This place came highly recommended by locals and DID NOT dissapoint! Go if you love ice cream and especially if you love unique flavors. The basil ice cream is just SUCH an experience. So delicious, herby, like a summer garden in a cup! I ended up going with the green tea and blackberry buttermilk ice creams and was so thrilled. Unlike most ice cream it's not disgustingly sweet, so well balanced and the flavors are just perfectly crafted. Pastries looked divine as well. An amazing summer stop near to Burlington! read more

This place is so cute!! First of all, we were greated with such warm welcomes from the owner and the two girls opening. They were explaining the whole baking side of things, how the ice cream is made in house (and amazing by the way). Plus, they go through SO many eggs, they literally give egg whites out for free!!! That blew my mind- I took 2 . Really clean spot, flavor options are always changing, and they have tasty drinks too! read more

I visit this place one a year when I visit my sister. I have fond memories of previous years but will discuss this year's visit. Lots of great flavors to choose from. I decided on the "back alley mint chip." It's called "back alley" as they used to grow their own mint in a previous location. Now they source it from local farms. Perhaps the best mint chip I've ever had. The ice cream was white with a slight green tint - what you'd expect if using fresh mint. The chocolate chips were flat square little pieces - much preferred to the type you find in cookies. 5 stars for the flavor. 5 stars for no green food coloring. Looking forward to next year. read more

Good location and inviting atmosphere. I love Main Street Vergennes and this place fits perfectly. GREAT SERVICE AND AMAZING FOOD AND DRINK! Maddie behind the counter was very friendly and outgoing and makes a mean double dirty chai latte, and Doug makes a great breakfast sandwich! Try the one on the homemade biscuit-WOW! Had to try some ice cream of course even though I was there at breakfast time (and during winter!) and the ol standby vanilla was amazing. One of the best I've ever had. Now I have to go back and try the rest of the flavors :) read more

On my way north, stopped in Vergennes to walk my dog. Love this quaint town filled with little shops. Saw the cafe for a bathroom opportunity and noticed they served local ice cream. Cafe is clean and open. They sell their ice cream in their fridge, small and big sizes also. I tried couple of flavors, but settled on basil and Lavender/vanilla. Both flavors had very subtle flavors. I will say it's very sweet and rich. I don't like when it's that sweet, but others might. In the bathroom, I read this place won recognitions. I would try if you love decadent sweet ice cream! read more

We read the reviews and made this a destination stop on our way to Burlington. We had the Maple Creemee (soft serve) and Teenage Dream (scoop). The soft serve was very rich and lusciously smooth and creamy. The scoop was delicious - just a little bit icy. The only real complaint was that our cake cones were not crackling fresh - couldn't tell if they were stale or if the humidity had gotten to them. Well worth skipping lunch for. read more

We stopped here on a Friday evening and had a great experience all around. The people at the counter were super patient when it came to letting us try a bunch of flavors and were equally patient as we were being indecisive. Not only was he service great, but the flavors were so interesting and different, from basil to curried peanut. Every single ice cream we tried was excellent, but we settled on getting three scoops - a coffee one (for the other half), Basil, and maple. I only wish we lived closer so we could try more of their unique flavors. read more

Easily one of the top 3 ice cream shops in VT, hands down. Whenever we have visitors in the Middlebury area, I always always always recommend a visit to Lulu. For the ice cream purists, finding a flavor is a little difficult, especially when choosing from more "exotic" flavors like basil or curried peanut butter. My favorites flavors are easily Panther Pride (mascarpone, black currant, graham cracker--this thing actually tastes like cheesecake), and the peppermint-type ones. Definitely stop in if you're in the area, but be sure to taste the flavors before committing to $3.50 for a small! read more

We've been to Lulu's twice during our summer visit to VT even though the store is 30 minute drive. I now realize that I've never had authentic homemade ice cream before going to Lulu's. I thought I had, but now that I've tasted how fresh and flavorful their ice cream is, I keep wanting to make the 30 minute drive back to Bristol for ice cream! The flavors are interesting and change often. But even if you just decide to get a basic flavor, like chocolate, it will be the BEST chocolate you've ever had. They are very nice and helpful about tasting the flavors too. This store is definitely definitely worth the trip. Its different from all the rest. read more

It's a smallish store with space both inside and out to sit and enjoy your cone or cup. On warm days there can be a line, but waiting and anticipating the deliciousness is all part of the fun.

