If you ask 10 different people what Indianapolis is best known for, and you’re likely to get 10 different answers. We have two major league sports clubs, several museums, and the world’s largest single-day sporting event in the Indy 500 – in addition to great shopping and world-class eating. What you may not know, however, is that the ice cream here is as diverse as it is delicious, and you need to try it for yourself to believe it.
5 of the Best Ice Cream Places in Indianapolis
1. Circles
It’s been described as the best in the world, likely because you’re getting more than a creamy, frozen treat. The offerings here are confections, as demonstrated by the Blueberry Muffin flavor made with muffin batter ice cream, blueberry jam, and a streusel topping.
The menu changes with the season so you get to try fresh and ever-evolving recipes. Order your favorite pick – such as Passion Fruit Lemon Bar or Peanut Butter Cookie – for delivery straight to your door or by request at your event; you can also find Circles at pop-ups in and around the city.
2. Wyliepalooza
Born of a conversation between a mother and daughter, this family-owned emporium marries fun with ice cream, two elements that naturally go hand-in-hand. You’ll find more than 60 flavors, including Key Lime Pie and Espresso, three Italian ice flavors, three sherbet choices, and seven non-dairy soy options. Even as they rave about the customer service, Wyliepalooza visitors often describe the treats here as “absolutely delicious.”
3. Teejay’s Sweet Tooth
This Indy hot spot is on a mission: to change the way you think about, look at, and enjoy a frozen treat. And to prove this, it’s home to the only donut and Fruity Pebble Treat sandwich in town. You can also indulge in the donut sandwich, warm brownie sundae, and milkshakes with edible rims. Other specialties include:
• Floats
• Sorbet slushees
• Sundaes
• Scoops
4. Sundae’s
It doesn’t get much better than locally sourced, handmade frozen treats, and that’s exactly what Sundae’s offers. Their innovative flavors have won multiple awards, and with more than 30 years of experience in this industry, they continue to push the envelope with still bolder concoctions. From Banana Brownie and Wild Mountain Blackberry to Red Velvet and Sticky Chewy Chocolate, there’s an option for everyone.
5. Square Scoop
The sweet treats at Square Scoop are vast; in addition to locally homemade dessert, you’ll find a variety of candies from past and present and old-fashioned sodas. And the flavors rotate so customers never get bored. On any given day, the menu might feature Graham Central Station (a customer favorite), Coffee Toffee, and Lavender; the traditional players like chocolate and vanilla also hold court here.
