Crowds flock to this industrial-chic ice cream parlor for its eclectic flavors and handcrafted waffle cones.
Crank & Boom Craft Ice Cream (C&B) is a Lexington, Kentucky-based premium ice cream producer. What began as a simple dessert option in the back of Toa Green’s family restaurant, Thai Orchid Cafe has grown into a business with two scoop shops, 40+ employees, nationwide shipping through Goldbelly, and national recognition from publications such as PEOPLE Magazine, the New York Times, and the Cooking Channel. The purpose of Crank & Boom is to provide joy, laughter, and compassion to the world.
This is accomplished through a variety of community giving programs, such as the FEED Backpack program and our Small Batch Club program, which has earned over $56,000 for local charities since 2020. Crank & Boom is unique not only because it makes the best ice cream but also because of its good as a community builder and leader in Lexington and around the country.
