    Visited Graeter’s Ice Cream (also great at a few other spots around Lexington and Northern Kentucky) and had an awesome ice cream experience! The ice cream is incredibly creamy and rich thanks to their traditional French pot process, and the flavor selection is excellent—whether you go for classics or seasonal favorites.  The staff was friendly, and the shop had a welcoming vibe perfect for grabbing a cone or a sundae. This place is a must‑visit for anyone who loves quality, flavorful ice cream and refreshing desserts on a warm day. Highly recommended if you’re in the area and craving something sweet! 🍨

    WARNING! If you visit this Graeter’s, despite being a paying customer you have a good chance of getting a $60, escalating to $100 parking ticket. Something is wrong here. Read other reviews and be aware. The ice cream is great. But not worth the stress, hidden costs, or hassle that comes with it.
