Delicious ice cream flavors and super friendly staff! This is a hidden gem tucked into a nondescript strip mall. Inside, it's clean, bright, and smells delicious. I tried honey lavender and honeydew Italian ice (vegan). Both were delicious and they especially went well together! My husband got an ice cream sandwich with banana pudding ice cream. The flavors were all so unique and sounded amazing, I had a hard time choosing. The pieces here are steep at 10$ for a pint and over $5 for a scoop on the smaller side, but I think the quality of the ice cream sets it apart. Oh- and there's a free Photo Booth in the restaurant that our family loved! Highly recommend stopping by when you're in Florence. read more

If you're craving fresh, homemade hard ice cream, this place is a must. The Biscoff Butter Cookie was unreal - ultra creamy, packed with rich cookie butter flavor, and loaded with the perfect balance of sweet, buttery goodness. Easily one of the best scoops I've ever had. The Peanut Butter Marshmallow was just as indulgent--smooth, decadent, and full of flavor. My husband went with the Dutch Chocolate and said it was rich, velvety, and spot on. Every flavor tasted fresh and handcrafted. We'll definitely be back. read more

Stopped here on a whim and the ice cream is incredible. I highly recommend the Dutch Chocolate and the Biscoff. The guy working was very nice too. We will definitely be back when we are in town visiting family. read more

I tried the biscoff butter cookie and banana pudding. The banana pudding is by far the best ice cream. That with the waffle cone is delicious!!!!! 10/10 I highly recommend. read more

Was a little disappointed that the flavors listed on the website weren't all available. Had the Honey Lavender, which was a refreshing taste -- not too sweet and was a good but light flavor read more

I recommend the sampler. 4 small scoops if you are having a hard time deciding. $10. Very clean place and nice staff

This place is fantastic. A real hidden gem. The ice cream was incredible. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and the care put into making it. The staff was also friendly and went out of their way to be helpful since this was our first visit. We will definitely be back. read more

Overall - 9.7 Food - 10/10, ice-cream was spectacular. You can definitely tell it was all homemade. The matcha lavender is the best icecream we have ever had easily. Such great flavors. Service - 9/10, great service nothing amazing but definitely nothing bad. Atmosphere - 10/10, very clean would give 10/10 for cleanliness. read more

We decided to stop in for Mother's Day and we had out Great Dane. Firstly the ice cream was wonderful. We tried salted caramel truffle, Reese's peanut butter and banana Oreo. The flavors were so unique and there was no skimping on the ingredients. The he staff was so friendly and kind and they created a pup cup for our pup. They came out and petted her and loved on her!! We will definitely be back! read more

Locally owned. Fantastic Bourbon Honey cream. The owner was friendly and talkative. Highly recommend!

Cute shop, delicious ice cream! The customer service was amazing esp. since we came in right before closing. The flavors we had were cherry cola, biscoff cookie butter, pineapple rum and key lime and WOW! They were great! I highly recommend and if we're ever in the area again we will definitely be back. read more

Not sure when this place popped up but it's super good and the owners are awesome!! Super premium and priced not too bad. Yum!

Best cookies and cream and biscoff cookie were amazing. Best ice cream. The ice cream was so creamy and the owners were so nice.

Absolutely fantastic!! Hidden gem. Just stopped in for the first time and was greeted with kindness. Kindness meaning we got a lot of samples and knowledge of the flavors. Definitely stop by and try. A new favorite spot. read more

This Ice cream shop is newer in town and it has become one of my absolute favorites. I've been a few times so far and every single time I'm impressed. They have an absolute amazing way with the customers they invited me in and made me feel welcomed. The ambiance is incredible they have interesting photos on the wall great colors and so much ice cream to look at. They have several unique and tasty flavors my absolute favorite was the strawberry but the pistachio was close to beating it. If you're picky like I am they will let you sample any flavor you like they truly are caring people. 5 stars best Ice cream place I've been to in years looking forward to going again. read more

2nd best moment of my 2017 Solar Eclipse trip! Peach Ice Cream at The Colonel's Creamery. Creamy, tasty, velvety smooth with delicious chunks of fresh peaches, not too sweet and so refreshing on a hot August day. Waffle cone was so fresh and crispy with a mini marshmallow surprise keeping the ice cream from dropping out. My car's GPS could not find the place so I just navigated to the Kroger store and went past the parking lot and found The Friendly Market and The Colonel's Creamery was there! Friendly, helpful staff. Wish I lived closer to The Colonel! I am a fan from Canada. read more

I've been meaning to review this man's ice cream for so long. It's really great. Like, really great. He is super affordable for events and will spend a lot of time meeting with you if you need to talk about your event. The lavender honey ice cream is my favorite, and really all of his flavors are super great. I can't wait to hire him for another event. read more

Save room for dessert is about the best advice out there next to the Golden Rule. My wife and I found ourselves hankering for some sweet stuff and thanks to the incredible yelp app we found that The Colonel's Creamery was nearby. It is located at the Friendly Market, a large metal warehouse of a place that has a few other cool and unique food/drink businesses. Parking is free and in the lot. I found the teenagers behind the counter surprisingly helpful and knowledgeable about the different ice cream flavors. We sampled a few and decided a 3 scoop cup was needed. Black raspberry chip, Butter Pecan, and some kind of caramel goodness. Holy Holstein!! The scoops were more on the size of "my boyfriend just broke up with me and I'm going to binge" than the average golf ball sized mercy scoops that a typical creamery provides. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs, but through sheer force of will we, mostly me, devoured the ice cream and prayed for no acute onset of lactose intolerance. The menu contains more than just ice cream and I would love to return and sample their milkshakes and maybe even an Orange Whip. (Please youtube search: orange whip blues brothers) read more

