Melting? Here is the best ice cream in Indy

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — With July just around the corner, and summer already officially here, who doesn’t think about a big dish or cone of ice cream on these 90+ degree days? News 8 staff loves ice cream and we often discuss the best ice cream shops in Indy.

Whether it’s a double-scoop of mint chocolate chip, or a dish of sweet cream vanilla, Indianapolis is no stranger to the incredible tase of summer goodness that is ice cream.

From Linder’s Dairy, who opened in 1929 and boasted 100 flavors, to the modern-day Indy Ice Cream Trail, Indianapolis is serious about their ice cream.

While our neighbors to the east may rely on a questionable combination of black raspberry and chocolate chip, our town embraces a wider spectrum of frozen dairy deliciousness.

Yelp and Stacker recently compiled the best places for ice cream in the circle city, using customer ratings and reviews to rate the best of the best.
