Delicious ice cream. Love going here when I'm done walking. Honestly they should get Apple Pay to get more of my business. When I forget my wallet at home I can't stop here, but I always have my phone on me so I wouldn't have that excuse with Apple Pay as an option. read more

Incredible ice cream right along the Monon. It's a really popular spot so sometimes the lines can get long but it is well worth the wait!

I really wanted to love this place. It's local, cute, and has big portions. The texture of the ice cream is fine but there is very little flavor. We got blue moon, mint chip, coffee, pistachio, and butter pecan. If you weren't looking at the ice cream you could barely tell what flavor you were eating. Given that it seems like a better bet would be to get a sundae. read more

One of my favorite spots for a delicious treat in the Indy area. I am dairy free so it is hard for me to find good dairy free treats but they always have it. The Mexican chocolate is good but the chocolate mint is to die for. My kids are ice cream fanatics and love the generous scoops here. I love that they are kind to the planet here. And also give out free cups of water. No mater how busy they are someone is always handing out water and making sure the place is clean. Even if it looks packed the line moves quick. The prices are fair as well. read more

Cute little no-fuss ice cream shop right off the Monon Trail in Broad Ripple. Lots of classic and unique flavors, including several vegan options. Grab a cone to-go at the walk-up window. Or, order your ice cream for here" in a cup or dish and enjoy outside on the dog & kid friendly patio. The conversation prompt cards on the tables add to the fun atmosphere. Always a treat visiting BRICS! read more

Brics - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I left Brics compelled to hop on here immediately and write a 5-star review. Not only is the ice cream delicious, but they go above and beyond to provide great customer service. The employees behind the ice cream counter were friendly and outgoing, eager to offer samples and suggestions. After sitting down with our ice cream, another employee brought glasses of water around for all guests. Brics is also environmentally friendly- they use real dishes and glassware and also compost other items. They have a cute patio right along the Monon trail in Broad Ripple and a few parking spaces as well. I highly recommend a stop at Brics if you're in the area! read more

My favorite ice cream spot in Broad Ripple! Love the location right off the Monon. They always have so many good flavors and rotate them as well. The regular size gives you more than enough ice cream to enjoy. There is also picnic tables to enjoy outside. General inside is open but due to COVID has been closed for awhile. However, the bathrooms are still open inside if needed. read more

If an ice cream place could have TOO MANY flavors then BRICS takes the prize! It's so hard to decide what I want every time I visit. Thankfully they allow you to try flavors until you decide on what you're feeling that day. I also recommend getting your cone or bowl half and half with two different flavors! I'm a full grown adult and the "briclet" size is almost too big but you can have two separate scoops of two different flavors. I can't remember all the ones I've tried but this past visit I had chocolate chip cookie dough - a classic - and caramel x 3 which has caramel bits, sauce and the ice cream is actually caramel flavor. SO GOOD. expect a line if you're visiting during the summer! But you can always wait outside and enjoy the Monon!' read more

I really like that they have some good vegan and gluten free options. This place is always packed so be prepared to wait, especially now that it's warmer. I like to enjoy my ice cream as I take a nice stroll down the Monon. read more

When you're ready cone & get it... at BRICS! This is the perfect place for people of all ages to satisfy that sweet tooth! BRICS has a variety of flavors to choose from, including yellow cake batter, chocolate choo choo, carrot cake, cotton candy, etc. You honestly can't go wrong with any of their flavors! As much as I love the ice cream, their location is even better! They are located right on the Monon Trail. You can sit outside on their deck, enjoy your ice cream, and watch pedestrians and bikers on the trail. But wait, it gets better! When I came the other night, they had live music outside on the deck. The atmosphere was awesome and everyone around me was enjoying themselves. Side note: The deck outside is pet friendly. To avoid any health hazards, they have a walk-up window outside where you can order your ice cream w/o having to go inside with your pet! Definitely check this place out next time your in Broad Ripple. It will not disappoint!! read more

I have nothing bad to say! Some of the best ice cream around Indy and the store is freakin' cool. I like grabbing some ice cream before going to walk on the Monon. Love this place! read more

Ice Cream. For most that's all we need to need to hear: "ice cream." Especially considering our neighborhood has been overran with fro-yo and a sno-cone stand (okay...yeah...the sno-cone stand is endearing...but it ain't ice cream). BRICS is ice cream; all of it; all the time; all at once. Call me Mrs. Dalloway because I am Virginia Woolfing this chocolate almond fudge down as fast as Orlando changes genders. The Pistachio in a waffle cone will make you feel like you're in a room of one's own. A Voyage Out of BRICS is tough...you find yourself wanting to spend all the hours of your day there. Between the acts of life I've found myself scheduling BRICS sessions. "Mrs. Dalloway (that's me...for now) said she would buy the ice cream herself." And I did; and I will; again and again. read more

