Home - Ehrler's Ice Cream
This place is open seasonally and only accepts cash but I don't think that should deter you. This place has great ice cream and a fun mural on the side of the building that makes for fun Instagram photos.
Dairy Kastle
I love this ice crema shop because its' authentic and retro. The menu is MASSIVE so you are sure to find something you like.
Dairy Del Ice Cream
This place is open seasonally and you can't miss it because it's literally a big red barrel that serves ice cream. Totally worth the trip and the IG photo.

This place offers premium ice cream and Italian ice drinks. They have locations all over town and you can book their food truck.

This is a great spot for homemade ice cream. I like that they also carry a very large selection of homemade pies and baked goods. Pie and ice cream? Yes please!

I think this place is so cool because they make some amazing ice cream desserts using liquid nitrogen. It's a must see in my opinion!

I love froyo and being able to mix my own mix-ins! This is just the place for that here in Louisville. This is a small business so go out and support her.
