"Nothing caps off a day in downtown Lawrence like a visit to Sylas and Maddy’s, a hometown ice cream shop since 1997. Flavors like Rock Choc Jayhawk (sweet cream ice cream with brownies and fudge) and Mahomes Magic (butter pecan, chocolate flakes, coconut, and graham crackers) infuse the sweet treat with a bit of KU pride. In addition to crafting original ice cream flavors, Sylas and Maddy’s makes fresh waffle cones from scratch daily." - Erin Socha
The smell is a little strange when you walk in but don’t let that deter you. The ice cream is delicious with some unique flavor combinations. There are a couple dairy free options (an orange sorbet and a raspberry sorbet) and a wide range of toppings. The staff was really friendly and they allow samples. You can’t see the descriptions of the flavors until you get to the counter, so my only suggestion would be to have a menu with the descriptions available. It might make the line move faster!
Original flavors that were super fun and tasty! It is a really cute location with great and friendly service.

Sylas and Maddy's is a Lawrence Legend. The ice cream selection is phenomenal and the quality is amazing. They also have great hours for an after-dinner treat. They used to have a student discount. Maybe someone from the store can comment on current discounts in response to this review.

If you're looking for fresh ice cream with tons of new fun flavors and your favorite classics, look no further. Try a melt in your mouth waffle cone as well. Best ice cream, hands down.

Best ice-cream shop in Lawrence. Always busy and super charming. They make their own waffle cones, huge selection of flavors the “classics” that are kept year round and other seasonal ones. Free samples to help you find the flavor you’re wanting.
