‘Gr8 Comeback’: Ice cream fans packing drive-thru at Teejay’s Sweet Tooth

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — When it comes to getting a sweet fix, people have been buzzing about Teejay’s Sweet Tooth on the northwest side of Indianapolis.

Taylor DeBruce, co-owner of TeeJay’s, says what they have is different than what you would find at many other ice cream shops in the area.

“We are proud to say we are changing the way you do ice cream,” she said.

They infuse their ice cream with unorthodox combinations — including Fruity Pebbles, warm donuts or other sweet toppings — to make an original ice cream treat sandwich.

Their fresh scoop on sweets may be the reason that, although people can’t dine in at their shop, the drive-thru line packs the parking lot.

“Things have definitely picked up,” DeBruce said about being open during the coronavirus pandemic. “We were kind of scared like a lot of other small businesses, but things suddenly turned for us after Memorial Day. Ever since then things have been great. We appreciate all the support everyone’s been giving us of all backgrounds, ethnicities, everything.”

You can find Teejay’s Sweet Tooth at 8660 Purdue Road, Suite 600. They are open from 5-9 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 3-9 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