Awesome, creamy, delicious artisanal ice cream. Made fresh with fresh seasonal ingredients. The colonel makes 'better for you' ice cream: still indulgent, delicious but with no artificial flavoring. The result: tastes awesome and you will live slightly longer. Here are the flavors I tried: -a spicy chocolate, with cayenne, mint, etc (called spicy hot brown?) - fresh strawberries in the strawberry - Kailua and cream - Rum and raisin - Dutch chocolate - Walnut something - fresh mint chocolate All delicious, and I recommend the colonels sampler to try a couple extra flavors! Love food, interesting flavors and 'better for me' desserts-- read more

Amazing I cream and very cool all the ingredients are from local establishments! Will definitely come again.... Our new family favorite!! read more

Really good ice cream & super friendly gals workin the counter. We tried the bourbon ice cream and it was actually yummy. A hint of bourbon. read more

This is now my favorite ice cream. I've even given up Graeters for the Colonel. I have way to many favorites but my newest is the Grasshopper. A very delicious mint with chocolate chips and oreos. That would be followed by a tie with Black Raspberry Chocolate Flakes and Distinctly Chocolate (which is chocolate ice cream with fudge brownies and a fudge sauce). The Colonel always had new flavors coming out and I haven't found one I don't like. There are always free samples. I really can't recommend this place enough. Simply put.... it's the best. Go and get some. read more

Colonel's Creamery is amazing. Can't wait for the reopening! The Colonel is an amazing fellow, lovely to chat with, and his friendly staff makes the ice cream taste extra special! The Colonel and his team put a lot of care and love into their craft, and the product really shows it. Exciting unique flavors are available, along with the classics. And you can sample before you order! This is a don't miss. See you at Friendly Market in March!! read more

Hands down the best ice cream I've ever had. And ice cream is my favorite food, so I've tried a lot! The flavors are original and even better, made with fresh, natural ingredients! The chocolate is outstanding, it's no wonder it's an award winner! If you're an ice cream lover, you have to check this place out! But be warned, you will become addicted, just ask the 8 or so pints in my freezer! read more

He makes smooth homemade ice cream with a creamy texture and quality ingredients. A small operator who just wants to make good ice cream. He is willing to try new ideas. read more

Free samples! Most of the ice cream flavors are created with local ingredients (like the Kentucky peaches or Kentucky blueberries). This is a great local stop for ice cream lovers. The staff is always courteous and even the classic vanilla is a cut above other companies. They make root beer floats, orange floats, butter beer, and really most floats you can think of. The waffle cones are made right in front of you also. I highly recommend this company for your local ice cream needs. read more

Best ice cream in the entire world. I buy it by the pint from The Gruff in Covington. The Honey Lavender is my favorite followed by the black raspberry chip (way better than Graeter's). This ice cream is so fresh and creamy. It's un-real. read more

Just bought a pint of Chocolate-cinammon-cayenne peppper ice cream...it was phenomenal! In fact, I didnt think it could get any better...until I paired it with The Colonel's Banana ice cream. HOLY CRAP! So creamy and delicious! Colonel Don really puts the WOW back in ice cream! read more

Hands down, the best ice cream ever. I ordered the Bourbon Honey flavor with a waffle cone....absolutely amazing!! My husband ordered the strawberry and he thought it was great too (this coming from an ice cream snob of, *ehm*, that other local area ice cream place that starts with the letter G.) The lady scooping the ice cream was super friendly and let us try whatever flavor we wanted prior to ordering. We also had the chance to speak to the owner, the Colonel, and what a nice guy. He explained how they've made 90+ flavors since they have opened and they locally source their ingredients where possible. Head over and check them out. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Upon my arrival I was overwhelmed with joy to find huckleberry ice cream on the menu! For those ho have not had huckleberry ice cream, you should try it. It is delicious. They have many unique and scrumptious flavors to try. The staff is friendly and it has good seating so you can enjoy your food in comfort. I will definitely be returning for more read more

Amazing ice cream with flavors you'll never imagine. You get to sample any flavor you want and the customer service is very welcoming.

Great ratings but a great disappointment for me! Freezer burnt raspberry ruined the sampler for me! $4.50 / 3 scoops. $3.00 / 1 scoop. Pricey. read more

I'm not a huge sweets fan but this place is good. My wife and kids love coming here. Unfortunately they are leaving Friendly Market on August 29th. read more

Heaven! My wife and I were driving through this area and came upon this gem. I am so happy we did. Their ice cream was delicious and everyone was friendly. read more

We loved visiting this place! The Colonel offered several delicious sample suggestions and was a joy to talk with about his craft. The Darn Hot Brown was amazing, the Key Lime was super creamy, and the Peach was outstanding. This is a gem, hidden in The Friendly Market, and absolutely worth the stop! read more

It is such a cute and friendly place. My husband had a nice chat with the owner. I really enjoyed the Honey lavender flavor.

Fabulous ice cream! The flavor profile is amazing. It is a staple in our house now. Their black raspberry chip and honey lavender are among our favorites. The staff is extremely helpful and courteous. This will change the way you look at ice cream. read more

Been there countless times so figured it was time for a review. For all the flavors I have tried I have yet to have one I didn't like. The banana ice cream is probably my favorite as it taste like eating an actual banana. I also tried one with lavender (lavender honey I think) which was better than you would think and I even tried one that was spiced / chocolate and bought more. They offer free samples (small spoon full) of what they have and if you buy a pint (or whatever size) they will pack the ice cream solid in the container and fill it as full as possible. It is money well spent. read more

The Colonel is fantastic! The ice cream is absolutely wonderful! And even more-this is a neighborhood business that gives back to the community and simply loves his business and ice cream...give a locally owned shop a break and give it a try. You will be glad you supported a small business, read more
