35 Best Ice Cream Shops near Grayslake

“We stopped by to try BR's version of the Mangonada. It looked very colorful and mouth watering. It's more of a smoothie than an ice cream, which explains why the guy looked at me weird when I asked for a spoon ?. So besides getting over the difference in consistency, it's Really Good! I started eating it with a spoon and then just gave up and stuck the straw in ?. It's a nice twist on the original Mangonada. I will definitely buy again!“

“Culver’s Grayslake is my 32nd Culver’s. As someone else in the reviews said, “You can’t go wrong with Culver’s.” I visited on Friday, May 23, 2025. Their ice cream always hits the spot and I couldn’t believe how great business was going. The staff was friendly and respectful and overall the mood and atmosphere of Culver’s in Grayslake, Illinois was awesome! (Written 5-30-25)“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere, delightful,delicious ice cream and great prices.“

“Awesome customer service and delicious ice cream served with a smile. We tried the peach cobbler and the Mississippi mud slide. YUM! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“SMOOTH FLAVORED YOGURT!Healthy alternative to sugary treats :)We were in the mall and happened to stumble upon this place. It’s a nice spot for hangouts. Great flavors and toppings. The gentleman at the front was very polite and friendly. He walked me through the steps for purchasing a cup. My son enjoyed the mango and strawberry yogurt topped with popping bobas.“

“Can never go wrong with their cookies!!! We love them! I do wish the service was faster and the atmosphere was more enjoyable or entertaining. It's quite boring and can be uncomfortable waiting in a long line, packed in a small area at the front of the store.“

“This location is very clean, organized, attentive, and has a good aura! I come here to pick up snacks or drinks to bring to family or friends. This is a new favorite spot for sure. The best part is that it is close distant! Variety of items to choose out of! Stop by to give it a go!

Parking: Tons of space to park whether your vehicle is big or small!“

“So this past June marked my very first time visiting a Crumbl Cookies. I guess I musta been living under rock (actually no) but apparently I misunderstood the concept behind the famed bakery.When I first walked in and browsed the menu, I was like "only 6 different types of cookies?" Well ok then, guess I'll try each one times 2. I eventually found out from my stepdaughter that there's a rotation each week which makes perfect sense.These cookies are outstanding: they stay soft, moist & flavorful for several days and the price which may seem high to some is definitely worth it. The ability to add on to the cookies is ideal as well.Customer service is down-to-earth friendly and helpful and as long as they keep baking that yummy goodness with consistency, I'll keep coming back for more.“

“Always a great treat whether I'm with the family or not and especially on a hot summer day/night, Cold Stone really hits the spot. But even when it gets cold out, still fun to go to even during a brutal Chicago area winter.This is probably the one ice cream parlor around compared to others that has a huge emphasis on toppings/creations which is definitely their strong point.Always a great selection of flavors between their regular year round and seasonal flavors, prices still seem reasonable although the high-end ice cream chain has never really been cheap and customer service remains consistently good in an always spiffy clean/sanitized atmosphere.CSC obviously does battle with competitors such as Oberweis up the road and Graeter's. When it comes to taste and quality, this place lives up to the price and my kids are well worth it anytime of the year.Only con (which doesn't drag down a 5⭐️ rating) about this place is the parking lot which can be greatly limited especially on wknd nights when nearby Giordano's gets packed. You may find yourself having to park east across the street from Starbucks and walking a bit of distance.“

“The Lakemoor location is great. The employees are always friendly. The cones are still as delicious as they were way back when I was young. They don’t skimp on the ice cream. Go, get an Original Rainbow cone. You will not be disappointed. Yum.?“

“Food is awesome here, and every kids meal comes with a free ice cream, my daughter instantly fell in love when she found that out. Now she wants to go all the time. She loved the burger and fries also but the free ice cream excited her lol.“

“Please do consider booking Sweet Home Gelato for your wedding! Each flavor offered is incredibly tasty. The pricing is extremely fair for catering and much more affordable compared to other vendors. My wedding was scheduled for August 8,2020. But due to Covid-19, we unfortunately had to cancel. Janice was extremely compassionate, understanding and flexible during the whole process. Sweet Home Gelato was the most compassionate and flexible vendor. It is not easy to cancel a wedding, unfortunately many vendors were not as accommodating. Janice immediately offered a refund, date change or gift card for the deposit. Sweet Home Gelato was under no circumstance required to issue a refund. Please do consider supporting this small business that is run by good people!“

“I have never had an issue coming here, the employees are always very sweet and make orders in a timely manner. I absolutely love the icecream from here.Delicious stuff, keep up the good service!!

