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.“

“Truly a gem in the Palos area, the ice cream is amazing and very well priced! The atmosphere is cozy and well decorated. There was high demand for ice cream on a chilly Sunday night but there was enough staff to handle the crowd. The ordering process is simple and the ice cream was ready quick. Excellent place for a delicious treat!“

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!“

“Lola’s Latte and the churros were delicious!“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“We always buy Jeni's from the store. first time here at the mall and did not disappoint. Loved it.“

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

“I just came from the Daily Scoop with some friends and let me tell you, the hot dog in itself was GOOD! Born and raised in the city of Chicago I won’t eat anything that’s not Vienna Beef with my poppy seed bun and they delivered! We were able to meet the owner Chuck and the other staff and talk about solid people right there. Super hospitable and friendly, clean environment and I will be going back to try the ice cream. If you’re in the neighborhood please don’t hesitate to stop inside!“

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!!“

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

“Interesting experience! If you want to customize it yourself, you can use the cup to see what flavors you want to put in it and decide how much to put in it. Toppings for any amount you want to put in are +75 cents. Finally, you have to use a scale to see how much it costs ~ Yogurt flavors are also available. It’s delicious, I recommend the peach flavor I had that day?“

“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.“

“I love Crumbl cookies!!! One of my favorite places to go to get something sweet when I am craving it. The staff are always welcoming go and friendly and there is never a long wait. The cookies and their berry trifle cake are amazing. I have never been dissatisfied with the service or the quality of food from there.“

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

“Had the PB Heaven, was awesome!Owners just opened a couple of months ago, they are hustling with great ice cream, tons of toppings and really fun combos and sundaes.A lot more options than DW, Petersen’s and the Valpo ice cream is local to the region and so good!“

“Everything was fantastic including the service!“

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

“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 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 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.“

“Was just going to get a cone and my husband talked me into getting a cherry chocolate chip mixture. It was so delicious, I swear it was a Pint of ice cream. They are expensive, but it was worth every dollar.

Kid-friendliness: They would love it, who doesn't like ice cream?“

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

“delicious icecream great service“

“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!“

“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“

“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 ❤️“

“I come in here almost weekly and let me tell you, the atmosphere of this place is so electrifying and welcoming. Just being greeted with a simple hello, how are you! From the staff fills me with joy. The happiness on my nieces and nephews faces when I mention Trugurt is what makes me the happiest. They will always remember the little frozen yogurt shop they went to with me, and that’s so special to my heart. Thank you Trugurt for all the new flavors and experiences you have given to me and my family. I recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere to relax and eat some delicious cream!! From your local yogurt enthusiast… Sofia!!“

“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!“

“The team made me a Cotton Candy Blizzard Cake for my brother's graduation and it was amazing! Thanks so much! Will be ordering more for sure!“
