History
Sweet Things Ice Cream is a Lexington landmark! Chris and Patty Williams became the second owners in 2003, and Sweet Things celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2012. Located across the street from Washington & Lee University and within walking distance of Virginia Military Institute, we have seen many students graduate and come back to visit with their own kids. It is very exciting to have a second generation of ice cream lovers frequent the shoppe! Our local residents bring friends and family to enjoy their favorite flavor of ice cream, making memories they won't soon forget. Families traveling the east coast frequently tell us they stop in Lexington specifically for Sweet Things Ice Cream...now that is loyalty! Tourists on the Lexington Carriage Tour, Professor Cline's Ghost Tour and the Lexington Walking Tour tell us our ice cream is the best they have ever tasted. We work had to create a family friendly atmosphere serving quality, home made products. Stop by and see us today!
