To be honest, I must have driven past Borden's Ice Cream Shoppe over a hundred times on my numerous trips through Lafayette. The forties style building always catches my eye and I've wanted to check it out, but being a diabetic stopping for ice cream is a real no no.
However this past Saturday the wife and I had our young granddaughter along with us, which gave us all the excuse we needed to pop on in. What we found inside was a treat as sweat as the ice cream itself. The location is a perfectly preserved and functioning 40s style ice cream parlor that serves what is in my opinion the best ice cream that I have ever tasted.
Yes I had a little.
Borden's is within walking distance of the University of Louisiana and is on the edge of Lafayette's historic downtown district.
