This place was great! The ice cream was delicious and I couldnt decide what I wanted. The blackberry pie one was delicious. Chocolate covered rice krispie treats were amazing. The workers were very nice to us, even when a huge group of us walked in right before they closed.

Yum! This was a slice of heaven for a sweet tooth like me. There’s about a dozen flavors of fudge to choose from, alongside rows of handmade chocolate-covered confections. It took all my strength to resist the toffee, caramels, bark, and other coated treats. I walked out with only a small brick of mocha fudge. It got eaten up shortly thereafter.

Staff was oddly robotic and didnt speak when we greeted them. I felt uncomfortable so I didnt buy anything. Hours seem to be whenever they feel like working.

Absolutely loved this place very fun. We went here to celebrate a little for my mothers birthday. We will be going beck again. The man behind the counter was very friendly and kind. We bought their hand dipped chocolates along with ice cream. Very good.

Probably the most rude service Ive experienced in my 30+ years of living in Kentucky. The lady and the man behind the counter were as unpleasant as anyone Ive ever met, I dont know if they are just having a bad day, but judging by other reviews. It seems to happen a lot.

I called on Saturday or Sunday to see if they would be opened Monday and what time. I was told they would be open around noon. I was there about 1PM and the place closed tighter than a lock safe.

Im sorry to say that we wont be going back here. My kids and I enjoyed coming in for ice cream, but this evening (9/16/2020) during the COVID-19 pandemic, the lady behind the counter was not wearing a mask and when my wife tried to order, she told my wife take off your mask, Im hard of hearing. When my wife refused, she got irritated and said, Well, youll just have to yell then! I tell you, these democrats have got us all fooled with this mask stuff. We will be reporting non-compliance with the Healthy at Work Guidelines. Many here in Berea are working hard to keep our community safe, and it is sad to see business owners willing to put people and their children at risk.

Review №29

Stopped in for some ice cream after hiking. I’m all about the experience, to me it’s just as important as the goods the shop has to offer. The ice cream was good, I mean it’s ice cream, but we didn’t try anything else. The workers were very rude and made it a very unpleasant experience. I asked to try one of the flavors, I mean what ice cream or fudge shop doesn’t offer samples? The lady was not happy about that and gave me the wrong sample (I realized it didn’t taste anything like what I requested and my bf pointed out it was a different flavor) then fussed at me when he pointed it out and argued I said the wrong thing. And by arguing I mean that I stood there in shock while she scolded me and repeatedly said I asked for that flavor. She grabs my sample spoon (I had already eaten off of) and slaps another sample on the same spoon. Unsanitary. So immediately after trying the sample she barks “what do you want”. The man I paid wasn’t any friendlier. Overall everything at least looked good but I’ll never be back.

The staff was not friendly. My girlfriend and I were in Berea after a day of hiking in the Pinnacles. She wanted an ice cream so we decided to stop at Berea Fudge Shop. The lady behind the counter was very unwelcoming and asked us what do you want?, while staying seated in her chair behind the counter. After asking to try one of their ice creams before we decided, she seemed irritated that we asked for a sample. We didnt feel wanted after she rushed us and asked what do you want? for the 2nd time. I chose cookies n cream to just get out of the uncomfortable situation. She then asked my 27-yr-old girlfriend and what do you want little girl?. We were both shocked that she said that and looked behind us to see if she was talking to someone else. She asked my girlfriend again. We politely said this will be it, paid the unhappy man behind the counter and left quickly. We were both in awe of how both staff members acted. We would not recommend this place and will not be back.

I was not really impressed with this place. The older guy was nice and gave my daughter a wet paper towel for the ice cream on her face on his own accord. However, their their waffle cones and cake cones are great value brand from walmart which costs $2-3 dollars a cone their price (they leave the boxes out on display). And their BBQ and other sauces are stored in free USPS flat rate boxes. As we left that day, we said thank you to a younger guy sitting down and his response was, Yup. I probably will not be back.

Review №33

Although the prices are a bit high for a single ice cream cone, it is completely worth it. The ice cream is delicious and the employees work fast and well. Their shakes and malts are also great, and they have a huge array of homemade fudge in the shop. Best to visit on a hot day or if you have a real sweet tooth!

