50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Deer Park

“I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to share how exceptional the service was today. I visited the Deer Park store with my son, and when he had a meltdown over losing his favorite toy, the crew member (Sri) went above and beyond. She directed us to a quiet area to help calm him down, then checked in on us with a thoughtful gift for my son, which made his day (it was his birthday!). She was kind, empathetic, and made us feel so comfortable. Thank you, Sri, for making this experience so special!“

“Delicious, fresh, healthy smoothies on a hot day were absolutely perfect. William made our daughter a minion milkshake (and secretly made it healthy without her knowing, which was perfect for our very picky eater), and our son enjoyed a taro boba tea with popping mango boba. Such a great find, and fabulous owner!“

“Nice ice cream shop and a bonus as they have entertainment“

“Cassandra made my visit such a great experience! She was super kind, very friendly, and went out of her way to answer all my questions. I really appreciated how patient she was, letting me try different flavors until I found the perfect mix (pistachio, mango, and chocolate — amazing!). The gelato was delicious and fresh, and Cassandra’s warm service made it even better. Highly recommend stopping by if you want both incredible gelato and wonderful service!“

“The Greatest Custard In The World in texture, taste and freshness! Greg is a genius of a restauranteur and the nicest guy you're ever going to meet!“

“Thank you, Joon for the delicious boba teas 🧋 and smoothies! They were a hit! 18 drinks to celebrate our daughter’s birthday! My personal fave is milk tea with easy tapioca. We absolutely love this place and definitely will return!“

“I am SOOOO lucky to live right across the street from this ice cream shop. It’s a bit more pricey than some places but the cost reflects the incredible quality of their premium ice creams. My faves are Peanut butter cookie dough; Coconut chip; Fat Elvis & Zanzibar (a rich dark chocolate). There’s a flavor for everyone. I think there’s like 50 different kinds. Open from mid-March to mid-October & on the last day of the season, you can buy whatever is left over. I got a whole tub one October for about $50–it lasted the whole winter! Yummmmm🥰“

“Many Oat milk ice cream options, and so many delicious flavors for ice cream, shakes, sundaes and shaved ice. Love that your dog gets to come into the restaurant and gets free ice cream. Chairs to sit inside or outside.“

“Love this place! I’m from Wisconsin but life close to the Illinois boarder. I came across this gem while driving by. We stopped and order food- and then went back up to the window to order a few more times. The staff were very sweet and time efficient. Their creamsicle soft serve cone is to die for! We’ll be back!“

“Muy buena👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“If you haven’t tried this hidden gem, GO! Great food, great prices, friendly owners. Everything is fresh and delicious! In my opinion, they blow away the local competition.“

“We were so sad to hear the store close in McHennry! It was our family tradition to visit you as well as my child. We always make it priority to visit you! While visiting for a week it’s normal to visit 2-3 times before we go!!“

“Mmmmm Good Stuff! Best frozen dessert ever“

“Great atmosphere, delightful,delicious ice cream and great prices.“

“Kurimu is a very unique ice cream shop. They have lots of unique flavors that are very delicious. You can sample flavors before making your selection. It's hard to make a selection because everything is so delicious. The staff here in my experience have been very welcoming. I visit Kurimu every time I am in the area and they never disappoint.“

“Wow! The scoop size is massive. So delicious. I was way too ambitious getting a double 🤣“

“Very clean store with a hand-sanitizing station with great variety of flavors and toppings. Delicious frozen yogurt and friendly staff.“

“Crumbl in Hoffman Estates is a sweet stop for anyone with a cookie craving. The rotating menu keeps things exciting, with new flavors to try every week alongside the classic favorites. The cookies are big, fresh, and usually warm, making them perfect for sharing (or not!). The store is clean, and the service is quick and friendly. Prices are a little high, but the quality and unique flavors make it worth it.“

“Mmmmmmmm! We love the Creamery! Many great memories here.🙂❤️ Great ice cream and the affogato is so good!“

“Yummy froyo with yummy toppings 😘“

“El señor atendiendo es muy amable la agua Fresca de guayava que me recomendo estaba deliciosa 😋“

“Just popping on here to say I really like this Crumbl location! I’ve been a big fan of Crumbl for about 4 years now and this location always has consistently great treats. The employees at this Vernon Hills Crumbl are always friendly. I’ve had some nice, light-hearted experiences during order pickup, and they’ve always been efficient and professional, too. I’m easily giving them 5 stars — without hesitation!“

Everything from the friendly customer service at the window, the cleanliness of the shop, and the unique taste of the frozen custard, was top notch. Will definitely be coming back!!“

“Need more syrup on the banana splits. Ice cream was good“

“I just want to give a shoutout to Arlington Heights IL Crumbl. On a day they were slammed due to Dubai week—they prepped my order an hour early, so I could make it to the hospital, to see my dad, in time for visiting hours. Young lady at the front, Tuesday the 19th, was fantastic. Thank you.
Tip well—especially on a week like this“

