“My kids beg me for frozen yogurt from here and they have fun adding the toppings. I tried the pomegranate açaí mixed with mango sorbet and it is delicious and so refreshing! The staff is so friendly and it is always so clean. Perfect neighborhood place!“

PB mocha is my favorite. The bowls are so good too packed with goodness. The shots taste fresh and healthy as well!!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Delicious, fresh, healthy smoothies on a hot day were absolutely perfect. William made our daughter a minion milkshake (and secretly made it healthy without her knowing, which was perfect for our very picky eater), and our son enjoyed a taro boba tea with popping mango boba. Such a great find, and fabulous owner!“

“Absolutely loved my visit to Amorino! The gelato was delicious, beautifully made, and generous—but the real highlight was Liz. She was incredibly kind and gave me a wonderfully big ice cream with the biggest smile. Amazing service like that makes the experience unforgettable. Thank you, Liz—I’ll definitely be back!“

“Crumbl in Hoffman Estates is a sweet stop for anyone with a cookie craving. The rotating menu keeps things exciting, with new flavors to try every week alongside the classic favorites. The cookies are big, fresh, and usually warm, making them perfect for sharing (or not!). The store is clean, and the service is quick and friendly. Prices are a little high, but the quality and unique flavors make it worth it.“

“The Greatest Custard In The World in texture, taste and freshness! Greg is a genius of a restauranteur and the nicest guy you're ever going to meet!“

“We absolutely loved the smoothies and the rolled ice cream! Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely be coming back to try more flavors. Highly recommend AU Tea to anyone looking for a refreshing drink or a sweet treat! 😊“

“Many Oat milk ice cream options, and so many delicious flavors for ice cream, shakes, sundaes and shaved ice. Love that your dog gets to come into the restaurant and gets free ice cream. Chairs to sit inside or outside.“

“I am SOOOO lucky to live right across the street from this ice cream shop. It’s a bit more pricey than some places but the cost reflects the incredible quality of their premium ice creams. My faves are Peanut butter cookie dough; Coconut chip; Fat Elvis & Zanzibar (a rich dark chocolate). There’s a flavor for everyone. I think there’s like 50 different kinds. Open from mid-March to mid-October & on the last day of the season, you can buy whatever is left over. I got a whole tub one October for about $50–it lasted the whole winter! Yummmmm🥰“

“Comet Frozen Custard is one of the best local spots in Rolling Meadows! The frozen custard is always fresh, creamy, and packed with flavor. They have a great variety of daily flavors and toppings, so there’s always something new to try.

The staff is consistently friendly, the service is quick, and the atmosphere has that classic neighborhood ice cream stand feel that keeps people coming back. Whether you’re stopping in for a cone, sundae, shake, or just a coffee, everything is made with care.

It’s a family-owned business that truly cares about its customers and community. If you’re looking for a great dessert spot in the northwest suburbs, Comet Frozen Custard is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended!“

“If you haven’t tried this hidden gem, GO! Great food, great prices, friendly owners. Everything is fresh and delicious! In my opinion, they blow away the local competition.“

“Muy buena👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“They have and make the best fruit smoothies ever!“

“This is a small ice cream shop with some very good, but also some very strange flavors (like Durian or Black Sesame). They gladly give out samples, so make sure you try a flavor out before buying.

The sizes are on the small size for the price. It was close to $40 for 4 of us to get cones.

The place also has been redecorated for Initial D instead of Doraemon.“

“Great for families- large play area and super clean. Large variety of ice cream, sorbet and popsicles as well as fresh fruit treats. I had the coconut ice cream and it was fantastic. Super friendly staff-“

“We were so sad to hear the store close in McHennry! It was our family tradition to visit you as well as my child. We always make it priority to visit you! While visiting for a week it’s normal to visit 2-3 times before we go!!“

“El señor atendiendo es muy amable la agua Fresca de guayava que me recomendo estaba deliciosa 😋“

“Very clean store with a hand-sanitizing station with great variety of flavors and toppings. Delicious frozen yogurt and friendly staff.“

“The people working are very nice, and they will make whatever you want if they have the ingredients. Ankit the owner is very community oriented. every time I walk in there I'm just visiting some friends.“

“Mmmmmmmm! We love the Creamery! Many great memories here.🙂❤️ Great ice cream and the affogato is so good!“

“Usually great service and people, but you guys missed the mark tonight. The delivery person outside tried to give me at least 3 different orders that weren’t ours, and when we got home the chicken nuggets were missing the sauce, and the chili was missing the toppings and sour cream. Not a great outing tonight.“

