Lexie's Frozen Custard

Amazing offering and amazing service. Menu IRL slightly different from what was on the website, but can't really complain when the product is so good. This is one of their cements, it was a banana one, kinda like a blended sundae, thought it was going to be a bit more like a milkshake but TBH this is even better. Fast and friendly service. Will definitely be back.

Lexie's is THE BEST! Her frozen custard is so velvety and creamy, it's a whole other level up from ice cream or soft-serve. She uses really high-quality ingredients and a Straus base, and you can taste the difference! The flavor of the day is always wonderful, as are the sundaes, but don't overlook the ice cream sandwiches and ice-cream pies in the cold case! Her pies are the ONLY way my family celebrates our birthdays and special occasions.

Loved stopping by Lexie’s! Their flavour of the day was made with fresh strawberries from the farmers market. Several vegan options to choose from made from real fruit.

Great little spot. Tucked away in the “theater district” of Berkeley small shop but huge impact line out of the door when we went, but it went fast, delicious dessert, and friendly staff.

Since it’s a special day, figured I’d dessert it up. Found Lexie’s, packed on a Friday night, clearly I don’t get out enough. Lexie was behind the counter, we had a quick back and forth…she’s 2 months younger and even offered a candle. I declined, but we both had a shared twinkle in the eye. Got the sorbet with a selection of toppings suggested by her. Check this spot out.

Amazing flavors, amazing quality. And they have lactaid!!!! Tiramisu malt is sooo good.

I love this place! Their frozen custard is so good and I love the fresh ingredients on their sundaes. I’ve eaten at their food truck numerous times and I can’t wait for their store to open. Edit: omg this place is the best! Their flavors rotate, and don’t sleep on the dark chocolate sorbet! It’s deadly chocolate heaven

A MUST GO IN BERKELEY. This is my favorite ice cream (frozen custard) place in the entire Bay Area. The frozen custard is so smooth and creamy and flavorful, and all of the house made toppings are fire! The cobbler a la mode they do on the weekends is so good. I once bought it and ate it outside and then immediately went back in for another. My other favorites are the banana caramel sundae and the very berry sundae. The pies are excellent too - I have tried the pumpkin ginger snap (Thanksgiving special?) and the key lime, both were amazing!

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

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.

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!

We popped in here while waiting for an event over at the Berkeley Rep. The staff were so patient and helpful (I changed my order midway after seeing the special of the day). And they helped me accommodate my low dairy needs. The apple crumble with apple cider sorbet sundae I had was so incredibly good!

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?

Needed a sweet treat and came across this super cute and yummy place! Small and sweet!!! The Banana Lexie was AMAZING! Can't wait to come back and try the pie slice

Located at 2010 Addison St, to the right of Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse, a small custard shop lives - Lexie's. It specializes in a small menu of classic flavors - chocolate and vanilla along with the flavor of the day - thin mint (on our visit) and a seasonal vegan sorbet - guava. There are seasonal sundae options available, which I partook in. All options are fresh, organic and house made. The flavors can be enjoyed simply in a cup or cone as a scoop or as a specialty item ranging from a concentrate, to sundae option, affogato or shake to a kids classic - dirt & worm sundae, which my daughter enjoyed. Don't forget to ask your little one if they would like a cup or cone. Cones cost and many parents were circling back to pay the difference since their kid saw a kid with a cone - this means another wait in line to do so. For the Kids Dirt & Worm Sundae, my little one picked Thin Mint as her custard flavor, which was layered with crushed/ground cookies and organic gummy worms. For $4.50 it's a yummy indulgence to create memories with. For the Concrete ($9), I opted for the Brownie Sundae which is chocolate custard, house made brownie chunks and chocolate fudge sauce all blended together and topped with whip cream (optional). The flavor was well balanced and the brownie bits were so plentiful I left a few behind to discard. I really enjoyed! The flavors were not too sweet, delectable and tasted of fresh, quality ingredients. Inside, near the register, are options of toffee popcorn, cookies, fruit chews and caramel. There is a mini freezer housing pre packed pints and cookie ice cream sandwiches. The interior was well maintained and clean, it is also very quaint and intimate. It is hard to distinguish between who is waiting on an order and who hasn't ordered - be kind and ask. Service can be slow due to one cashier and one preparer/server, based on the size of the shop it is understandable and the wait was well worth it - not horribly long with 3 families ahead of us. Following a Freight & Salvage performance (directly next door), Lexie's can get packed quickly. The staff was very friendly with smiles and patience, thank yous and assistance with add on options to assist with orders. Apple Pay, cash and cards are accepted. The shop is accessible by BART from the Downtown Berkeley stop, by car with street and garage parking options or by foot if you are close by. Lexie's opens at 1PM Tue-Sat, closed Mondays, and closes between 9-11PM depending on the day. *For those with little ones or little bladders* ...there are public restrooms - traditional gender specific - to the left of the shop, open to the public (no key or code needed). The women's restroom was well maintained and clean but lacked toilet seat covers and some stalls have no toilet paper.

