50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Forest Park

“My adorable little niece turned 3 over the weekend and she could not get over her Barbie cake made by you guys!! Aside from the cake completely nailing the Barbie theme, it also tasted amazing!! Prior to this, my husband and I who live in Oak Park, have only frequented The Brown Cow for ice cream and shakes but now we will absolutely be coming here for cakes for special events!!!“

“Fast & friendly service & clean“

“All the five-star reviews are 100% spot on. Everything was absolutely fantastic—packed with flavor and incredibly smooth. We tried a vegan flavor and a couple others on a cone, and everything was delicious. I also noticed they have sandwiches now, so I’m definitely looking forward to coming back to try those!“

“I came here last night and let me tell you not only does the place look cool as hell. The customer service is excellent. Mohammad served us, and from the moment we walked in he offered a couple in line some water. Without skipping a beat he saw my girl and i and offered us some brownie bites and samples of ice cream. That dude is truly amazing with the customers. The ice cream was great as well. This place and its service deserve more than 5 stars.“

( trust me ) great way to make extra money for all your hard work. Keep doing a fantastic job.. A+“

“We had a wonderful experience at Amorino! We’re visiting from Spain, and it was such a pleasure to be served by Domenica and Mateo, who spoke Spanish with us, making communication so easy and comfortable.

They were both incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. They gave us excellent recommendations and made us feel very well taken care of throughout our visit. Their friendly attitude and outstanding customer service made our experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Domenica and Mateo!“

“Finally got to come and visit Betty's ice cream. We were not disappointed. Very affordable. Just for 1 classic banana split, 3 banana split cups, 1 classic vanilla cone just a little over 35 bucks. Not to mention the chocolate covered bananas and milkshake shakes, spot on 👌.“

“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...“

“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!!!“

“Ohhh sweet summer flavors and memories are found at Xurro! They have a great menu of many ways to get your sugar fix from sundaes to smoothies and seasonal flavors too. You can even get a variety of flavors in your ice cream base, vanilla or strawberry or Superman! It being my first time I decided on a classic sundae with churros and I was pleasantly surprised. The churros are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and have the perfect dusting of sugar. It was gone before I made it home! A little on the higher side for price but it’s fair for all that you get.“

“Anyone that gave Amorino or is thinking about giving Amorino less than 5 stars, has no idea what quality gelato is. The flavors and quality are superb! Better than any other place that exists. Especially the places that over charge for ice cream that tastes like chemicals. The staff are extremely welcoming, kind and helpful! The place is warm and inviting. I drive from the northwest suburbs just for Amorino! Please open another location near woodfield mall! Or better yet, near Oakbrook!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Authentic Italian restaurant and grocery store. We had the pizza and gelato!!! We had a good experience here! Be sure to bring cash because they're cash only!! I want to come back here and try their chicken parmesan, it looks really good!“

“I love your delicious products, very clean everything super economical, besides the owner treats her employees very well, she teaches them with love.“

“Amazing place best customer service and everything is delicious 😋“

“Tasty, tasty, tasty! Husband and I both loved our choices!“

“Popped in and this spot is so cute and super clean too. Grabbed a half dozen got the chocolate chip and red velvet plus Bake Me Crazy. Every single one was huge soft and still warm when I got them. Chocolate chip was gooey in the middle just how I love it red velvet had that perfect cream cheese frosting not too sweet. Bake Me Crazy was chef’s kiss such a fun combo. Love seeing what new flavors they roll out each week always excited to come back.“

“We are a family of 5 who enjoyed everything we ordered! The service went above and beyond our expectations. While consuming our food we also had the opportunity to witness how everyone was greeted and treated wonderfully. There were games available for the children to play it was very fun for our entire family. Just to share a little more about the level of attention we received my four-year-old was completely terrified of the Easter Bunny I was talking to her about how it was someone in a costume similar to when she dresses up in costumes or princess dresses staff was willing to take off the Easter bunny mask to ensure my daughter felt safe and secure this changed the whole visit for her she was no longer scared still very cautious but not scared and was able to enjoy eating her tamale♥️ I would most definitely recommend this place to others! ♥️“

“The best chocolate shakes!“

“Amazing custard and the waffle cone is bomb“

“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.“

“Stopped in prior to an appointment down the road at Hines VA. Absolutely amazing customer service, (I wish I asked for the employees name, my receipt says Liz) but she was the friendliest, warmest, most pleasant person! I ordered fresas con crema and agua fresca de sandia, both are so delicious! I will definitely be visiting this place again! Thank you again for a wonderful experience!!“

“The cookies are amazing as always! Staff can try to be a little more friendlier they give the factory worker feel (hot miserable & not trying to be there). Doesn’t feel welcoming but thankfully I’m not there for them 🤪 there for the cookiesss but a lil customer service goes a long way & if that’s too much try smiling it’s contagious! 😊“

“We walked past this spot on our way to the book store. My son spotted it right away and insisted we stop. I got a chocolate chip cookie and it was amazing. I was surprised by how soft and tasty the cookie was.

Overall, a great spot to get a tasty cookie treat.“

“highly recommend, good food, great staff!!!“

“Everything I have tasted from here had been excellent ,I am especially fond of their chocolate doughnuts,, sweet rolls and their Cannoli cake is great.“

“The ice-cream is very good. The staff is extremely friendly. We'll definitely come back when in the area.“

“Great neighborhood locations. Definitely a favorite for sports teams and celebrations like first day of school. Good selection of premade frozen treats and cakes as well. Even if there is a line out the door (and there usually is) service is fast and friendly. Great ice cream And generous portions“

“Quite possibly THE best ice cream in Chicago with its old time ice cream parlor vibe. Well worth the wait, though, and you WILL wait, especially in the summer, as there's not a lot of seating. Still, if you've never been, you need to visit!“
