A Family Tradition in Lee
Lucky’s Ice Cream sits at 30 West Center Street in Lee, Massachusetts. This family-owned spot has been serving up smiles since 2007, when the Abdalla family transformed a former tanning salon into a vibrant ice cream destination with a playful atmosphere and riverside views.
What Makes It Special
Lucky’s stands out for its impressive variety, offering over 40 hard-serve flavors (including both premium and classic options) and multiple soft-serve choices. The Abdalla family brings generations of restaurant experience to their ice cream venture.
You can get:
- Unique hard-serve creations like Full Quart Pretzel (vanilla with chocolate-coated pretzel balls, chocolate caramel cups, and caramel ripple)
- Cannoli (sweet ricotta ice cream with tiny chocolate chips and crispy pieces of cannoli pastry)
- Campfire S’mores (graham cracker ice cream with marshmallow ripple and chocolate chips)
- Weekly rotating “Flavor Burst” soft-serve options
- Inclusive options including vegan, dairy-free sorbets, and no-sugar-added choices
The shop offers something for everyone, making it a welcoming spot for families with dietary restrictions or preferences.
The Experience
Beyond just serving ice cream, Lucky’s creates a complete family experience. The outdoor area features picnic tables with views of the Housatonic River, and children can enjoy the on-site playground with swings and play structures while parents relax nearby.
The shop is wheelchair accessible with friendly entrance, parking, and seating options. Both on-site lot parking and street parking make it easy to visit.
Community Connection
The Abdalla family has deep roots in Berkshire County. Their restaurant legacy extends to Michaels Restaurant in Stockbridge and Bogies Restaurant in Great Barrington, representing their broader commitment to local dining.
Lucky’s location near local attractions makes it a perfect stop during a Berkshires adventure. The shop has earned praise from visitors as one of the best ice cream spots in the region.
While Lucky’s operates seasonally during warmer months, it has become a cherished summer tradition for both locals and travelers exploring the beautiful Berkshires.
