The service here is always phenomenal. It's in sucn an old classic building too. We stop here monthly for our ice cream fix. I always get a strawberry smoothie with the ice cream. It's delicious. read more

Borden's Ice Cream is always a stop for me whenever I am in Lafayette visiting family. It is the only Borden's ice cream shop left, which makes it feel nostalgic and special. I usually keep it simple with a classic sundae, but this time I decided to try a milkshake. Unfortunately, the milkshake was more milk than shake. I ordered cookies and cream and appreciated that they make everything homemade and allow you to select any ice cream flavor for your shake. However, the outcome literally tasted like milk. I did not taste cookies, cream, or any of the richness I expected. The texture and flavor were both overwhelmingly milky, which was disappointing. I will still return because this place is sentimental and has many other great options, but I will stick to my usual sundae moving forward. read more

This is what I believe to be the last Borden's Ice Cream Shoppe in the United States. Not only do they serve the great Borden's ice cream, but you can also enjoy hot dogs, chili dogs, nachos plain or with cheese and/or chili. You could also opt for a bowl of chili. You can eat inside or take it to go. The service is quick. The building is designed with an Art Deco flair. The interior has a counter that is trimmed with stainless steel just like the old days. I'm a sucker for nostalgia, and this place has it! read more

Lived in Lafayette a while now and for some reason had never stopped by this iconic location, but time was due and brought the whole family, and iconic was very well put, feels like you stepped back in time, the choices were very good and the portions were incredible, the hot food was a nice little touch and the prices were phenomenal, the staff was very welcoming and friendly, the vibe was quiet and laid back which is welcoming with Johnston bustling right beside it, 10/10 will definitely be stopping by again very soon. read more

We stopped here after a trip to the Lafayette Science Museum. The kids enjoyed their ice cream sundaes, shakes, and root beer floats. I ordered "The Kip," which is a delicious frozen coffee. The ice cream shoppe was clean, fairly quiet (only a few other people were there while we were), and the staff was quick with our orders. It was the perfect stop on the way home! read more

Great mom and pop vibe! I was out of town found this gold mine. It was great, staff was great, it was very busy! 5 stars

Huge let down! Was not good. Lady didn't tell me the size and cookie was so hard as a rock and not warm. This is definitely not good. I felt rushed. And the atmosphere was nice. But I wouldn't come here again. Over priced and rushed. read more

This place has been a staple of Lafayette. It's old school feel with good food and great service makes it a must when in the area!

My, oh, my! Splendiferous. Maybe the best ice cream I've ever had. Lots of choices of flavors. However you want it: cup, come, sundae, shake, soda (and I know I'm missing some options). The sundaes we chose allowed for up to 3 flavors of ice cream, the toppings and whipped cream were very, very good. The servings are quite large. Plenty of seating and parking. Great service!! read more

The banana splits are the best.. never had one with 6 scoops of ice cream..you will definitely have to share that!!

A quaint busy classic ice cream parlor. Go, line up, get one of many ice cream dippers to make a mouthwatering sundae. It's loud, lots of kids, and nostalgic. In a hurry? You may want to go through their drive-through. read more

This place is fire!!! I have been here twice. Once for food and another time for ice cream. The hot dogs are huge and the scones are absolutely delicious. I tried a chocolate nut sundae and was impressed on the load of toppings they put on it. It was covered in chocolate sauce and walnuts. Every bite I took was pure heaven. The whipped cream and cherry topped it off perfectly. The staff are very friendly and like to joke around with the customers. Will be back to try new things soon! read more

Great old fashion soda fountain. The chocolate mint ice cream was small bowl was huge and very good. The coffee ice cream was not to strong but very smooth. The woman who served us was excellent. read more

If you love ice cream get it here. I got the strawberry on a waffle cone. Real strawberries, generous helping, oh so good. My husband got the vanilla malt and it was very good. I prefer hand scooped ice cream when I get it and this is just the place. They have a large menu with all kinds of options. Definitely try it out if you've got a sweet tooth. read more

Borden's has my heart!!! Oddly enough this is one of my go-to places for a coffee, they've got a variety of flavors and they also have espresso! The ice cream is top notch, of course. And the drive-thru is a game changer read more

Borden's should be better than it is. Sure, it has the iconic name, the service is good and the old timey interior is worth the price of admission but the ice cream is just average. read more

Very cute place. Gives off very old school vibes which is so cute and refreshing. Staff were super friendly and upbeat. Offered to describe different menu items. Made sure everyone was taken care of before moving on to the next group of people. I got the dip cone with regular chocolate and cookies and cream. It was a larger portion than I was expect. Which is great!! No complains here. Great place to it up for some after dinner dessert. read more

An old fashioned ice cream shop with a beautiful interior. The price of the atmosphere is reflected in a high price for their average ice cream. My wife and I had two scoop cones without anything extra. Cost was $11.00. Service was good and fast. Everything was clean. Large parking lot. Would prefer a lower price for the ice cream. read more

went there and asked for hot dogs and got nachos instead. They claim to have good nachos so i decided just to go with it. It was the lowest quality nachos I have ever had. The chips were stale and got soggy really fast and the cheese tasted very very artificial. read more

It's an old Timey ice cream shop that probably is only still in existence because it's a nostalgic place to go. I enjoy the ice cream here but it's really nothing super special.

Our first stop in Lafayette on our weekend getaway was this little historic ice cream shop. (Thank you Yelp app for helping us to find it!) It proudly boasts about how it is the same now as it was when it opened many years ago. The ice cream was okay but the staff were very friendly and we enjoyed ourselves! The shop has your standard ice cream flavors but nothing to write home about. The only flavor that may be unique to this location would be pralines and cream. However, they do offer a "homemade ice cream sandwich" where they will put four small scoops of the ice cream flavor of your choice in between two cookies of your choosing. I got cookies and cream ice cream in M&M's cookies and it was delicious! My boyfriend got a sundae which was also great! read more

Let me start off with, when it comes to getting ice cream at a place, I am hands down a DQ girl. Well that was until Saturday. I had the pleasure of being introduced to this fine establishment and the rest is history. Walking in the door, I felt like a kid that wanted to touch all the fabulous things. I felt like I was in a Grease movie, it just touched the inner kid. I was in total amazement. I tried to keep myself contained because, I did have kids that didn't seem to be as excited as I was; whomp whomp. I wanted EVERYTHING in there, but I settled for a scoop (which was more than enough) of chocolate ice cream with whipped cream. It took me a really long time to eat that delicious scoop of ice cream, because I didn't want my tongue to cry or have a temper tantrum. You better believe I will be back and I want to sit at the counter, lol! read more

I honestly had forgotten about this place until I saw an article about this being the last one in the country in operation. We ended up getting the Banana Split which believe me, was big enough for two. Our Banana Split ($7.68) came with the banana of course, Vanilla, Strawberry and Pistachio Ice Cream. It was topped with Pineapple, Strawberries and whipped Cream on one side ( I don't like whip cream) and a cherry on top. This was a pretty good with the strawberry ice cream and pistachio ice cream tasting really good. The vanilla one was just okay. The strawberries and pineapple topping were great. Decent customer service and prices. read more

As the only remaining Borden's Ice Cream joint left the ambiance of this place is at least four stars but the ice cream is definitely not anything special. I end up grabbing some dessert satisfaction in this establishment when I stay across the street at the Blue Moon Saloon & Guesthouse so the combination of these two cool places in such close proximity makes this a very awesome area! If you're in Lafayette this is definitely a must visit spot for some vintage charm. read more
