A former SE Clinton soap shop has been transformed into food cart favorite Fifty Licks' brick-and-mortar ice cream scoop shop. The bright and airy 650-square-foot space from French custard-style ice cream guru Chad Draizin softly opened on Friday, August 23. Draizin debuted his retro-styled ice cream food truck in 2010, quickly garnering attention for flavors like Caramelized Apple ice cream and Passionfruit with Sichuan Peppercorn sorbet.

From Cuban coffee and perfected house-made cones to four date night-ready creative sorbet cocktails and ice cream sandwiches, there's something for everyone.
