Good place to go if you are touring Lexington. They have the standard flavors and a lot of funky adult type flavors. Sundae's are excellent as are frappe's

Rancatore's is the only ice cream place in Lexington Center. The ice cream is delis, but the serving sizes are small. Prices are expensive too.

A great ice cream shop, with innovative flavors, old favorites, and great quality. We'd go more often if it weren't so many yummy calories!

Nice atmosphere and tasty treats. They offer many unique flavors of ice cream and frozen yoghurt. They have all the mainstays too. I had a ginger snap molasses cone that definitely pleased my palate. My wife chose the chocolate mousse frozen yogurt and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and offer samples to help you decide on your flavor... More

No coloring - that's good. No taste - not good. Some people like the yogurt, but I don't like yogurt anyway so didn't try it.

The ice cream is as good as ever, but the eating area is looking very shabby and neglected (unpatched holes in wall, cracked formica, broken chairs, unswept and not recently mopped floors, etc.)

This ice cream shop is a wonderful asset to the Town. Staffed by local kids, and owned by a resident of Lexington, this is the ultimate small town business. The ice cream is amazing, the flavors change daily, and a micro sized portion is plenty!

Delicious ice cream and frozen yogurt -- and both regular and unusual flavors (the Khulfi yogurt is especially yummy). The micro is the perfect size for a nice afternoon treat that won't spoil your dinner.
