It's hard to find such a place these days.

If you’re a fan of ice cream, you’ll definitely want to come back after trying it! Support local quality business!!!“

“This location is best approached as a modern, fusion-style snack and dessert spot, not a traditional La Michoacana street-food stand — and once you understand that, it’s actually a fun experience.

While the name points toward classic Mexican treats, the menu is much broader and global. You’ll find Indian street food, Nepali momos, fusion fries, masala flavors, lassis, aguas frescas, and desserts all sharing the same space. It’s less about authenticity and more about variety and creativity.

The food was very good. The momos were delicious, and the loaded fries were a standout — flavorful, generous, and well executed. Everything we tried tasted fresh and satisfying.

A big plus is that the entire menu is halal, which is rare for this kind of snack-and-dessert concept and makes it especially appealing for families and groups with mixed tastes.

The ambience is simple and casual — more functional than trendy — but the customer service absolutely makes up for it. The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely warm, which leaves a great impression.

If you’re looking for pure, traditional Mexican La Michoacana street food, this may not match that expectation. But if you’re open to a modern, multicultural twist with solid food and great hospitality, it’s definitely worth checking out.“

“Delicious 🤤 10/10 recommend!!“

“★★★★★ A Hidden Gem That Will Sweeten Your Life
Having frequented Parlor on Central since this summer, I've been holding onto a delicious secret that I can no longer keep to myself. This ice cream shop is nothing short of extraordinary, and I'm compelled to share my experience after countless visits (let's just say my rewards account has seen plenty of action).

What sets Parlor on Central apart is their remarkable creativity with flavors. I've made it my personal mission to sample their entire menu – yes, even the vegan and dairy-free options – and each flavor has been a delightful discovery. Their seasonal offerings are particularly impressive, introducing unexpected combinations that somehow always work perfectly.

The attention to detail extends beyond just the ice cream. Whether you prefer your scoops nestled in one of their various cone options or presented in a classic cup, the presentation is always Instagram-worthy. While I think they've recently expanded their menu beyond ice cream, I remain loyal to their frozen creations, which have yet to disappoint.

But what truly elevates this establishment is the exceptional customer service. The staff's genuine enthusiasm for their craft is evident in every interaction. They're always ready with a warm smile and eager to help you discover your next favorite flavor through their generous sampling policy. It's rare to find service this consistently outstanding, especially in an ice cream parlor.
Pro tip: Don't forget to join their rewards program. Trust me, at the rate you'll want to return, those free scoops add up quickly. I might be their most frequent customer (averaging twice weekly visits – but please don't tell my doctor!).

In a city with plenty of dessert options, Parlor on Central stands out as a must-visit destination. It's more than just an ice cream shop; it's a place where every visit feels special, and every scoop tells a story. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and experience what might just become your new favorite ice cream destination -- regardless of the weather! Yes, today with the temperature in the 20's and windchill in the teens, I had the mint chocolate. Burrr-Yumm!!!“

“Excellent ice cream and fudge!!“

“They have the best ice cream! So good I normally only eat 1 scoop but when I go here I get 2 or 3 because they're so good. The employees are so nice, especially the teenage girls. The girl with blond highlights and the girl with dark hair are so sweet! On vacation I went to a gelato place, thier gelato was FULL OF SUGAR all I tasted was sugar but here I actually taste the flavor. The flavors are so good. I 100% recommend the banana and strawberry .I would have given this place six stars but it only goes up to 5.“

“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!“

“We love these cookies! The chocolate chip is always a family favorite but we like the fun of the variety too. Curbside or delivery service are a huge plus!

Vegetarian options: Dessert!

Parking: Huge lot. Dedicated spots for curbside service.

Kid-friendliness: Nowhere to eat inside. But the flavors are always exciting for the kids. Especially the extras like shark gummies.“

“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! 🍵💚“

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

“Very good service... I highly recommend the place...“

“Best 🍧 around!!! I had the extra large pineapple 🍍 banana 🍌“

“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!“

“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.“

“We had a great experience for my sons second birthday. The truck was the talk of the party and the kids loved it. Very professional and reliable.“

“Often drive over an hour for their delicious offerings! This shop is a must for any sweet lover!!“

“GREAT ATMOSPHERE- GREAT COFFEE & that Ham & Cheese Roll was amazing“

“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 🍦💛“

“I have to shout out the kid who was working December 13 at 4pm. You were polite, friendly, and despite serving both the counter and the drive thru, you didn’t get flustered and acknowledged everyone’s patience. Thank you for being so kind when I called looking for a cake for my daughter after another location chose not to tell me they were out of stock of what I’d ordered and already paid for (to anyone reading, STAY AWAY FROM THIRD LAKE LOCATION). You helped me make sure my daughter had the cake she wanted for her 18th birthday. I appreciate your willingness to serve others!“

“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.“

“My husband LOVES the double burger & the delicious strawberry shakes! We ordered two more to go! The fries are so tasty and crispy!! Yum, yum!! 😋😋😋“

“I love cocomero. I came in here after a long and hard day at work. I was welcomed right away. The Cake batter yogurt is so good. If only my husband could please me like the yogurt does. The thick and cold yogurt is so good. I love the little fruit balls the have juice inside. Will be coming (coming back here because my husband can’t make me come) ?“

“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!“