The broad ripple blackberry will change your life. Pair it with the choo choo chocolate (dark chocolate) cone. A standard cone can be split amongst 3 flavors. Next time we're getting blackberry, dark chocolate, blackberry. It's truly the best ice cream I've had in the state. read more

The staff are so darn sweet! The place is cozy, the bathrooms are clean, the portions are enormo, and they now have COLORING PAGES. It doesn't get better than this! And if you think this is not a place you should go in the Winter, I'd encourage you to give it a shot. Try the s'mores! Enjoy the fireplace! Get a cup of coffee. read more

I love stopping at Brics while strolling the monon. They have awesome rotating flavors that are worth a try! Sometimes the inside can get a little chaotic when people aren't aware of the number system and I've had a few times that the workers don't acknowledge me. read more

Brics is such an adorable spot to stop on a nice night along the Monon. The walk up window is great if you're in a hurry or have a dog with you. Dozens of flavors - which makes choosing hard. I love that this place is much more affordable that many more independent ice cream shops. Apparently there's some secret sampler special with 3-4 scoops that's a crazy deal. It's also really cute and sweet how they give out "pup cups" for all the doggy visitors. Parking can be a challenge as with any place in Broad Ripple so just plan to walk a block or so and give yourself a few minutes to look. read more

BRICS is my favorite ice cream parlor in Indy, and I think many people would agree because every time we go there it is packed! They have two large cases of 20+ ice cream flavors to choose from, including sorbets and vegan gelato. They usually have 3 to 4 vegan options, which rotate depending on the day. Two of my favorites I've had there are the vegan mint chocolate chip and the vegan strawberry balsamic. They have reasonable prices and their scoops are huge! It is around $5 for two scoops, $6 for a pint and $11 for a quart. The customer services is great and the employees there are always polite and pleasant to interact with. If you dine in, they have framed articles on the wall explaining the history of the location and how it was previously a train station along the Monon. It is an interesting history to read about it! The location on the Monon makes it very convenient for those utilizing the trail, and they also have parking on the opposite side of the trail. read more

Brics, aka Broad Ripple Ice Cream Station, is one of the cutest ice cream shops I have been to. I was with some girlfriends visiting Indy, and one of them suggested that we go to Brics. She said the building used to be an old train station(?) I ordered the Dark Chocolate Amaretto Cherry in a waffle cone. It was absolutely delightful. The ice cream was smooth and was not too rich because the cherries offset the sweetness. My friend had the blackberry and pistachio ice cream; she loved it! We sat outside on the patio which had plenty of seating. The inside was air conditioned very nicely, which would be a great alternative if it is super hot. The price is above average compared to chain restaurants that sell ice cream. But it is so worth it! read more

Convenient location right on the Monon in Broad Ripple, a variety of ice cream flavors, and great seating both indoors and outdoors. This place is pretty much a culmination of all great things rolled in to one. I also had pistachio ice cream for the first time while visiting here, and it was delicious! There's really not much that BRICS could improve, aside from maybe another location :) read more

What a fun stop on the Monon Trail! On a nice family outing down in Broad Ripple, we treated ourselves to a little ice cream at Brics after walking by there many times. First off, the service was outstanding. We appreciated the friendly faces and I had the feeling that the team there really enjoy their jobs - or at least act like it (and who hasn't been there) The ice cream is delicious - nothing but rave reviews from all four of us. Wishing you many years ahead of serving up sweet treats in one of (if not the) best neighborhood in the city! read more

Brics is my favorite place to get ice-cream in Indianapolis! They always have tons of different flavors to choose from and the people working are always so friendly! They have a great patio, that is dog friendly and they have conversation cards on the tables inside, great for a first date! One of my favorite things to order is their frozen berry lemonade, I don't believe it has ice-cream in it, but it is delicious and refreshing! In the fall I love ordering their pumpkin ice-cream and I love when they bring their red velvet flavor out, it's my all time favorite! YUM!!! read more

