The Inside Scoop has the best Hot Fudge Sundaes in Crystal Lake! Although they have a variety of ice cream selections, I love the vanilla ice cream, it tastes homemade. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend stopping in!
We’re typically here 1-2 times a week. So many flavors to choose from!
Delicious ice cream, kids love it!

Always been a wonderful ice cream shop. Have plenty of memories inside those walls of a big ol’ waffle cone (or even a baseball cap!) full of pothole ice cream.
