LICK

Hooray, an ice cream parlor that makes tasty, creamy ice cream without eggs (only one flavor contains eggs). Their Butter Brickle is absolutely the best I ever had. It’s buttery, with yummy toffee bits — oh so satisfying. As an ice cream parlor, Lick has a pleasant vibe.

Came here twice during a short weekend getaway to Hudson, NY. The Lavender Ice Cream is amazing with the fresh Waffle cone. If you enjoy Lavender, this is definitely worth getting. The Waffle cone was very fresh and crunchy. Also tried the Mint Summer Night’s Dream which is a mint chocolate ice cream with a pretzel cone. The Pretzel cone was different and a bit salty offsetting the sweetness of the ice cream which gave of a sweet/​salty taste. If you don’t prefer the sweet/​salty taste, stick to the waffle cone. Must visit when in Hudson.

Don’t miss out on lick while in Hudson. Their hand crafted ice creams are to die for. They were so delicious in fact, that we went twice in one day. We especially loved the staff here, because when we went back a second time, we accidentally did so like five minutes after close (generally we don’t like to be those jerks). They opened back up just for us, because they knew that from our earlier visit it was my husband’s birthday. We thought this was just so darn nice. The dirty snowman flavor was our favorite, and we especially loved eating it in a pretzel cone.

It is a tiny shop, but they have a lot of flavors and options. I had two scoops of the sweet cream & fig. I can’t stop thinking about it.

Visited on a 90 degree day and had a refreshing and delicious smoothie. They were friendly and we enjoyed our treats inside. Thank you for your great service. We will be back soon!

Given the dozens of times we’ve been to Hudson you’d think I would’ve tried this by now. But we hadn’t so when we needed to appease our sweet tooth this seemed like a fine choice.
Some creative flavors such as the lavender ice cream which was nice and smooth. I ultimately settled for the salted caramel pretzel and peanuts which ended up being a fine choice but still a little light on the pretzel. My husband got the dulce de le which was rich and creamy, he got this as an afogato to keep him up for the ride home.
Although their product is good I can’t give more than 3 stars mostly for their antiquated way of doing business. I don’t see horse and buggies on the street so I’m not really sure why they can’t accept credit cards… Reality check– the 21^st has arrived (15 years ago!). Also they don’t have a bathroom which isn’t necessarily a deal breaker but– really?

Nice little ice cream spot. We went on a Friday night. The line was long, but moved pretty quick. They had some interesting flavors, and the vanilla fudge I got was very enjoyable. We sat on a bench outside the shop and enjoyed our ice cream while people watching.

Love this place! They have a tiny little storefront with many unusual flavors. I had the Killer Chocolate, my daughter had fig, my husband had the mint chocolate, all were delicious.

5 Stars … eat Ice Cream. Sit Outside. ‘Nuff said.

I have been wanting to try Janes ice cream for years and finally went to Lick to get some. It was worth the trip.
The Ice Cream was amazing! I had 3 flavors in a 2 scoop: chai, fig n sweet cream, and lavender. The fig n sweet cream was my favorite. The ice cream was so rich I couldn’t finish it and gave it to my friend. My friend had the sea salt caramel peanut, and it was just okay. The sundae’s looked phenomenal and I would love to go back and get one.
The only downside is that the staff was kind of snobby. They were accommodating but didn’t really engage in conversation.
FYI they don’t take credit or debit cards.

My wife and I were in Hudson after apple picking and following lunch at Mexican Radio, we kinda wanted a milkshake. Alas, she’s lactose intolerant, so more for me: P
After spotting Lick on a free area map (and making the assumption that it was an ice cream parlor), we dropped by this very small shop and got a «Dirty Snowman» milkshake. I did have to ask what was in it as I did not see the ingredients listed. I can’t remember what it included, but marshmallows, cookie dough, cookie pieces, vanilla, etc. were the stars. Your basic kitchen sink flavor (an oxymoron I guess). It was delish!
Clever name, interesting flavors, free use of the sidewalk chalk, water for dogs, and a tip jar labeled «Tips for Counter Intelligence» (or something like that).
I did not lick, though, I slurped.

