“A must-visit for ice cream lovers! Great service, spotless space, and a fun atmosphere that turns a simple ice cream stop into a memorable experience. The décor is delightful, charming, and, whimsical. And, of course, the ice cream itself is divine — rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. Whether you go classic chocolate or try one of their inventive seasonal creations, you can taste the quality.“

“Went yesterday to see what all the hype was about and boy was I blown away! The helado de coco is the best I have ever had and I am born and raised in PR!! Keep up the great work!“

“So delicious and so special to us!!! Black Dog Gelato is incredible - truly the best in Chicago. Every flavor is amazing and their team is impeccable. My husband used to live by their Damen & Iowa location and then we lived together near their Logan Square location when it was open. Our first date ended at Black Dog, and our dog is named Gelato (nicknamed Jelly). For our wedding this year, we had Black Dog in place of a wedding cake. They were so excellent to work with for this event. We had three of their standard flavors and one special flavor, which was “wedding cake” aka birthday cake without the sprinkles and with an added “Jelly” swirl. Everyone was obsessed!!! It was a perfect personal touch to the day and everything tasted SO good!!!“

“Great Custard, hot dogs, & Service!“

“Thank you for amazing tasty ice cream!“

“Great neighborhood place for an easy family outing.“

“Sweet Oasis is Awesome . Great selection of ice cream . We absolutely ❤️ LOVE this place.! Generous amount of ice cream & fair prices. U guys ROCK ! I think you guys should have T-shirts made for sale. The retro T-shirts that your employees wear are super cool 😎. And I know you’d sell them like hotcakes.. ( trust me ) great way to make extra money for all your hard work. Keep doing a fantastic job.. A+“

“We stopped by during the Kith Treats and Margie’s Candies Halloween pop-up 🍦 and loved every part of it. The collaboration was creative and fun, blending Margie’s classic charm with Kith’s playful style 🎃 The Turtle Sundae and Caramel Apple Ice Cream Sandwich were both delicious and unique 🍫🍏 The staff were welcoming and the atmosphere was full of energy ✨ It was the perfect mix of nostalgia and modern flavor 💫“

“Best ice cream ever! Staff is amazing!“

“When I lived in Chicago, I loved going here. It was like time travel back to the Sixties (I didn‘t live during that time period but I could imagine…). Their strawberry/vanilla malts were to die for. Now and then, a skinny little boy was sitting all by himself at one of the tables, in front of him a huge serving of ice cream - was it their son or their grandson? I don’t know. But it must have been heaven for him growing up in an ice cream parlor.
Fond memories of a wonderful place.“

“Came here after the Zoo this evening with the family. The young man and young woman running the shop were really nice and polite. I got the cucumber lime and spicy watermelon ice cream. it was amazing. Reasonably priced also.“

“OMG Betty ice cream is the very Best ice cream in Chicago. I been coming here for many years. The elderly husband and wife are so kind and wonderful service. Best prices and great large portions and please ask them to dipp your cone in frozen chocolate is incredible. Sometimes is big line but is worth your wait and bring cash. There old school elderly couple with no credit card. Only cash“

“Had my first visit to Amorino and it definitely won’t be the last! The gelato was absolutely delicious with so many unique flavors to choose from. A big shoutout to Gabby, who made the experience even better with her friendly and welcoming attitude—she was so helpful and patient while I decided. Great service and even better gelato!“

“I had my doubts upon walking in because of the look of the space but I was very pleasantly surprised! The churros are fresh, crunchy on the outside and gooey on the side with delicious various fillings
I will be going again to try the other things on the menu“

“Crepes were delicious 👍“

“Triple Scoopd is our go to ice cream shop in Park Ridge. Not only is the ice cream delicious but the shop is so cute and the staff goes above and beyond. Best ice cream shop in Park Ridge by FAR!!!“

“The place was nice and clean. I was greeted immediately. The young lady was knowledgeable about the menu and polite. She informed me and asked me if I would like certain things on my funnel cake before putting anything else outside what it's served with. The Funnel Cake was fresh along with the fruit. I will be back. I recommend this place.“

“Todo está delicioso y muy buena atención“

“Bug in my ice- cream. no thank you. when I brought this to the workers and they just said sorry and continued working... what about the ice cream with the bug? how many bugs are there. my son had oreo ice cream.. YUK! Never again we will go there...“

“La Michoacana Fresa is the real deal for a sweet treat. I grabbed a couple of their Fresas con Crema paletas—strawberry chunks swirled in creamy goodness. Also tried the Arroz con Leche popsicle; it was like dessert in a bite. The place is clean, the staff is chill, and the flavors hit every time. Spent about $15, and it was worth every penny. Definitely coming back for more.“

“Let’s face it. There are La Michoacana ice cream stores on every other block on North Clark. We stopped here for dessert and it’s easily our favorite! The helado (ice cream) is to die for! The coconut is outstanding as is Abuela’s Chocolate. There are regular flavors and some (Rum Raisin!) are so creative and delicious. And the paletas! The BEST Arroz, Fresa, Mango, Coconut...the list goes on. And the couple that run the place are just the sweetest people! Highly recommended.“

“Best ice cream ever!!!! I am an ice cream snob when I’m on vacation. I have to have it every day and I walked miles to that ice cream parlor this week the owner and the boy Jake that worked there was such awesome people too. I will definitely be back. I went tonight because I’m leaving in the morning sorted caramel chunk.!!!! you will not be disappointed“

“Love their yogurts, cleanliness and service.“

“Les recomiendo el yogurt de nuez 😋“

“I visited here yesterday for the first time and I absolutely loved it! First off, it has such a quaint vibe that is welcoming and calming. Then, the lady at the counter greeted me warmly and explained a bit about their options. I ended up going with a box of five truffles: traditional, cookies and cream, coconut, coffee, and strawberry. At first, I was a bit concerned about the price, but when I took that first bite, I realized it was worth it. Each of the truffles I tried were so delicious, genuinely the best chocolate I've had in so long. My favorite was the cookies and cream, as it had a perfect balance of the cookie crumbles with the chocolate inside. I also really enjoyed the coconut, which is saying a lot as I don't usually like coconut, but this truffle had the perfect amount of coconut where it was not overwhelming but complemented the chocolate. The worker also gave us a free sample of their fudge gelato which tasted great as well! She also mentioned that they add a little something special in the boxes if it's a gift for someone, so this would be a great gift for any chocolate lovers you know. Definitely worth the price and 5/5 stars all around, will be going back very soon!“

“I heard a lot about this place through out the years! I have tried to stop in but for 1 reason or another it was closed so let’s dive into this review. Incredible Fantastic Phenomenal Amazing Spectacular Food! Freddy’s is the Famiglia on Holidays and your Nona’s and Zia’s all cooking pumping out hot fresh delicious food from all the Kitchens
(typically 2 in most Italian households 1 upstairs and 1 in bashement) lol 😂
Freddy’s is like I went back to 1990’s St.Calistus St.Joseph’s table. Stop in the Food Service and Establishment all live up to its promises. You can not have a bad meal here.

“The best cookies that I tried!
When I went for the first time I needed a seller because this work like self service, they help me and were so kind. Cookies are expensive but so delicious. The store is too small and it’s confuse because there are two lines, one for order and one for pickup, because of the size of the store it’s kind a mess“

“This is such a great addition to our village. Great place for family to gather and have a yogurt, Boba tea, smoothies or my absolute favorite, Vietnamese Hot Coffee. Don't forget to support local businesses.“
