Lu & Aug's is such a special place. If not for the massive number of calories I consume every time I enter the place I would go there ALL THE TIME. Each visit is a discovery of new deliciousness and temptations for the tastebuds. Last time I went with a decaf affogato with vanilla softserve, the classic. SO GOOD! 5*/5. I've been dreaming about getting it again so finally went today. and was immediately distracted by their extensive hot chocolate and drinking chocolate menu which now I need to go back and try. While I thought I'd go for the classic decaf affogato, I was enticed by the espresso X version which includes a warm chocolate chip brownie, hot fudge, rice krispie sprinkles, and the decaf espresso (at my request), vanilla and chocolate twist (other options just vanilla or just chocolate) - for the same price as the classic. How could I resist? Amazing - 5*/5 I have yet to try something at Lu & Aug's that isn't outstanding. read more

This place is so cayute! Helpful staff. They noticed we were first timers and they explained menu and how to order. They have good amount of pints 'to go' a TON of toppings and VEGAN OPTIONS!!! Open space, tables to sit down and eat. Clean large bathroom too. Now the dessert creations were impeccable. Fresh waffle cones and fresh toppings. I kept it simple with a pecan crumble on vegan vanilla. Wifey got a strawberry 'something' with pieces of cheesecake. When I tell you they are precise with the placement of the toppings to ensure you have even bites--- I mean it. read more

Good soft serve ice cream and very interesting sundae/milkshake flavors, but the prices are kind of crazy. I guess I shouldn't expect much else from Ardmore, but when a bit of ice cream for 3 people comes out to more than $20 it's a bit jarring. My husband's chai affogato was delicious and such a novel idea, though. I'd suggest this place if you can afford it. read more

We came here spontaneously after dinner on a weekday evening. I had the dirty chai affogato. I asked them to make it decaf since it was later in the evening the dirty chai comes with two Indian biscuits, nicely complimenting the chai flavor. The vanilla ice cream soft serve was soo good, not overly sweet, and was the perfect temperature with the espresso. Worth the drive in the rain. Overall, I'd come back for more. Happy eating! read more

The ice cream was delicious, as was the brownie, but I'm not sure how I feel about the addition of espresso. It was bitter and didn't really add much for me. I am, however, willing to try some of the other creations here. It's also a really cute place in a spot with parking. Though parking was kind of hard to find on a warm night. I will return. It was a nice spot for the kiddos. read more

This is a great ice cream and coffee shop right off the main road! The location is pretty central which is a double edged sword: great for walking but can be hard to find parking. The spot is a little tight but the cute wall art and overall aesthetic is very charming. The ice cream is thick and rich and almost akin to a frozen custard. I enjoyed the distinct vanilla and chocolate flavors and highly recommend trying this place out! read more

Lu & Aug's - Dirty Chai Affogato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

This happens to be one of those rare, curious establishments that views hot chocolate not as a random throwaway drink (usually as a consolation prize on a menu of otherwise caffeinated espresso drinks), but as the primary attraction. Lu & Augs takes their hot chocolate very seriously. Alongside their soft serve and to-go classic ice cream pints, they serve no less than 10 (or was it 12?) variations of hot chocolate, including classic, cardamom spice, mexican sipping chocolate, and more, all using their own cocoa powder recipe made in-house. Their sipping chocolate is thick and less sweet - we opted for the classic hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallow topping. On a brisk evening it absolutely hit right - with deep cocoa flavor and a proper balance of sweet, cream, and chocolate. As a side note - I would probably opt out of the marshmallow topping next time. It makes for a great Instagram pic, but the hot chocolate is so good on its own that throwing marshmallow on top feels unconscionable. read more

