Piper's Soft Serve Bar
503 W 6th St, Covington, KY
Crema's Take
“This charming soft serve spot in Covington has carved out a loyal following with its welcoming vibe and friendly staff (Dylan's recommendations are worth asking for), making it the perfect place to linger on the outdoor patio or grab something sweet after exploring the nearby park. While their classic flavors like vanilla chocolate swirl and butterscotch are consistently creamy and well-executed, they're also experimenting with options like German chocolate waffle cones and vegan soft serve for those looking to try something different. It's the kind of neighborhood gem where regulars keep coming back—whether they're festival vendors wrapping up their day or families looking for a casual, kid-friendly spot to cool off.”

I’m a vendor every year at the Covington Pride festival and we always end our day at Piper’s for some soft serve. The ice cream rocks, the staff are awesome, and it’s the perfect end to a long day. I was especially touched by the service today. I’m disabled and juggling crutches and oxygen gets iffy and takes extra time. The guy serving me very kindly told me to take my time and no need to rush. I often feel like I’m in the way so it was lovely for them to be so understanding.
Oh yummy, yum, yum! Sweet treats galore at this quant little ice cream shop. If you arms sure what to order, just ask Dylan, who is full of helpful suggestions!
Place is next to a decent park, that also has a clock tower. Can bring your kids to play at the park and then get some ice cream. Has outdoor seating. Pictured is a vanilla chocolate swirl soft serve with a cone on top and an egg nog flavored soft serve in a cup.
I was so excited for the vegan options but was disappointed in overall flavor and taste on the vegan soft serve. It almost had a slushy like consistency- definitely not soft serve. I may have been served the wrong thing. However, I loved the atmosphere and the workers were so friendly despite how busy they were! 3 stars because I am hopeful that they will make improvements to the vegan soft serve and grateful that a local business is experimenting with vegan options
Cute little ice cream place with lots of different flavor options. My daughter ordered a German chocolate waffle cone with Heath pieces on top and hers was delicious! I ordered butterscotch ice cream in a bowl with chocolate sprinkles and mine tasted like banana. 🤷♀️ Parking is limited on street.
