The Colonel's Creamery

The Colonel's Creamery in Florence, Kentucky, is a delightful ice cream

Award-Winning Quality: The "Colonel" (owner Don Lambert) is a recognized expert in the field, having won the prestigious "Iron Scoop" award for flavor innovation at the National Ice Cream Retailers Association convention.

Small-Batch Artistry: Unlike many standard soft-serve stands, this is a true artisan shop where ice cream is made in small batches on-site. Their "Winners' Circle Dutch Chocolate" and "Signature Vanilla" are both blue-ribbon prize winners.

Inventive Flavor Rotations: The menu is constantly evolving, featuring robust and sometimes exotic flavors alongside perfectly executed classics. They are known for high butterfat content, which gives the ice cream an exceptionally creamy texture.

The Atmosphere: The shop is designed with a sense of "Americana nostalgia," featuring the aroma of freshly baked waffle cones and music from radio’s golden era. It even includes a photo booth for families to capture memories.

Artisan Treats: Beyond standard scoops, they offer high-end sundaes, thick milkshakes, and pints to go, all served with a focus on "slow down and savor" quality.
