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.

I'm very hit-and-miss when it comes to this neighborhood. As a wheelchair user, I tend to require…read morelots of space and pretty close to an ironclad guarantee that when I'm done I can get back into my car. Yet, I drive by this location of LiftOff Creamery nearly every single work day as this has been my go-to route for work. So, the basics: LiftOff Creamery is a locally owned shop. It's a central Indiana mini-chain with locations here, Irvington, and Greenwood. They have a strong belief in mentoring and empowering youths with entrepreneurial skills and opportunities. If you think these opportunities are just about ice cream, think again. If you can't guess, LiftOff also has an aviation theme and a partnership with the National Aviation Youth Resources Foundation. The entrepreneurship here is about equipping young folks to dream, engage, and grow their skills. Then, there is actually the ice cream. 70-90 flavor options with a myriad of ways to work with those flavors. For the most part, LiftOff sources ingredients locally. One word - delish. Parking around this building (they are in a first-floor retail spot in the Penn Arts building) can be a little tricky. There are street spots for sure, though they don't work super well for a wheelchair. The ones on Pennsylvania Avenue are a bit better. There's also a residential area that tends to work well. You do have to be a bit careful as some of the residential areas are particular including the actual Penn Arts apartments. I got lucky and saw a really wheelchair friendly spot. I knew that it was my sign to finally stop. I did. The curb-cuts here are decent. The glass door isn't bad. The entryway is level to the ground. The interior is fine. Truthfully, I've always been surprised that LiftOff has stayed here. However, it very much feels like part of the neighborhood. LiftOff has traditional flavors, creative flavors, a rewards program, vegan options, seasonal flavors, and a nice selection of topping options. I'm inclined to go 4-stars instead of 5-stars primarily because of the difficult accessibility, however, I'd also say it's worth the effort. This neighborhood always feels harder for parking than it really is. With Loudmouth Books within walking distance, this little corner is for sure worth the stop. Like ice cream? Like kids? You'll like LiftOff Creamery.

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.

My hubby had heard about it being a taco shop and we were excited to try it out. Went in, nothing majorly special. It is a small diner that is constantly filled with customers.

PROS: Easy access and parking Menus at the front/easy to pick one up, order at the counter Food is excellent CONS: Smaller sitting area, but I have not had issues with seating Just go in, get a taco and thank me later!
