Wyliepalooza Ice Cream Emporium

A family favorite. Every time we go we try something new. Staff is really nice. And prices are great too. Love going there with my kids.

Many flavors to choose from. The split scoop allows you to try 2 flavors. I had coconut almond bliss and salted caramel. Yum! My husband had peppermint stick and mint chocolate chip. The old fashioned sundaes looked delish. Would recommend. Note that they close at 8 pm on Sunday. Not 9 as listed.

I’ve been having a tough time with some things lately and didn’t especially feel like going anywhere yesterday, but a kind friend dragged me out of the house and treated me to some ice cream here last night.
Wyliepalooza sits in a nice little mini mall in Brownsburg. It is surrounded by lots of other quaint businesses such as a dog bakery, a dry cleaners/​formal wear store, and a gourmet popcorn shop. Those places were closed this time of night, but there were quite a few people at a nice looking pizza place a couple doors down and a bar across the parking lot. I would like to return and see about those establishments as well sometime.
There were a few patrons out front, sitting at tables enjoying their frozen treats and a few kids and a couple inside ordering ice cream when we arrived. We didn’t wait long and were greeted by a pleasant girl working the counter.
I was interested in the dairy-​free options they have. There weren’t as many to choose from as I had seen on their list of flavors online, but they did have at least five or six vegan items. The young lady kindly said we could try anything we wanted before choosing a flavor. I tried the Carrot Mango and decided to get a Wylie scoop of that. It was like a sherbet and was very good. My friend didn’t care for it, but did enjoy a scoop of regular ice cream in Butter Pecan, I believe it was. I’d like to try the soy raspberry that I saw online. Among the dairy-​free choices were Italian Ice and a Peanut Butter ice cream.
They had different bowl sizes such as the kiddie, junior scoop, Wylie scoop and upwards in size. You can also buy whole pints, etc. The Wylie Scoop was a pretty generous portion and just the right amount for me. And at $ 3.50 a very good price as well. There were also a few different cones to choose from, including a pretzel cone that I have never seen before. I sort of wished I had gotten the waffle cone, but might go for that next time.
I didn’t take a real close look at everything they had to offer, but they did seem to have quite a large selection of flavors as well as other drinks and food. Near the dairy-​free flavors was a Blueberry Cheesecake ice cream that caught my eye. I would have gladly sampled that if I consumed dairy. The green tea ice cream got my attention, too. If I remember correctly, they also have some gluten-​free things that I saw on their website.
The store is brightly lit with lots of little colorful tables in turquoise, etc. It was quite muggy outside and I enjoyed having a cool treat in the air conditioning. There was a neat vintage pin ball machine on display. I don’t think you can play it, but it was cool to look at. I also saw giant lollipops for sale and huge Willy Wonka pixie sticks. Gave me a bit of a sense of childhood nostalgia. I bet kids absolutely love this place, but it is fun for us adults, too, and wasn’t crowded or crawling with screaming children or anything.
The only negatives I would have is that the restroom layout was a little odd and wasn’t spic and span, but I was grateful that they had facilities for customers. There was a sign instructing employees to wash their hands, but there was no hand soap in there that I could see. I luckily had hand sanitizer on me. The ice cream spoons are also really deep and a little sharp on the edges, but I made due and liked the hot pink color that seemed to go well with the rest of the décor.
Upon leaving, the girls behind the counter acknowledged us and we were thanked and told to have a good night in a very friendly manner. I am not often waited on by such friendly people. In fact, I usually assume teenagers will be unattentive and not really care about customer service, but these young ladies surprised me and reminded me not to make assumptions. Top notch service. I was also glad they were open late, til 10 pm, though I am not sure those are their hours every day nor year-​round. All in all, a really nice little place that I will be returning to. I am glad I can go to an ice cream parlor again with my dietary choices.

Best ice cream ice ever had… And I’ve had a lot! They have so many unique flavors that I have never seen anywhere else. Zoreo is my personal favorite but the munchie madness is great too! They switch up flavors as well so there is always something new to try!

