This place is located at a food hall called Fork Forty with other multiple restaurants inside. There are lots of tables and chairs to choose from and there's also a bar inside which is where the bathrooms are located. This place is vegan friendly as well with unique flavors like cherry pistachio. I'm not a cherry fan but I will say, that flavor was pretty good and same goes with the coffee one. I got one of the specials that they put together which was Horchata ice cream with marshmallows, I felt like she could have added more marshmallows ( got only 3 small pieces) because it was a great pair. Overall, would come again! read more

Lovely lady! She was super friendly and let us taste all the icecream (sometimes twice) before making a decision. My husband and I both got nondairy options. He got the one scoop chocolate oreo and I got a two scoop with pineapple coconut and strawberry basil. The icecream was sooooo fluffy and creamy. It made me very happy and my husband and I had a great time sitting outside enjoying our icecream. I would recommend this place to anyone! Don't let the Yelp reviews full of negative experiences stop you from at least trying this place. read more

Great place for VEGAN ice cream inside the fork forty food hall. Most their ice creams are egg-free, and half are also dairy-free, so many vegan options. Not many places have creamy vegan ice creams, using coconut milk. The girls are nice and offered lots of samples. read more

DONT BELIEVE THE PICTURES It is just regular scooped icecream. The pictures make it look like specialty, creative things like black cones and crazy toppings. I guess that's gone because this is basically a kiosk at a shopping mall with extremely limited normal super average icecream. It was ok. read more

Service was amazing, they offered us samples of whatever we wanted to try. Homemade ice cream that is absolutely delicious and the perfect balance of sweet. Environment is upbeat and the shop is located in the Fork Hall. read more

Fun spot! Friendly service! Good ice cream! Samples are given and they had cups and both chocolate and regular waffle Cones. They offer different toppings, sizings and add ons like fresh peanuts and more. Come support this local spot and check it out! Unique location with multiple food options inside! Thank you Slick Licks read more

Do you know how hard it is to find ice cream that doesn't have artificial flavors or bad oils, that actually tastes amazing!? Well Slick Licks is amazing! The vegan options taste sooo good and the person working their was extremely knowledgeable. We had lots of questions about ingredients and she knew what was in each item. Definitely will be back. Thank you! read more

I walk up to the counter and order a small brown sugar vanilla with waffle cone and the woman behind the counter asks which cone? Looking over at my choices I pick the bright orange waffle cone that must be packed with enough food coloring to make the most virile man sterile. It's flavored orange dreamsicle I'm told. Moments later my ice cream cone arrives and honesty it looks amazing. I take a bite and after a few seconds feel let down. My mixed emotions about soft serve ice cream kick in. Why can't this be a proper frozen custard? I ask myself. It would be so much better. All in all I wish this place would make exquisite custard instead of concentrating on all the gimmicky toppings and flavored waffle cones. Just get the basics right. EDIT: My comments above are in regards to the blandness of the vanilla ice cream that more egg yolk and possibly a more interesting vanilla flavor would help. I couldn't even discern the sugar is brown sugar in the ice cream, it lacks any depth. I've tasted exquisite vanilla ice cream and custard and this ice cream is far from it. I know where to find good custard, thank you. read more

I got the smores stacker and I was a bit disappointed. The chocolate ice cream was okay, but the graham crackers was just like dust and the marshmallows were just basic ones out of a bag, dry and stale. Rather they used marshmallow cream topping instead. Overall, friendly staff, but the overall product was disappointing and a bit pricy for what you get! read more

This ice cream is house made! It is so delicious!! The owner is a sweetheart and has phenomenal customer service! It sits in fork 40 which is a super cool place with lots of different food to try! read more

They say it's small batch made ice cream. Only two of the ice creams were made with milk. The other flavors were oat milk, which I normally like. I thought the flavors tasted off. We got a small ice cream with a topping. We left with the ice cream. When we started eating it we realized the center was vacant. The swirl stacked and made a hole in the center. So we only got less of the ice cream. read more

I love this places!!! So good, you gotta stop by! They have fun flavors and toppings! You should get the charcoal cone too! The staff is always nice and gives our samples! Great place for dessert in downtown Salem! Try it! read more

Heard about this place through a friend. Definitely luxury ice cream so bring your wallet. The chocolate ice cream and toasted coconut is great! Been here quite a few times and the girl with the cool style and rainbow hair is the best! read more

Staff was super nice and patient. Fun flavors and had almost half made with oat milk. I had a milkshake with the chocolate ice cream, and it was good but a little pricey. Definitely fun and worth a try though. read more

The people here are not very friendly. That's not negativity. It's a fact. Never got a "hello" and usually I had to stand and wait because no one was behind the counter. Went last time with my husband and saw the woman go outside and just stand there on the phone so we waited a few minutes and left. The flavors are okay. Nothing mind-blowing. In all honesty I got a pint of ice cream at Roth's that was better and cheaper than the double at Slick Licks. ‍ The less-than-great flavors and shitty service are not a good combo. You have to acknowledge your customers and realize that their business keeps you in business. Otherwise people will go elsewhere. read more

Yummy ice cream. It doesn't look like much, but all their flavors were good: mint and chip-pistachio-vanilla. I'll be back to try the other flavors. read more

Took forever (over 20 minutes) with a small line. That's on the management to staff them better. After my 20 minute wait I was finally told they were out of Bananas. Is there a Banana shortage now? That's pretty basic for 1pm to be out of. Let down #2. At that point I was banking on the shake to bring home a 4 star becuase of the wait but that wasn't happening. Nope. I got a Fruitty Pebbles shake and it wasn't even mixed well. I came to the conclusion most of what they have are over priced vanilla ice cream smoothies with breakfast cereals. Big let down. 1 star is hard and you almost got it. Edit for the owner: I never ordered a "freeze". I ordered a Banana shake first and a fruity pebble shake to replace it. Sounds like it was rung up wrong. Hopefully I was at least charged correctly. Since there was no contact information for the owner I couldn't reach out. read more

