Homemade Ice Cream & Pie Kitchen

While visiting Louisville recently I decided to have some dessert delivered to my room. Being unable to choose just one thing, I decided to try several, which I finished off over the course of my four day stay. First, the Banana 4 Layer was fantastic. I rarely even try restaurant banana pudding, but decided to give this a shot. It was very good. I'd love some more right now, actually. Also, the serving was huge. The Chocolate Chess Old Fashioned Shelf Stable Pie was also very good. Unfortunately the Pecan Chocolate Chip Old Fashioned Shelf Stable Pie wasn't quite as good. This is primarily just personal preference, though, so I don't count it against them. it had more filling than I prefer. I like for the chocolate to mix with the filling more. Last, I had a chocolate cupcake, and was disappointed with it. It's possible the issue was freshness. The cake was a bit dry, and the frosting had a bit of a crust to it. Definitely my least favorite of the items I tried. I'll be ordering again in the future.

It’s always a pleasure tasting some fresh pie. So many places just order pies in from a factory but I’m almost certain these are made by hand in small batches. If that’s not the case then you could’ve fooled me. The crust was immaculate and the filling tasted bright and not overly sweet. We got the seasonal peach pie and couldn’t have been more impressed. I got a scoop of crème brûlée ice cream which was a mistake because it didn’t taste anything like crème brûlée and plain vanilla ice cream would’ve better accompanied the pie. My girlfriend got the mocha chip and she loved it. The only thing we didn’t like about this place was the incessant sounds of dancing from the studio overhead. I don’t know how the workers can tolerate hearing hours of that every day. More power to them. Overall would recommend.

As part of my five days in Kentucky, part of my goal was to try some famous local foods. Hi on all the lists was the derby pie. However, I saw many places recommend that you go for a knock off rather than getting a frozen original. One of the best places recommend it was this place for its pecan chocolate chip pie. I believe that was the name, it might have been slightly different. If you go in and ask for the derby pie knock off they will certainly know which one you’re talking about. This was by far one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Imagine a warm chocolate chip cookie inserted inside of a super fresh pecan pie. A couple scoops of vanilla ice cream on the side and you have yourself one heavenly dessert. This thing was absolutely amazing and I cannot say better things about this dessert. A must try while you are in Kentucky!

Love love love this place!! Quaint little place with homemade pies, ice cream, cookies and cakes and even coffee. Very friendly staff as well! Their chocolate chip and praline ice creams are very yummy!! The chocolate chip cookies are pretty good too. I took home a piece of the mixed berry pie, wish I had taken home the whole pie!! Talk about delicious!! Will definitely visit again when in the area!

The name is long and not that catchy. Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen. The floors are scuffed but the booth seats still shine, And the wrought iron chairs are surely the originals. Not many places these days have bells that tingle when you come in the door Its a place you want to walk into with both your grandpa and your daughter. The marvel of ice cream is certainly timeless And as old as the building was, the tables were clean and the pies were fresh. I just have to say, they don't have places like this in Scottsdale. You can take the girl out of Kentucky, but there will always be some Kentucky in this girl. I hope I never am too far removed from brick building and hand-written signs and fresh-baked pie and jukeboxes. And I really, really hope this place stays in business when I have grandkids of my own.

I suggest you get there right now!! Oh my Lord this caramel dutch apple pie was the best thing I've ever eat! I lucked out and it was on a $2 slice oops shelf. The only oops for me was it was the only piece. The Buckeye's were amazing and my son's ice cream cone was considered one scoop but wow that was a HUGE scoop!! Check then out if you're in the area
