    Hmmm...no banana splits!! What. Well is real good ice cream anyway. Oddball flavors, kinda, and not much of standard. But those are interesting. Not for us however. There are better ice cream store options.

    Small batch. Super premium. Homemade ice cream. That is what their website says. Yes, yes, and yes. Hands down some of the best ice cream I've ever had. I'm visiting from Arizona and I felt like having some ice cream, I don't eat ice cream all the time so when I do I want it to be a treat. I looked up places for ice cream nearby. This place has really great reviews on google. I can see why. The ice cream is super creamy with really yummy flavor combinations. There is a signature flavor menu with many the classic flavors you'd expect. And then there is the seasonal menu. I chose one flavor from each. I got a "split" scoop which is 2 smaller scoops vs a double is 2 full size scoops. I opted for the June special- hip hip brulee (Vanilla bean ice cream with a mixed berry swirl & Nilla wafer crunch! Topped with brûléed sugar dust) and it was even tastier than it sounds. My second flavor is the monster cookie (Peanut butter ice cream with oatmeal cookie dough, M&M's, & milk chocolate chips) Easy 5 stars to give!

    While visiting, I stopped by here on the advice of a native. They said it was probably the best ice cream shop in Lincoln, and I'd agree! I had the Almond Brittle & Salted Ganache (mainly because of the name), and it lived up to the hype. The staff was kind, helpful, and made sure my first 402 Creamery experience was grand! If you have the chance, stop by and give them a try!

    This place is very popular and I can see why! The line moves quickly and they have some great funky flavors. Their homemade waffle cones were one of my favorite parts!!! It's small, but mighty. They have a few tables inside and some benches outside.

    Very good ice cream. I went hear twice. The first time everyone was friendly. It was early afternoon and there were only 3 customers. I had funnel of love, just one scoop. It was very good. I then took my in-laws there the next day, in the evening. It was crowded. The line was out the door by the time we left. This time I had two scoops, one of the funnel of love, and one of the caramel carnival. Both were delicious. The place was very clean. I do think it's a little pricey which is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. I think I spent $17 for three adults. If you have a lot of kids or a big group expect to spend a lot of money. Important to know is that they have a limited number of flavors, so you might not see the typical ice cream flavors. That being said the caramel carnival which I belobe had the cornflakes in it was very good.

    Yum!

    Awesome spot for ice cream. Creative flavors and high quality. Love this place and really want to try more of their flavors. Great for kids, date night, pints to go, any and all! Friendly service and just a great spot for all. I really want to try their Cinnamon Roll and Chili flavor.....

    This happened to be our second visit and second time to Lincoln and the 402 creamery, but this time just outside of the downtown area. Ice cream is just as good, if not better then the other location as they have different varieties coming in and out. We tried the cinnamon snickerdoodle, monster cookie, and a strawberry shake which were all excellent. Hand made ice cream takes on a different texture than the mass produced version and has almost a chewy, stringy consistency along with large pieces of cookies or other ingredients which I really like. The monster cookie was a madman creation with cookie dough, M&M's, and one or two other delicious items included that I can't name off the top of my head. Highly recommend stopping in if your in town.

    Got this place as a suggestion from my brother-in law. Simple inside and out, but a flavor for days! Enjoyed the snickerdoodle and the monster cookie! Both were delicious and creamy! Great local spot to try anywhere in Lincoln, Nebraska!

    402 creamery was absolutely delightful. They have a variety of unique seasonal & signature flavors. I got "on a roll" in a waffle cone. It was delicious and super sweet. If you like caramel & cinnamon, you'd probably enjoy "on a roll." I'd definitely come back here!

    This is our favorite ice cream spot in town! I love seeing the new flavor combinations they come up with each month, and the scoops are very generous in size. My favorite flavor is the bees knees.

    This place somehow managed to redefine what a zero-star experience looks like. Out of every froyo…read morespot I've ever stepped foot in, this one has firmly planted itself at the absolute bottom of the list and it's going to stay there. Let's start with the basics: zero flavors. I'm not exaggerating. Walking into a frozen yogurt shop and seeing almost nothing available is wild. The topping bar? Barely anything there either. At that point you're basically paying for a cup of disappointment. On top of that, the trash cans were completely full, which pretty much set the tone for the whole place. I'm not trying to go full "Karen mode" here, but seriously can a guy and his girl just enjoy some froyo on a Monday afternoon without it feeling like a scavenger hunt for toppings? And whoever decided that California Tart should be the main thing on tap... that's a crazy decision. They clearly don't know ball when it comes to froyo. Overall, if you're looking for a place with flavor options, toppings, or even basic upkeep, you might want to keep driving. This spot turned what should've been a simple froyo stop into one of the most underwhelming dessert experiences I've had.

By the time I made my selection someone finally walked out from the back area, I asked a question about a topping and the response was incomprehensible. The staff was on her phone the entire time and when I gave her $6 cash for my $5.74 total she said "I'm just waiting for you to give me 74 cents" I reminded her I gave her $6 to which she replied "bro, sorry I'm not even paying attention " I paid and left unlikely to ever return!!!!

Many friends have enjoyed their sandwiches ands tacos too. Also love their elote any way they make it. The newer electronic menu is frustrating as it moves too fast to read it. You can grab a printed menu if this creates chaos in your brain too. The wait staff is efficient and somber. The strip of buildings is in an unfortunately ever increasing shabby area. The amount of dirty gum, cigarette butts, trash and scary characters on the sidewalk and in front of the buildings is unfortunate and depressing. We still go though. It would be lovely if all of this could be cleaned and improved upon. Several of the businesses are quite nice to have in Lincoln but they are dotted with less than desirable business. There is a large trash can out front of the building on the corner but they don't really get used enough by the public. The landscaping on this block at one time was beautiful but it too is looking rougher by the year.
