No chocolate sprinkles
I think it’s a good place, very cool. As long as understand what they are about, you wont be disappointed. They only have 3 flavors and, for whatever reason, no chocolate sprinkles.
kid friendly but not many ice cream flavors
Also kids Cannot use the bathroom.
Very inconvenient for an ice cream candy shoppe. The staff can be a bit nicer as well especially when parents are with their kids.
Lickity Split is a great neighborhood spot for all sorts of frozen treats and candy. The frozen custard is on point & then you can enhance it with various toppings & other additions. The only downside is that it's a small location and gets extremely crowded when more than around six people show up.
False advertising when you ask for my way Sunday you get up charged $1.20 for a 1 scoop. Sign said $4.75 but it’s not that price. No child scoop when you order.
Some of the best ice-cream in town. Great decor. Great service.
I like this place but with the hours they have now, there is no reason for them to be open!
It is terribly sad that they can't be open for more than 6 hours on Saturday and Sunday when they should at least be open from 5PM to 10PM from Wed/Thur to Sunday and maybe they would get some business!
Very tasty custards and variety of sweets.
We used to love Lickity Split. We went often with my kid and my elderly parents, because we could get a table for 4-5 of us to get my folks out of the summer heat. No more. There’s barely enough room for a line of waiting customers, and the focus is on the kitchen business. Their hours also show that they’re no longer interested in walk-in custard customers. They should rename the store to show the new focus. The frozen custard is not really their point any more.
This used to be one of our favorite places to get ice cream locally. As we have done many times in the past, we walked the two miles to Indian Boundary Park, just as an excuse to get some ice cream at Lickity Split on the way back.
But now I guess they think they're a bakery.
Nearly all of the room inside, previously reserved for customers to sit and enjoy their ice cream, has been replaced by workspace for the bakery employees. The remaining customer space is so small, confusing, and poorly laid out that we watched a couple walk in and then just leave.
They pushed their baklava by approaching us and another customer with samples and a strong bit of schmooz -- something that was never part of their approach in the past. According to my wife -- I don't eat the stuff -- it wasn't comparable to authentic baklava like the type you'll find at the Middle East Bakery.
The warm-and-fuzzy, vintage ambiance is almost completely gone, the candy options have been decimated, and there's barely any room to even stand around. There are literally three stools left, with three chairs outside.
We used to watch large groups come in with their kids from baseball games and the like. Because, you know, it was an ice cream shop. Now I have no idea what it is. And I don't think they do either.
I love Lickity! It's my favorite ice cream spot that I've been to since moving to Chicago last year. I always look forward to the concretes and I love the variety of toppings that you can get. This place is a must have if you're on the north side!

They brilliantly decided to make it smaller, less friendly, and harder to get your stuff. And significantly more expensive! I'm looking forward to what foolish idea they have next. Alway ruin a good thing. Oh. And they took away the bathroom. Yeah. no thanks.