We first had ice cream from Wyliepalooza at the Unilocal Paints the Town Red earlier this year. When we found out they had a Brownsburg location (just 2 towns north of us), we knew we were going to have to visit.
First, a disclaimer: **Wyliepalooza does not make their own icecream.** They serve Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream, which in my opinion is The Best commercially available hand-​dip ice cream. It’s amazing. While Wyliepalooza doesn’t make their ice cream, they invest energy & creativity into designing AWESOME sundae, shake, & boba tea options.
Ice cream is a rare treat for us, but when we feel like eating ice cream, we pass at least 20 other places that sell/​serve it, to drive to the far northside of Hendricks county to have ice cream at Wyliepalooza. One time, we were even on the Northeast side of town running errands, decided we wanted ice cream, and drove to Wyliepalooza on the way home (instead of trying 1 of 900 options on that side of town). We. Like. Wyliepalooza.
While we normally just settle for a «Junior Scoop» of icecream (single, more like a double), we vow that one day we will try one of the amazing looking sundaes. My favorite ice creams are the Zanzibar Chocolate (amazing dark chocolate ice cream) & the «$#!+ Just Got Serious» which is a salty, chocolatey, caramel’y concoction of deliciousness. I pay an extra $ 0.50 «split fee» and get my Junior Scoop split between those 2 flavors when they are both available. They also frequently have green tea ice cream, which is also delicious.
Tip#1: Sometimes, if you go at the beginning of the week when it is hot outside, they will have less flavors to choose from. Their delivery day is like Monday or Tuesday, and sometimes they run low on stock.
Tip #2: On one of the ice cream freezers, they have a list of which flavors are gluten free.
Tip #3: They normally have at least 4 – 5 flavors of dairy free ices or soy ice creams for those who can’t eat or don’t want to eat traditional cream based ice cream.
Tip #4: They use Square for their cash register. If you use the same debit/​credit card for 10 purchases, you get a coupon (make sure to have it email your receipts to you so you can keep track!)

If I had to sum this place up in a single sentence, it would be: good ice cream flavors done well.
The flavors depart just enough from the usual selection to grab and hold your interest, but they are close enough to standard to satisfy even a picky palate.
The staff was friendly and accommodating with respect to trying different flavors. And there are certainly plenty to choose from.
The price is good too; you get a sizable portion for the price. And the option to split between two flavors is always welcome. Although there is a small up charge.
It is a little hard to find in its strip mall local. Although there is a sign, it just didn’t stand out for whatever reason.

I tried the mixed up one, it had cake and candy pieces in it.
It was good, quite fantastic actually. Just a little disappointed when I finished it, as there wasn’t any left.
The only con (and the subtraction of a star) is the price. It can become steep when you have multiple orders. The ice cream is good quality, but by the time you order 3 orders, you could have a gallon size tub from Meijer.
«Quality over quantity» right? Unless your broke.
Despite the price, if your in the area, and have no problem with pricy ice cream, stop by and give them a go. Most flavors are delicious.

Walked in to see the ice cream flavors. Dude asked if we wanted to try any and was very attentive and followed us to make sure we were helped. Nice setting and mood overall. Clean restroom. Chill atmosphere.

Wylie’s is awesome! We googled for nearby ice cream and hit the flavor jackpot! The staff was so wonderful. It was really busy but they still took the time to let our kids sample a couple of different flavors. They were so friendly and genuinely helpful. My husband and I had the caffeinated espresso ice cream and it was the best I’ve had. Kids all had Superman sundaes and we’re thrilled. Overall just a great experience. This is actually a business that deserves a five star Unilocal rating. Thanks Wylie’s!

Wow — what a great place! Excellent variety of flavors and you can taste any you’d like! Fresh made, friendly staff… worth a stop!

Amazing ice cream! So many creative choices. I am never disappointed. A few favorites are This Just Got Serious (salted caramel with fudge and cashews), fat Elvis (banana ice cream with fudge and peanut butter), peanut butter cookie dough, and caramel apple pie.

Long road trip … end of Spring Break … we promised the kids some Ice Cream but wanted to find something a little different and not the standard chains — Enter Wyliepalooza! Did some digging along on Unilocal along our Route and up pops this place … Unilocal didn’t let us down at lunch so why not!!! We hop off the highway and follow Waze into a parking lot … turn right, turn left — OK Waze you’re making the kids cranky they want their ice cream … stop look around ah must have meant my other left … Nestled on the west/​southwest end of the lot there is this easy to miss sign among the others.
Lots of flavor options and good ice cream! Tried some samples … everyone was pleased with their selections. We stayed basic this trip with just the ice cream but after reviewing all the options on the wall while we enjoyed our treat — we will be back to check out some more options next time we are passing by Brownsburg. Oh and on top of it — the staff was awesome! Very helpful in explaining various items on the menu I had never heard of, making recommendations and just being friendly.
Take more chances getting away from the chains and get off the highway more folks or you won’t catch the gems like this place!