I wound up here after a recommendation from a friend, to treat my daughter and niece after a hard days work. The menu was reminiscent of Grease, with flavors named Pink Ladies Cherry and Bananny Zuko Split, but the experience and flavor didn't live up to the hype. My daughter (lactose intolerant) was able to enjoy Rizzo Raspberry, but the Oreo toppings we paid extra for ended up on the floor. She said it tasted more like a Pina Colada coconut than raspberry. We waited for the ice cream machine to cooperate for my niece's 'Tell Me S'more' in a cup, which turned out to be chocolate sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs (nothing special). Kenickie Dough had a weird aftertaste that I couldn't get past. Overall, they have great ideas, but need to work on their product. I paid $15 for 3 ice creams and left wishing we'd stopped at 31 flavors. P.S. It would be a good idea to have a trash can next to an outside eating area. read more

Really as an owner these responses need to be thought out before actually being so rude... that's all I need just to make my mind up on wether or not I'm gonna try your places. Maybe consider not shaming everyone for their reviews and just kindly asking them what can I do to help make it right? I had a situation only once with with a restaurant and guess what girl, she was so kind that I went back and the food was even better than expected. So my review changed to 5 stars all the way. Belittling those reviewers is only gonna take your business down. Maybe you could learn a little something something from this. Good luck on your business lady... and best wishes on taking helpful and constructive criticism. I'm really turned off by your customer service. So I'll never meet ya read more

I really want to love this place, but it's getting harder and harder. My first visit, around October last year, was AMAZING. There were Halloween flavors that were shockingly accurate to the candy bars they were imitating. The cones were a little crispy, a little chewy, and soft. So delicious! The charcoal cones were just as good. Since then, it seems like the business is becoming a little stale. I've been there around 10 times, and it's like my experience is worse every time. For a while, they would be randomly closed on weird days, inconsistently. I can understand that a small business might not have super regular hours, but there needs to be a way for customers to know! I knew that this was a pattern so I checked Yelp and their website to see if they were open. Both sites said they were open, but when I go? Nope! It's not unprofessional to be closed sometimes, it IS to not let customers know. I went a few days ago, after a few months not going, and I was insanely disappointed. The woman working at the front didn't seem friendly or polite at all. We asked her about her favorite flavors, she said she only liked the vanilla. When we asked her about the Teacher's Pet (Apple flavor) she told us it didn't really taste like apple. She didn't seem to like the ice cream she was serving, and was definitely not selling it well to patrons. We found out that the cones aren't made in house anymore, which is pretty sad. They're just crunchy now, like any other cone. The lemon flavor (I forgot the name) was really delicious though! Super tart and delicious! The animal cracker machine was broken, but I can't fault the shop for that. Another thing about Slick Licks is the owner. If you look at her responses to criticism, you can tell she doesn't have any respect for people who put money in her pocket. If she's this rude to customers in Yelp, do you think she's treating her employees well? Even if she is kind to her workers, is someone who harasses a customer at the drop of a hat really worth your money? I'm starting to think no. read more

Wow I'm super disappointed. First of all when we walked in we weren't greeted at all. Then she came abs said in front of us as we were looking at the flavors. Then she says that's last months, look above you for this months. There were 6 flavors, none of which i was interested in. Vanilla, chocolate, coffee, macadamia, guava, coconut. My son picked chocolate with a chocolate cone. There were only 5 toppings to choose from. She got his ice cream, charged me for the middle size, and the ice cream barely covered the cone. For $7 i would expect some ice cream. I was really glad i didn't pick anything for myself. I'm heading to baskin robins now for a real ice cream cone. Only go to this place if you want to be ripped off while they disappoint you. Id post a picture but my son was done with the ice cream in less than a minute. It was so tiny. We won't be back. read more

Not worth the price, especially for how icy the soft serve is. It was as though soft serve was left in a freezer long enough to get freezer burn. Get a McFlurry instead. read more

Good ice cream, very slick, very lick. I like ice cream, and let's be honest, you like ice cream. This place is good.

Based off my own experience and the experiences of others this place is just terrible, not to mention they have 4 health code violations, one of which includes CROSS CONTAMINATION. As a culinary student about to graduate it is disgusting you even stayed open with something like that. Cross contamination is a serious problem that can and will kill many innocent people. Not only that but the staff is rude, especially the owner with her passive aggressive replies in store and online. It's so you know Yelp is for reviewing the ENTIRE BUSINESS not just the bland ice cream. Why go somewhere with mediocre food when they have shitty staff? If I go to a business I want a great meal/treat with great staff. Not one or the other. Do better. Also the pandemic excuse is old, it's been over a year. If it's too hard then maybe you should shut down and get a new job. read more

Ice cream is delicious, an I love how the owner stands up for herself and her business. To everyone saying she is rude for that, how would you feel being a small business owner having people complain over the wrong products? Things she doesn't even serve. Leave your negative comments to yourself. read more

Sweet people, sweet ice cream. They always have a good selection and have improved on many levels over the past year. No matter the weather, I will continue to support this local scratch made ice cream shop even in the cold!! read more

Been here a couple of times now, flavors change every so often so ive tried a few of their creations. Not sure what the change schedule is for sure but i know the flavors change. Great ice-cream, scratch made so it doesn't taste like a bunch of syrups and extracts. Definitely my shop of choice with all of the choices; cones, shakes, stackers, toppings, and more. read more

very good 10/10 recommend I got the stacker thing that was basically all peanut butter it was so good
