50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Deer Park

“I recently visited Cold Stone Creamery and had a great experience. The store was clean and very well-maintained, which made it feel comfortable right away.

The staff was friendly and welcoming. They were patient while taking my order and made sure everything was prepared just the way I wanted.

I tried the “Mix & Go Create Your Own” and also the Chocolate Devotion, both were delicious. The ice cream was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The Chocolate Devotion was especially amazing, very rich in chocolate and absolutely yummy. The mix-ins were fresh and blended perfectly.

Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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🥰“

“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!“

“Every time I have been here the employees are super nice and their edible cookie dough is to die for“

“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.“

“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!“

He got a Mango Pomelo and I got Chocolate with mint chips.

I love the decorations and a good amount of options to either eat or drink.“

“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.“

“We absolutely loved the smoothies and the rolled ice cream! Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared.

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

“Comet Frozen Custard is one of the best local spots in Rolling Meadows! The frozen custard is always fresh, creamy, and packed with flavor. They have a great variety of daily flavors and toppings, so there’s always something new to try.

The staff is consistently friendly, the service is quick, and the atmosphere has that classic neighborhood ice cream stand feel that keeps people coming back. Whether you’re stopping in for a cone, sundae, shake, or just a coffee, everything is made with care.

It’s a family-owned business that truly cares about its customers and community. If you’re looking for a great dessert spot in the northwest suburbs, Comet Frozen Custard is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“releaf is located in the food court of Mitsuwa. I tried the coffee ice cream and the chocolate ice cream. The coffee ice cream had a yummy coffee flavor, and chocolate is always delicious. The ice cream had a very good texture, too. I'd like to try the matcha ice cream on my next visit.
They provided a little wooden stick which was adequate for my ice cream eating purposes.
The food court has a nicer ambience than your average food court in a mall.“

“Cold Stone is absolutely amazing! The flavors are rich, creamy, and clearly made with care—every scoop tastes fresh and delicious. There are so many options to choose from, from classic favorites to fun, unique flavors, so there’s truly something for everyone. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. The shop itself has a cozy, happy vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your ice cream instead of rushing out. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to anyone who loves great ice cream! 🍦“

“I usually come to have ice-cream in this Dairy Queens. I love the taste of each & every flavor here. Very very mouth watering items are always there. The behaviour of all staff members is so good & polite with happy gestures that one would like to visit here frequently.
I am a Big fan of this place… I love Dairy Queen’s Ice-cream especially at this place.“

“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 🍨“

“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.“

“Amazing ice cream :) great place to get a scoop“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“
