B.A.D. Boys Ice Cream

A perfect dessert stop right near UofL campus. Great options for flavors-Banana Creme Pie was our favorite. They rotate flavors often! The owner is very passionate about ice cream, and loves to share the story of the shop. Lots of seating inside and outside. Such a great neighborhood, too! Worth a stop!

Don’t let the location make you overlook this place! Definitely worth a trip. Wisconsin-made ice cream and quite tasty. Locally owned and operated. Peach and banana cream in a waffle cone is awesome! Note the hours are only afternoon/evening on Thursday and Friday and then weekends.

Don’t sleep on BAD boys ice cream. Great service + great ice cream = the perfect treat! They also serve delicious VEGAN oat-based options, which are not always easy to find. They were so kind to also offer me a sample of a new oat-based Oreo ice cream they were about to incorporate into their rotation… unsurprisingly, delicious. We’re thrilled to have this hidden gem so close by and looking forward to visiting again with our pup for a pup-cup and grabbing a pint to-go!

The ice cream is super premium from Wisconsin with a wide variety of flavors. I’ve enjoyed this ice cream when I lived in WI and I’m glad to find it here in KY! Service is super friendly and informative if you don’t know how amazing this ice cream is. Fair prices. A great treat for anyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A true hidden gem for ice cream lovers! I stopped by B.A.D Boys Ice Cream just before closing on a Sunday, and the vibe was just as cool as the treats. One of the owners was outside chatting with people and instantly recognized me from a previous visit. He welcomed me in with the kind of energy that makes you feel like a regular—even if you’ve only been once. The shop is full of bright colors and good vibes—just like the team running it. With 16 unique flavors on the menu, I couldn’t decide, so Steve stepped in with a recommendation: the Black Cherry Oat milkshake. It was unreal—creamy, rich, and full of deep cherry flavor, easily one of the best shakes I’ve had in years. The portion was super generous, and the price? Surprisingly affordable. You can tell they take pride in b
