This small ice cream shop is located on the main road (Lakeshore Drive), right by Salty's Restaurant. It is attached to a soft serve/milkshake joint called "Cherry on Top" which has an insane pink cherry interior (including a bathtub full of plastic cherries. I'm talking, EVERYTHING here is pink and cherry-y!).
Back to the Lickity Splitz ice cream shoppe....my kid and I appreciated how it's open late (until 10pm during the summer. Most other ice cream shops close way earlier). And they have a huge selection of flavors, cones and toppings.
I'm not a big ice cream person, but my kid is, and, when in Rome.... We visited late one night. My kid ordered a scoop of the s'more ice cream in a bowl. I couldn't decide between two flavors so I asked if I could get both in a small bowl and was told, sure! I was under the impression that they'd give me half a scoop of each flavor in the bowl, as they do at the gelato shops in Vancouver when you order two flavors. But NO! Here they filled a small bowl with a HUGE scoop of one flavor, and then put another HUGE scoop of the second flavor on top! I am not exaggerating, each scoop was the equivalent of three scoops. Even my kid's one scoop was as big as three scoops. So the portions here are HUMONGOUS. Which is not a bad thing, I suppose, but there was NO WAY we could eat all that we were given. Not even close! And despite it being a cool and breezy night, the ice cream started melting immediately.
In retrospect, had we known how incredibly generous the portion sizes were here, we would have ordered "one" scoop of ice cream and shared it.
So you really get your buck's worth here, that's for sure! read more
