    Chai affogato
    Veronica K.

    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.

    Dirty Chai affogato

    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!

    Solid ice cream! They have an insane number of different flavors and combos. Silky smooth and delicious

    The place is nice, cute decor, cozy vibe and there some space to sit indoor to enjoy your ice cream. All the staff is nice and fast service. All the ice cream is delicious. I love anything with cheesecake and their strawberry supreme was a bomb.

    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.

    YUP!! Can't believe I only found out about this place recently. I'm obsessed with a good affogato & they do it sooooo well. High quality espresso and delicious ice cream. If you want to satisfy your sweet tooth craving, this is the perfect place.

    The smell of sweet sugar hits you as soon as you walk in and everything on the menu looked good! I went with the Dirty Chai Affogato and it did not disappoint.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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. I think tho that it's probably rly depends on what u order. I feel like i could've ordered something tastier

    See all

    When I last reviewed this place 11 years ago, I was disappointed and stayed away for years…read more I started going again around 2021, and they are so back. They still make the best cookies in the world (nostalgia may be a factor). Fresh, flavorful, and not too sweet. I've tried most flavors, and they're fantastic. FAVE COOKIES - caramel pecan (delicious, love the soft caramel) - lemon cooler (totally unique to Hope's, get one) - sugar (they use the best sprinkles, sweet and crunchy but not waxy!) - peanut butter (classic) - pumpkin spice (seasonal, tastes like actual pumpkin!) The vanilla ice cream is also better than what you can find in stores, so I pick up a pint whenever possible. Goes great with the cookies! The service is always friendly and quick even when they're busy with huge college orders, and it's easily one of my favorite counters to order from in the area. I always tip, because other quick service restaurants have made me appreciate this so much. They share the space with a pizza place, so unfortunately there isn't much Hope's-specific indoor seating. But the benches outside are cute, and cozy in decent weather. I wish their other locations were still open, so appreciate this one if you have regular access! The only other one I've found is a mini stand in a souvenir shop in Reading Terminal Market, and their selection isn't as good.

    I made a stop at Hope's after a somewhat disappointing dinner and this totally made up for the…read moredinner. First off, the inside decor and decoration on the outside of the building are super cute and perfect for an ice cream/cookie shop! The employees at the shop are really friendly too. I didn't sample any of the many ice cream flavors, but they look great. The cookies got me, they are amazing! So many fantastic recipes and they're super fresh, too. I think these are some of the best cookies I've had! Make a stop!