If you're a salt lover, the former is amazingly satisfying. If you need to be refreshed... Try the latter! Everything is homemade so it's super fresh and the flavors are original.

Having grown up around Bristol I was honestly a little apprehensive when Lu Lu's came to existence a few years back. I was a pretty dedicated patron of the town Cremmee Stand but I can honestly say after multiple experiences Lu Lu's provides, by far, the best ice cream in town. The shop itself is cute and quaint and provides a small space for eat in with some additional tables outside. The ice cream is homemade (starting on site this year for the first time). The flavors are diverse and change frequently. I've had curried ice cream, whiskey ice cram, bourbon ice cream and simple favorites like cookies and cream and cookie dough. Each one is as good as the last. The flavors are always extremely present and are never lost in the cold temperature. The ice cream is extremely smooth and creamy in a way that has you coming back for more and more. It's worth every penny for a scoop at Lu Lu's. read more

Our second road trip of the summer, Lu Lu's was at the top of my most go - to list for Bristol, VT. Wonderfully smooth and creamy ice cream. I got salted caramel, it was simple but flavorful. 3.50 for a single scoop that for once I actually finished, it was the perfect size (for me) so that none went to waste. Good service and despite a line, it went quickly. If you are willing to spend more than average for some high quality ice cream, definitely check out Lu Lu's! read more

From the Business

Specialties

lu·lu (noun): an outstanding example of a particular type of person or thing. It's a fitting concept for the small-batch ice cream made here. Winner of best ice cream in the state of Vermont. stop in for elegant versions of the classics and eclectic tastes like nowhere else, plus amazing espresso-based coffee! our unique flavors all feature house-made, local and seasonal ingredients.

History

Established in 2014.

lu*lu succeeds in making remarkable and wonderful ice cream that has quickly become well-known for its unique flavors and its dedication to the "farm to spoon" business model using local, seasonal products.

Meet the Business Owner: Laura M.

Nope, her name isn't Lou-lou. It's Laura. Laura Mack is behind the creamy and creative goodness at lu·lu's ice cream on Main Street in Vergennes. After graduating from Hartwick College in Oneonta, N.Y., completing two years with AmeriCorps NCCC, and working a desk-job for a non-profit in New York City, 28-year-old Mack decided it was time to come home to Bristol. She also works full-time with her parents, Linda Harmon and Doug Mack, to also run the Inn at Baldwin Creek and Mary's Restaurant. So where did the name lu·lu come from? Just look it up in the dictionary: Lulu (noun): lu·lu; one that is remarkable or wonderful. The definition fits.

This stand is better than average in that they are even more generous than usual in portion size (a "small" is much taller than the cone) and they offer multiple flavors.

We didn't care that it was before noon, and we hadn't even eaten lunch. The creemee was AMAZING !!

As for the cookies, we bought one of each of most flavors they offered.

They also serve other flavors of creemees, and all kinds of hard ice cream, too, but I didn't care about any of that. I got what I wanted and was real glad I did !! By the way, we didn't get to the cookies until a day or two later, and they were still really fresh and moist ! Find your way here. You'll be soooo glad you did.

First visit, and I already know it won't be my last. I went with two scoops in a cup. Bees Knees and Salted Caramel and honestly, both choices were right. The Bees Knees had this bright, floral honey depth that felt like something you'd never find at a chain with a hint of salt. The Salted Caramel was rich but not cloying, with that perfect salt hit at the end that keeps you going back for another spoonful. Together in the same cup? Even better. What sets lu lu apart is that you can actually *taste* the difference that comes from making everything from scratch, in small batches, with real local ingredients. This isn't premix ice cream dressed up with clever names - it's the real deal, and you know it on the first bite. The shop itself on Main Street in Vergennes has a warm, unpretentious vibe that matches the product perfectly. No frills, just excellent ice cream made by people who clearly care about what they're putting out. If you're in Vermont and pass through Vergennes without stopping here, you'll regret it. Do yourself a favor get two scoops, try something unexpected, and let lu lu do the rest. read more

