“My girlfriends and I have known Joe for many years- from when he worked at Buck Creek Winery. He is The BEST! Now that I have finally visited the shop 2 days in a row- I know why everyone raves about Heartland. Last night there was a great crew working! The teens were very personable and friendly. They offered us a sample. Everything tasted sooo good. If you know how great Joe is- you won't be surprised that he has a phenomenal group of employees representing his shop. As for the ice cream...my youngest son LOVED the Superman. I chose Cornbread and Coffee Cookie. Sooooo good! You HAVE to try the Cornbread ice cream! It is the most unique, delicious ice cream ever! I had to get it again today. My oldest son came this time and he sampled Cornbread. He liked it so much- that is what he ordered, too! The Cookies and Cream is also to die for! I love how easy it is to sign up for the rewards program. We also loved how many options we had to choose from on the menu. If I can ever tear myself away from the Cornbread ice cream- I would like to try the Italian Ice. It was great to see you today, Joe! What a wonderful business you are building. I'm sending Nikki in STAT! lol. My boys and I highly recommend Heartland. Looking forward to visiting again soon....“

At the end of the night all the Moo and Lou cookies were gone and Taylor's bakery ones remained. Taylor's sets the bar high and Moo and Lou is right up there with them! Check out this cute place in Lawrence right on the Fort.“

“My friends and I were in Indianapolis for an anime convention. After we ate at an Italian restaurant, we decided to stop by a local ice cream shop to get some ice cream. When we got there, there was a Jamaican themed party going on. Just everyone (staff and the community) having a great time. We got our ice cream and oh my goodness, it is definitely one of THE BEST ice creams I’ve had in a long time. (I had their cookie dough ice cream). The manager or owner (I’m not sure, very nice lady) came up and handed me a coupon for buy one get one free scoop. Her and her staff offered us some Jamaican food to have, but with being so full from dinner and their delicious ice cream, we had to decline. Amazing vibes, amazing ice cream. You’ll definitely see me again when I come back to Indianapolis. Thank you!“

FYI: Bubble tea is a Taiwanese tea-based drink invented in Tainan and Taichung in the 1980s. Recipes contain tea of some kind, flavors of milk, as well as sugar. Toppings, such as chewy tapioca balls, popping boba, fruit jelly, grass jelly, agar jelly, and puddings are often added.“