“I have come to this candy shop for the last 10 years. That should speak for itself. If it doesn't, I'll say more:I absolutely love chocolate malts. Any place I go that has them, I always order one. SweetSpot makes the most INCREDIBLE malt I have ever had anywhere, and not once in 10 years has it been less than amazing! I took a friend a few months ago, telling them that the malts are the best and she was skeptical. Had one sip and said it was "50/10."However, if you aren't into malts, there are many other things to love. They have the widest variety of candies I have ever seen at one shop, plus some types of candy that I haven't seen anywhere else in 15 years, not to mention soda in actual glass bottles! Good luck finding those in your local grocery store! It seems impossible to find a real *candy* store anymore, as opposed to a store with a candy section.If you're in the area, SweetSpot is a must-visit. I'm moving several hours away tomorrow, but you can be sure that any time I come back to visit, I'll be stopping here for a malt!“

“they were very friendly n accomodating to their customers😘“

“Please do consider booking Sweet Home Gelato for your wedding! Each flavor offered is incredibly tasty. The pricing is extremely fair for catering and much more affordable compared to other vendors. My wedding was scheduled for August 8,2020. But due to Covid-19, we unfortunately had to cancel. Janice was extremely compassionate, understanding and flexible during the whole process. Sweet Home Gelato was the most compassionate and flexible vendor. It is not easy to cancel a wedding, unfortunately many vendors were not as accommodating. Janice immediately offered a refund, date change or gift card for the deposit. Sweet Home Gelato was under no circumstance required to issue a refund. Please do consider supporting this small business that is run by good people!“

“Fast service Good response“

“My kids beg me for frozen yogurt from here and they have fun adding the toppings. I tried the pomegranate açaí mixed with mango sorbet and it is delicious and so refreshing! The staff is so friendly and it is always so clean. Perfect neighborhood place!“

“My 4 year old son loved it here!!! He was so proud to have designed a donut (which was actually just the cookies and cream option from the menu) but he watched them make it and decorate it and then showed it to everyone he passed. He said they were the BEST donuts he’s ever had! I had the cold brew with sweet cream which was solid.“

“My first time there I had a chocolate shake it was delicious“

“Found my favorite childhood snack — egg waffles 🧇 — at MilkCow cafe near home! Definitely coming back again! Their ice cream was amazing too — super creamy and full of milky goodness 🍦💛“

“Matcha was of very high grade. Priced rightly for the great quality and taste! This place is located in food court of Mitsuwa marketplace. Offers many variations of matcha, such as strawberry or cinnamon and vanilla matcha. There are also matcha desserts such as soft serve. The original iced matcha latte was superb, as a regular matcha drinker this is near the top for me! 🍵💚“

“Thank you so much, Duck Donuts for making 100 plus donuts fresh to order for our amazing homeowners at Aloha Construction, Inc. Our families enjoyed getting your warm and delicious donuts delivered this evening on this cold night. Also, Maulesh thank you for making Evelyn her special donut while we got to enjoy watching you make our special order and getting Thank You's wrote.🥳🍩🙌“

“awesome awesome ice cream“

“Food was very good. I ended up with chilaquiles (with chicken breast) and my friend got the pupusas and dobladas. Really solid, and I appreciate the subtle differences in flavors between the Guatamalan dishes and standard Mexican fare. However, only 4/5 because ordering (in English) was difficult. I tried to get grilled skirt steak and a green chicken enchilada (as a single item, listed that way on the menu) but what was originally brought out was 3 green chicken enchiladas. I explained the issue and thought it was clear but ended up getting brought the chilaquiles. My friend got his pupusas but the dobladas was not brought and had to be ordered again. The food was delicious and I'm not a picky eater so this wasn't a huge deal, but others that need to order a specific thing, in English, may have trouble. I will be back though, and I will brush up on my Spanish.“

“The ice cream here and creamy milk is very tasty and delicious!“

“I absolutely love Kiki’s Cotton Candy! World’s best lemonade is an understatement. Honestly the nicest people too. Try everything- it’s all delicious!“

“1st time visiting this establishment. Very friendly and nostalgic atmosphere. Had their 1/3 burger and onion rings. It was fantastic!! Best burger I've had in a long time. Actually meaty and fresh not one of those frozen smash burgers. Can't wait for my next visit. Hope to try something new, if I can convince myself to skip the burgers. And did I mention very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!“

“We love this new place in town! My kids LOVE ❤️ Clean and really cool environment to hang out at to grab a drink and chat with friends. Free amazing smells lol 😂 Smoothies are delicious. PB mocha is my favorite. The bowls are so good too packed with goodness. The shots taste fresh and healthy as well!!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“I was very happy with the employees that worked there, but i gave it a one-star for the food. I was very disappointed in the twist cone I received. It was like eating whipped cream. Don't get me wrong, I like whipped cream but not as a cone. The reason why it was like this is because the machine wasn't calibrated correctly in the beginning, or they ran out of mix, and when they added more mix. And then the machine when out of calibration. I know this because I worked in the food industry for 35 years.“
