50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Darien

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

“I enjoy getting an original rainbow cone and I'm thankful there are more locations to enjoy them. We accidentally discovered they have a junior size cone which provides just as much flavor and the (required) obligatory drip(s) on my shirt and pants despite my efforts otherwise. They currently offer the Jr size for a buck off on Tuesday making the trip less costly.
I'd suggest a trip to the original Rainbow Cone at 92nd and Western for the true experience. Walk in, stand in line and sit at the tables out back. The original location is on my personal list of Chicago favorites. Thankfully they no longer close in the off-season...“

“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 love Kimmer's. Our Scooper/Ice Cream Tech/Flavor Expert on our visit, yesterday, was super nice, friendly, and enthusiastic. We each tried a flavor that we have not tasted, before. As always, they were fab. My Chocolate Covered Cherry paired deliciously with my fave Aztec Hot Chocolate. My daughter had an across-the-board peanut butter crush, Bear Cub Tracks sharing a Waffle Cone with one of her favorites, Parent Trap. Delish!“

“Mastic Gelato is honestly one of the best dessert spots I’ve tried. They sell amazing ice cream and bake their own cakes, and everything tastes super fresh and high quality. I tried the caramel cake with vanilla foam on top and it was amazing. The tiramisu cake was just as good. The owner and staff are all really sweet and welcoming. I’d highly recommend stopping by and showing support you won’t regret it. Thanks Again“

“Sundaes, blizzards and frozen drinks! Yum!“

“Todo está delicioso y muy buena atención“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!😎“

“Walked in this afternoon. Aaliyah and Amber are awesome. We walked in undecided on what to get. They definitely were very patient with us and helped us out. Picked up so many different choices. Can’t wait to try them on. Definitely will be back. Great customer service.“

“very cute boutique and the ice cream, so good!! lots of flavor choices and the ice cream names, pretty great and funny. family focused for sure ♡ very nice staff. thankfully we live around the corner so we'll def be back!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I remember Sherman’s Ice Cream as a kid when I’d visit my Grandparents in New Buffalo. The flavor selections are absolutely incredible.“

“so amazing good wonderful sweet cookies I eat cookies every single day and crumble by far excels in every single possible category a cookie can excel in. Let me tell you there are many cookies that are great, but none are perfect except for the cookies that come from this specific crumble location I don’t know how they do it but let me tell you I’m not gonna ask. I’m just gonna keep on buying Crumbl crumbly y’all shout out to bowling brooke“

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

“Everything looks so yummy! I can't wait to try anything with strawberries 🍓🍓🍓🍓“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

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

“The best boba place in the area! Brightly lit, exceptionally friendly staff, and some of the best tapioca pearls around. The decor is akin to a modern Japanese boba house. They even have a gotchapon and a cotton candy vending machine. This is a must for all boba lovers!“

“Amazing gelato and great staff. They aren't pet friendly so we were standing outside and eating our desserts and they brought us water for our puppy. We also got some free delicious cookies for our group at the end of the night. Will definitely go back!“

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

“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“

“So much fun and sweetness. Kids love it!“

“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.“

“Awesome place! Great service! Gives back to the community! Highly recommend for all!“

“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.“

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

“If you’ve got a sweet tooth, Kilwins in Wheaton is an absolute must-stop—especially since it’s conveniently right next door to Sogno. The chocolates were divine. I picked up my signature favorites—marzipan and chocolate-covered marshmallows—and wow… they did not disappoint. Every bite was rich, fresh, and totally indulgent.

What really made the experience, though, was the cozy seating area. It’s the perfect spot to sit, relax, and just enjoy the moment with good company. We ended up staying so long we practically shut the place down—no regrets.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sweet treat and a place to linger a little longer than planned. Yum!!!“
