“Very good and the coffee is ALWAYS GREAT here!!! I say that because 6 out of ten will get it wrong. But they definitely get the order right when I go. If someone starts commenting on my comments then maybe they don't like youuuuuu. I'm respectful and they are too. You get more flies with honey than with vinegar.”

“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. This place is a hidden gem and way better than the chain spots nearby. I really hope more people discover it-it deserves so much more attention”

“Walked in to pick up my order and was attended quite fast. My food wasn't ready but it didnt take long. The cashier was kind and welcoming. I ripped open my bag in the restaurant to check if they had put my Culver sauces in there because other locations dont put them in, but this location did and im very great full for that because I pay .50c each for those. It may not be a lot of money, but it's still a payment that im making for a product. I hope I didnt offend the workers. Would order from here again, i'd just rather use the drive-thru”

“Always a great treat whether I'm with the family or not and especially on a hot summer day/night, Cold Stone really hits the spot. But even when it gets cold out, still fun to go to even during a brutal Chicago area winter.This is probably the one ice cream parlor around compared to others that has a huge emphasis on toppings/creations which is definitely their strong point.Always a great selection of flavors between their regular year round and seasonal flavors, prices still seem reasonable although the high-end ice cream chain has never really been cheap and customer service remains consistently good in an always spiffy clean/sanitized atmosphere.CSC obviously does battle with competitors such as Oberweis up the road and Graeter's. When it comes to taste and quality, this place lives up to the price and my kids are well worth it anytime of the year.Only con (which doesn't drag down a 5⭐️ rating) about this place is the parking lot which can be greatly limited especially on wknd nights when nearby Giordano's gets packed. You may find yourself having to park east across the street from Starbucks and walking a bit of distance.”

“My 4 year old son loved it here!!! He was so proud to have designed a donut (which was actually just the cookies and cream option from the menu) but he watched them make it and decorate it and then showed it to everyone he passed. He said they were the BEST donuts he’s ever had! I had the cold brew with sweet cream which was solid.”

“Crumbl Cookie never disappoints! Every time I walk in, the store smells amazing and the staff is super friendly. Their cookies are always warm, soft, and full of flavor. I love that the menu changes every week because there’s always something new and exciting to try. The presentation is so cute, and the pink box makes it feel like a little treat every time. My favorites so far are the chocolate chip and any of their seasonal flavors — they’re always perfectly baked and taste homemade. If you have a sweet tooth or just want to brighten your day, Crumbl is definitely the place to go! 🍪💗”

“I have to shout out the kid who was working December 13 at 4pm. You were polite, friendly, and despite serving both the counter and the drive thru, you didn’t get flustered and acknowledged everyone’s patience. Thank you for being so kind when I called looking for a cake for my daughter after another location chose not to tell me they were out of stock of what I’d ordered and already paid for (to anyone reading, STAY AWAY FROM THIRD LAKE LOCATION). You helped me make sure my daughter had the cake she wanted for her 18th birthday. I appreciate your willingness to serve others!”

“VERY overdue but the homie and homegirl on shift were both extremely chill. We had to stop for some ice cream and it was two little girls that we had with us and they were understanding of kids being in there and they threw us a couple of extra apple fritters. Homeboy was wearing like a Japanese belt or something like that which was also very cool.”

“Cold Stone is absolutely amazing! The flavors are rich, creamy, and clearly made with care—every scoop tastes fresh and delicious. There are so many options to choose from, from classic favorites to fun, unique flavors, so there’s truly something for everyone. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. The shop itself has a cozy, happy vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your ice cream instead of rushing out. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to anyone who loves great ice cream! 🍦”

Fries were hot and everything felt like it was prepared fresh in a very short time. Hands down one of the best gyros I've had in a while.”

She was super nice too, and the checkout only took seconds (this may sound like a given, but you’d be surprised how horrible some companies are with their cash registers). With how the good the service was, I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu!”

It was great to see three different groups hanging out around 8:30 PM—it proves this DQ is still the ultimate cool spot for the locals! Thanks for the great service! 😀”
Ice cream has always been a beloved treat, offering a wide array of flavors that cater to every taste. Lately, however, the spotlight has shifted to more unconventional flavors, making classic choices like vanilla and chocolate seem ordinary. From ketchup to oysters, here are ten of the most unusual ice cream flavors to try.
Rainbow Cone, a Chicago ice cream shop, is spreading its colorful layers across the country for the first time in its 98-year history. The shop is known for its unique five-flavor ice cream cone, which stacks chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House, pistachio, and orange sherbet in colorful "slices." Since announcing franchising two years ago, Rainbow Cone has grown to 21 locations, mostly around Chicago, but they're not stopping there. They've also opened a store in Indiana and recently made a deal to open 10 spots in Texas.
