    Peach cobbler ice cream (seasonal special)
    Jennifer M.

    Went there last night and had their seasonal peach cobbler ice cream. It was OUTRAGEOUSLY good. Delicious, hot peach cobbler topped by ice cream, whipped cream and fresh peach. I will be thinking about that one for a while.

    I absolutely love this place! The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. They have a few different options but honestly they were all great. I am not normally a fan of chocolate but even their chocolate custard was amazing. Some flavors did seem either seasonal or changed out weekly but either way you will not be disappointed. The establishment is on the smaller side, more of a grab and go situation and parking is limited, I parked down the street.

    Street parking is difficult but a parking garage is next door. It is a tiny little ice cream shop on the corner with no tables, grab and go. A theatre is next door and across the street. I went on a busy night, I could see several people waiting and a long line to get into the parking garage. She asked if I wanted to sample when I arrived and of course I love tiramisu custard so I tried and decided to make it a brownie tiramisu sundae. This hit the spot after dinner. I would like to try the malt next time when I'm in the area.

    First time at Lexie's Frozen Custard. Small hole in the wall. No seating. Order and go kind of place. Really liked the custard flavors for chocolate/vanilla. The toffee bits were good. The chocolate sauce was great. Not too sweet but complimented the sundae. Street parking

    Banana caramel sundae

    Stumbled upon this place after a concert that was down the street at the theatre. The place was packed with many inside and walking out. We got two sundaes that were a decent portion. Not sure what frozen custard is but it was so delicious! The banana caramel was not overly sweet and the cashier let me know it was a personal favorite. The inside was accessible for handicap but extremely small. It was very packed it was uncomfortable to wait inside packed with everyone, so I sat outside and waited. Overall it was delicious, I would come again and try more flavors! Service was super kind & helpful.

    Great spot! I will unfortunately have to take a point off for ambiance, but if I could do 4.5 I would!! Mini sundae-size is an excellent idea, great serving size for me to try a scoop w all the fix-ins. Cool flavors, nice toppings, environmentally conscious, what else do you need!?

    Who doesn't like frozen custard? If you know someone who doesn't, we probably can't be friends. I really like the different options from affogato to floats here. It's the kind of shop I want to frequent often. I'm a huge fan of coffee so their coffee coffee really appealled to me, and it was exactly the 5 stars you would expect. Great coffee flavor with bits of coffee. Friendly staff, free water, a table outside. We need this in every city!

    Saw this last time we were here in October for a show of course and had to stop by before heading back to the city. The staff were friendly when we got in and there was no one behind us so we were able to take our time looking at the menu. There isn't a place for you to sit inside but a small table outside with two chairs. My bf got the Affogato: Scoop of custard drowned in an espresso shot for $6.25 and I got the Speculoos Mini Sundae: vanilla frozen custard, cookie butter sauce, Biscoff cookies with whipped cream and a natural cherry for $7. They started off as a food truck from 2013-2020 before this location opened in 2022. Frozen custard is super dense and smooth soft serve ice cream made with milk, cream, sugar, and egg yolk just like other premium ice creams. They make their custard base and almost every topping from scratch. The frozen custard is made fresh daily in small batches and recommended to eat fresh for the best texture. With the use of local and organic ingredients, compostable cups and spoons, and are proud to be in a green building.

    The least creamy and rich custard I have ever had. With that out of the way you may be wondering why it's still 4 stars. I'm not a huge ice cream fan. But the flavors are so good. I'm crazy for anything plum and the plum crumble is fantastic. Packaging of the pints to go is also excellent. They put them in a freezer bag with a little ice pack on them. If you want a rich creamy texture you are likely going to be disappointed. If you want something more like a gelato this is it.

    was next door for a show and wanted a sweet treat. really loved this mini sundae. It was the perfect amount of soft serve and wasn't too overwhelming. They have all their flavors and menu posted inside, so we were able to take our time to decide what we wanted to order.

