Here’s The Scoop Where to chill out with fabulous frosty treats
The Dairy Bar at Traders Point Creamery Scooping up icy delights made with 100% grass-fed milk and cream, the Dairy Bar at Traders Point is a must-stop during any trip to the creamery. Vanilla is TPC’s bestseller, closely trailed by dark chocolate and creamy caramel flavors, any of which are ideal as a sundae base or heavenly atop a slice of homemade pie. Customers swear by the creamery’s milkshakes and fruit smoothies, just-right blended combinations of the best organic products the farm has to offer. The Dairy Bar is open daily from 11am to 5pm; seats tend to get scarce during Friday farmers’ market hours, but shoppers can grab pints to go from the onsite farm store and Loft restaurant.
Lick Since founding Lick in 2010, sisters Kelly Beerbower and Meredith Kong have garnered lots of word-of-mouth buzz for their herb-and-spice-infused artisan ice creams at the Broad Ripple and Indy Winter farmers’ markets (local distributors like MacNiven’s and Eggshell Bistro are just two local establishments that carry the company’s organic products). Creative flavor combinations are where the whole operation shines brightest—think epicurean interminglings like milk chocolate goat cheese, honey lavender, candied pecan gorgonzola and Toffee Wee Mac made with Sun King Scottish ale.
