Nicey Treat

Unlike the Broad Ripple flagship, the popsicle shop’s Fletcher Place location is a walk-up Dutch door (open Thursday through Sunday).


Jamaican Jerk

When you’re in the mood for a clamshell of jerk ribs, red beans and rice, and peach-ginger lemonade.

All day. Erryday.

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.

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

 


Calliope Sno-Balls

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

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.


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.

Dairy Queen

These old-school shacks built in the 1950s and 1960s are sprinkled throughout the inner city.
