“Hands down the best ice cream I’ve ever had.
Real fruit in every scoop,especially the blueberry and peach, which taste like homemade jam.

“it is a great ice cream parlor“

“I’m a foodie, always down to explore unique flavors. And this place has many. Cafe con Leche, figs with cognac, Merlot with berries -YES! That one was my favorite. The authenticity of coffee and wine was very interesting to find in ice cream. The only thing I missed was the basic, crispy cones (they might’ve been out I didn’t ask) - the ones they had were way too sweet.“

“Best yogurt hands down!“

“My husband walked by Graeter’s with our daschund Teddy today. One of the employees was handing out super cute Graeter Icecream dog leashes and a cup of dog icecream. What a treat! We already loved Graeter’s icecream and the delicious flavors, but now Teddy is a huge fan too! Thank you!“

“Stopped by Churro Parlor in Lakeview, and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and inviting. Jennifer was absolutely amazing—she took the time to explain the menu, offered great recommendations, and made sure we had the best experience. The churros were fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. We tried a few different flavors, and each one was better than the last! The dipping sauces were the perfect complement. Whether you’re a churro lover or just looking for a sweet treat, this spot is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back! Virtual review : @iam.shonnaaaa“
