The Sweet Shoppe

Great family owned ice cream shoppe has that hometown atmosphere. Come sit in the giant chair, take lots of pictures and eat some great ice cream and treats. Definitely that slow down and enjoy the day kind of place you will want to share with your family.

In business over 20 years.Found this on the town square and they have so much fudge. They even ship their fudge, we got enough to hold me for a bit.Serve up Blue Bell Texas icecream and Velvet icecream. Cookies, cream deserts and a variety of apples. Loved this place. SCRUMPTIOUS DELICIOUSNESS!

Cute little shop, we stopped in on the way to E-town for something sweet and they did not disappoint. We got. Cake, ice cream and fudge. They were all delicious!

Consistent year after year winner of best sweet shop in Kentucky and it's located right here in little ole Hodgenville. They have so many varieties of homemade fudge that I could not even begin to list them all here. Literally an entire counter full, plus other homemade candies. They also have fresh baked goods, cakes, pies, cookies, etc. They have many varieties of ice cream and can make milkshakes, malts, sundaes, banana splits, literally any kind of ice cream dessert you want. They have several varieties of cones if you just want an old fashioned ice cream cone. During the height of the pandemic, once a week they would have a hot take away dinner from their food truck take away location. They constantly strive to give back to their community. Everything here is excellent and you can't go wrong no matter what you decide to try. It is definitely worth the trip to Hodgenville if you don't catch them at one of the many venues they attend each year, including having a presence at the Kentucky State Fair.

Making a stop at The Sweet Shoppe booth is one of the highlights for me and my son when visiting the Ky State Fair. It's become an annual tradition to get a caramel apple with peanuts. (Yes, even over a corn dog!) We compare every caramel apple to the one we get from The Sweet Shoppe. The green apple is huge and always fresh. Plus, the caramel is so thick and delicious. We appreciate they offer to slice and box it for us, which is much easier to eat than on the stick. Of course the shop is known for their fudge and just like their apples, it's unique to any we've tried before. Along with traditional flavors they offer more sweet varieties. I hope to make it to their shop one day! Or at least learn how to get their apples more often.

What a great ice cream place! Our first time here and I'm hoping to swing again next time we are in hodgenville, KY! Right in the middle of the roundabout of town! Excellent location! Plenty of options and other sweet treats to try! Only one person working the whole place! Very clean and decorated with pumpkins and mums! A very cute fall feel. Two giant wooden chairs so you can take a fun picture in them! The girl who was working there was very friendly and patient with us because we had a hard time deciding on what to order. My husband decided on a pistachio on a waffle cone --I'm not a pistachio person and once I tried it , I wanted to switch with my husband...that good! Simply delicious!!! The girl told us that this flavor was not a favorite...so I guess people have not tried it yet!? People... try this flavor -it's delicious!!! I had a waffle bowl with a scoop of coconut, banana pie and a peanut peanut something I can't remember the name-sorry. But I'm still thinking of the pistachio and how much I loved it! Will recommend this yummy place!

We went down to have Laha's burgers and noticed the shoppe was open! We both commented it looks like a beach fudge shoppe. Inside is also kinda beach/country store... the selection of fudge and ice cream was nice and several other treats. We bought five flavors and here we are 5 days later looking at when we can go back because the fudge is that good! And it did not last long with teens in the house!

A friend and I stopped here after a few hours of exploring the nearby Abraham Lincoln birthplace. While there was a bit of a line, the 3 employees working weren't the friendliest. They were all a bit short in helping not only us but the other customers as well. I got a blue moon shake and my friend got a scoop of ice cream. The treat was nice after a long morning of hiking but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. Service is just as important as the quality of product in my mind and I was extremely disappointed in the service we received.

Fudge like it's supposed to be!!! Not that hard chunk stuff most people sell. This is perfectly textured, powerfully flavored fudge better than Mom used to make! Other treats looked wonderful!

They definitely need more employees and a consistent schedule, I never know if they're open and when they are it's usually only one employee and several customers it takes forever to get one item. The most recent time I went there was one employee and 4 customers and the employee was sweating into the Icecream and it took 30 minutes for 2 milkshakes once we received the milkshakes the lids were not all the way on due to employee being in a rush and I spilled milkshake all over me, love the place just could use some help
