Owned and operated by Meredith Kong and Kelly Ryan, Lick is one of Indy’s hidden gem ice cream shops.
What started as homemade ice cream for friends and family morphed into a lucrative family-owned business. Lick was born more than 13 years ago, when sisters Kong and Ryan decided to take their talent and love for making ice cream to a new level, “elevating the experience” of the classic dessert.
The idea was to not only create ice cream they could be proud of, but that guests would feel good about eating. Despite Kong and Ryan’s passion for experimenting with new flavors, they made a commitment to never use stabilizers, preservatives or artificial ingredients in any of their products.
Everything is made from scratch in their Indy-based production space for both the downtown Indy and SoBro locations, and ingredients are sourced locally to give it that “homemade” feel.
Lick specializes in new and unique flavors and always has something new on rotation, such as margarita, key lime pie, passion fruit and French violet, as well as a few staples including brown butter cookie dough, coffee chip, chocolate cherry amaretto, gingersnap lemon curd, cookies and cream, vanilla bean and milk chocolate.
Lick currently has two locations, including inside the Garage at Bottle worlds, 906 Carrollton Ave. Ste. 360, and in Broad Ripple, 1049 E. 54th St. Hours at both locations vary. For more information, visit lickindy.com. To get in contact, email lickllc@gmail.com or call 317-979-0237.
