Capannari Ice Cream and Catering

Nice ice cream shop and a bonus as they have entertainment

Amazing homemade ice cream with truly unique flavor varieties! Lots of delicious options, even vegan ice cream!

Capannari’s scoops, a creamy, sweet delight,
In small-batch style, they craft each flavor right.
The coconut chip? A joy beyond compare,
With Marcona almonds tossed with care.

Add hot fudge, toasted coconut on top,
And taste an Almond Joy that just won’t stop.
You’ll find a scoop for every taste to please,
Or grab a pint to take and eat with ease.

Though winter comes, they close their doors till spring,
Their ice cream waits—a treat worth savoring.

Capannari's is top of mind for a summer ice cream treat in Mount Prospect, and for great reason. Creative rotators, handpacked pints to go, and homemade choco tacos!
Staff seems to be local high school students and always bring prompt service with smiles: something about having worked in food since a teen makes me happy to see the working camaraderie.
The seating is limited, but there's a cute park with benches and a butterfly garden right outside the door.

Vegetarian options: Vegan flavors always available: coconut based.

Kid-friendliness: Kiddie scoops.

Went around 8pm and there's a long line. Waited less than 30 minutes. Service is fast though. Very friendly young staffs. Small space for indoor dining but the garden outdoor dining area is well lighted and clean. Good atmosphere. There's a common restroom inside the shop but they kept it clean and neat.

Parking: There's parking slots available in the front of the store. We parked at the nearby plaza.

As connoisseurs of ice cream I am beyond embarrassed to say we have lived in Mount Prospect for over a year and only just discovered this hidden gem!!! We normally drive 40 min for our favorite ice cream as there was nothing around here close. How did me miss this place!! It is fabulous. Their ice cream is spot on. Perfect texture and consistency and also the perfect sweetness. No terrible fake after taste and they keep the ice cream at just the right temperature. Doesn’t melt right away, nor is it so hard it pops off the cone or has burn. It truly is perfect. Plenty of flavors to choose from, I will say I’ve been back twice already for the licorice flavor and the ice cream taco is my daughter’s new favorite item!
On top of all that, the staff are so friendly. Even with lines out the door they are smiling and super efficient. No long waits. It is in a historic cool building tucked on a quiet short street by a little park. So happy we found this ice cream lovers haven!

We've been trying out different ice cream places in the area and this is definitely one of our favorites.

Love the ice cream. There's a good amount of choices and all the ice cream taste great!

There's a great atmosphere inside and out and nice places to sit outside.

Would definitely recommend!

My new favorite Ice cream place. Finally found one in the area and the little courtyard is so perfect for enjoying the delicious treats. Very happy to have found this gem! Probably a good thing it's not closer to my house...

Good Ice cream. It is nice to see family owned place being busy and in business for so long. If living in the area it would be great spot to get ice cream, otherwise Oberweis is my spot.