    Sometimes you need some sweet indulgence before a theater matinee. Jamie W and I were a bit early for a performance at Berkeley Rep. Now I suppose we could've used the time to exercise like dropping down and doing fifty push-ups. But that seemed unlikely since I can barely do one. Or we could come here and see what frozen custard will contribute to our lives. Gee, tough decision. They serve the frozen custard in various delectable forms. Either by scoop in various flavors, or in sundaes with complimentary ingredients, or under the catch-all category of specialties like affogato, pie slices, and root beer floats. We decided to share the $9 Regular Peanut Butter Oreo Sundae with a base of creamy chocolate frozen custard topped with a thick, ropey peanut butter sauce, whipped cream, Oreo crumbles, and a pair of black cherries (Photo 9). Quite the yum and not overly sweet. Good decision. FOOD - 5 stars...tasty frozen custard that doesn't overwhelm your sweet tooth AMBIANCE - 4 stars...compact spot with seating outside SERVICE - 4.5 stars...very friendly and helpful TOTAL - 5 stars...a shareable treat quite unlike froyo shops RELATED - Exploring Berkeley?

The only issue is there's no clear menu posted online, so we walked in completely blind. Their website shows a long list of flavors but not what they actually have that day, so it felt like a guessing game. The line moved really slow because there was only one employee handling everything. She was taking orders, giving samples, answering questions, and ringing people up all at once. She was super friendly and doing her best, but it felt like a lot for one person during a rush and the shop could definitely use more help. The space is really small and tight so it was hard to even see the flavors until we got close to the front. When we finally got up there, a lot of the tubs were already empty which was confusing since most ice cream shops restock. Some flavors I wanted weren't available anymore, and if they're out it would make more sense to just remove them from display. The dirty containers didn't make sense to display. I sampled the jasmine green tea and knew right away I wanted it. It was creamy with a smooth tea flavor that wasn't overpowering. I got a small with half jasmine green tea and half avocado. The avocado was surprisingly really good, super creamy and tasted like a fresh avocado smoothie. Both flavors weren't overly sweet which I liked. My husband wanted cookies and cream but it was sold out so he got chocolate chip instead, which was solid and creamy with good texture. Overall the ice cream itself was good, not the best I've had but definitely not bad. I like that the flavors lean more natural and not overly sweet. I could see myself coming back if I'm in the area, but the experience would be a lot better with faster service and more consistency with what's actually available.

He exclaimed, beaming, at least three times how good that flavor was! * King Pluot: One of the special flavors of the day, the gelato captured the taste of summer - bright, sweet, and refreshing. * Black Sesame: I was curious how black sesame would taste in gelato, and I was not disappointed - the flavor was deep and earthy, made with Japanese sesame seeds.

We have been extremely loyal customers ever since. They rotate flavors, but through many months and many visits I don't think I've ever tried a bad one. The flavors are also very fun, not your typical cookies and cream, cookie dough, etc. Although they do have a plain version sometimes. The employees are very helpful and kind letting you sample the flavors. Our absolute favorite is tinky winky- ube flavored ice cream with honey comb pieces. They also sell points to the side- take advantage. You'll want more when you're done! The ambiance and vibe of bad Walter's is perfect. Bright colors, disco ball dripping, fun sayings on the cups, the whole 9 yards. The take home pint we got has Reddit "hate" comments and their responses, it's hilarious. This ice cream store is way more of a vibe than any marketing agent could dream of. Who would've thought I wish I could be a rep for an ice cream company? Oh and they also do a stamp card when you buy pints to get a free scoop. You bring in the containers so they can recycle them. It's a win win for both sides, loves it. Best ice cream ever!!!

But, my boss orders us food from Fenton's via Doordash to be delivered to our Oakland office from time to time. Last several times in a row, it's been pretty dang bad, (the potato chips always taste fishy!) but today (8/5/26) it was literally garbage. We had 2 egg salad sandwiches and a jalapeno burger, plus two milkshakes. The egg salad sandwiches had to be straight up tossed out. Just not edible. The egg salad was sooo watery, it was like a soup. Just dripping and running down out of the bread. Also, a HEAVY mustard taste, overpowering everything else. The burger had a piece of something (literally) translucent on it, apparently their idea of a slice of cheese? And the accompanying fries were COLD. The toasted almond milkshake was so runny it was like a flavored water. Not at all a creamy consistency, I don't even think they made it with milk, it seemed to be just a tiny bit of ice cream, some water and a lot of ice cubes (still visible in the shake). Just nasty. The other milkshake seemed ok. Of course, with the order being from DoorDash, it's near-impossible to get any real support, so it's just basically a total loss. I don't know if Fenton's just doesn't GAF, since they're always busy anyways, OR if they need to pay their employees more in order to attract the sort of person who's capable of being trained to care to do things correctly, but it's just really a bummer that such a neat, fun, old legacy business is allowing itself to disappoint customers and turn into a big mess like this.