Finally stopped in to try some of their ice cream, I was in the mood for a shake. The store is nice and clean with several tables inside and a few outside. I was a bit daunted by the line but it moved quickly. They take your order and you have a seat or wait awkwardly near the door until they call your name. They have a wide variety of toppings and the staff does a great job plating. They were delicately and purposefully putting the cups together making sure they looked great. I ordered a chocolate shake with Oreo and was rather disappointed. The Oreo is pulverized so it's like dust, no little chunks whatsoever and almost hard to tell it was in there at all. The ice cream itself isn't very exciting, but to be fair there are not many soft serve shakes I think highly of(if any), I much prefer hand scooped ice cream. It was also pricey and rather small for about 9$. That's my take as an adult going for a shake. If you have kids I'm sure they will love the many toppings available and would enjoy the experience so check it out. read more

As a disclaimer: I am of the belief that Gourmet Soft Serve is equivalent to Artisan Crafted Twinkies. I didn't need an elevated soft serve experience, I thought. I entered Lou Aug's with this mindset twice before writing this review. I came out...conflicted. Yes, it's junk food, and nan o man it is smooth and creamy junk food. My first impression both visits was how bright and clean the shop is and how cheerful the staff were. They do not scrimp on staffing, each day there were three people behind the counter. The first visit I got one of their custom milkshakes. It was "The Rittenhouse", I was told it's popular. It was...okay. It tasted good, I'm just not a fan of solid things floating around in a shake. The second time I came with the NMA. I opted for a traditional twist. One with Jimmie's. The boy got the Oreo Milkshake. The ice cream was delicious, and his milkshake, with more the consistency of a DQ Blizzard, was what I am ordering next time as it was yum. For all their cheerfulness, the slightly off-putting moment was when I asked what a particular item was made of, as they have lots of fun names with no description on the order board. On both visits the staff pointed me to a paper trifold menu and "you can read here". Do you not know? Or are you trained to not take the time to answer with a description? I left still clinging to my belief, tenuously, while planning my next visit. read more

Delicious ice cream spot in Ardmore! They have very unique speciality ice cream curations and affogato options too. I ordered the Oh Snap! which comes with your base choice (vanilla, chocolate or swirl) with ginger snap crumbles and fudge on top. Really tasty and satisfying! The inside is cute with a handful of table seats. I love that they're open until 10 PM! read more

Five stars for the epic chocolate and coffee options, and five stars delicious ice cream and other desserts. Combine the two together like you would in one amazing affogato and I wish I could give Lu & Aug's a worthy ten stars! I've been curious about checking out Lu & Aug's since it opened over the summer. But it took a discussion about their decadent-sounding hot chocolate options and some generous coupons sent in the mail for me to get a group together for a proper try. And it beyond satisfied my sweet tooth! Whether you its a simple single flavor with one topping or going swirl and overboard on toppings, soft serve ice cream is easily one of the best simple pleasures in life. And my chocolate & vanilla swirl with caramel sauce, marshmallows, and graham cracker crumble was a lovely treat! I also respect that they have a vegan soft-serve ice cream for vegan and lactose-intolerant people. Hot chocolate was the main thing that brought us together, and between us, our table was very enamored with our Mexican drinking chocolate, lavender hot chocolate, and salted caramel hot chocolate. My salted caramel one was perfectly sweet when it needed to be with just the right amount of heat. It was also cool to see them carry that vegan trend forward with a plant-based hot chocolate. Toss in coffee from Ox, donuts from Yori's Church Street, Cookies from Famous 4th Street, and then some, and Lu & Aug's gives plenty of reasons to enjoy it that go beyond ice cream. And that's why I'm ready to go back for a Pecan Bacon Brittle soft serve ice cream, dirty chai affogato, and then some! read more

Delicious and nutritious. Ok maybe not so nutritious but some excellent soft serve and a vegan option too!

