BRICS

901 E. 64th St., 317-257-5757

This Broad Ripple pit stop on the Monon—perhaps the only ice cream shop with live music—is so popular, there’s a good chance you’ll be photobombed.

Nothing makes me happier than a Katie date! 👍🏼

Tiny House Treats

1049 E. 54th St., 317-929-1260

Best calorie explosion on the Monon goes to the ice-cream-stuffed apple fritters at this SoBro snack shack, which has a trailside window.

The Ice Barn

1565 E. Main St., Brownsburg, 317-456-2570

Smile! Prices for a cup of flavored shaved ice top out at $2.75.

You’re only one Ice Barn away from putting a giant smile on YOUR face too!

Calliope Sno-Balls

twitter.com/CalliopeSno for daily location

This adorable truck dishes out New Orleans–style flavored ice with homemade syrups and frequents events in Garfield Park.

We’re here! Come find us at Ellenberger Park behind the ice rink. @racecityrebels

La Chinita Poblana

927 E. Westfield Blvd., 317-722-8108

The Fruit Stripe–gum walls at this Broad Ripple fusion-taco shop tend to lure Instagrammers inside, but we’re partial to the walk-up window on the patio.

Bike share riders made it up to Broad Ripple, welcome and enjoy! We see the Carmel bike share bikes here often as well! #monontrail #bikebroadripple

Mrs. Curl

259 S. Meridian St., Greenwood, 317-822-1031

How many warm Friday nights have we stood in line for 45 minutes at this classic ice cream stand, in no hurry as kids caught fireflies by the creek? Not nearly enough.

Sunday Funday.🍦#icecream #sundayfunday #indiana #igers #foodporn

Le Petit Cafe

308 W. 6th St., Bloomington, 812-334-9747

Crepes on Bloomington’s B-Line.

My favorite breakfast in Bloomington is whatever Marina decides to serve out of the window of her restaurant along a bike trail. This morning, buckwheat crepes with thick cut bacon
