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!“

“I had such a great experience at Amorino! Zymal and Emiliano were both incredibly friendly and made the visit even better. They were patient, helpful, and gave great recommendations for the gelato flavors. The customer service was outstanding, and the gelato was delicious. I’ll definitely be coming 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!“

“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.“

“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 absolutely love having this boba shop so close to our home! I’ve been here a couple of times now, and Beck and Asem have always been so kind, genuine, and welcoming. You can really tell that they care about their customers and genuinely want you to enjoy your drink. They even take the time to ask if you like it and make sure you’re happy with it, which I really appreciate.

It’s also so nice to have a small, friendly local place within walking distance. I’ve really enjoyed my visits here, and the people who work here make the experience even better. They’re both such lovely people, and I’m happy to support them. Highly recommend stopping by! 🧋❤“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Mmmmm Good Stuff! Best frozen dessert ever“

“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🥰“

I did not try the escape room, might have been still there…..“

“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!“

“Changing my review here! I said I never be back to this location but my normal one was closed due to something, I got the back to school line up and OMG every cookie was just amazing Much love you guys definitely are doing amazing. Much better than 2 weeks ago! You maybe my weekly Crumbl Monday a good one.“

“This is a small ice cream shop with some very good, but also some very strange flavors (like Durian or Black Sesame). They gladly give out samples, so make sure you try a flavor out before buying.

The sizes are on the small size for the price. It was close to $40 for 4 of us to get cones.

The place also has been redecorated for Initial D instead of Doraemon.“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“Muy buena👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

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

“The people working are very nice, and they will make whatever you want if they have the ingredients. Ankit the owner is very community oriented. every time I walk in there I'm just visiting some friends.“

“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.“

“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 😋“

“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.“

“Excellent ice cream and fudge!!“

“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!“

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

“Fast service Good response“

“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 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!“

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

“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! 🍦“

“My niece and nephew ordered a kids meal which was supposed to come with ice cream. When they went up to the counter, the employee mentioned that it needs to be purchased on the app. With them not having a clear understanding that the ice cream was included in their kids meal and was on the receipt, the manager got involved and said she will write it in the book so when they come in next, they will receive the free ice cream. Fast forward a couple weeks later, sure enough the manager did leave the name in the book and the kids were able to get the free ice cream. Shout out to the manager because anyone could have said sure we’ll write your name and not take it seriously. I don’t know your name but thank you for following through on your word. I’m not sure if there’s a way to recognize you, I hope this helps!“

“After a bday cake fail at home (eek) we called and this DQ saved the day! The employees are so kind and patient and we’re so cute writing birthday notes on my daughter’s cake! And the ice cream is delish! Five stars!!“

“SweetSpot is great. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Doreen is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing frozen ice. Must come back. 10/10.“

“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.“

“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 🍦💛“

“This is my son, he’s a Luries Children hospital patient! MUNDELEIN, Dairy Queen continues to be a wonderful part of our community not just for the great treats, but for the difference they make. They support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and help families at Lurie Children’s Hospital through Miracle Treat Day.
As a Lurie Children’s family, this cause is especially meaningful to us. Knowing that something as simple as buying a BLIZZARD Treat can help provide life-changing care for kids.
Thank you, Dairy Queen, for giving back and supporting children and families when they need it most. If you’re looking for a reason to treat yourself on July 30, this is it! ❤️🍦“

“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.“

“This was my first time visiting this place. I must say, The customer service, food, and atmosphere was way above what I was expecting. I usually do not like custard ice cream(I have tried 4 places before here), my partner said just try it. But before we finished our food, I was given a sample and I loved it. I don't know what they do differently. But it was excellent. I'm definitely making sure when I visit again this Culver's will be my first stop for food.“

“We got a custom birthday cake made here after trying nearly every place we could think of for an Among Us-themed ice cream cake. Pretty much everyone declined, with some even telling us what we wanted was impossible. The DQ team, however, actually took on the challenge, and wow, did they deliver!

They made us a custom Choco Brownie Extreme Blizzard Cake with extra chocolate frosting, and it was absolutely incredible. The team that worked on it, including Chinar, went above and beyond from the moment they accepted our unusual request. They shared our excitement, worked with our idea, and created something that exceeded every expectation we had.

We've had A LOT of cakes over the years, but this was honestly unlike anything we've had before. Calling it a perfect 10/10 somehow still feels like an understatement. It was THAT delicious!

We cannot recommend this DQ location highly enough, especially if you're looking for an amazing custom ice cream cake. A huge thank you to Chinar and every single member of the team who accepted our request, shared in our excitement, and ultimately created a birthday cake that will forever be etched in our memories as one of the most delicious cakes we've ever had. You guys absolutely nailed it! ❤“

“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.
