Best Gelato in Frankfort

"From the owners of Thai Orchid Cafe (which I still miss), who started making ice cream for the cafe and ended up having crazy demand for the ice cream, so opened a shop!. They serve ice cream, sorbet, sundaes and even ice cream cocktails at their Distillery District location. The ice cream is very rich – the chocolate is extra chocolately in the most delicious way – and creamy."

"Crank & Boom ice cream started when the owners were looking for a dessert to serve in their Thai restaurant. The ice cream was so popular it became their passion project and they now crank (see what I did there?) out a variety of flavors made in house using local, all-natural ingredients. I’m partial to the Bourbon & Honey and Kentucky Blackberry and Buttermilk flavors."

"Sorella Gelateria scoops handcrafted, small-batch ice cream in their small shop in downtown Lexington. Their artisanal gelato and sorbetto will make you think you have walked into a gelateria in Rome instead of Kentucky. Started by sisters Selma and Alma, they craft their gorgeous ice creams using the techniques Selma learned while attending gelato school in Italy."

"Sorella is a small shop serving hand-crafted gelato and sorbet. The menu rotates, but they always have classic Italian gelato flavors and some unique treats. I’ve even seen them put Girl Scout cookies in gelato!"

"My wife and I have been regulars here for a while now, the gelato is absolutely the best!!. I have tried many flavors, but always seem to get the peach an..."

"You can’t talk about the Lexington ice cream scene without Graeter’s!. They’ve got the classics like Cookie Dough and Cookies and Creme, more adventurous flavors like Black Raspberry Chip and Salted Caramel, plus seasonal favorites like Peach and Banana Chip. I need to take a minute to talk about Graeter’s chocolate chunks."

"Remember when I said that I loved ice cream so much that it would be part of my last meal?. Heck, it probably would be my last meal and it would be a scoop, or two, or three of Graeter’s black raspberry chocolate chip. It is a delight from its pinky-purple color to the smooth as silk texture."

"Technically, Steel City Pops isn’t a local shop, but their popsicle shops are only found in the South which is good enough for me. Their popsicles come in a rainbow of flavors with classics, seasonal, small-batch, and territory flavors, offerings unique to each state. View this post on Instagram"

"Their ice cream shop was such a surprise with so many interesting things to choose from. All of the thirty plus flavors of their ice cream and other treats are made in-house using fresh ingredients. Their beautiful paletas come in so many interesting flavors and jeweled colors you’ll have a hard time just choosing one!"
