INDEX
Nicey Treat sells locally handcrafted frozen pops at 916 E. Westfield Boulevard, Suite 120 near the Monon Trail. “Our frozen pops are made from all-natural, organic ingredients in both diary and lactose-free, gluten-free varieties that are naturally sweetened with no preservatives. We have rotating flavors that vary with the different seasons and we pasteurize our own milk. We buy our fruit locally and use our juicer to create our own flavors. Owner Jeff (Patrick) creates all the recipes for our frozen pops. Our most popular flavor is Pink Lemonade,” said Emma. She is a college student working there during the summer. Some of their recent available flavors were Avocado, Banana Cream, Key Lime, Kiwi, Mango Ginger, Pina Colada, Pineapple Basil, Pink Guava and Strawberry Rhubarb. “We try to locally source the ingredients as much as we can. You won’t see any artificial ingredients or artificial colors. We have some fruit-based pops that are kind of comparable to frozen pops and some cream-based ones. I was trained in the kitchen last summer and now work in the front area of the store serving the pops. We’ve been located here about a year,” Lauren mentioned, who is also a summer employee. “Jeff is always experimenting with different flavors and different pops that he makes in the back of the store. He can be seen driving Nicey Treat’s vintage truck or steering their mobile freezer cart to numerous places around Indianapolis, including the Broad Ripple Farmer’s Market and White River State Park. We also cater wedding and corporate events. Another thing that we do is that we are a 1% for the Planet business where we donate one percent of our annual profits to a local organization who strives to keep a clean environment. Last year, the recipient was Keep Indianapolis Beautiful,” Emma added. In addition to their frozen pops, Nicey Treat sells freezer tote bags made from recycled billboards to keep their products cold. They also Nicey Treat have hats and t-shirts available 916 Westfield Blvd. [G5 on map] that are manufactured by ecofriendly companies. (317) 602-NICE Nicey Treat’s current hours www.niceytreat.com are Noon to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, Noon to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

I would be a vastly different person today had I not decided to follow that path.” – Taylor Smith To celebrate the 11th year of the Broad Ripple Gazette we started featuring a year of local artists by allowing them to interpret our banner, while incorporating the words “The Broad Ripple Gazette”.
