Lickity Split Frozen Custard is the perfect place to visit on a summer evenings after a day spent in the sun. It’s fair to say it’s the perfect place to go for ice cream under any circumstances. The atmosphere is a mix of old-timey ease, bustling community sweets hub, and wide-open custard and ice cream flavor laboratory. This time around we got the cake custard with chopped pecans , a strawberry chocolate-fudge milkshake and one other item that my children devoured before I could taste it. It’s not the cheapest in the world but compared to some places like Jeni’s it’s not bad. You’re paying for the experience. The staff were kind and quick , and when I thought I ordered mint chocolate chip but it was vanilla ice cream with green syrup on it (I let one of the little ones order for himself) they took it back and changed my order. Everything was delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating both good in their own way. A tucked away Americana treasure on broadway you may drive past a dozen times and miss- just look for the striped awning and head inside and it’s “bigger on the inside”. Bring the whole family. Check out the rotating menu — hard to go wrong.

First time stopping by. My SO recommend it. It was wonderful. Vanilla, Chocolate and a rotating flavor of frozen custard made into sundaes, malts and shakes with great topping options. Good pricing. The selection of candy and fun sodas are top notch. Great a vanilla shake with cheecake.

After a nice dinner at a nearby restaurant, we walked into this spot for some dessert! It was a treasure trove!! Amazing variety of candy, sweets & desserts! The concretes were great & so was the ice cream. Excellent customer service & loved the old school decor!

Really sweet staff, even when the place is packed out with a line down the street everyone is moving quickly and super polite. Even standing in a line that goes out the street you can expect to have your ice cream in about 20 minutes. Recently I made a mistake with my order and had to trouble one of the staff members after receiving my order when they had a stack of tickets in front of them and the team was quick to fix my order and didn’t charge me anything extra. All visits prior to this were also enjoyable but after so many consistently positive experiences I felt that I owed them a five star review!