Lexie's has frozen custard that is very rich. It's basically like eating solid cream. It's not like ice cream. I had frozen custard a couple of times and this is a nice velvety version of it. We had the special of the day which was pistachio but I didn't really taste the pistachio. It's kind of a subtle flavor that was slightly unpleasant for me because it did not taste like pistachio. I think vanilla or chocolate will be the safer option here. They had a peach pie crumble with vanilla custard for $7. That looked very good. Sharing a double script was easy and only $7. Service was very friendly and courteous. Will definitely come back if I want more frozen custard.

Cute mini sundaes are perfect after a show at the Berkeley Rep (and/or Freight & Salvage)! One can get simple, one-flavor cup of frozen custard or make other creations like sundaes. My friend and I got the Speculoos & Peanut butter and Oreo sundae (mini size) each. I thought it was the perfect serving! P.S. they serve real cherries so don't refuse your cherry on top if you thought it was Maraschino like me.

If you're a fan of chocolate desserts, you must go to Lexie's Frozen Custard! My friend and I had to fulfill our chocolate cravings and ordered the regular brownie sundae. The brownies had a rich chocolate flavor, and it paired well with the creamy frozen custard. Portion was also generous-- regular size is definitely enough for two people to share. Overall a great shop to stop by for a solid sundae!

Great frozen custard and the sundae menu is fantastic . I loved the very berry - super fresh with fruit sauce and fresh strawberries. Customer service was friendly and sweet - street parking was easy on a Saturday. Great experience overall!

2010 Addison St Berkeley, CA 94701 This was my first time at Lexie's Frozen Custard shop in downtown Berkeley. It was around 9pm on a Tuesday, and I was flipping thru the Yelp app looking for a frozen dessert place that was still open. Wow, Lexie's is open until 10pm! This is a small shop with a neat storefront. It's right next to the Center St parking garage. I was immediately greeted as I walked in. I told them it was my first time there, and they offered me samples if I wanted to try a flavor. They offer scoops, sundaes, shakes, pies, cookies, and pre-packaged goods. Oh well, I played it safe and ordered two scoops of chocolate & vanilla for $7. I should of tried the strawberry and fruity sorbet. They told me all the custards are made onsite in fresh batches. How was it? It's like a creamy soft serve, but not as sweet. It has a somewhat unique silky texture. It's not icy cold like frozen yogurt. If you want a quality frozen dessert, with great customer service, try Lexie's Frozen Custard. BTW, this shop has only been here for about a year. So all the 1-3 star reviews from years ago, don't apply to this place. This is pretty much a grab and go place. There's a few tables outside. Support Local Business!

Very nice! Small store. Good frozen custard flavors. Quick service. I look forward to summer to eat there again!

First of all...YUM! Second of all...BANANANANA--the bananas lexie straight up got me feeling like a minion. So indulgent, fudgy, banana-ey, and creamy. Sorry Dairy Queen, whoever you are, but Lexie is about to steal your title. 100/10 recommend‼

Been there 3 x's and it just gets better. Great ice cream, amazing staff and clean and cute spot. I'll continue to come back.

Yummy taste good friendly service. Allow samples. The owner is so nice and loving and the staffs alw try their best :) lovely vibes

Delish. Never had this type of ice cream. Still taste like ice cream but also custard. Go figure. Haha. Tasty.

Headed to this place for a sweet treat after dinner. Delightfully surprised by how much flavor these mini scoops came with. I got the hazelnut custard and my bf got the vanilla with bacon bits maple syrup and waffle cones. I personally liked mine on its own, it came with the nuts and ribbons of Nutella! His was also tasty, a little sweeter for my taste but we were surprised by how tasty the bacon and waffle cone toppings were! Staff was super nice and offered us samples. The shop itself is tiny. You mainly go in and order then take your dessert to eat outside. I only wish the custard wouldn't melt so fast. Yet overall, it's a cute spot to stop for after a show or dinner nearby!

Little ice cream shop in downtown Berkeley that serves soft serve, sundaes, and other cold desserts. We got the speculoos and banana caramel sundaes, and a scoop of the Vietnamese Coffee. Ice cream was delicious and I could tell they make it fresh. The Viet Coffee had a good kick to it, as it should. Servers are nice and welcoming. Parking can be tricky as it is in downtown but there should be a parking garage close by. Or you'll have to park on the street. Overall, would come back here - it seems like they change up their flavors a bit so would like to try other seasonal flavors!