When the afternoon craving for iced treats hit, my husband suggested this place based on his research into the area. A very small store which had a long line given the square footage.
We decided on a shared milkshake. My husband LOVES milkshakes! I, sadly, am lactose intolerant. Much as I’d love to indulge, best I can handle is stealing a few sips off his. We got the special of the day, «Dirty Snowman» which was AMAZINGLY GOOD! The ingredients were named on a small counter card they had up, so I doubt it’s a normal offering.
Its name sounds pervy, but it tasted divine! I’m a solid fan of the product here. I was pleased to see they also provided a cool water doggy bowl outside on the walkway and there was even free chalk to draw on the street!

This place is so awesome. Stopped in right before heading back to NYC. The staff was so sweet and patient and they let us (4 indecisive girls) try like 6 different flavors. I decided on half a scoop of Thai coconut and half a scoop of salty peanut caramel (something like that) and both were creamy and delicious.

I was in Hudson for an afternoon and craving good home-​made ice cream. Saw a cute little bench area with people happily eating ice cream outside the store, and a cute sign «Lick.» I am a serious about ice cream, and I compare everything to my gold standard, JP Licks in Boston.
Happily, when we entered into Lick, I was instantly impressed with the fixins and flavor combinations on the wall. Special sundaes like Lavender ice cream with orange roasted almonds and some sort of sauce? Classic vanilla/​fudge, with roasted peanuts? I ended up with ginger ice cream, with a topping of roasted salted walnuts. And my fiancée got fig ice cream.
The texture was perfect — the taste was very strong and perfectly balanced sweetness. Absolutely hit the nail on the head and now JP Licks has a match! Congrats Lick for an amazing product all around.

Bought some great, locally made cheeses at this shop, and was very happy with them. Why I won’t return: they only take cash.

Good ice cream, great little vibe. The girl behind the counter, felt like I knew her forever, great convo and banter. Tats were pretty sweet too. The ice cream, original flavors, well thought out. great espresso, kept me up for hours. Hudson is making a bonafide comeback

I am spoiled for ice cream. In Philly, we have Capo Giro, which has some of the best gelato ever, and it’s only a block from my apartment. When I passed by Lick, I was dubious. I’ve been to ice cream places in plenty of tourist spots (Provinceton, MA; Wildwood, NJ; Savannah, GA; blahblahblah…), and never have they been able to satisfy my craving for interesting flavors. Lick was different.
Prune and armagnac flavor? Check. Rosewater and date? Check. Peppermint stick? Check. Lavender? Check. Lack of butterscotch? Ok with me. Someone is having a good time with taste here.
My boyfriend and I had the prune and armagnac with caramel sauce and marcona almonds. The girl at the shop put a little too much whipped cream on top (I love it, my boyfriend doesn’t), but MAN was it ever tasty.
My only complaint, and the only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five, is because they have a SERIOUS lack of seating. I suppose on a semi-​hot Hudson Valley summer evening, it’s not a problem — one can just wander up and down the street, peeking into the shops — but on a day when it is 95 degrees in the shade, a seat in some air conditioning can be a blessing.
All and all an excellent experience.

All told, a nice little spot. Not a huge selection of flavors, but a very respectable selection of toppings. I asked them to modify one of their traditional sundaes, and had Burnt Cinnamon ice cream with Lavendar Honey, Whip Cream and crushed up ginger snaps. Delicious, and good on a hot afternoon.
A little pricey, definitely on the up-​scale/​yuppie side. But it was an ice cream shop for adults, and they served some great ice cream so I was perfectly happy with it.

Love lick and the lick guys. Thai coconut chili ice cream was amazing.

I laugh at Lick. Pretense in plastic tubs.
Oh, you have hazelnut fudge ice cream. *How nice for you*.
Local artist did your logo? Good, SVA’s post-​graduate employment office is earning their keep.
Great ice cream? Ahhh, not really. Good. Not great. No butterscotch, a crime against man.
Plastic tubs full of jimmies, but hey, generous with them anyway.
And my gosh, come here after dark on a hot night and try to count the insects covering the ceiling and walls… are those sprinkles on your ice cream or an etymological sample?
Lick is best paired with Vico, so you can have a full two-​star evening.
