About Hot Licks Homemade Ice Cream

Hot Licks Homemade Ice Cream is a beloved local spot known for its wide variety of ice cream options, friendly staff, and quick service. This mom-and-pop-style shop offers scooped ice cream and shakes, with a cozy, quaint building that adds to its charm. Often busy with a line, it’s a place worth waiting for, especially for those craving fresh, real ingredients in their treats. The shop is famous for its waffle cones and unique flavors like North Pole black gold, which is considered the best coffee ice cream ever, and Aurora Borealis, made with real Alaskan blueberries and cranberries. The soft serve in a waffle cone is popular, and the new owners are active on Facebook, posting the flavors available each day. Live music on the patio and highly recommended sundaes make it a favorite spot, especially during summer visits. The friendly staff and reasonably priced, rich, creamy ice cream keep customers coming back, and many appreciate the seasonal reopening after disappointment in past years.

I’ve been to hot licks for my first time visiting family in Alaska in 2019. Then I moved here in 2024 and went every other time they were open in the summer. I love how fresh and homemade the ice cream is and I also love the drink shakes they make.

Great ice cream, they always have and use fresh, real ingredients. The North Pole black gold is the absolute best coffee ice cream ever, the Turkish coffee has a spice at the start and finishes with a rich and creamy coffee taste. They use real Alaskan blue berries and cranberries in their Aurora Borealis flavor as well. Don’t even get me started on their waffle cones! I have been disappointed with Hot licks before, once a year usually, it’s when they close for the season...read full review