It's 8:30pm on a Thursday night and there's a line out the door. A group of 8 walk out as the line is moving way too slow for their liking. It moved fast enough. We tried the Wild Mint and Pecan Roca Affogato. They're out of the roca so we substitute toffee bits. Even though we added the toffee as they were out of the roca, we got charged for the add. The vegan vanilla ice cream was good. The mint was waaaaay too sweet. It was a fun experiment but not a favorite. read more

The ice cream was great, customer service was not. Bought two non-dairy soft serve cones, paid and tipped, walked away to wait for our cones. We get called back over to the register and told we weren't charged the correct price. Thinking we overpaid I was willing to just let it go and said "oh it's okay" to which we were told they didn't charge us ENOUGH and we needed to pay more. It was incredibly awkward (the cashier seemed uncomfortable doing it and the other employee was the one making her do this) and in poor taste, all for an extra $2. Tell the cashier so they know to up-charge for non-dairy next time, and take the "loss". read more

It's good. And the people there are really cute because they focus so hard on making the ice cream beautiful the one girl had her tongue sticking out focusing when she was putting the Carmel sauce on. Awe lol.

Love this soft serve. Interesting mix of flavors and mix ins - got the Glam Jam once (honey, pistachio, cardamom & saffron, chai dust) and Chocoholic once (hot fudge brownie, chocolate sauce, cocoa powder, cookie crumbs). Definitely very rich. Will say, definitely on the pricey side for a "specialties" dessert, but can be easily shared between 2 people. Also offers a 15% student discount. Soft serve alone without toppings is about $5. Staff explain things well and are happy to offer pointers. Cute vibe with lots of funky pop art. Open late until 10pm most days! read more

I heard about Lu & Aug's opening in Ardmore, so I decided to stop off and check it it, today. When I came in, I was greeted by a long line, but that also means their products must be popular. Oddly enough, the staff took the orders of the five or six people ahead of me, but then stopped to make everyone else's order while I waited in line. Lu & Aug's has a ton of options. Soft serve, leveled ice cream, folded ice cream and ice cream Ruth espresso. Tons of toppings (each are 50 cents except chocolate and rainbow sprinkles), too. However, there were items on the overhead menu that did not include a description. How am I supposed to know what "Sunrise in Cali", "What's Poppin'" or "Glam Jam" is? I could ask, but it would take a while to ask for each flavor. Once I was helped, after waiting for about five minutes, I ordered the Muddy Moose. It took a little while to come out, but I was very happy with how it tasted. A base if chocolate ice cream with pieces of peanut butter cups, crushed chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter during, which was topped with pretzel. Really sweet, but a good overall combination of flavors. There is a wide variety of seating options here. Everything is very clean, too. Also, the bathroom is very large here with cool paintings and photos - clean as well. Altogether, Lu & Aug's is a nice ice cream place. It's a great addition to the Ardmore and Lower Merion area. I'll probably be back! read more

With the closing of Narberth Scoops, the arrival of a new, exciting ice cream and affogato spot for all ages. There was no line on this Thursday evening. The bright, clean store has at least 4 tables to sit and enjoy your soft serve sundaes, milkshakes and coffee. We went on a Thursday evening, where unfortunately the credit card machine was defunct and the young staff could only accept cash. This didn't stop us from enjoying my peanut butter milkshake (gluten free) and my son's ice crispy treat. Grab a menu from the counter to get descriptions of their sweet creations and a few napkins. You're gonna need them after you eat all of yours! read more

It's pretty good soft serve ice cream. A plain Cup is $5, a sundae is $9. For the sundae, they put really minimal stuff on top of a lot of soft serve. I probably won't be back as it's just not worth the price. If I do come back; I'll just get a plain cup with sprinkles. The chocolate madness sundae or whatever it was called is just ice cream with a piece of chocolate cake stuck on the side. Not what we were expecting, but not bad. read more

The presentation, flavors rotations, location, and number of toppings are perks of this ice cream shop. The service was also great. However, the ice cream flavor itself was nothing special. I will say we stuck with more traditional flavors, at some places the ice cream speaks for itself. Would not necessarily say that here. The ice cream is also quite pricy, I think we paid around $14 for the Affogato and the vanilla s'mores Sunday. Was brought in by their instagram and seeing all the neat flavors, but ultimately, likely would not return due to the price and plain tasting ice cream--especially with other options nearby read more

The soft serve is fine enough (it's just from a machine), but the toppings are lacking and not thought out (for example, the chocoholic comes with a brownie that they microwave to scalding temperature and burn the core to a rock hard crisp).
