South Bend Chocolate was honestly a great surprise. From the second you walk in, it smells amazing,…read morechocolate everywhere. They've got a ton of stuff from bars, sweets, pastries, and even popcorn. Easy to get distracted. Staff was really nice and helped me find what I was looking for. I ordered the hot chocolate... just one sip and wow, I already knew. This jumped straight to the number one spot for me. Best hot chocolate I've had in the States, no question. The flavor was deep and full. You get those darker, slightly nutty notes right away, then it settles into this smooth, creamy finish that just stays with you. Every sip hits the same, and it just keeps pulling you back in. The whipped cream on top melts right into it and adds a little extra sweetness without taking away from the chocolate. The whole drink felt like an experience. I even asked how they make it and found out they use actual chocolate bars... makes sense. 100% worth it. And definitely be coming back for more.

My friend surprised me with a trip to the South Bend Chocolate Factory and I was literally like "a…read morekid in a candy store!" If you aren't smiling from ear to ear when you walk in this place then you need some major therapy because this is place is pure sunshine & joy even on a cold winter day! There are so many different types of chocolates, candies, desserts, coffees, hot chocolate, ice cream and little fancies for any kind of sweet tooth. I got the Cherry Jubilee Hot Chocolate which literally tasted like a warm chocolate covered cherry. It was so divine. Perfect for the cold weather. We got a little assortment of goodies which included candied blueberries, candied cherries, old fashioned toffee bars and dark chocolate covered citrus peels. The blueberries were the perfect pop of fruitiness. Who knew such a little thing could have so much flavor and put a huge smile on your face. The cherries were tart and sweet and so delectable. The chocolate covered citrus pill was the perfect flavor combination. I love orange and chocolate. It was such a treat to go there. The service was great. She was so patient with me because I could not make up my mind. There were so many wonderful things there. I saved every little morsel. Can't wait to go back.

They have soooo many flavors of ice cream, any of which can be made into a shake or a malt. They sell pre-packaged ice cream pints or you can order one at the counter. They also have other little goodies available. You can get shakes, waffle cones, waffle bowls, you name it. The 2 staff members were friendly and were quick to let us know we could sample any flavors we liked. I got a Corporate Sensation (classic chocolate) shake since that was what I was craving. My husband got a Magneto (Mackinac fudge) shake. Each came with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry on top and satisfied our sweet tooth on our drive home. Can't wait to stop in again to try another flavor! So many delicious looking seasonal ones.

What a great spot!…read more After an event we wanted a treat and this spot came up on our searches. It had a few spots for parking behind the building and free street parking across the street, but is on a busy road so keep that in mind. It isn't a huge shop but has a ton of options for flavors! There are a few tables and chairs as well as some seats outside. The draw though is all the delicious flavors and even vegan ice cream! Everyone found a fun flavor and were able to enjoy the evening together. I'd definitely go back and try another option as so many good ones. You can request a taster and it was fun to try options before choosing our dish. Yum! A great spot to try some over cream on a hot day!

But sometimes a gluten free and dairy free girl wants a different flavor, you know? Anyway, I'm always served quickly here and with a smile.

I prefer some of the other vegan ice cream spots in town, but still enjoy visiting Lick when I'm over here.

I got the chicken flautas with side of beans and the person I came with got enchilada (chicken, pork, steak) with side of rice. The food was perfect! Hot and fresh and didn't leave us feeling gross afterwards. The salsas brought (red and green) were also really good. I liked mixing the red (spicy) with the green. It feels like a family owned place that takes pride in providing people with quality meals and ice cream. I didn't get a picture of the ice cream, but that also was delicious. If you get the small you can mix flavors. First time I got chocolate and strawberry and this time got a junior size Oreo. It also looks like they rotate flavors which is fun! This place will become a regular spot for sure!
