Lumpy's Ice Cream

I wish I could do more stars!! I had Lumpy's many years ago and was the best homemade ice cream I ever had. Still today they continue to hold the title. Staff is really nice! There was a car in the handicap and I have a disability that affects my walking. The owner(I kind of remember that mustache) came and helped me in. Store nice and clean. Store all alone with plenty of parking. Very visible . Make sure you go or book it. You won't regret it!!

Service was amazing! Ice cream toppings were delightful. Ice cream had a nice texture, but I couldn't taste the buttery sweetness of the butterscotch flavor, even when tasted without the toppings. .5 stars for the ice cream for the service

I can't believe I've never been to Lumpy's! I've had their ice cream at events around town but here they are, only a few miles from other businesses I frequent. I love ice cream and there are definitely many choices at the grocery store, but there is something special about going to an ice cream shop. Does it enhance the flavor? Maybe not, but smell has been known to (science) and Lumpy's smells of waffle cones and vanilla deliciousness.I've gotten away from visiting local and this Lumpy's visit was part of my efforts to improve. On this Sunday around 2pm it was pretty empty which allowed me to feel comfortable asking to sample a couple flavors before committing (which is welcomed anyway). I sampled Anna's Anise, which was so unique and refreshing but I couldn't see eating a cup of it. My husband sampled Montezumas Revenge, a very spicy chocolate. The nice young man serving us did ask him first if he's ok with spice - he was warned. Even my husband who will dump an entire spice tray on his Thai food said it was legitimately spicy! So again, a very intriguing flavor but not up to an entire cup of it. I ended up with hazelnut coffee which was fantastic and he got Apple Pie, also very tasty. The creamy, icy balance stayed perfect throughout. There were so many choices, and from what I understand, they use local, natural ingredients. I will be back to try more of the regular offerings along with seasonal flavors. The inside of the shop is simple, not trendy or themed, just lots of nods to the Lumpy's brand and the Wake Forest area. You can feel the love here. There is a small parking lot and it's also walkable from White Street.

I think the one star reviewers of this ice cream parlor, have broken taste buds. This is the most flavorful ice cream I have ever had! You get to sample them before you buy, also. We sampled multiple flavors and they all had wonderful tastes! Rocky road with my go to. I added hot fudge on top to add extra chocolate! Highly recommend, while enjoying downtown Wake Forest. We have lived here for over two years, this was our first time, and we will be back. 100%!! Also the staff is suuuper friendly! They laugh and joke around with you and enough serving you!

We went here one afternoon after leaving the park with a friend. We loved it! Everyone Inside is friendly. We got two kiddie cups and a single scoop ice cream cone. I love the outside area to eat. We got the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Everything g is homemade. They have taste testing available too! My friend got the maple bacon one and she loved hers! Definitely try this place out if you're wanting some ice cream in downtown!!

Delicious flavors, great service a true WF gem. With their flavors constantly rotating, you're always in for a new & tasty treat.

The ice cream is home made and the flavors are the standard BUT they also offer a few special flavors that vary. I had the cantaloupe ice cream and wish I had bought a gallon of it.

The owner and workers are very customer service oriented. Everyone was personable and quick to give samples. The store has about a dozen flavors at a time. I thought the small scoop in a cup (pictured) was more like a kids size scoop, but the quality of the ice cream was good. My niece who got a kids scoop in a cone ended up with more ice cream volume. The building could use overall upgrading, but I did really enjoy the picnic table area outside.

Food was delicious for local ice cream! They had a pretty big selection and pre made containers to take home. We will definitely be going back!