My husband and I stumbled upon this place this summer, we didn’t even really know it was in Brownsburg until I saw reviews on Unilocal.It is not the easiest thing to spot, it is in the same parking lot area as Pit Stop and Chase. I knew there was another location downtown but had never been there.
So glad we found this location in Brownsburg, it was super hot and I wanted ice cream. This place is delicious! We were blown away by how good the sundae we split was. We got the smores sundae with the Zanzibar ice cream. Awesome. If ice cream were healthier, I’d go here often, haha.
They do have other menu items and we split a bubble tea, it was pretty good. I am definitely pleased to have found a place that not only has outstanding ice cream but has bubble tea!
Will I be judged for visiting here now that it is cold out?

I love this place. It’s fun and festive and some of the best ice cream I’ve had. There are so many flavors to choose from it’s almost overwhelming, but fear not! They will happily hand you tiny spoonfuls of frozen goodness to sample until you’re able to decide. (I highly recommend the ‘Yippee Skippee’ or the ‘Kitty Kitty Bang Bang’.)
And don’t expect the employees to have the same level of disinterest you expect from the big royal ice cream chain down the street. Wyliepalooza is typically staffed with friendly, helpful young people who seem to do a great job of quickly filling and ringing out orders.
It is a bit small and if it’s busy you might not have a place to sit, but I can look past that. I mean… it’s still ice cream, even if I have to stand to eat it!

We’ve lived in Brownsburg for 13 years and pretty much just had DQ and (more recently) OL. Those other options are okay, but they are in a different ball park compared to Wyliepalooza! We love this place and my little girl loves going there after swimming occasionally. I love the Zoreo and my daughter loves the Dark Side of the Moon.

I posted another review but it went to another location…
This is my favorite ice cream place in town. They have 40+ different unique types of hand scoop ice screams all at decent prices, the kiddie scoop fills me up and it is $ 1.75. They also have grilled cheese, hot dogs, coffee drinks and bubble tea.
My only complaint is that it is a small location so when it is busy it is cramped I there and there is no place to sit.

I don’t know what a Wyliepalooza is but I like the fact that I live close to one. They have a great variety of things to try here and enjoy. It was clean an I liked the kooky décor inside. Pinball machine. that’s cool. Spanish Star Wars posters. that’s cool. Can I purchase one? May I sample all of the flavors?
The staff seemed friendly and polite. I’ve been here twice in three weeks.
I hope this place sticks around for a long while because I have two young children and I can always think of a reason to go get ice cream.

After living in bigger cities, bubble tea is hard to come by in Indy. This is what mainly drew me into trying this place. But I was pleasantly surprised that they also serve halo-​halo, which is a popular Filipino dessert. I usually only come across this delicious dessert in L.A., and their version is pretty good.
The taro bubble tea flavor was really good, but I’ve had better Thai tea flavored bubble tea. The rose flavor was different in a good way. The ice-​cream selection is also unique and I wanted to try them all. The service was great as well. I am definitely going to be a regular here, and I’m glad I found Wyliepalooza through Unilocal

I had a bubble tea and purchased a 4″ birthday cake for my love. The cookie dough ice cream and brownie cake was absolutely perfect – 5 stars. A bit on the pricey side at $ 8 but very tasty, great texture, and a great size for 2 people to split. The tea itself was very tasty – I had the Thai iced tea flavor. However, the bubbles were not the right texture. They were hard, not chewy. I believe this means they were undercooked. They were also stuck together so they were hard to get through the straw. 3 stars for the tea. Nice, thoughtful employees who even put my ice cream cake on ice so it wouldn’t melt, and super cute décor. Did you know this place also sells retro toys and has a pinball machine? I look forward to trying more flavors of the ice cream in the future.
It’s in the same strip mall as Pit Stop BBQ and would be easy to miss from the road.

Wylepalooza has been opened for a week now with this being her 2^nd store. Cute store, friendly staff, large selection of ice cream, many types of coffee, bubble tea, individual cakes and ice cream sandwiches. The layout works well with seating in front of store and additional seating at a counter/​bar area. The pinball machine is a wonderful addition to the space.
Family friendly atmosphere appealing to all ages. The staff consists mostly of young adults which made me pause then after interacting with them I realized the owner had selected well. All were polite, friendly, smiling and truly enjoying their job. We will definitely be back to explore more of the menu. Great additional to this area of Brownsburg.
