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!“

“Absolutely loved my visit to Amorino! The gelato was delicious, beautifully made, and generous—but the real highlight was Liz. She was incredibly kind and gave me a wonderfully big ice cream with the biggest smile. Amazing service like that makes the experience unforgettable. Thank you, Liz—I’ll definitely be back!“

“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🥰“

“Muy buena👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Mmmmm Good Stuff! Best frozen dessert ever“

“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!!“

“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 🤣“

“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.“

“I stopped by Cloud Tea recently and had a really good experience. The menu has plenty of bubble tea options, and everything tastes fresh. I ordered a Coconut smoothie and the sweetness level was perfect, with nice chewy tapioca pearls,The staff was friendly and the place had a relaxed vibe great for a quick drink or hanging out with friends. I will definitely be coming back to try more flavors!“

“Jaziel was amazing! His energy and passion stood out the entire time, and his performance was powerful from start to finish. His team was also super welcoming and created such a good vibe , you could really feel the unity and love for what they do!“

“Yummy froyo with yummy toppings 😘“

“We frequent this location all the time, the staff is wonderful and one of the girls even knows my son's order by heart! The owner does a lot for the schools and surrounding community! This Dairy Queen is definitely our go-to location!“

“The cookies are very good. The frosting is yummy! The person was very nice. I would recommend it for those who have a sweet tooth. 😉 I did not take pics but it is the same thing on the website. They have 7 different kind of cookies, large or small.“

“Excellent ice cream and fudge!!“

“The peppermint frozen yogurt cake was delicious! The perfect Christmas dessert!“

“I love this store my family and I have been going to this store since I was a little kid. I got my wife a custom Ice Cream cake for her Birthday and she loved it. Highly Recommend!“

“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!“

“There are a lot of mixed reviews here. Our experience was great! The lady behind the counter was super nice and answered the few questions we had. The cookies were amazing (lucky for us, it was a Dubai chocolate cookie week). Everything was clean, nice and pleasant. We'll be back!“

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

“Fast service Good response“

“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.“

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

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

“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! 🍵💚“

“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 🍦💛“

“On a pleasant evening, we stopped by Chick n’ Fizz. We ordered boneless chicken wings, tater tots and sweet potato tots. They were all very delicious and satisfying to eat. Especially paired with the complementary sauce bar that we had a blast trying all the different kinds of flavors. Highly recommended. It was our first time here and we absolutely enjoyed it. The service is great to Cheri and David are very lovely. As well as, of course, the retro atmosphere is very cool. Will revisit again, awesome!“

“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.“

“Usually great service and people, but you guys missed the mark tonight. The delivery person outside tried to give me at least 3 different orders that weren’t ours, and when we got home the chicken nuggets were missing the sauce, and the chili was missing the toppings and sour cream. Not a great outing tonight.“

“awesome awesome ice cream“

“Dairy Queen has always been about the ice cream and sundaes. However some people like myself eat the Chilli dogs and other food items offered. The food is average and definitely could use a new updated menu with more options. The customer service was great and she helped explain the menu items for me. The reason I gave 3 stars for atmosphere is because it's quite drewy in the building and it also could use an update. ENJOY!!“

“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!!“

“To the staff at Libertyville Culver’s, thank you so much for taking care of Hanna during her Special Needs Transition Pathways work program. Hanna loved working there. Not to worry, we love Culverts and Hanna will be back!“

“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!!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“This location is always clean, very welcoming and has friendly workers. They are patient with you ordering and making customizations. Very short wait time for food. Chicken was hot, crispy and had a great taste. Always enjoy stopping by for tenders or butter burgers. We love ordering the family size onion rings!“

“Small little place with SO MANY options. Love it here! Even when we come in close to closing the staff is friendly and helpful and makes our orders correctly and lets us take our time deciding what we want. Cute place with a few seats inside and more outside. Will be back soon!“

“Culver’s at mount prospect is a really nice and friendly place specially one employee...!!! I dont know his name but he makes every guest feels welcome..!!! And the food is really good..!! My daughters love chicken tenders and ice cream 🍨“

“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!“

“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.“
