Why We Love Licks
Licks has been scooping on Water Street since 1990, and it’s exactly what a lake-town ice cream shop should be. It’s small, sweet and always busy on summer nights.
With more than 40 flavors plus malts, banana splits and pints and quarts to go, it’s the perfect end to a walk through downtown Excelsior.
