This soft-serve spot has quickly become a neighborhood favorite since opening last year. In addition to classic cups and cones of the swirly stuff, they also encourage you to take a walk on the “wild side” with concoctions made from toppings mixed, folded and blended in.

Lu & Aug's is located at 28 Rittenhouse Place in Ardmore.
