The self serving yogurt area is not only neat, but also has variety. Employees are spot on with their work (cleaning, service, customer management, attitudes, etc.) especially Diana an amazing performer off the bat I’d walk in on a gloomy day and she brightens up the room with not only her awesome service but also good attitude 10/10 would go again!!!“

The owner is a great person and very welcoming. This place is also open until 11 PM, not many ice cream bars places can say that.
They have the best pistachio ice cream!“

It's hard to find such a place these days. We definitely recommend the Marciano ice cream shop.I’m glad we stumbled upon it while searching for an ice cream shop in the area — it turned out to be the best find. If you’re a fan of ice cream, you’ll definitely want to come back after trying it! Support local quality business!!!“

Looking forward to my second visit & honestly don’t know how I didn’t know about them sooner. The soup was also top notch! & this place has great nostalgic vibes! You can order to go or dine in if there are open tables. Loved the dine in experience even though we waited 40 minutes it was definitely worth it.“

It’s so cozy I was falling asleep I felt so welcomed and wanna def come back here again. He also offered us free sample of smoothies for us to try to see if we like it or not.

(typically 2 in most Italian households 1 upstairs and 1 in bashement) lol 😂
Freddy’s is like I went back to 1990’s St.Calistus St.Joseph’s table. Stop in the Food Service and Establishment all live up to its promises. You can not have a bad meal here.

“Made a few orders for work holiday parties earlier this month. The pricing was great, the owner was very personable and professional, and the best part was the tamales were delicious. Our shop and office staff devoured 6 dozen in less than 20min. Definitely coming back for more.“

“This location is best approached as a modern, fusion-style snack and dessert spot, not a traditional La Michoacana street-food stand — and once you understand that, it’s actually a fun experience.

While the name points toward classic Mexican treats, the menu is much broader and global. You’ll find Indian street food, Nepali momos, fusion fries, masala flavors, lassis, aguas frescas, and desserts all sharing the same space. It’s less about authenticity and more about variety and creativity.

The food was very good. The momos were delicious, and the loaded fries were a standout — flavorful, generous, and well executed. Everything we tried tasted fresh and satisfying.

A big plus is that the entire menu is halal, which is rare for this kind of snack-and-dessert concept and makes it especially appealing for families and groups with mixed tastes.

The ambience is simple and casual — more functional than trendy — but the customer service absolutely makes up for it. The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely warm, which leaves a great impression.

If you’re looking for pure, traditional Mexican La Michoacana street food, this may not match that expectation. But if you’re open to a modern, multicultural twist with solid food and great hospitality, it’s definitely worth checking out.“

“it is a great ice cream parlor“

“My adorable little niece turned 3 over the weekend and she could not get over her Barbie cake made by you guys!! Aside from the cake completely nailing the Barbie theme, it also tasted amazing!! Prior to this, my husband and I who live in Oak Park, have only frequented The Brown Cow for ice cream and shakes but now we will absolutely be coming here for cakes for special events!!!“

“Stopped in prior to an appointment down the road at Hines VA. Absolutely amazing customer service, (I wish I asked for the employees name, my receipt says Liz) but she was the friendliest, warmest, most pleasant person! I ordered fresas con crema and agua fresca de sandia, both are so delicious! I will definitely be visiting this place again! Thank you again for a wonderful experience!!“

“Saw this place on TikTok. Did not disappoint! The fresh pasta is awesome and the paninis out of this world. Not to mention, large selection of fresh gelato was a plus.“

“Buckeye Brownie cookie is to die for!!!“

“Great for everyone and great for everything. Unique desserts.“

“★★★★★ A Hidden Gem That Will Sweeten Your Life
Having frequented Parlor on Central since this summer, I've been holding onto a delicious secret that I can no longer keep to myself. This ice cream shop is nothing short of extraordinary, and I'm compelled to share my experience after countless visits (let's just say my rewards account has seen plenty of action).

What sets Parlor on Central apart is their remarkable creativity with flavors. I've made it my personal mission to sample their entire menu – yes, even the vegan and dairy-free options – and each flavor has been a delightful discovery. Their seasonal offerings are particularly impressive, introducing unexpected combinations that somehow always work perfectly.

The attention to detail extends beyond just the ice cream. Whether you prefer your scoops nestled in one of their various cone options or presented in a classic cup, the presentation is always Instagram-worthy. While I think they've recently expanded their menu beyond ice cream, I remain loyal to their frozen creations, which have yet to disappoint.

But what truly elevates this establishment is the exceptional customer service. The staff's genuine enthusiasm for their craft is evident in every interaction. They're always ready with a warm smile and eager to help you discover your next favorite flavor through their generous sampling policy. It's rare to find service this consistently outstanding, especially in an ice cream parlor.
Pro tip: Don't forget to join their rewards program. Trust me, at the rate you'll want to return, those free scoops add up quickly. I might be their most frequent customer (averaging twice weekly visits – but please don't tell my doctor!).

In a city with plenty of dessert options, Parlor on Central stands out as a must-visit destination. It's more than just an ice cream shop; it's a place where every visit feels special, and every scoop tells a story. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and experience what might just become your new favorite ice cream destination -- regardless of the weather! Yes, today with the temperature in the 20's and windchill in the teens, I had the mint chocolate. Burrr-Yumm!!!“

“It's a little spot that's on the corner of a busy street that I've passed by plenty of times. Glad I finally stopped by there and tried this yogurt fruit drink. It was very creamy, rich, delicious and fulfilling! That was my first time there and I can tell you, I've been back a couple more times already. Friendly people and great service!“
