  • Decadent, creamy texture
  • Distinctive, adventurous flavors
  • Gut-friendly a2 dairy
  • Clean, organic ingredients
  • Lavender-forward, perfumey notes
  • Occasional flaky peanut butter texture
  • Hard-to-scoop straight from freezer
  • Inconsistent mix-in distribution

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.

  • had the matcha chocolate chip ice cream and it was so good- will definitely be buying again and trying other flavors!! extra points for good consistency but i do wish that there were more chocolate chips

  • chose 3: matcha chocolate chip, meyer lemon cookie, and strawberry crumble. i let my husband pick 2 and he chose the fruity ones which are not what i would've picked, but i did really like the matcha--went out on a limb with this flavor and it was uniquely delicious, also it was my first time having matcha ice cream--i'm a fan! the other two were what you would expect, both were tasty but i favored the lemon over the strawberry. you can taste the quality of the ingredients. this brand did not disappoint. i want to try them all!

  • It’s ice cream it’s delicious. What can I say? I got mint chocolate chip and vanilla and they were both a creamy delight.

  • VERY tasty ice cream but I think there is a bit of greenwashing going on because they include inflammatory oils in their product (why not switch to something like coconut oil instead?!? PLEASE!). Still, I love that it is an organic ice cream option.

  • Great flavors. Rich creamy texture

  • I am a huge lover of ice cream and this ice cream was hands down the best ice cream I’ve ever had! I do not say that lightly at all either. It’s such a decadent treat for the taste buds. I want more!!!

  • This ice cream was really creamy, having that classic rich ice cream taste. My only concern was the nutrition, but that always comes with some quality classic ice cream. We got triple chocolate blackout cookie and peanut butter honeycomb, and the PB one tasted like real peanut butter

  • Really wonderful product… no stomach ache after eating half the pint.. ha! The flavors were delicious and complex. Bought one for my sibling who is lactose intolerant. A little pricey, but the BOGO deal made it sweet. I will purchase this as a treat in the future, but probably not often due to price and because I don’t often purchase ice cream.

  • This is some of the better ice cream I've had. Give the lime/cookie flavor a try, as well as the Triple Chocolate Blackout. It's all goo.d

  • The Mint Chip is literally the best ice cream I've ever had in my life. I think about it almost daily. The only thing is that it's about a 30min drive away to get a pint, so my Alec's consumption is not at the level I want it to be. It is about $6-7 a pint but worth it. I'm dying to try other flavors, AND it's made with A2 milk so easier on yr stomach.

  • This is delicious. I love it. It is not too sweet. It's perfect to have in summer time. However, their package is not so good, I saw it break in the frozen shelf and too much ice on it

  • It’s very good ice cream. Simple as that.

  • It has a rich taste. Overall good quality but the only reason to take a rating down is its price points. Would get them when on sale.

  • Good creamy ice cream. My only wish is that they didn’t add malodextrin to the and cleaner gums than guarguar gum.

  • Overall, Alec's is *really good* ice cream. Very clean, little to no additives, organic and regenerative. The flavors for the most part are on point and taste premium, having tried multiple. On the individual: Salted Chocolate was okay, a little bit boring but you could taste the salt. It was just chocolate ice cream though. Tahitian Vanilla and Sea Salt Caramel were great top tier flavors. The vanilla in the vanilla bean was very pronounced and high quality. The caramel swirl had a depth of flavor and the ice cream itself was salty and sweet like a caramel base. Meyer Lemon Cookie could have a little more lemon flavor - it tasted more sweet overall than specifically lemon, I think it needs to be stronger because I was really looking forward to this flavor.

  • Alec's Ice Cream nailed it with their Peanut Butter Fudge Honeycomb flavor. The combination of salted peanut butter, crunchy honeycomb toffee, and rich fudge is a dream come true. Each bite is a delightful mix of creamy and crunchy. This ice cream has become my go-to treat for satisfying my sweet tooth. The Coffee & Toffee flavor is just fantastic. The cold-brewed coffee and sweet cream base with bits of chocolate-covered toffee are a match made in heaven. It's the perfect balance of coffee flavor and sweetness. Great for an afternoon treat or dessert!

  • Alec’s ice cream has climbed its way to my top ice cream picks after trying the matcha chocolate chip! Admittedly, I’m not a huge ice cream lover (I’m a froyo girlie), but I will not refuse high quality, low sugar, and delicious ice cream. The ingredients are one of the most simple and minimal I’ve seen and what I look for. It’s a huge plus that this brand tries to make ice cream for those of us who are challenged with digesting dairy, aka me. Since trying the matcha chocolate chip, we went back to pick up salted dark chocolate and strawberry crumble! Can attest both are delicious! Strawberry crumble tastes like a strawberry shortcake and the salted dark chocolate tastes how it sounds — a salted decadent dark chocolate.

  • I tried the lavendar blueberry flavor and liked it! I think it's a good version of the "better for you" types of ice cream and I appreciate the interesting flavors.

  • I really enjoy eating Alec's ice cream. The ice cream is really creamy and delicious and they have fun flavors.

  • I’m so surprised by this flavor! Most banana ice creams I’ve had taste very artificial, like laffy taffy banana flavor, but this tastes like banana bread! It’s rich with notes of caramel and vanilla and the end flavor is banana. I really like the crunchy chocolate pieces as well. Alec’s is definitely becoming one of my favorite brands for the richness of flavor and creaminess of their ice cream. It’s not icy at all and the ice cream is dense. I’ve noticed brands like Van Leeuwen, while fun and creative, have such airy ice cream that it feels like I’m eating a bowl of air. This feels like an actual bowl of ice cream, if that makes sense.