I loved everything about my experience at BRICS! The staff was fantastic. The minute you walk in the door, they welcome so cheerfully as if your a long time customer. On top of that, you walk in and see beautiful handmade pies, cookies, and other great treats just before seeing the insane amount of ice cream they have. The staff member that helped me offered a few samples, and helped me pick by giving me her recommendations. She definitely knew her ice cream. She told me that the company they get their love cream from has been in business for over 100 years and hasn't stopped producing high quality I've cream since. The proof is truly in the cream. I order a single serving of banana praline, which tasted like pure bananas had been mashed, rather than gross take banana flavoring. I did try samples of the black raspberry and the blueberry , each of which I plan on going back to get! Each flavor had fresh fruit and none of the fake flavors. A single serving was more than enough for me. Don't be cooked by the name of the size: "single scoop" definitely had more than one scoop on it (more life 4-5 scoops)! Overall, amazing quality and very friendly service! Highly recommend! read more

The most milkshake options I've ever seen!!! Such a wide spread of milkshake flavors and add ons. They even have gluten free and vegan options! We were having a movie night with friends and decided to all try different flavors! I got a peanut butter chocolate milkshake and it came with mini Reese cups inside! So delicious! Can't wait to come back and try more options! Nothing bad to say about this milkshake experience! read more

Ice cream was really good. And I was unfortunately way overwhelmed with the amount of employees staring at me when I came in. I wish I could exaggerate, there were no less than seven employees that said hi in unison. That is enough to make an introvert run for the hills. I am an extrovert and I was overwhelmed. This was only my second time in so I didn't know the flavors. All of them watched as I read each description, one employee even followed me back-and-forth and back-and-forth as I tried to decide - stage fright anxiety did not help me remember what I had just read. If I see this many employees next time, I would choose not to get ice cream. read more

Brics is a staple go-to during those warm, summer days when you're out and about with friends, family, or even a date! Whether you're running or exercising on the Monon or just had some dinner at a nearby restaurant, brics is a must. Their flavors are always plentiful and the samples are endless. Give a couple a try before committing because they don't scoop lightly here - the single scoop is massive! I love that they stick to the basics and really show off their delicious products in a delicious, simple way. They offer glasses of water which is always a nice touch as well. Craving ice cream while in Broad Ripple? Definitely have to give it a try! read more

Worth the wait! Delicious fresh flavors! We loved exploring the Broad Ripple neighborhood while eating the cones!

We went for the Chowdown event that Broad Ripple is doing this week, and we tried a five flavour sampler of esspresso, blackberry, triple caramel, cotton candy, and chocolate malt. The staff were extremely friendly and the ice cream was amazing! They are open pretty late too, so its a great place to go for dessert after dinner! :) read more

This place is always packed because the ice cream is amazing! They have a huge selection, but as a creature of habit I always get the mint chocolate chip :) Awesome patio on the Monon which is nice to sit on any time it's even remotely sunny.

Positives: Perfect place for family, friends, or a date. So many tasty flavors and cones. The staff here is extremely nice, and the space itself is really cool. I love that they bring around complimentary water, and they'll even put out some bowls of water for dogs on hot days. Negatives: Not a negative, but it can get crowded. So come with patience and everything will be great. Don't forget to take a number! :) read more

