French Licks is located in historic French Lick, Indiana. We offer ice cream, pizza, and coffee with an artisan flare! Our small batch handmade ice cream is offered in the traditional flavors as well as amazing options such as Pecan Pie, Mississippi Mud, and so many more wonderful options. If you aren’t the dessert before the meal kind of person then try a Loaded Baked Potato or Jalapeno Popper Pizza, or just stick to a traditional pepperoni pizza. Don’t forget that perfect craft beer to go with your slice of pie! Now if you just aren’t up to speed yet and need some caffeine we can get you a latte, iced coffee, caramel frappe, or ask us to make your coffee the way you like it! If you aren’t feeling coffee try a Boba tea or hot cocoa.

Absolutely loved this spot! The milkshake was a perfect 10/10—creamy, flavorful, and exactly what I needed to cool off during the summer. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the whole place was spotless.
The location is great, connected to several nice stores, making it a perfect stop during a shopping trip. Parking was a breeze too. I’ll definitely be back!

What a great little place! We had the best pizza in town! We also loved the fun holiday drinks and ice cream specials. Staff was friendly, quick, and hardworking.
Please note: this shop is small!! Come ready to be patient for a table. It’s worth the wait!

Very cool little place. Took me about 5 or 6 minutes to find an employee to take my order, though, once I did and got the food, 100% worth it. I got a Buffalo chicken pizza and it was stupendous. Very cheesy with good Buffalo taste.

Very happy with our visit! They have gluten free crusts for the pizzas, $11 for a 10″ pizza with any toppings. They also have a sorbet on the ice cream side. Beer, coffee, old school sodas, etc. Everything was great. Just freezing cold inside so we ate outside.

We have been to French Lick IN twice now and always stop here. Absolutely love the food and found a love for the S’mores frappe. I had actually taken a really hard fall in Bear Hollow, spilled said coffee all over, knocked something over, got coffee on myself, bruised myself up pretty good during it all. The ladies came rushing over to help, got me ice for my busted up knee, offered to replace my coffee, and helped me clean up with no hesitation. Love this place.

We’ve been going here for pizza and ice cream since they started selling pizza. We’ve absolutely loved it…. Until recently. On three different occasions now, we’ve went and not been greeted when we come in and it seems like we are an inconvenience. I can tell from past reviews, the owner is going to defend their employees behavior. We typically don’t have any issues with the younger girls. They are always very nice, however the older dark haired employees isn’t friendly & makes it seem like we aren’t supposed to be there. At this point, I’m not sure if we’ll continue coming in. It’s been a very uncomfortable feeling the last few times we’ve been in.

Cute little pizza and ice cream shop. Great food and fast service. Loved the items inside for sale by local artists.

I was excited for ice cream, but once I got the the counter it felt I was an inconvenience to staff. Maybe they need people who enjoy their jobs.
Ice cream was good, but the waffle cones are very brittle and break in your hand. All three of us had same issue.
If you’re craving ice cream or coffee this is the place for u.

The food was fantastic but God forbid you have to ask the staff a question. One of the younger gals was super sweet but the tall older blond woman is rude. I asked a simple question about a smoothie I ordered and was told “I don’t have enough hands to carry it all. It’s coming.”
Without tourist, your business wouldn’t be there. ♀️

French Licks Ice Cream & Restaurant isn’t just a pit stop—it’s destination dining with a hometown vibe. The pizzas are a surprise standout: fast, fresh, and wildly creative. The Loaded Baked Potato, Jalapeño Popper, and Cheeseburger pies are personal favorites, but honestly, you can’t go wrong. The pretzels are soft, salty perfection, and the specialty drinks? Absolute fire.
Then there’s the ice cream—rich, creamy, and worth the trip all on its own. The Dark Chocolate Cherry Almond is my #1 pick, but I haven’t had a bad scoop yet. Grab a root beer float or a lemon shake-up if you’re feeling classic.
Tucked right next to the museum and walkable to shops and Larry Bird’s old hangouts, French Licks is the kind of place where locals and visitors mingle over great food and even better desserts. Honorable mention goes to their great coffee and espresso—perfect if you need a pick-me-up before strolling over to the French Lick Resort.
If you’re in town, make it a priority stop.
