if the picture of the banana split doesn’t speak volumes, ill say a bit more - delicious custard. went on a saturday night an hour before close and the line was out the door (i understand why). line went quick and our custard was ready quick too. staff is friendly, prices are fair, plus they are very allergen friendly ! (just let them know). place has a good amount of seating and doubles as a candy store. i’ll be around here frequently.

This place is like time travel! I love the retro look, the million candy options, the funky decoration and all. The vanilla custard is amazing! (It’s also gluten free!!) The staff is also super sweet. I’m definitely coming back.

This is a gem and a perfect place for this gem. The custard and concrete mixer was great!! The chocolate was just so/ so imo, only got almond bark and a smore but Mr Kites in Ukrainian village is better with their homemade chocolates. This place has a great variety of candy from the past and present and a whole little section of different pops which include a bacon-flavored pop lol

I felt like a kid in a candy store 😉! Fantastic candy shop, so many interesting options, it’s almost magical. The staff was so nice. I got an amaretto truffle, which was good. I also got the Fruity Pebbles white chocolate bar, and mango mochi, both a delight! When I’m back in the neighborhood I’ll go back to try some more.

I love the frozen custard, but they have forgotten to make the order of someone in my group two out of three visits. We wait, then the staff is doing nothing and we ask and they respond without any real apology and fill the order. Last time, I *thought* the girl who took my order was making my order but it turned out she was just making a little something for herself. Oh, both these orders were just scoops on a cone, nothing complicated.

Great custard
Had the grasshopper custard. So refreshing. Love the candy and soda choices. Just about everything you can imagine. Owner and staff very friendly. Well worth the trip. A must go to if you're in Chicago

Pleasant place that's like walking back in time. It's frozen custard with a few flavor options but a large selection of toppings. Lots of candy options for all generations. Great after dinner activity for individuals, couples or families. Fun for everyone!

This place is just incredible. Decorated like an old fashioned candy/ice cream parlor, it's like a dream. Frozen custard is beyond incredible, and the staff are great. Partner loves nuts, and instead of trying to put them on his scoop, they put them in a lid so he could dip and eat - he was so happy. My turtle was fabulous - I only thought to take pic after I hard started on it. While we were sitting enjoying our treats, a manager took 10 minutes to help a gentleman find hard candy to substitute for his smoking habit. Place is such a wonderful treat, just what we needed after a bad morning.

Update - went for the second time and had the Banana Split. So yum!
Loved this place. So many options to chose from. I got one of their custom sundaes (turtle) and loved it.

This place is just awesome. Vintage/retro look and feel. The custard ice cream is delicious. There is a wide selection of other goodies, like cupcakes, candies and very interesting soda flavors.

Way too expensive!!! The cupcakes were dry and absolutely nothing fancy for the almost $4 pricetag per cupcake. I could have done better with a Betty Crocker mix at home. The "nostalgic" candy was old and stale. The Tootsie Roll mix was rock hard. For the outrageous price of $4.95 per HALF pound...almost $10 for a full pound...I would have thought the candy could have been fresh at the bare minimum. Moral of this story: Don't be fooled by this quaint-looking store in the heart of Edgewater. The prices are outrageous and the quality is low. You would be better ordering online or shopping at another specialty neighborhood candy shop.

so nostalgic! walking in and smelling the sweet aroma of custards, chocolates, and other sweets.. bring me back to the good ol' days! old fashioned style milkshake shop, assortment of old school candies and sodas, homemade chocolate and trufflesssss. must-go!

The custard is great. The space is nostalgic. The amount of time it takes to place your order is deplorable. Waiting over 30 minutes because the line is out the door and only one person is taking orders is frustrating. Thankfully once your order is placed your frozen treat will appear lightening fast.
Brian Bradley
Great place, very nostalgic with the old candy and the custard was great. Had the Rambler Raspberry and it was great with caramel sauce and cone pieces mixed in! We will be back!
Bradley Thomas
Such a treat---literally! The staff is great, the atmosphere amazing and the selections plentiful! So glad to have this business in the neighborhood!

Lickety Split is my favorite ice cream shop in Chicago. The ice cream is always delicious and it always has an awesome variety of treats. It's great for date night, and I always take my family or friends when they visit me!
Lynda Webb
What a cute shop full of great sweets! This is my first time in Chicago and Lickity Split will be a place I'll come back to every time I'm in town!
Terence O'Rourke
Five star review for free custard. They haven't offered me free custard for this review. But the fact that I would rate them 5 stars for the mere possibility that I would get free custard in spite of them never offering this -- that should tell you how much I love this place.
Sean Engesser
Great custard in a relaxed comfortable space. It's the perfect neighborhood hangout.
Kelly Burns
This is a must go to place if you're ever in Edgewater, it has the best custard ice cream I've ever had.