“I went here the other week with my girlfriend and it was awesome, the Orange Beef and Spicy Wontons were the best! We stayed to eat outside and got to talk to the owner (who by the way is super friendly). We're definitely going back soon :)“

“I love this store my family and I have been going to this store since I was a little kid. I got my wife a custom Ice Cream cake for her Birthday and she loved it. Highly Recommend!“

“Yummy 😋 Good ice cream 🍦“

“This was my first time visiting this place. I must say, The customer service, food, and atmosphere was way above what I was expecting. I usually do not like custard ice cream(I have tried 4 places before here), my partner said just try it. But before we finished our food, I was given a sample and I loved it. I don't know what they do differently. But it was excellent. I'm definitely making sure when I visit again this Culver's will be my first stop for food.“

“Muy buen cervisio muy amables les doy un 10“

“Nice little spot with great outdoor seating and a cozy little interior. The board games available inside is a nice touch. Ordered the slushy and it was pretty solid. However, I would not recommend ordering any of the sundaes other than maybe the banana split. Portion sizes for those are a bit small and I found the price tag of nearly 8 dollars to be unreasonable especially for soft serve ice cream. Besides that though jts a great spot and I would definitely recommend it!“

“My husband Gary and I and our adorable baby fefe just walked over to Dairy Queen for the free vanilla ice cream cones. And I got my vanilla ice cream cone with the chocolate coating and it was absolutely delicious! the ice cream is always fresh and delicious and the employees are always so friendly. Keep up the good work and thank you so very much for our free delicious vanilla ice cream cones they were so delicious and very yummy. My husband Gary and I and our adorable baby fefe are really looking forward to seeing you guys at mundelein days and Vernon hills days this year as well. ??????????‍⬛“

“Everything tasted great tonight but for some reason the bun just fell apart...“

“The food was good. I ordered 2 grilled chicken sandwiches at around 9pm from the drive through. The order took not even 5 minutes and it was so good. You could tell everything was fresh and of high quality. Also, both the drive through window girl and the gentleman that walked out my order to me were nice. Good job Culver's!“

“girls are very friendly and portions are very decent 👏🙌💥🎊🎉“

“Amazing ice cream :) great place to get a scoop“

“ordered small concrete mixer.. asked for chocolate custard with Reese's peanut butter cups but received a medium size cup of plain custard“

“I usually come to have ice-cream in this Dairy Queens. I love the taste of each & every flavor here. Very very mouth watering items are always there. The behaviour of all staff members is so good & polite with happy gestures that one would like to visit here frequently.
I am a Big fan of this place… I love Dairy Queen’s Ice-cream especially at this place.“

“Best shaved ice around! Or add a swirl of ice cream on top for a real treat!“

“My 2 1/2 year old grandson and I had lunch there today. The staff treated us with kindness and good service! We also enjoyed the beautiful fish pond!“

“I recently visited Cold Stone Creamery and had a great experience. The store was clean and very well-maintained, which made it feel comfortable right away.

The staff was friendly and welcoming. They were patient while taking my order and made sure everything was prepared just the way I wanted.

I tried the “Mix & Go Create Your Own” and also the Chocolate Devotion, both were delicious. The ice cream was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The Chocolate Devotion was especially amazing, very rich in chocolate and absolutely yummy. The mix-ins were fresh and blended perfectly.

Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“It has a very simple menu that packs a lot of flavor to the meal... Mmmmmmmm😋👍🏼 This was our first time, but not to be our last. We traveled about 1 hour and 40 minutes to discover I want this in my life. The buns were so good, & that cheese sauce...Mmmmmm😋👍🏼“

“They did our recent gender reveal cake and knocked it out of the park! Not only did it look exactly like the design idea I shared with them, but it tasted incredible. I literally liked this cake better than my own wedding cake, haha!“

“Highly recommend to bring a group into grab a cup of coffee, a scoop of gelato or make a custom item in the designability shop.“

“awesome awesome ice cream“

“My family and I decided to give Van's Frozen Custard and try, and it was a lot better than what we were expecting.
The burgers were cooked perfectly and topped with super fresh ingredients and the Custard was out of this world 🌎 the restaurant itself was fine, but the inside layout kind of reminds you of just being in a McDonald's restaurant but with way better food. I would highly recommend giving Van's a try if you haven't yet.“

“Los mejores tamales que eh comido en mucho tiempo y el champurrado igual , muy buenos !! espero que no cambien su forma de hacerlos“
