Some of the best ice cream I've found in a long time. The kids asked me for ice cream...meh...where should we go? I haven't been excited by much in the ice cream department lately.
Read about Fifty Licks and it sounded innovative...
Wow! I love all of the different types of ice cream they have besides milk based. The coconut milk based ice cream was off the hook - it was chocolate and the coconut was a subtle note in the back.
They also have heavy booze-heavy ice creams. AND - a to die for Affogato made with Cuban coffee. Treats for kids, vegans, naughty adults...everyone!

Really good ice cream with a variety of unique flavors that they let you try before you buy! The staff is welcoming and fun. The whole ambience is enjoyable and doesn't feel "stuck up" like some places. Highly recommend the choc Coco mel vegan flavor and french toast.

In the new field of artisanal ice cream shops, 50 Licks has thrown their hat into the ring.
Take my review with a grain of salt - I can't eat milk - so I can only try their vegan flavors.
Unfortunately, it did not really fulfill its promise in flavor or simply being worth the effort. Their vegan flavors tended towards icy-sorbet versus creamy coconut-y flavors. They also have an unusual addition, "alcoholic" flavors for only 21+, but they don't seem like they could ever get you buzzed.
The flavors I had were OK - but not worth all the trouble of finding parking and waiting in line... Plus, as someone who is allergic to dairy, its literally impossible to not get some milk in your non-dairy ice cream as they just use the same bucket of water to clean each scooper between customer... so the scoop is always sitting in diluted milk-water.
Probably worth the effort if you can have dairy and S&S is looking too busy.... but if you have to stick to dairy-free, their offerings just aren't compelling enough.

I’ve had ice cream all over the world -
But this has been by far the best ice cream I ever had! Amazing flavor combos, great waffle cone... I literally came back until I tried every single flavor.

YES, the ice cream is scrumptious, no denying that. One employee by herself at rush hour on a Friday doesn't seem logical. Came here for an affogato which is posted on the menu in the shop. "we're not making that right now" was the response when I ordered, no explanation offered. I obliged and asked for a milkshake instead. Not making those either. Take it off the shop menu if you are not making it!
