“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.“

“This Glenview, Illinois most Iconic Building!! Everyone in Glenview cant wait for the first sign of Spring--and the ♥Dairy Bar provides that for us every year!!“

“Came here with the first time with my wife and we absolutely loved it! The food was very unique; It was a fusion of Mexican, Korean, and Indian food. We ordered the Korean BBQ tacos and the chicken tikka pizza. Food came out fresh and right out of the oven. The customer service was also exceptional. The owner was very accommodating despite there being a large party before us. After having our food, we made our way to the ice cream station. They had so many flavors!!! From green tea, ube, strawberry cheesecake, Cookie Monster, etc. They even had specialty popsicles that I can only get when I’m in California or Mexico. This place is a gem. I wish I would have gone to this place sooner. My wife and I will definitely be going back!“

“Staff is always friendly and answer any of your questions. The popsicles come in even more flavors than the already vast ice cream choices. Just beware that some of the popsicles taste icy or have weak flavor. The ones that have cream/milk inside are much better.“

“Just had the ice cream, which was yummy! Next time we’ll stop for lunch & ice cream!!“

“Tasty ice cream, pleasant staff, good family atmosphere“

“Caps never disappoints! Love cosmic cookie the best…hard to find anything to even compare. The kids scooping make the trip even better. If you happen to run into Lucas, he always has a smile on his face and is so helpful. Thanks!“

“Best burgers in the area!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Gelato was soooo good and my wife loved her cappuccino“

“As a self-proclaimed boba connoisseur and lover of local businesses, I was hoping to add another to my growing list of affordable, quality, and quaint boba joints.

Instead, I opted to try their small selection of quality ice creams. Only 6 flavours are available, but it's extremely customisable and the staff is very accommodating.

I was absolutely blown away by the vanilla ice cream. The taste is subtle and not overpowering, but it's a fresh kind of vanilla I've never had and is sure to please all vanilla lovers. The texture of the ice cream was perfect - it didn't melt too fast, not too soft or frozen, and it was creamy but not overwhelmingly creamy. Simply put, you NEED to try it!

The individual who accommodated me was phenomenal! I unfortunately was unable to ask his name, but he took great care of my vanilla ice cream with oreos in a cake cone. Furthermore, I was able to learn more about the business and how involved they are in the community, which is always a plus.

Although I didn't try their boba, I have no doubt it's as quality as their ice cream. Overall, I love the business and am excited to come back with friends and family!

Parking: The parking is a bit small as the store itself is in downtown Deerfield and located along a busy main road (Rt43/Waukegan Rd). I can imagine during more busy hours, it'd be difficult to find good parking as, other than the small parking lot in the back, you may have to walk to the location.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly! The menu is extremely customisable, especially if you have any dietary allergies.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best yogurt hands down!“

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

“I have now tried the custard pie with caramel sauce. It could be served in any fine dining restaurant with pride. The chocolate she uses for dipping strawberries is very high quality. Not plastic tasting at all.“

“great restaurant very good food and service“

“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.“

“Thanks! It was fun! My kids loved it!“

“Great little BIPOC owned & run confectionery. Lots of chocolates, gummies, baked goods & an ice cream shop to boot. Everything is fresh (not sitting around for weeks & months like many candy shops). And the folks there are pleasant.The aesthetic is nostalgic & sits in a cute, dutch-themed shopping area.Need something for A birthday or holiday? They come up with the cutest themed concepts for every celebratory day you can think of. I am a huge fan of the cashew ladybugs (caramel, cashews & chocolate)…not common everywhere.A bit pricey, but matches its location & I’m never disappointed.“

“This is a classic DQ that serves the community in a classic fashion. Everyone is outside enjoying their ice cream. It is close to a busy road unfortunately and there isn't much parking. It's best to walk and enjoy as you take a stroll or meet up with your friends.

Parking: There is only space for about 8 cars“

“Great place to get yogurt where you get as much as you want and just pay for the mass at the end. The toppings area is slightly inaccessible. Nice staff though.You get a free 4oz cone if you get a sandwich from the connected Halsted St Deli.“

“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) ?“

“Great flavors and toppings. Like that they offer whipped cream if you ask :-)“

“Received a box of 6 for birthday and very much enjoyed them. Some were still warm and yummy. Cookies were delivered without a bag, just box. Box had a security sticker which was peeled open although all cookies looked good. That is why I took away one star.“

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

“Delicious burgers, fried chicken, ice cream, etc.“

“Great family owned michoacana. They're always friendly and their quesadillas are delicious! If I'm ever in a hurry, I call my order in, and it's an easy pick up with no mistakes on my orders.

Kid-friendliness: Always sweet to my kids and have baby high chairs“

“Great great service! We were waiting on like they were a sit down restaurant. Food was good, place clean and staff friendly! I would definitely recommend.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Nias hot slots and Pizzeria, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The combination of delicious pizza and thrilling casino games made for a memorable night out. The pizza was mouthwatering, with a perfect crust and a wide range of toppings to choose from. The casino had a great selection of games, and the atmosphere was lively and exciting. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Nia’s for anyone looking to savor some incredible pizza and have a little fun!!“