There are a lot of things I remember when visiting a business, but there's probably nothing in the world that leaves a better impression on me than kindness. Such was the experience when I finally, yeah finally, made my first visit to Brics just yesterday. Now then, I should confess up front that despite yesterday being my first visit to Brics the truth is that all I ordered was an iced tea (the friend with me did order ice cream). So, how do I get a five-star rating out of iced tea? Let's go back to that kindness thing. I was on the Monon Trail all day yesterday...literally from 8am - 9:30pm doing an awareness/fundraising event and traveling in my wheelchair 49 miles. While I'm never the king of fashion, yesterday was a hot and sunny day and I'm a getting older disabled guy whose body really isn't made for that kind of outreach. I was hot. I was sticky. I was grungy. I was dirty. Yeah, I'll even admit I had a serious case of da' funk going on. About mid-afternoon and about 35 miles into my trek, a minor health issue occurred and I knew that I needed to stop and get my body to cool down. After some thought, I'd remembered seeing iced tea on the Brics menu and figured that might be a good place to rest in air conditioning and allow my body to cool down. So, I wheeled back to Brics. They've made an obvious and appreciated effort at being wheelchair friendly, though it is a touch easier from the street than it is from the Monon. The Monon side has a little bit of a lip you'll need to get over while it appears the street side does not. I didn't find it a big deal, but it's worth mentioning. They have a ramp that goes up to their entrance and outside deck area. Going inside, there's also a bit of a lip into the entrance. I should note that they are located in the historical Monon Railway Station, a building over a century old and, as such, is not mandated to provide near the access that the local owners have opted to provide. In other words, I'm grateful and impressed. As you enter, to the left is the ordering area and to the right is an indoor area where you can dine in. It took me a minute to catch on that you need to grab a number from a dispenser against the wall. It's fairly obvious, but it's worth noting as they do get packed. I grabbed a number and fairly quickly it was called. Several young folks were working the counter and they'd clearly been well trained. Because I was on the road and thought ice cream would be a bit heavy, I stuck with iced tea at $2 for a fairly modest sized drink. Brics serves ice cream from Sherman's, a South Haven, Michigan ice cream maker. They also have vegan options (really!), sherbet, a variety of creations, hot/cold drinks and more. I'm pretty sure the folks at Brics had no idea what I was doing, so they had no real "reason" to be kind to this disheveled, messy and fairly funky guy in a wheelchair. They were anyway. They were friendly, helpful and were even helpful with the door while I was leaving. I used their restroom while I was there, I'll admit I was a bit hesitant considering how grungy I was, but the restroom is so wonderfully accessible that even in my tired state I could maneuver easily. They actually have two single-stall restrooms - one equipped with a changing table and both genuinely accessible. So, there you have it. While I may not have sampled their primary product, I did get a genuine feel for Brics and their community spirit. They offer free wifi, a water station for filling water bottles (great for trail users), and outdoor seating on their deck. They are open year-round and have a fireplace for winter. As I wheeled past them throughout the day, I can vouch for the fact that they stay busy but the crew keeps the line moving quickly and they stay friendly throughout it all. I'm impressed and I'll definitely be back. read more

Great ice cream with solid variety of flavors, including non dairy and gluten free options. Blackberry is the best. Cute building in a "train station" and very lovely people who work there. In top demand by our kids and a whole-family favorite on the Monon trail!! read more

My favorite ice cream spot. Period. I've been here quite a few times, and they never disappoint. The servers are always bright & cheery, and very patient while I decide which flavor I want to try on that particular day. It's ALWAYS centered around chocolate. ;) It's in a great location, and I love sitting on the patio to people (and dog) watch during the warm months. And there's no reason to skip during the winter...there's plenty of ample seating inside, and they serve DELICIOUS hot chocolate! read more

I love this place! I will definitely be returning. It's a fun location and the ice cream is delicious. It's generous in the scoops too. They have tons of options. Something for everyone!

There is so much to do around this place so if you're in the Broadripple area and have a sweet tooth, try out this ice cream joint! I'm sure they'll have a flavour you'll enjoy. read more

Brics - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Sorry, super late review from a season back! Better late than never. But...finally made it to Brics during Chowdown after all this hearsay about the best fricken ice cream in Indy. I had to try this myself to be the judge of it. For those of you whose eyes tend to be bigger than their stomachs, be warned that BRICS has a very generous definition of "one scoop". Prepare yourself for a huge bowl of ice cream, enough to share with a friend or two. On summer days it can be extremely hectic with masses of bodies in front of the ice cream counter, but their pull a ticket # system seems to make things more efficient so there's no line cutters. Plus, it's like a VIP experience so you can freely roam across all the flavors and pick out the ones you want. $5 five flavor sampler special of (blackberry, berry sorbet, french silk, whistle stop wake up (espresso), and pistachio) scooped into dish. I'm a big fan of their fruit flavored ice creams and their indulgent classic flavors as well. They're creamy in consistency and you can see real bits of fruit meshed in. Served in environmentally friendly white parfait dishes, metal spoons, renewable napkins, BRICS really emphasizes passion for community sustainability since almost everything is recyclable even to the paper wrapped cones down to the straw paper for their ice cold water delivered to your table in glasses. Now you go green, BRICS! Winter's quickly approaching in Indy, but that wouldn't stop me from getting ice cream even if it's freezing outside because it's just so delicious, filling you with happy memories on the crappiest days! read more

Brics - Midtown sampler - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Brics, I still love you, but Handel's is running a tight race. Though you can't beat the Chowdown Midtown deal of the sampler of five scoops for $5. Definitely enough to feed two people! And as always, wonderful service. The flavors were good this time, not as great as I'd remembered but maybe that's a function of my flavor choice. From most to least favorite: -Coconut Almond Fudge (or something of the sort) - Brics Tracks? (the one similar to Moose tracks) - Yellow Birthday Cake and Birthday Cake tie for third - Whistle something (the espresso one, wouldn't get this one again) You know I'll be back! read more
