50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Darien

“Amazing flavors and nice people such a great addition to the neighborhood!“

“My family and I love the rainbow cone. Anytime I'm out in the area and heading home I always stop and grab a four pack of the rainbow cookies. We just can't get enough of them. Such a perfect combination of flavors with that outer sugar cookie crunch. If you've never tried the rainbow cone I highly recommend it.“

“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.“

“😀 I've been a satisfied customer for many years. They never disappoint! They also have a nice selection of both dairy free and no sugar added options!“

“Best ice cream ever!!!! I am an ice cream snob when I’m on vacation. I have to have it every day and I walked miles to that ice cream parlor this week the owner and the boy Jake that worked there was such awesome people too. I will definitely be back. I went tonight because I’m leaving in the morning sorted caramel chunk.!!!! you will not be disappointed“

“We rented out High Rollers for a private party in Dec. 2025. John was super helpful, very responsive, and made it a fantastic experience! We had about 50 people. John’s staff was helpful and fun. Highly recommend!“

“We came with our family after dinner for some sweet treats and a walk.
We ordered ice cream.
There are lots of flavors to choose from.
There were seven of us and we all tried something different.
Yellow cake batter was a little sweeter than expected.
Some of the other flavors we really enjoyed were watermelon,cookies & cream,and parent trap.
👍🏽“

“Such a great experience! The churros, pesto chicken sandwich, Marzipan coffee, and Nutella and strawberry sundae were so good. The staff was so nice and the place is so cute for the kids or a cute little date!“

“Never been to something like this and found it on google looking for a dessert type place to go with family. It was pretty expensive and overwhelming with options but we just weren’t familiar with this type of place. We settled with a chocolate shake and a chocolate lava cake and it was freaking delicious. It looks like a hot mess but it was 10/10. The flavors aren’t like a normal brownie or cake batter for the cake, it wasn’t Nutella and was melted chocolates, and I never had gelato before and the vanilla gelato was a like custard like cream cheese type of flavor and texture and it was really good.

The shake was super light and fluffy. Hard to describe but different.

Atmosphere was clean and nice. We really liked it.“

“The cookies are amazing as always! Staff can try to be a little more friendlier they give the factory worker feel (hot miserable & not trying to be there). Doesn’t feel welcoming but thankfully I’m not there for them 🤪 there for the cookiesss but a lil customer service goes a long way & if that’s too much try smiling it’s contagious! 😊“

“Sweet Maria welcomed 3 of us in last night an hour after closing, while cleaning up, and then TREATED us to our ice cream! Thank you again!“

“Sundaes, blizzards and frozen drinks! Yum!“

“Master Gelato has easily become my favorite dessert spot. I've tried almost everything on the menu except the brownie gelato and the kunafa gelato, and everything has been amazing. My absolute favorite is the Oreo Tres Leches cake—it is hands down one of the best desserts I've ever had.
The staff is always incredibly friendly and welcoming. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. They let me sample different flavors, answered all my questions, and were very generous with their recommendations. The customer service alone makes me want to keep coming back.
The shop itself is spotless, modern, classy, and beautifully decorated. It has a comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your dessert. What really sets Master Gelato apart is the quality and authenticity. They have unique flavors that are out of this world, the best Arabic ice cream I've ever had, and they import their ingredients from Italy, so everything tastes fresh, authentic, and natural. If you're looking for a dessert place that truly stands out, I can't recommend Master Gelato enough!“

“Always a 10/10! The Orland Park team is super fast, friendly and helpful! This location is clean and efficient. There’s always free and easy parking available which is appreciated. The cookies are consistently warm and delicious and I’ve always been able to get the flavor I want. I recommend!“

“For the most part this location is good about getting you fresh cookies, but sometimes it’s a hit or miss. But TODAY! These cookies are delicious! The cookies and cream cheesecake, the brownie batter cookie, and the pink velvet cake! 😋“

“Great ice cream. Friendly. Thank you for working so hard on the 4th of July and way past closing for all the customers.“

“I visited Cocomero in Downers Grove with my wife for the first time and we were delighted. The standout Taro milk tea was rich and creamy, blending earthy sweetness perfectly, while the self-serve frozen yogurt bar, packed with fresh toppings, offered creative fun and flavor. Friendly staff and a cozy, welcoming vibe made our visit memorable—and a great shared treat.“

“The best chocolate shakes!“

“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.“

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

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

“First ever Boba place I've been too that had a beautiful interior, had a machine with handmade nails at a reasonable price and a gachapon with cute characters, The nice employee there was fun to talk and watch make out drinks! Girl deserves a raise for putting her heart into those drinks because they were good, would definitely visit again!“

“This coffee shop is so close to where I work so I’ve been visiting here and there and have not been disappointed with a single drink I’ve ordered! Everyone working there is so friendly too 😊“

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

“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.“

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

“I love your delicious products, very clean everything super economical, besides the owner treats her employees very well, she teaches them with love.“

“Visited Fishers location - so glad I did! Non-dairy lemon chill was pleasantly creamy (expected it to be tart like sorbet, but it was mild and delicious!) - and non-dairy caramel was amazing! So nice to have non-dairy flavors with flare! My son had cake batter and crazy cookie - loved them both! Our new go-to for ice cream - thanks, Eiffel Waffle!😎“

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

“Great staff and quick moving. Never a long line“

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

“Found this place by chance when looking for ice cream after being at the zoo. Great ice cream and wonderful service.“

“Stopped in prior to an appointment down the road at Hines VA. Absolutely amazing customer service, (I wish I asked for the employees name, my receipt says Liz) but she was the friendliest, warmest, most pleasant person! 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!!“

“Amazing custard and the waffle cone is bomb“

“Fabulous customer service! Delicious products. Let us try an array of samples to make a good choice and was pleasant. Decently priced too. Will definitely return.“

“Love Oberweiss. The milk and ice cream taste so real and creamy.“

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

“Everything was fantastic including the service!“

“Tropical Sno! a lot of flavors!“

“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 loaded hot cocoa is so good!“

“I just went there today for the first time and it was amazing. They have a lot different healthy options such as gluten free, vegan, USDA Organic, Live & Active Cultures, dairy free, soy free, fat free, low fat, Omega-3 & DHA, etc. “Definitely be true to your tummy.” Thank you Trugurt for being the best frozen yogurt place!😊❤️🍦🍨☕️🥤“

“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“

“First time visiting today and the Chocolate is the best I’ve ever had. The quality is unmatched. Look forward to coming back!“
