Why should you trust my glowing review of Alec’s Ice Cream? Because I expected to hate it! Lavender? Say whaaat?! Sure, I’m into lavender; when it’s mixed with epsom salt in my bath tub. I am also old enough to remember the opening of Baskin-Robbins in Cedarhurst, LI. Rocky Road stole my heart! So … reluctantly, I tasted Alec’s Honey Blueberry Lavender. OMG! My heart has now officially cheated on Rocky Road! There is a major competitor whose name I will not mention (it rhymes with Pennies.) Here are side by side photos of the competitor’s Wildberry Lavender and a pint of Alec’s Lavender WINNER! One looks like a purple smoothie, while Alec’s has ribbons of honey and generous chunks of delicious blueberries that haven’t been smushed! To be continued, y’all!
No kidding, I read about this company in the WSJ, and thought, ehh, I’ll give it a try. I bought a sampler pack, and it really is some pretty darn good ice cream. I find the salted caramel latte, and the blueberry lavender to be my favorite two. My gf likes the double chocolate chip and mint chocolate chip the best. It’s more expensive than regular ice cream, but I find it to be worth the cost. I wish it was in a store near me, so I didn’t have to order it and wait for it. It ships pretty well also, did not melt, and I am about to place my first repeat order!
Well, I had an incident where I placed an order for Ice Cream and it wasn't shipped out after a week due to an internal error in their system. So I then sent an e-mail explaining my situation. Alec kept in close contact with me after that and quickly got my order shipped. Great customer service, and their Lavender Ice Cream is unbelievably good. I was impressed
I have ordered numerous times for myself and for friends and consistently Alec’s is the best ice cream experience anyone has ever had!
If you're on the fence about trying this, just buy it! Guys, this stuff is AMAZING! Holy Cow!! It takes a LOT for me to write a review, and here I am at almost midnight devouring in some amazing Tahitian Vanilla as I write this . My only regret is not trying this brand sooner oh and super regret sharing with my husband lol. Thank you Alec's for making high quality ice cream with simple ingredients!! Our family will never buy another brand!
This stuff is sooooo good and the ingredients keep it simple. Thank you for finally making some ice cream that’s GREAT and harmless.
For a special treat I picked up a pint of Mint Chip and a odd flavor: Honey Lavander Blueberry. I didn't think I would like the lavender one because I usulay think lavander taste like soap. Well Alac sure changed my mind on this flavor. After eating half the pint in one sitting I can say it's now one of my favorite desserts ever. Great job Alac! Both my kids loved the lavander ice cream too, I'm going to have to make it a regular purchase.
This is by far the creamiest most delicious ice cream we have ever had! We have been fortunate to try the Caramel and the Vanilla and both are superb!
