My experience at Every's Ice Cream was nothing short of memorable. As we strolled through the…read moredowntown area... i was immediately drawn to the inviting atmosphere of this small, family-run shop. Known for being new to the ice cream scene in Lafayette, Indiana, it didn't disappoint. The service was impressively swift, ensuring that we could enjoy our treat without any unnecessary wait. For two, sharing three scoops was a delightful decision, as the portion sizes were generous, offering excellent value. We indulged in espresso and blueberry cheesecake, alongside peanut butter fudge each flavor offering a rich and satisfying experience. This establishment is highly recommended for anyone seeking a cozy spot to enjoy ice cream sourced directly from a local farm in southern Indiana. I'll definitely be returning to Every's Ice Cream for another taste of their creamy ice cream, that is around 16 percent butter fat , which is high for the industry and the smooth textures confirmed this! We also found it is not overly sweet so that you can taste the flavors intended. RATINGS & LOGISTICS: - Atmosphere: 8/10 - Food Quality: 9/10 - Service/Flow: 9/10 - Value: 9/10 - Would Return: Yes. I'll be back.

It gets so busy and they're open until 11 which is great. Also located on campus. Even though it gets busy it moves fast. If you see a line don't be afraid it moves!

The sodas are served with rabbit-turd ice (unquestionably the best kind of ice). And they are made with real syrups and stirred together, like they used to do back in the olden days when the world was black and white, and the people behind the counter creating your drink were called soda jerks. You can also order a soda with other flavors stirred in, like butterscotch, chocolate, cucumber, cherry, lavender and the like, plus phosphates, floats, malts, Italian cream sodas, dirty sodas, freezes, tea, lemonade, ice cream scoops, sundaes and shakes. If it's sweet and you can drink it or let it melt in your mouth, they can probably make it here for you behind the soda counter at McCord Candies. You'll also find candy and chocolates, of every variety and permutation imaginable. Many of the candies and chocolates are made in-house, like their candy canes, which you can see being made right in front of you around the holidays. If you like sweets, you will find something here. Take your goodies to go, or you can go upstairs and enjoy them where there are a few tables and a nice view of the candy store below. There are also some vintage clothing and knickknacks for sale that you can peruse.