I really wanted to like this place, but I was disappointed in the frozen custard. It felt and tasted like regular ice cream, or maybe lower fat ice cream. I had not tried frozen custard before, so I was excited because I love dense, smooth ice cream and I love eggy custards. I tried the vanilla in order to get the pure taste and mouth-feel of the custard. It was not any smoother than ordinary ice cream and the flavor was bland -- no custard flavor and not a lot of vanilla. It definitely seemed lower fat than premium ice creams. Maybe that's intentional but it does not help the creamy texture. The price of $5 seemed like a lot for a small scoop, but I found out later from their website that it's organic, so that seems more reasonable. It's WONDERFUL that they use organic milk and cream, plus compostable bowls, and it's right next to The Freight & Salvage, so I might go again and get toppings on it. I will just go expecting regular old ice cream, which is always fun. Just not special. P.S. The Freight lets you bring food in to the theater, so you can enjoy it during the concert.

Amazing hidden gem that I can't wait to go back to. Not sure why it took me so long to check this place out but I'm so glad I did. The vanilla is perfection. Smooth and not too sweet. The daily flavor was banana pudding and it was just enough banana to not feel like you're drowning in it. The homemade waffle cone was just the right thickness and crunch. Yum!!

How do you spell "Enrapture"? "Lexie's Frozen Custard" of course, offering a wide array of heart-stopping pleasures and confections. Charm and charisma? Delivered with each serving! Pictured: Beguiling owner Alexis LeCount and arresting assistant Sadie Sprenkle.

Amazing frozen custard - I don't have a big sweet tooth, but I was a regular at Lexie's when I lived in the Berkeley area. Lexie herself is also the absolute sweetest lady. After moving away and not coming in for months, she still remembered me and warmly greeted me by my name. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to that sweet treat you've been craving. I can't recommend this place enough.

I'm officially obsessed! This custard shop is a hidden gem. You can taste the difference--everything is made with super fresh ingredients, and it shows in every bite. The custard is incredibly smooth and rich without being too heavy. The absolute best custard I've ever had!

Great tasting custard. Texture, no ice in the custard, multiple flavor options and a great combination of toppings was my experience. The shop is clean and served by two interesting personalities. Very pleasant experience. It's now my favorite place to go in Berkeley.

Felt like I got store brand ice cream, syrup and a week old brownie. Then put them together and sold it for $10. Below average! Please start with some good cutlery and fresh ingredients

Who am I kidding? I love this place. I go all the time -- more than I should -- and the sundaes are great. Give it a try!

Love love love their concretes/custards! I just found out this place last week and I'm already obsessed. So delicious without being overly sweet and the texture is perfect. Service is very good.

For frozen custard afficionados, this is top-rate. A college friend lived in St. Louis for a few years where she introduced me to the wonders of frozen custard and the many variations(sundaes,concrete etc.). Ever since, I have been hooked. I discovered Lexie's during intermission at a Freight show. I had lemon custard sundae special which also had their delicious berry sauce, whipped cream and good quality luxardo cherry on top. OMG. Another time I had their brownie sundae. Last night we stopped by and my husband ordered the vegan sorbet and added the berry sauce, coconut whipped creem, the cherry on top. The sorbet was a many berry concoction, but the special part was that there was lemon added which made it really special. I tried the chocolate chip ice cream sandwich which as good for a smaller dessert option. Every time I'm in Berkeley I have to find an excuse to visit Lexie's!

Amazing product, amazing service. Generous and kind business owner. The energy of the business will bring joy to your day and trying times. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this place! There's tons of flavors for frozen custards and rotations for sundae flavors. I've tried multiple sundaes so far but my favorite is the key lime pie sundae. I love all the handmade curds she uses in the fruit sundaes. They also sell pints. They're a little pricey at $11 but so good. I love the lemon blueberry yogurt and grab that in a pint when it's available . Lexie has been there every time I've come here and she is an absolutely gem! So friendly and you can tell, she takes a lot of pride in her business. It's a cute little shop right off Shattuck on Addison. Parking is a little tricky down in this area, so I usually double park right out front and run inside and am in and out quickly. Definitely one of my go to spots! Thanks, Lexie!

the menu here is super simple, but the limited options is nice for anyone indecisive! there is no seating, only a window to order on the outside. banana sundae - i love the caramel sauce a lot, because it tastes so homemade. i thought it'd be overly sweet, but it was perfect! it's also a great portion for the price. this place is never too busy, but it's pretty good!! so underrated

We've been looking for a local frozen custard shop and now we found one. Our son Jeff recommended Lexie's and she was so friendly and her custard is yummy! We ordered one of her key lime pies for Christmas! We will be visiting often!

