After having a nice dinner with a fellow Yelp friend, we both concluded that even though we were somewhat already full and satisfied, we still had this urge to top off the evening with a dessert! That's when my dinner companion Bridget W., (who is a strict vegan), recommended that we try this cute little ice cream shop that she had previously been reading about, with all of their positive Yelp reviews.
"Licked" is located downtown in an old neighborhood on the corner of Broadway and 34th Street. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a very sweet and helpful young lady. This ice cream and Italian Ice shop specializes in not only dairy, but in non-dairy, gluten free, sugar free and vegan options! I was amazed at the varieties of flavors available! (16 to be exact). The viewing case made decision making difficult!
Eventually we narrowed our choices down. Bridget ordered a Vegan Vanilla Sundae, while I ordered the Sacra "Mint" O Sundae, which included brownie bites, hot fudge, whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. This was one of the best ice cream concoctions I have had in a really long time! Just the right amount of richness and sweetness in every mouthful!
Luckily, we had arrived at a good time, because after we sat down outside on the sidewalk patio to enjoy our desserts, several customers showed up and the shop became very busy. Apparently, I was jokingly singled out by some of the patrons for eating the rest of the chocolate chip mint ice cream that had been available for that evening! LOL! Anyway, I would love to make this place a habit, and return here again, and again!
