Ice Cream Shop In Lexington
Lexington is a small town with lots of charm and many great places to eat. One of those places we enjoy visiting is this cute ice cream parlor. Sweet Things makes their own ice cream and they even roll their own waffle cones. It is a sweet touch to our small town.
Where is Sweet Things Located?
Sweet Things is right next to Washington and Lee campus at 106 West Washington Street. There is street parking nearby and there is a small parking lot about a half block away. In addition to being downtown, this location is perfect for college kids.
What makes Sweet Things special?
When I can find an ice cream parlor that makes their own ice cream, I get incredibly excited. There’s just something about a place that has their own successful recipe and they aren’t buying something I can get anywhere else. These guys have a great recipe and they stick to it.
Also, Sweet Things has great waffle cones they make in house. Who doesn’t love a home made waffle cone, especially a chocolate dipped one? When guests walk into the parlor, they will immediately smell the waffle cones cooking and it just adds to the experience.
Sweet Things Menu
The menu at Sweet Things changes based on the season and what flavors they decide to make. There are basic flavors that they always have but there are always some good surprises. For example, my most recent visit, I was able to try an Oreo Hazelnut flavor and it was incredible!
Like most ice cream parlors, they have tasting spoons so guests can make sure before they commit to one or two flavors.
Sweet Things also offers sundaes, shakes, banana splits and more. There are many options to keep people happy.
I especially love to get a dipped waffle cone with one or two flavors of ice cream and just savor it.
Atmosphere
This is just a simple ice cream parlor in a small town and it is just right. You can enjoy the ice cream in the parlor, down the street there are a few benches or stroll downtown while you enjoy your treat. This is a perfect summer activity and the whole family will love it!
