50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Darien

“We had Abigail ring us up, and she was awesome. She saw us struggling with taking a picture with our kids and offered to help. Kindness goes a very long way, and Abigail was awesome

Kid-friendliness: They had a really nice fenced in are and padded seats at the picnic table that's wonderful for children. They also had the inserts for cones so the kids didn't get ice cream everywhere.“

“I just came home from Culver’s. We ordered online and I scheduled curbside pickup. Well I wanted to add to my order and walked in too early. Well it wasn’t even started yet but they went above and beyond trying to accommodate me. The manger was amazing as were all the employees. They all apologized to me but I made the mistake. Brought me my food which was just made and nice and hot. The young man who brought me my food also apologized to me and held the door open for me. What a wonderful experience. This was in in Darien Il. Will definitely return. My nam is Kathy and I hope the manager sees this. Thank you Culver’s.“

The premise is simple: pour yogurt into a cup and add your own toppings. Weight it and pay.

The place is very clean and they get a bonus for playing Frank Sinatra.

Dietary restrictions: 2 dairy free options and a few nonfat options. They also have a no sugar option.“

Our delivery window was very specific, and they arrived right on time. If you're looking for delicious catered ice cream with great customer service, I highly recommend! We hope to use Kimmers again.“

“The most beautiful and best tasting michoacana. I wish to not write a review because we all hate packed michoacanas but it will be selfish of me to not say this is the best michoacana in the area.

Calm, beautiful, everything tastes amazingly good, the owners and workers are lovely and caring. It’s a beautiful environment and clean place. We enjoy it so much every time we go.

THANK YOU GUYS!“

“Nice outdoor area to enjoy friends and family gathering plus they have the best Turtle Sundae in the area hands down 👌🏻“

“I haven’t found “chocomania” anywhere else ❤️“

“I would give this a 5 stars, but the cookies are just too unhealthy. I have seen the videos online of how many calories and sugar are in these and it’s appalling. I still get them on occasion, but they are only a once in a while treat and not something you should be getting every week to try out their rotational menu.

Kid-friendliness: Yeah, for whole family.“

“The best cookies that I tried!
When I went for the first time I needed a seller because this work like self service, they help me and were so kind. Cookies are expensive but so delicious. The store is too small and it’s confuse because there are two lines, one for order and one for pickup, because of the size of the store it’s kind a mess“

“Thankful to have a couple vegan options. Very good 😌“

“Best blizzards ever! Worth the drive! WONDERFUL!“

“The Customer service is great there and do cookies are delicious. The young lady that helped me was so kind and amazing.

Kid-friendliness: Although they are very sweet they help distract kids and can be very helpful for when your busy.“

“Delicious Ice Cream, Great staff!. We stopped at the drive through at the Liberty Drive in Wheaton Location. We were picking up a few blizzards, and two of them were off menu requests (older/retired recipes). The manager (owner?), Rerish, took great care of us and gave us very good recommendations. He made sure we got what we were looking for and shared the recipes so the recipients would know what to ask for next time. The two blizzards were delivered, and the kids LOVED them. Thanks so much! We will be back.“

“Buckeye Brownie cookie is to die for!!!“

“First time trying Andy’s this past Saturday and it was delicious! The staff member was very friendly and fast. We enjoyed every bite!“

“The best chocolate shakes!“

“What a nice spot in downtown Lagrange to get some dessert.

The process is simple:

1) Select any combo of the 10 yogurt flavors
2) Select from a collection of toppings
3) Get your cup weighed and pay

The lobby can seat about 20 including high top chairs on a busy day.

The atmosphere is clean and the crowd is nice.

There is limited street parking. Otherwise, you could park in the parking garage about 1 block behind the building.“

I ordered fresas con crema and agua fresca de sandia, both are so delicious! I will definitely be visiting this place again! Thank you again for a wonderful experience!!“

“I recently went to Bobaking and ordered a ancient brown sugar milk tea and it was good! the tapioca itself had a nice texture 8/10 and the flavor of the drink was 7/10! would def come back if im in the area, especially since they have a punch card so you cane eventually get a free drink. the inside is cute, it has a cool cotton candy machine and other vending.“

“Tropical Sno! a lot of flavors!“

“Been going here since they opened. Always very friendly, best ice cream in town.“

“Went two weekends in a row. I really love oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and they have a flavor that legit was that in ice cream form. So good!

I got oatmeal cookie craving and caramel cheesecake Cookie Monster.
Son got banana peanut butter
Fiancé got cookies and cream

All great taste, staff was very nice and helpful and the area was great for walking while you eat.“

“The store looks so nice and clean and the service is amazing. Owner and staff is very nice friendly. Will c u again Thank you.“

“I was waiting for my cookies when I observed a worker who was rolling dough. She stepped away from the dough table, and went on her personal phone, then immediately went back to touching the dough. Wearing the same pair of gloves the entire time. I made a comment that she should probably switch gloves if she is going to touch her personal phone and then peoples food. Just wanted to be sure it doesn’t happen again. That’s gross.“

“Fine folks - Good staff workers that take photographs as well“

“The butter pecan was amazing, also the 🍓/🍌 cup was delicious.“

“Soooo delicious! I got a mangonanda and it was like eating a ripe frozen mango, with Chamoy and taji. my family got the ice cream and raced all the way home. I will definitely be back.“

“The place was a ghost town. I was the only one there. The only thing that changed about the peanut buster parfait was the price ( over $5.00 now ). The worker that was there was very pleasant. It does not have to be blistering hot outside to enjoy good ice cream.“

“Kind of a hole in the wall, but has a standard selection of flavors and items. I very much enjoyed the chocolate malt shake I had. No seating in the shop itself, but indoors seating in Bill's attached restaurant, or picnic tables in front.“

“I was referred here by the sweetest Adela and I really enjoyed my experience! It was a pleasure to meet Karla and her daughter who are so kind and work really hard to make the delicious dessert from their heart. I wanted a healthier option so I tried the yogurt parfait with fresh fruit & granola and it was absolutely delicious. 110% recommend!“

“SKINNYSWEET YORKTOWN Frozen Yogurt has a Quality product in every spoonful.. Many Flavors to choose from & even some Sugar Free & Non Dairy Flavors. Friendly Prompt Efficient Service. Machines are Always Clean & Store is VERY Clean & Tidy. REWARDS PROGRAM is also Very Good. Thank You All ❤️“

“My burger was done incorrectly when I went through the drive thru but didn’t realize it till I went home. When I returned the manager gave me a free pint of custard for the mistake. Amazing customer service! Keep up the great work!“

“The ice cream is absolutely THE BEST! I had a two-scoop waffle cone that would have been perfect, but the cone dribbled a tiny bit. I'll definitely go back again for some more cookie dough. Yum!“

“delicious icecream great service“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE this DQ in Homer! Not only do they have fast service, but their ice cream is consistently perfect every time! They are generous too! They just made a donation to my sons wrestling fundraiser raffle. Just the nicest, kindest, people! And what's super awesome is that they are open year round! Ice cream is my fav food - especially a cherry chocolate chip blizzard :) Thank you HG DQ!!!“

“Buying ice cream at Baskin Robbins or any other ice cream places is way better than chasing the ice cream truck for ice cream, and it's an indoor dining with heating and cooling systems installed so you guys won't close for the winter like outdoor dining restaurants such as Dairy Queen in Lockport or Romeoville does. Eggnog ice cream is my favorite thing every time at christmas“
