"OMG! You can't miss with this! We were in KC for 4 nights, we were here EVERY night! Very creative flavor options."

"I had been more wary of ice cream for years. Mostly for dietary choices yet I have always loved going out for ice cream. One of the trends that has elevated is locally made ice cream, and Betty Rae's is one of the places you had better visit! Holy cow (see what I did there?) they make INCREDIBLE flavors in the most sinfully smooth ice cream that melts like butter as you eat it! Olive oil and peppercorn? Oh wow! Joe's BBQ ice cream with bits of burnt ends? Savorlicious! You will not be disappointed."

"Betty Rae’s Ice Cream Shop has been a staple in Kansas City for 10 yrs. Whether you’re new to KC, just visiting, or a local, you have to taste Betty Rae’s. From handmade cones and bowls, gourmet shakes, floats, ice cream sandwiches, ice cream pies, sundaes, ice cream cakes, and Betty’s flights: 6 scoops of ice cream, your choice, which gives you a chance to try several different flavors for one price, serving Vegan and Dairy Free options that taste amazing, you can’t go wrong and they’re sure to have wonderful options for your sweet tooth or event. They also offer catering services great for social gatherings or company events surely to bring everyone together. The mobile ice cream trucks are a game changer, who doesn’t love to see the ice cream truck pulling up…childhood memory unlocked!!! The merch is a great way to support this local shop, and show your KC pride. The colors and quality speak for themselves. Not to mention that they partner and use other local retailers and shops like Thou Mayst, The Roasterie, as well as Shatto farms to source the freshest ingredients from our area. There’s 5 locations in KC, KS, & now in your local grocery stores! The best day to visit them is on Tuesday’s between 12-2 pm."

"One of Waldo's hidden gems. All of the ice cream is churned and made fresh. This was my first time here and I was able to sample a few flavors. My favorite was the s'mores flavor. Ended up ordering a double scoop with a waffle cone. Was so excited to eat it I forgot to take pictures! The waffle cone was the right amount of crunch. I'm honestly wondering if they actually cooked it like a waffle and then hardened it into cone form! My fiancé ordered cookies and cream. This wasn't your average cookies and cream ice cream. I 100% believe they cook real cookies and blend them into the ice cream. Was so pleased with our dessert we ordered 2 pints to go. It's a bit pricey for two, but it's my birthday it was worth it!"

"The ice cream here is delicious, but the environment depends a lot on the crowd level. The vibe is very Waldo suburban bohemian, which I’m generally okay with. But when it gets noisy and crowded, it just isn’t a pleasant place to be. It might also be nice if they could find a way to manage the line so that it doesn’t extend out the front door. That makes the wait look longer than it is, which almost prompted me to give up and go someplace else. I’m glad I stuck with it, however, because oh that ice cream. I got a double scoop of creme brûlée, which tasted just like the real thing. The texture was great as well, though it started to melt swiftly. If you hate making a mess, consider a cup rather than a cone. On top of the great food, this is a local business with a solid commitment to the community. Thus it’s well worth it to brave the lines."

"We had never gone to either location, only tried ice cream off the food truck. There’s just something about watching your ice cream getting scooped that brings out the child in ya! You cannot be unhappy when you have an ice cream cone in your hands! This place has a cool vibe to it. The workers were nice and efficient. We loved all the plants! Definitely a Kansas City go to!
