Alec’s Ice Cream earns strong reviews as a rich, ultra‑creamy, A2‑milk ice cream that many find easier on the stomach and packed with distinctive flavors like Honey Blueberry Lavender, Matcha Chocolate Chip, and Peanut Butter Fudge Honeycomb. Reviews also flag drawbacks: select flavors skew too floral or sweet, occasional texture issues (flaky peanut butter, hard straight from freezer), and inconsistent mix‑ins, alongside critiques of nutrition additives and taste misfires like Strawberry Crumble for some.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Tried the vanilla flavor and it's so good!
I'd give alec's 4.5/5. I'm sensitive to dairy so the gut friendly A2 milk is a game changer. I do wish they had more texture in their ice cream. The Strawberry Crumble for example, has the taste of oats without the enough crumble bits IMO.
Incredibly yummy ice cream. I don't have any issue digesting dairy - but, my husband sure does. He loved the taste of Alec's and it did not give him the usual bubble guts most ice cream does. AND, it tastes like really good ice cream and not some weird approximation of ice cream. Definitely something I will be buying again.

So tasty I tried so many of the flavors. I really liked the Matcha Chocolate Chip because it was on the less sweet side, but all were good and interesting and no stomach issues after.

Lavender honey was a dream
The absolute best ice cream I have had. This will be an absolute staple in my house now. I have always adored the Trader Joe’s mint chip ice cream but have always found it on the sweeter side and doesn’t sit too well in my stomach. Alec’s ice cream uses less sugar and uses A2 milk, making it easier on the stomach. They also are regenerative, which is awesome and great to support! The mint chip flavor was to die for and I highly recommend that you try it out!! Update!!: Their Honey Blueberry Lavender as well as the Peanut Butter Fudge Honeycomb are absolutely delicious!! Check it out at Whole Foods, Sprouts, and more!

Super fun ice cream flavors. They use the A2 milk to help with digestion, which helps! Peanut butter with fudge and honeycomb is amazing! The quality is excellent with a good price.

I love this ice cream! They have very unique flavors, and the texture is so smooth and creamy. The mix-ins are the perfect amount. I have tried most of the flavors and my favorite was the matcha and blueberry lavender. The maple cardamom candied pecan was personally not for me, and I found the cardamom flavor a little too strong, but I still ate the whole thing

I had the peanut butter toffee fudge which is AMAZING. So creamy and delicious. Also got the Matcha with chocolate chips, very mild flavor but was nice to not be too overpowering. Also l love that it is made with gut-friendly dairy as that is a major drawback for eating ice cream for me. Only downside is the price but you're paying for quality. Definitely would only be a special treat!

Love love that they’re doing A2 organic milk ice cream. It’s quite delicious and the coffee and peanut butter flavors are my favorite. I feel like it maybe doesn’t need to be as sweet as it is. People who are choosing to drink A2 milk are probably more health conscious so thinking about how the other ingredients on the label affect the body might be wise. That said, it’s one of my top ice cream choices these days. Would be curious if a goat or sheep’s milk A2 would be as delicious? (And equally low inflammatory / regenerative etc)
Alec's Ice Cream is really really good. I've been a Jeni's ride or die for years now and Alec's blueberry honey lavender flavor had me questioning my allegiances.
Feedback
The brand positions itself on being regenerative organic and using A2 dairy (dairy made by cows with a special gene that makes their milk give less tummy aches??). I think that's very nice, but I'm used to these kinds of claims compensating for the flavor being worse. The flavor is better though! Alec's is an S-tier ice cream. It kind of seems like they're doing so many things well that it might draw attention from the most important thing: that the ice cream absolutely slaps.

Alec's ice cream is a premium brand with many flavors available at my local Whole Food stores. The ice cream tastes great on its own, so I would buy it even if it does not have the additional sustainability claims. The price point is quite high, so it is a special occasion treat for me.
The blueberry lavender one is the best ice cream I have ever had in my life. The lavender flavor is very prominent, so if you don’t like floral flavors it probably isn’t for you but I loved it. The other flavors I have tried are also great. It is so expensive though.
I can't say enough good things about Alec’s Ice Cream! Every flavor I've tried is unbelievably creamy, rich, and packed with real, natural ingredients. You can truly taste the difference — it's fresh, clean, and never overly sweet. Their commitment to regenerative farming practices makes enjoying a pint feel even better. Personal favorites: Honey Blueberry Lavender and Tahitian Vanilla Bean. Highly recommend for any ice cream lover looking for something a little more special!

I love Alec’s ice cream. They have a great selection of unique flavors that other brands don’t even sell. I have tried the matcha chocolate chip and fell in love quality creamy tasty ice cream. The packaging is cute too. The honey blueberry lavender is flavorful too but too sweet for my liking. I am looking forward to try the other flavors. These are pricey for a small pint of ice cream but it’s best to stock up when they are on sale.

Alec's ice cream is very creamy and has a smooth texture. It's a pretty guilt-free treat. I wasn't sure how the flavor profile would show up, but it was just the right balance of sweetness, not overly so. I would recommend this product for the sweet tooth in you.

I've been wanting to try these and saw that they were on sale. I got the honey blueberry lavender flavor and love the mix of floral and fruit flavor. I saw that this brand have more unique flavors and I would definitely go back to try other flavors.
