Ice Cream Shops near Island Lake

“If you haven’t tried this hidden gem, GO! Great food, great prices, friendly owners. Everything is fresh and delicious! In my opinion, they blow away the local competition.“

“Usually great service and people, but you guys missed the mark tonight. The delivery person outside tried to give me at least 3 different orders that weren’t ours, and when we got home the chicken nuggets were missing the sauce, and the chili was missing the toppings and sour cream. Not a great outing tonight.“

“We absolutely love this place! It has such a nice, welcoming atmosphere. The owners are so kind and remember us every time. They really go out of their way to deliver a wide variety of choices and a great experience. We especially love their smoothies and ice cream!“

“I recently ordered an Ice Cream Birthday Cake from Cold Stone Creamery for a gathering of 40 people, and I must say, it was an absolute hit. From the moment I placed the order to the very last bite, the experience was nothing short of delightful.First and foremost, the cake itself was a masterpiece. Layers of rich, creamy ice cream sandwiched between moist cake layers created a symphony of flavors and textures that left everyone at the party wanting more. The combination of flavors was perfectly balanced, ensuring that each bite was as satisfying as the last.Not only was the cake delicious, but it was also beautifully presented. The attention to detail in the decoration was evident, and it added an extra element of excitement to the celebration. It truly felt like a special occasion with such a stunning centerpiece.The service provided by Cold Stone Creamery was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were friendly, helpful, and efficient, making the ordering process smooth and stress-free. They were accommodating to our specific requests and ensured that the cake was ready exactly when we needed it.Overall, I cannot recommend Cold Stone Creamery's Ice Cream Birthday Cakes highly enough. If you're looking for a dessert that will impress your guests and leave them with lasting memories, look no further. Thank you, Cold Stone Creamery, for helping make our celebration unforgettable.“

“I have come to this candy shop for the last 10 years. That should speak for itself. If it doesn't, I'll say more:I absolutely love chocolate malts. Any place I go that has them, I always order one. SweetSpot makes the most INCREDIBLE malt I have ever had anywhere, and not once in 10 years has it been less than amazing! I took a friend a few months ago, telling them that the malts are the best and she was skeptical. Had one sip and said it was "50/10."However, if you aren't into malts, there are many other things to love. They have the widest variety of candies I have ever seen at one shop, plus some types of candy that I haven't seen anywhere else in 15 years, not to mention soda in actual glass bottles! Good luck finding those in your local grocery store! It seems impossible to find a real *candy* store anymore, as opposed to a store with a candy section.If you're in the area, SweetSpot is a must-visit. I'm moving several hours away tomorrow, but you can be sure that any time I come back to visit, I'll be stopping here for a malt!“

“Very Patient service! Great selection of ice cream and frozen/warm drinks!“

“the best ice sceam for all ages🥰“

“The Inside Scoop has the best Hot Fudge Sundaes in Crystal Lake! Although they have a variety of ice cream selections, I love the vanilla ice cream, it tastes homemade. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend stopping in!“

“I visited the Crystal Lake Culver’s on Saturday, May 24th, 2025. I am an avid fan of Culver’s and I have visited 35 locations in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri and Kentucky. As a resident of Crystal Lake I visit this Culver’s very regularly. The food was excellent and the service was quick. I definitely recommend the ice cream and the chicken. 5/5 I will definitely be back very soon. (Written 6-3-25)“

“The best customer service ever!“

“I came here and they have delicious bubble tea and frozen yogurt, they also have many options for toppings. I purchased the lychee boba and it was so delicious! The place is very clean to. However the hours are a bit odd they open pretty late but they close late to which is convenient. Overall great place!“

“My family of six ate at Culvers in McHenry on Tuesday, Dec 31 about 1:30. We were greeted with a pleasant hello. The lady who took our order got it right and was pleasant.Since were a group of 6, I figured it would take a little longer to get our order. That wasn't the case. Not only did the order come quickly, but is also accurate. That was wonderful! When we were nearing the end of our meal, a gentleman, (Jude, I believe) can around with free samples of the flavor of the day (Mint explosion). Never has that happened at Colvers to me in the many times I eat at different Culvers! What a nice touch! Upon leaving, we got a cheery Thank you, have a great day and happy new year. I wish I lived a little closer because Culvers in McHenry would definitely be my go to place. Thank you for good food and the kindness you all showed.“