Kid-friendliness: Great place to take the family !!“

“My favorite DQ! My son is currently obsessed with DQ and he likes this area because the seating is right next to the road. The staff has always been great, too!My cup of sprinkles fell while leaving and they replaced my cup for free! ?Sometimes tricky to get in/out of the lot, but otherwise love it!“

“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.“

“I appreciate Little Bean for having multiple HEALTHY vegan options always available on their menu, which has been extremely difficult to find in this area. The chickpea wrap is delicious, and just ask to have it as a bowl to make it also gluten free! 🥗 Their chais with oatmilk have always been my favorite drink. They ARE also a carrier of desserts from Holcomb Hollow, which are both vegan and gluten free! I very much enjoyed treating myself to a Little Bean visit while living in Antioch 💓“

“awesome awesome ice cream“

“THEY HAVE MY FAVORITE BOBA IN THE WORLD !!!!!!!“

“Great experience Owner of Comfort Gurnee recommended and even provided a gift card to try your ice cream !! He’s a big fan !!!“

“By far our favorite neighborhood place to go! We are pretty close and take out often. The gyro and chicken gyro are phenomenal, along with the chicken Philly and burgers. I truly don't think we have had anything sub-par. But even better, is the price. Especially for the quality of the food, the price point keeps up coming back over and over.“

“My husband Gary and I and our adorable baby fefe just walked over to Dairy Queen for the free vanilla ice cream cones. And I got my vanilla ice cream cone with the chocolate coating and it was absolutely delicious! the ice cream is always fresh and delicious and the employees are always so friendly. Keep up the good work and thank you so very much for our free delicious vanilla ice cream cones they were so delicious and very yummy. My husband Gary and I and our adorable baby fefe are really looking forward to seeing you guys at mundelein days and Vernon hills days this year as well. ??????????‍⬛“

“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!!“

“Double Butterburgers!!👍👍👍👍👍“

“Went to get corn in a cup plz plz make sure ask customers how much cheese and mayo they want cause I barly get any cheese and mayo on my corn on a cup and I know it's the person making it cause I gotten different ppl attending me and they make bomb azz corn in a cub“

“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!“

“My boss ordered online for our lunch a couple times we had butter burgers one day then Tim had cod fish dinner I had fish sandwich and Matt had chicken tenders that I had to pick up. The fish seemed to give Tim a upset belly cause I had to help him to the bathroom at the job at trampoline park we did pit for foam pit.“

“Pizza was fantastic!!! We will be ordering again!!!“

“Haven't had/been there in so long. It's been like 6 or 7 years. Possibly like 2018 or 2019. Customer Service went well, Concrete Mixer is so good, Restaurant is cleanliness even the floors and I will be returning! Good job Culvers in Antioch! ❤️“

“Omg!!! My new favorite ice cream shop! Fun, exotic flavors. And awesome employees.“

“I’m lucky to be right next to Michoacán a Pedir de Boca at the mall! Their treats are seriously the best. Fresh fruit, ice cream, elote, amazing drink flavors, and a friendly staff that makes you feel welcome every time. I’ve been to many Michoacanas, and this one has the best fresh fruit drinks I’ve had (agua de fruta is my favorite). I haven’t even had the chance to try everything yet, but if you’re at Gurnee Mills, you’ve got to stop by. Great people, great treats…can’t recommend them enough!“

“I just left this location. I think they said their names were Claudia and some thing else I can’t remember the other girls name but they’re amazing.!! I come here probably four times if not five times a week before work to get my coffee donuts sometimes a bagel and they are always fast and very lovely and easy to deal with in the morning.. I feel like in the last couple years. Customer service has went way down in the area but this Dunkin’ Donuts location. The girls that work early in the morning are awesome.“

“The donuts are fantastic but the place itself is gross. The floor is sticky and looks like it hasn't been swept or mopped in days. No napkins available and when we asked the staff said their boss hadn't ordered any paper goods or cleaning supplies in a while. The bathroom didn't have toilet paper, soap or paper towels either and was disgusting. I wonder if they even have soap in the kitchen to wash their hands. I don't think it's dramatic to say the health department should probably be called.“

“Vanilla shake is the best I’ve ever had! Food was excellent and staff was friendly! Highly recommend Fox Lake Culver’s!“

“I was very happy with the employees that worked there, but i gave it a one-star for the food. I was very disappointed in the twist cone I received. It was like eating whipped cream. Don't get me wrong, I like whipped cream but not as a cone. The reason why it was like this is because the machine wasn't calibrated correctly in the beginning, or they ran out of mix, and when they added more mix. And then the machine when out of calibration. I know this because I worked in the food industry for 35 years.“