How much do I love Lexie's? As much as a man can like a frozen custard place! Sure you can go to Wisconsin and find frozen custard in every other town. But here in Bay Area, Lexie's is the only place I know that serves the authentic stuff, with a rich creamy texture and good deep flavor. And one in a while you'll find a pretty great sorbet like the cherry pomegranate sorbet my wife ordered tonight. And there are often fresh baked goods like chocolate chip cookies or brownies or good stuff like that. Lexie herself is almost always there and they stay open to 11 to get the Freight and Salvage and Berkeley Rep patrons on their way home. So make the stop, you won't regret it.

First time here and obsessed! We were able to sample the custards prior to purchase. The very berry was creamy and balanced. We also tried the almond toffee sundae which was also really great! There was a small table outside but no other seating so it's more of a grab and go establishment. Will definitely be returning to try more flavors or go back for the same ones!

Frozen custard is lovely, I'm quite fond of the daily flavors and their constant and consistent variety. The owner is very kind and friendly, and so are the staff. Also, their cookies and popcorn are delicious as well!

So... Hubby and I went to a closed Broadway play that is currently not on Broadway in NYC, but playing right here at Peet's Theatre in Berkeley across the street from Lexie's. After the 8PM week night play, of course, we wanted a sweet treat before going home, and they were STILL opened -and there was a crowd. I ordered the chocolate-vanilla banana caramel custard AND a package of 6 deliciously crispy walnut sandwich cookies -for us to share- and we were in heaven. As cold as it was outside last night, we sat outside at a little table for two, shivering and happily ate everything! Lexie's is a wonderful little shop with sweet treats and great Staff!!! Everyone was so nice and truly appreciated our business!!! Thank YOU so MUCH!

I've tried some custard all over the country and this has to be one of the best! I got the s'mores sundae and it was delicious. My friend got the creamsicle shake and really enjoyed it too. Service was immaculate and the overall vibe of the place was nice and welcoming. Can't wait to come back and I've recommended this place to all my friends!

Wonderful, unusual flavors. Rich and creamy! Also able to test the flavors. The owner was there and let me mix 2 flavors to balance the sweet and tart.

Friendly, upbeat, Lexie's always smiling. Delicious frozen custard. Love to bring soemthing from Lexie's to a friend's. Its always a great contribution to a dinner party. i love serving it to my own guests. Makes dinner a special occasion. Lots of unique flavors which change every two days. Delicious after theater - the Freight or Berkeley Rep or the Aurora. Treat yourself!

I have been back 2 times and it hasn't even been two weeks since first came on a Wednesday for an Olli class at F & S. Alexa's custard is unequaled! I am not a desert person but a cone and scoop are stellar and worth driving across town for. She makes the delicious mandatory cones from her own recipe. The flavors change. All are wonderful!

Just tasted like ice cream that they whipped. I was expecting something a little for custardy flavor.

Absolutely fantastic frozen custard. Lexie creates delicious unique flavors, a new one every couple of days, along with a special flavor sorbet for the dairy free folk and good old vanilla and chocolate for those who love the basics.

This is my favorite custard place in all of the Bay Area. I'm serious. It's so delicious, they make all custard and almost all toppings (like brownies!) in house. And prices are so affordable. The owner and staff are always so friendly. And love that everything is compostable. Even cups and spoons. I noticed their pay screen doesn't even have a tip option. I really hope they're around for a long time and make enough margin to thrive.

So happy to see Lexie's new storefront! Love the shop and its location - next to a downtown parking lot for easy access! Homemade chocolate chip cookies and apple cider caramels too. In addition to the vanilla and chocolate, flavors are creative - like fig, pumpkin, waffle cone caramel! At this visit, had the banana sundae (loved the natural cherry on top!) and another in our party had the apple crisp special. So delicious! The chocolate cherry pie in the freezer caught my eye too. Service was excellent. Plan to return.

Cannot recommend this place enough! Visited today for the first time and the customer service was amazing, tons of selection for sundaes/toppings and everything was very reasonably priced. On top of that the quality of ingredients is incredible and I love that they use natural maraschino cherries that don't taste like chemicals, as well as organic gummy worms and other toppings. Definitely going to come back and support so they don't close like so many other Berkeley small businesses! My favorite was the key lime custard pie slice which was only $5 and to die for.

Love this spot! The vanilla custard is so good and I really enjoy the flavor combinations. The staff is also fantastic! Always helpful, warm and friendly.