Typically, when reviewing a site, I will post about the ambiance, food quality, and staffing. However, neither the food nor ambiance were sufficient to make up for the rudeness of the employees. I visited this shop on a first date, and expected a friendly and quaint experience in one of the most artistic and expressive towns in Kentucky. However, when I asked for the difference between the English and Black Walnut (expecting answers as to tartness and flavor profile) I was told black walnut uses black walnut, English uses English. I ordered English, but was so distracted by being spoken down to like an illiterate that there are no lasting impressions from the fudge. Not a welcoming place to bring guests, and these people clearly do not appreciate commentary or questions- they just want your money and for you to leave. Nobody is forcing them to work in Berea, and they are free to move at anytime if they dont like the people here!

Perfect for the sweet tooth. Ice cream is very good as well. They did have Pistachio ice cream that I loved but they stopped carrying it. They sell sauces like hot bbq ETC.

We needed a break from our long drive and I was craving chocolate. So when this place popped up on Yelp I figured we should give it a try. Hubby was happy to see this place also offered ice cream along side the chocolate treats. He got a mint cone while I picked out what I wanted - a Buckeye, a chocolate covered Oreo and a peanut butter cream. The latter was fine, but it was the simple Oreo that stole the show for me.We visited midday on a weekday and happened upon the last parking spot nearby. There were three others placing an order when we arrived. Since there was only one guy working, things moved a little slow. But the treats were worth it!

I was in there during the Moonlight festival this past Saturday evening. I had planned on getting some ice cream then buying some fudge to take home. The staff was very rude and unfriendly. They were unhappy about the moonlight festival and said that ice cream was not what they wanted to serve all night (then dont sell ice cream period) and that the festival was ruining and taking away from his business. I was appalled by the fact that the owner was having such conversation outloud and making everyone in line uncomfortable. I can assure you sir that the festival was NOT taking away your business, it was your mouth. And according to many other reviews this is happening quite frequently. I will never go back!

Review №39

The employee who waited on us was very dismissive, apathetic and lacked professionalism. In spite of his attitude, my fiancé and I purchased a great deal (a square of fudge and total of 16 truffles to sample the variety). The fudge was the only palatable sweet. I dont believe Ive spit out more chocolate. It was overpriced & terrible. We wont be returning.

August 5,2017. Approximately 7:15 pm The customer service by the guy that looks like Joe Dirt was very troubling for my wife and cousin but very funny for me, I think he had a mental break down when they asked if the fudge in house was made in house, he went bananas, he needs some mental help. The store front and presentation was great, he acted so mentally unstable when questions were asked.

Workers went on and on about their political views and yelled at us. They talked about how they should get rid of all the democrats and how all the immigrants were all getting free stuff and no poor white people were. He yelled and argued for several minutes and was an absolute idiot. When we left he chased us out the door to yell at us. DO NOT GO TO THIS STORE.

Review №44

Drove 50 miles specifically for this place. Best hours info I could find was that they open at noon (from Facebook). No hours posted other than Open Afternoons and Evenings... No consistency of hours. I wanted 15 minutes after noon on a Tuesday and no signs of life. Maybe they meant 1 or 2 or 3... who knows I was told they are great if you just happen to wander by while they are open.

Review №45

I do not recommend this place of business to anyone. The man behind the counter screamed at us when I asked a very simple question about his product. His offensive and accusatory rant carried on and on. I truly felt unsafe and will NEVER again return to this establishment. A one star rating is certainly overly generous!

Review №46

I was denied access because of my service dog. When I told her he was in fact a working dog, and he has the right to enter the building, she covered her face and began telling about how she was allergic and she didnt have to let him in the store, but she guessed she would let me in this one time. I informed her of the law, and asked her if her allergy was more important than my ability to function without the dog and she refused to answer. Rude, ignorant, and reported to the department of justice. Dont waste your time in this shop. Im disappointed that a city focused on small business has some store owners that are so rude. Apparently this store makes enough money that they dont need local support.

The quality was the same as supermarket ice cream. In this aspect it is overpriced. The lady who helped us barked at me WHAT since she didnt understand me. The man working acted really bad to an older couple, and treated them like they where idiots. So, I never step into this shop again.

Ice cream is extremely expensive. I paid $7.50 for three scoops of ice cream. Literally three round balls of vanilla. The employee was rude and had a very long beard that hung down into the ice cream when he reached into the icebox. Unsanitary. We will not be back.
