the many variations(sundaes,concrete etc.). Ever since, I have been hooked. I discovered Lexie's during intermission at a Freight show. I had lemon custard sundae special which also had their delicious berry sauce, whipped cream and good quality luxardo cherry on top. OMG. Another time I had their brownie sundae. Last night we stopped by and my husband ordered the vegan sorbet and added the berry sauce, coconut whipped creem, the cherry on top. The sorbet was a many berry concoction, but the special part was that there was lemon added which made it really special. I tried the chocolate chip ice cream sandwich which as good for a smaller dessert option. Every time I'm in Berkeley I have to find an excuse to visit Lexie's! read more

Who am I kidding? I love this place. I go all the time -- more than I should -- and the sundaes are great. Give it a try!
