Yum!! We were craving ice cream while walking around Excelsior and spotted Licks. Super cute inside! Like an old fashioned ice cream parlor. The staff were so lovely and offered suggestions. We did both get ice cream sandwiches. The cookies were freshly baked and you can get any flavor ice cream inside. The only downside: it melts VERY fast, which they did warn us about, and therefore put in a boat so we could eat it. It’s pretty much ice cream soup with cookies, but still very good, but not a typical handheld ice cream Sammie.

Delicious ice cream! They have a large variety of flavors to try and several different dipped cones to choose from as well. Amazing location! Grab some ice cream and take a stroll a block over to sit by the lake.

Too bad not open all seasons. Great ice cream. One thing I wish is to have Black Licorice ice cream 😋Gray Ice Cream sooo good. Can't hardly find it. Would you think of having it?

Licks Unlimited is the kind of place you grow up with and never outgrow. It’s a true original. On a hot summer night, this is the spot you rush to before it closes. The lines can be long, but they move quickly, and it’s always worth it. The ice cream is rich, the flavors are both classic and creative. There’s an energy here that just feels like summer. Families, kids in jerseys, people walking back from the lake—it’s a scene that never gets old. Licks isn’t just one of the best ice cream shops in the area. Pure nostalgia in a cone.

Delicious ice cream perfect REAL ice cream which is hard to come by the only thing preventing 10s across the board is the fact most their flavors are a little too eccentric and just when you get interested there might be a single ingredient I could have done without which made me sad but when in doubt there's always a birthday cake flavor and ole reliable strikes again & was the best of is kind in the state thus far by far!! 🎂😋🍦 oh and well priced as well 💰🤑👌🏽
