The long-time KCMO ice cream shoppe superstar now finds itself in the 'burbs with its location in Olathe. And you can be sure that this spot will allow you to find the same phenomenal flavor profiles and delectable scoops on waffle cones that have thrilled the River Market and Waldo areas for nearly a decade.You can get ice cream almost anywhere: soft-serve, or drive-thru spots that add lots of mix-in options, but real *artisanal* ice cream requires seeking a destination. Betty Rae's Olathe location is tucked into strip building with just enough space to order and enjoy. There are anchors on their flavor menu (hello, Cereal Milk) and there will always be seasonal options always rotating (if that Chantilly Cake ever comes back...) with some easy options in-between. There are even vegan/non-dairy options should you need to find a taste for any palate or profile.Not sure what you want? Samples are always a good choice so you can really see what you like. Get a cup or get a cone, or have one of their friendly staff mix up your choice in shake or sundae format. And if you do find something that you can't stop eating, you can either get a hand-packed pint to go or just select one pre-scooped from their freezer. Almost everyone loves ice cream and sometimes a good scoop will evoke memories of youth or make new ones. This is a spot where you can satisfy a sweet tooth or maybe just share some quality family time. Betty Rae's has built a rep by taking ice cream to a different level, and this location is an extension of that.

Best ice cream shop in Kansas City! I went to the one in Olathe. Inside of the place is cute. They give you a sample to try to see if you like the flavor. I had cookie dough, and cookies & cream, and it was delicious! Service was awesome! Not only you can get an ice cream and hangout there, they have pints for you to take home! Looking forward to coming back here soon!

This place was located conveniently across from our hotel so I decided to stop by and treat my family to some ice cream. Let me tell you I am so glad we stopped by. The ice cream here is by far the best I have ever had. For starters the girls who work there are extremely friendly and offer to get you to try the flavors before choosing one you like. I picked a big scoop of Ooey Gooey Butter Cake in their homemade waffle cone and it was amazing! The place itself is nice and colorful with beautiful accent walls. They have tables and chairs, so you can enjoy your ice cream there, and if you have little ones they have crayons and coloring pages for them to be entertained. I was really impressed by this place and most definitely recommend.

Coldstone - WATCH OUT. Betty Rae's is locally owned and operated and they know their flavors! I have NEVER had ice cream like their goat cheese, apricot and walnut (phenomenal) or their mint chocolate chip that really tasted like clean, fresh mint. Their coffee and crème brûlée topped the charts. The peanut butter and the matcha came in next for me since we tried the flight.We intended to try the flavors and save some for enjoying later at home... fat chance! There was no way we were leaving that store with ice cream left over. LOLThey also have pints to go!Live life, my friends, and enjoy some ice cream!

I went on a chilly late Saturday afternoon, & fortunately for me, got in just before people started making their way in! (Maybe there was a soccer game since the sport complex is nearby and there were many kids)?Anyway, I digress.I tried three flavors: Thou Mayest Coffee, Lavender & Honey, and Crème Brûlée--i liked them all, but couldn't see myself eating too much of the Lavender and Honey one before I'd get sick of it. Don't let that fool you, though, it is surprisingly tasty!They have different sizes which I'm guessing are pretty standard for an ice cream shop, and they do offer a non-dairy/vegan option. Sadly, I didn't notice a gluten-free cone, but you could get in a non-edible plastic cup.Not too much seating, but that's okay, I wasn't planning on staying anyway. The young people who served me seemed nice and helpful. Not too busy when I got in, as mentioned, until I was pondering what to have, then it got busy.I can see this becoming a place I'd visit again.

Food: we got the $15 The Revolver flight. Our flavors chosen were: Vanilla bean, Honey Lavender, Thou Mayest Coffee, Creme Brûlée, Matcha, and Chamomile. Some thoughts on these flavors:Vanilla bean- BASICHoney Lavender- strong flowery flavor (said to remind of an air freshener)Thou Mayest Coffee- for the coffee loversCreme Brûlée- very sweet and caramel flavoredMatcha- strong matcha flavor and not as sweetChamomile- our FAVORITE. We liked the light hint of chamomileService: the workers seemed very tired of scooping ice cream and were giving smaller and smaller scoops. Ambiance: no music, no vibes. For a grand opening, it was missing some key elements to wow the crowd. They did have some awesome promotions that day! But other than that, on a normal Sunday night there was a line out the door. We waited about 10 mins for our ice cream.

Someday I need to check out some of the other local ice cream shops, but for now Betty Rae's is #1! Stopped by the Olathe location for the first time today because it was on my way home. I got lavender honey (one of my favs) with matcha. The matcha is good! The people working were friendly, but not overly. The store was clean & cute like their other locations.

No other ice cream even compares to Betty's, not within any of the places I have been in the US. The flavor, the creaminess, the staff....just out of this world! We enjoy the peanut butter, matcha, brown butter toasted pecan, honey lavender and the special at Easter with Andrés almonds. To die for! We always bring our family from out of town (to the original location before this one opened) and everyone says it's dreamy ice cream. They are good at letting you know ingredients for food allergies ( such as gluten free which is me!), they even offer dairy free options so everyone can partake. They make their own waffle cones, they smell divine but obviously I can not partake, they do offer GF sugar cones. Make this a stop, any of the locations, take home a few pints-you will not be disappointed.

My review of the first Betty Rae's location started off with a rant. Credit to the lovely folks at BR's for solving item #3 on that rant:"I'm mad that Betty Rae's is across town from my house!"--Now, I have a location about 6 minutes away! Wooooo!To be honest, I'm a little scared of how often I'm going to find myself at this palace of INCREDIBLE, creamy, true-to-flavor ice cream! It might just be TOO CLOSE!! haha... This new outpost is tucked into a small strip center, just south of K-10 on Ridgeview. Super easy to get to!My first venture was on a Friday night, and let's just say that the word is already out - the place was jammed! Hungry ice-creamers filed down the counter, through the dining room and out the door...a good 20-deep. But, alas, isn't that a sign of something incredible? They were a bit understaffed for the rush we encountered, but the folks working at the time were doing an outstanding job of helping all us sweet-tooths as expediently as possible. They answered at least half-a-dozen questions from my two kiddos about "what-is-in-such-and-such-flavor", hooked us up and checked us out ASAP.Also, the dining room is of the size that feels very squished, very quickly. I'm sure that 98% of the week, it's perfectly fine...but, for Friday and Saturday (and super warm summer) nights, it's gonna be pretty tight.Niggles aside, the ice cream is (still!) on point. For the uninitiated, I believe that Betty Rae's hits the nail on the head better than any other cold-treat purveyor with their flavors. You want Peanut Butter? You get peanut butter. You want chocolate? You get true-to-form chocolate. I've never encountered another place that gets the flavors SO CLOSE to the real thing....but cold and sweet, of course! Still one of my faves, and now dangerously close to my part of town! Food = 6/5Facility = 3/5Service = 4/5Ambiance = 2/5Value = 3/5
