Sabrina’s take: Great ice cream and I love all of their flavors. I’ve known the owner, Joe, since I was little, and it’s the go to spot for ice cream in Lexington. You can also sit down there with open tables, and they also have hot cocoa during the winter. Popular spot with everyone, and packed on half days. The cocoa joel is unique and unlike any other ice cream.