Love this place. Where else can you get flavors like Basil, Coffee Toffee, Black Mascara Tears, Bailey's Chip, The Dude Abides, Chocolate Sorbet, Slumdog Millionaire, Seriously Chocolate and Salted Caramel. The ice cream is unique, delicious and very high-quality. Owned by the Mack family, owners of Mary's at Baldwin Creak a staple in Bristol for at least twenty years, this shop has become part of what makes this little town so awesome. The ice cream isn't cheap, but if you're a fan of pure flavor and premium ingredients, you'll probably love it. read more

Vermont Cookie Love

Cookie/Creemee Love is almost better than S-X.......This is an amazing Vermont stop for a Maple…read moreCreemee. Best soft-serve cone I've ever had (and I've had hundreds). Trust me - This creemee even beats the famous, "dairy" State of Wisconsin hands down. Also, don't leave without buying the "three for $5" freshly baked cookies. The selection was tremendous making the choice difficult however each of my chosen three were delicious. AGAIN, dont leave Vermont without securing and licking this soft, maple creemee delicacy.

We came to Vermont Cookie Love as our first food stop in Vermont because of the maple creemee…read morereputation this place has. On our way up to Stowe, VT from Saratoga Springs, NY, I had read about this place while planning a trip to VT. Every trip includes food stops, and this happened to be our first ! So while this place makes an impressive selection of cookie flavors, of which we availed ourselves to most flavors, we also weren't about to leave without getting a maple creemee (Vermont's answer to soft-serve ice cream). We didn't care that it was before noon, and we hadn't even eaten lunch. The creemee was AMAZING !! The maple flavor was beautiful, and mixed with the creamy goodness of the soft-serve, WOW is all I have to say. Just WOW !! So glad I read about this place and made a point of stopping. As for the cookies, we bought one of each of most flavors they offered. I couldn't make up my mind, so I picked the following: Snickerdoodle - sugar cookie with cinnamon First Love - chocolate chip Puppy Love - peanut butter chocolate chip Mother's Love - butterscotch with chocolate chip True Love - oatmeal with dried cranberries Enduring Love - coconut, oatmeal, chocolate chip, almond and dried cranberries There are about 4 other flavors we didn't get on the day we were there. They also serve other flavors of creemees, and all kinds of hard ice cream, too, but I didn't care about any of that. I got what I wanted and was real glad I did !! By the way, we didn't get to the cookies until a day or two later, and they were still really fresh and moist ! Find your way here. You'll be soooo glad you did.

VCL offers both cookies and ice creams (hand-dipped and creamees) which are testament to the high art of handmade desserts. VCL started 16 years ago as a cart at Vermont fairs and now has this store as well as the "Love Shack" in Ferrisburgh. We ordered a selection of their cookies as well as creamees - similar to custard with more butterfat than regular ice cream. We cannot walk past the Vermont Cookie Love shop in Middlebury.

The shop had many flavors and toppings. It's definitely something for everyone! The prices seemed fair for the portion sizes. The shop has quite a bit of seating and is adorable! There are bathrooms available although they are a little awkward being so near to the seating area (and facing the tables). A suggestion is to put a divider between the bathrooms and the rest of the shop.

Just enough spinach and cheese to not overpower the butteriness of the croissant. Will definitely look for the savory croissant in the future. The Cream & Currant Scone was not too sweet while still being a mix of dense and delicate [in the best way]. Smaller interior but designed in a welcoming way so we were able to seat ourselves comfortably. Cool that you can watch the people making bread and baked goods through the window while ordering & sitting. Excited to try more baked goodness here.

Luckily, I had errands at a shop in the same strip mall and stopped in to see if they had Easter chocolate. They had some of the best chocolate I have had in a long time The chocolate is very good quality, smooth, not waxy or grainy, and not oily. I also bought a few non-Easter items because, you know, why waste the trip, and everything was very good. AND the people working at the store are very nice and very friendly. I highly recommend this shop.
