If you’re searching for a treat that’s as heartfelt as it is delicious, look no further than Every’s Ice Cream, a family-owned scoop shop in downtown Lafayette, Indiana. Nestled on charming Main Street, Every’s brings people together over two simple things: amazing ice cream and really good coffee.
Opened in December 2024 by the Watkins family, Every’s was born from a desire to fill a flavorful gap in downtown Lafayette. With years of local business experience, David and Carla Watkins, along with their son Tanner and daughter-in-law Anna, decided to create a space that could offer a pick-me-up for any day, any mood, and any occasion. The result? A vibrant little shop with big personality.
From the moment you step into Every’s, you can feel the love behind it. The vibe is cheerful, the staff is kind, and the flavors are bold. But what truly sets their ice cream apart is the source: Every’s serves premium scoops made with JB’s Barnyard ice cream, a beloved Indiana-based creamery known for its small-batch quality and creamy texture.
Our visit was pure joy in cone form. We tried:
🍦 Waffle Cone #1: Blueberry Cheesecake paired with Lucy’s Lemon
A fruity, tangy combo that tasted like sunshine. The blueberry swirl was rich and satisfying, while the lemon was perfectly zesty and refreshing.
🍦 Waffle Cone #2: Peanut Butter Crunch
This one hit all the right notes—salty, sweet, nutty, and crunchy. If you’re a peanut butter lover, this is your new obsession.
Each bite was smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with top-tier ingredients. There’s something really special about knowing your dessert was crafted by a local family and scooped fresh with love.
Every’s isn’t just a place for ice cream. If you’re a coffee fan, you’ll be thrilled to know they also serve locally roasted coffee from Indie Coffee Roasters, one of Indiana’s best specialty roasters.
Whether you’re in the mood for a classic drip coffee, an americano, or want to go all in with an affogato (a scoop of ice cream topped with a shot of espresso), you’ll find something warm and energizing to go with your sweet treat. The combination of coffee and ice cream makes this a perfect spot to hang out, unwind, or get a midday boost.
What makes Every’s so special is the combination of things: small-town charm, premium local ingredients, and a team that genuinely cares about your experience. Whether you’re stopping by for a post-lunch cone, grabbing an espresso before your downtown stroll, or treating your pup to a mini cup, you’ll walk out happier than when you came in.
Pro tip: Don’t forget to ask about their rotating seasonal flavors—there’s always something new to fall in love with.
So next time you’re planning a weekend adventure or passing through Lafayette, make sure to add Every’s Ice Cream to your must-visit list. It’s not just about the scoop—it’s about the moment.
