One of the more recent additions in a fun American-style ice cream parlor, Lickety Lick. The Leamington branch, in an old shoe shop down in the old town, follows on the heels of a success story in Coventry.
From the window, the parlour declares itself as a place of fun, and if you don't have a sense of humour then this isn't the place for you (you old misery).
The exterior and interior gives more than a nod to the 1950s American diner. Complete with the town's first model of Elvis, as far as I'm aware.
The interior is bright and looked clean, but there appeared to be a touch of slowness on the table-clearing side of things and it was mid-week and so not particularly busy.
Lots of tasty teeth-destroying treats are on offer: scrumptious sounding sundaes (lotta oreo, all you need is cream, popstar), waffles, cookie ice cream sandwiches, as well as good selection of inventive milkshakes (ferrero rocher), ice cream floats, then coffees and teas.
Of course, I skipped the novelty and went for the ice cream. There's a nice choice of flavours (around 14) plus guest flavours which the staff said changed on a regular basis. I was encouraged to try flavours (always a good sign) and would recommend the lemon meringue from just a taste.
My final choice was one scoop each of two flavours: rich chocolate and cointreau and orange. The second was a guest flavour and tasted more orangey than boozy. An extra hit of liqueur would have brought it up to my expectation. The chocolate was tasty and indeed rich. Both scoops were definitely UK or US ice cream style.

The verdict
Lickety lick is certainly a place that should be on your ice cream list. Treat the kids or it could be good for teenager birthday parties.
I had:
Two scoops in a cup: rich chocolate with cointreau and orange.
Price £2.75
