Alexander's On the Square

Alexander's is a charming 1950s-style ice cream shop/soda fountain located in the heart of downtown Noblesville. While I just came for dessert, I noticed that Alexander's also has a lunch and dinner menu with an extensive array of sandwiches, salads, soups, and burgers. With 36 flavors of ice cream to choose from, I had a hard time making a decision! I ultimately decided on the Buckeye Classic, which was vanilla/chocolate swirled ice cream with brownie bites and peanut butter cups. It was the perfect ice cream for someone who loves Reese's cups! I ordered a single dip, which was way more ice cream than I expected for just $3.50 (not that I'm complaining!) My homemade waffle cone was delicious and added an old-fashioned feel to the dessert. Alexander's has a soda fountain that would rival one at the 1950s sock hop, with several flavoring syrups and floats. My friend ordered a Vanilla Coke, which we can never seem to find at any other restaurant in this area. Alexander's also has Starbucks-esque coffee drinks, like pink drinks and green tea refreshers. I would love to come back and try one!Alexander's is like a Time Machine to a simpler era, and I'm starting to feel nostalgic just writing this review! Remember to support local businesses in Noblesville!

Chance visit on a Friday evening cause my favorite ice cream spot was closed. I was wary I would get the standard few flavors but one step in and the variety more than what I imagined. I ordered butter pecan cashew and salted caramel on a waffle cone and both the flavors were fresh, tasty and generous sizing. Just as always, I fell in love with my husband's flavor - orange pineapple. It was a beauty of summer with such summer like flavors I instantly wanted that too!Service was top notch. I felt like I was the only customer in Alexander's. The ambience reminds me of old movies with the old soda shop vibes. The place is located in Noblesville downtown and step out you get such a good view of all the historic buildings!

Great little ice cream shop. The service is quick with several ice cream flavors to choose from. They were open on Labor Day which was great! Seem all other stores and restaurants on the square were closed. So we were very thankful they stayed open.

Where should I start? Dessert first! How do you choose from all this ice cream, I get something different each time. Hubby gets chocolate chip cookie dough every time (mix it up Bill? ) We also get dinner there, lots to choose from.

This place has the feel of an old soda shop: located in a historic building on the town square across from the courthouse. They offer a good selection of quality ice cream.

This is a fun, retro "soda shop". They have a nice selection of sandwiches plus an amazing ice cream counter. Good place for a nice lunch and rest from shopping downtown.

Best place to get ice cream! Always stop when in town. I always get cinnamon unfortunately they didn't have it today. But I got lemon blueberry... not bad.

We've been to Alexander's before and there's no denying their ice cream is the reason to go. They use Velvet brand and have 36 flavors & they rotate some seasonally. Tonight we decided to try the food. They have a lot of options & we narrowed our choices down to the Nachos Supreme, Kids hot dog meal, and 2 jumbo tenderloins with fries. After ordering, we were told the fryer went down so we couldn't do anything fried, so we changed the order to include a spinach salad and cheeseburger instead of the tenderloins. They weren't very busy when we went in, but got busy fast. Alexander's is a popular spot on the square and frequently has a long line for ice cream which is what happened tonight as well for most of the time we were there.The food took a while and when it came out, everything looked good but I have to say it was just ok. The nachos were heavy on tortilla chip but low on toppings and the sour cream was missing. Our kid loved the hot dog. He did like having cottage cheese as his side because he loves it. The burger was bland and extremely greasy - the bun disintegrated while trying to eat it. The spinach salad was low on spinach, but very heavy on toppings. We had to ask for dressing as none was on the salad or brought out with it. The one really good item we did have was the potato salad. It was great & we enjoyed it. After we ate, if we wanted ice cream (which we did) we couldn't order from the table - we had to wait in the LONG line to place our ice cream order. So we saddled up to the line to get our ice cream. The service from our waitress was great & she was super nice, but the delivery is pretty slow. Not her fault, that's just the way they are set up. Ice cream & treats are their specialty, not the food. Personal recommendation is to skip the food & just go for ice cream. Our bill was about $75 after food, ice cream & tip. Not bad for a good dinner, but not good for mediocre food. I'm not sure if we had got the tenderloins if our dining experience would have been better, but alas tonight was just ok.

Old Fashion Soda Fountain vibe with full menu and of course fabulous hand dipped ice cream! A Noblesville ICON!

When I walked in, I was immediately greeted by the kid behind the counter. When I walked up to the counter, the kid was extremely polite and kind, and even pointed out some of his personal favorites to me. the ice cream was an absolute 10 out of 10 for me. it reminded me of an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. Definitely some of the best custom service I've had in a while!
