22 Best Ice Cream Shops near Pingree Grove

“My wife can't wait for the weather to get warm. She always suggests we visit Milk House weekly. It is about 20 minutes by motorcycle and a very pleasant ride. We have tried all of the exotic ice creams and love them all. They also have a taster which gives you several options at once. The place started small but keeps getting more fans. If you want the best ice cream ever give it a try. Order 1 scoop on waffle cone they are made fresh. ( scoops are huge).“

“Delicious!! I kept seeing post about this place in my local FB group and decided to try. Their deep dish cookies are absolutely amazing. Nice and chewy, buttery soft crumb. We also got a buckeye stuffed (chocolate and peanut butter) and it was very moist and just the right balance of sweet. The brownie came in a little aluminum tin which was really nice and it’s delicious as well. They also had a variety of ice cream flavors and cute seasonal cake pops (st Patrics and Easter). Their cinnamon rolls were gigantic with a generous amount of icing on top. Each item we got was under $5 which makes it cheaper than places like Crumbl but waaaayyy tastier and supports a small business. We will definitely be back to check out more of their creative cookie flavors and the cinnamon rolls!“

“My wife and I went to Garden on Main with my daughter and her finance for a late lunch. I was told by a neighbor to try them out. My daughter and I had the soup of the day. ( Can't remember the name but had egg and sausage ) The soup was recommended by our waitress and it was a great choice !! The food was GREAT and the service was just as good !! We joked with one of the waitress the food taste like someone mom made it. She stated that there are two mom's in the kitchen cooking right now. The food was very flavorful, fresh and a lot of it ! Two meals ,one salad ,two soup's ,two ice tea's, one coke and a beer under $100 :) To top it off, my wife went over to check out the different ice cream. Nice gesture, they gave her two free scoops. Smart :) Looking forward to stopping by in the morning for a nice cup of coffee in the future..“

“Spectacular hidden treasure in Algonquin that we just chanced upon. Latte was absolutely delicious and their homemade mini donuts were to die for! They also had live music setup. The owners were super friendly and hospitable. This is everything a coffee house should be and more! There's also a patio that must be a blast to hang out on in summers. All in all a great little cozy local gem.“

“Thank you! We came in today and there was only one employee all alone. He not only took his time making all of our treats amazing but he was working so hard. We have been coming for years and we will keep coming back! This is the best place around!!! Thank you sir for your hard work my kids and I love Fanny Thai Roll!“

“Really great food - I had the Kung Pao chicken, and my 99-year old Great Aunt has been eating Beef Chop Suey for at least 50 years, so I guess that she's somewhat of an expert taster, lol. Neither of us had previously tried this unassuming, tidy place that also has frozen dessert specialties. We both were very happy with the flavor and freshness of our dishes, and I have to say that this is TRULY one of the best in the area- can't wait to go back and grab some more deliciousness from these fine folks! :)“

“Extremely well managed, very friendly staff, clean bathrooms, food was made to order and still came out very quickly. The food was the freshest I've had from a Culver's in a while, fries and chicken were super crispy but not overcooked at all. Everything tasted amazing, definitely going to make this location a regular food stop when I'm in town.“

“I have recently had cookies delivered and purchased. Both experiences were excellent. Cookies were delivered on time and packaging was perfect. I was not sure how it was going to be as I had completed the transaction on line, however it was perfect! Even received a picture of where it was left because the family was not home.“

“Took my sister there for the 1st time. She absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was great, very cozy and cute. The service was awesome, and the staff were great! Going back for the custard!!!?Kid-friendliness: Lot's of sweet goodies!“

“I have been to this location in Elgin. I have been there five or six times in the last week. It gets very busy on Friday nights, Saturday nights. And Sunday afternoons. That's to be expected at Culver's. When I arrived, I was greeted when i walked through the door. I ordered my food, a double sourdough melt with deep fried cheese curds. it was delicious. A few days passed, and I returned to the culver's in Elgin. I ordered a double butter burger. Chili cheese, fries, and a scoop with hot caramel and banana. These were also very good. I received my food promptly. Every part of my order was hot and fresh. I have no complaints to state about Culver's.“

“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.“

“Dairy Queen's ice cream is awesome. Got a cookie dough blizzard with extra cookie dough and a churro dipped ice cream cone and they were great. Great service there too. Also make sure you bring money smaller than a twenty dollar bill. There's a sign on the window that says to use small bills only.“

“Been wanting to try this place for years!!! Finally got around to trying it and now I'm hooked!!! I love malts, so I tried the double double chocolate malt...It was sooooooo good!!! The employees are always so friendly too!!! Shout out to them for their amazing customer service!!! I'll definitely be back with the family!!! Awesome job team!!!“

“My family is so happy we have this delicious place to go to. Their dishes range from hot dogs to hearty dinners, which are perfect for those looking for a one stop shop. I’ve lived here more than 20 Years. Ownership changes has been a big problem. I hope new (and family related) ownership changes have made the community relieved that this will be a continued staple.Management - please respond.“

“Recomendadisimo, ssta delicioso y el servicio al cliente de lo mejor, la duena siempre nos atiende personalmente y es superlinda y nos explica y ofrese que tratar de nuevo cada vez que visitamos. Se acuerda de nosotros y es muy amable igual que el resto de su personal. Son un amor y todo esta super delicioso. Nuestro postre favorito son las fresas con crema y pedacitos de cheesecake. Pero todo esta super delicioso al igual que limpio y muy higiénico. Los mejores precios y te atiende super rapido.“

“First I have to say the young girls working were professional, respectful, responsible, friendly, and overall made our first time visit for ice cream even better. Not very much seating which was ok since we were the only ones there before closing. Flavor variety was good definitely my favorite were the sugar free caramel $ cashew and brownie avalanche (i think thats the name). Also the flavor This "stuff" just got serious was pretty delicious. Exhausted parent minus the bourbon imitation taste would have been good. Overall ice cream was good and decent choices to choose from and nice ice cream place to take the family for a treat. Btw they had a blast coloring chalk all over the wall.“

“I personally think DQ is my favorite ice cream place in the entire world. I've traveled a lot in my life and DQ is still the best. And this specific place is very nice. I am very happy that they finally brought back the s'mores blizzard and I definitely recommend it.“

“I saw a BOGO deal online for blizzards if you ordered using the app but couldn't figured out how to get the deal. I went to dairy queen in Algonquin off main Street and the girl working the register helped me figure it out. She was so warm and welcoming and friendly and really made the experience great!“

“Love the Wasco DQ. This location is clean and the staff are friendly and efficient. Their blizzards are so good! Blended well and plenty of candy! Plenty of parking and seating too! The drive thru is very fast even when they are busy1 Highly recommend this location.“

“Hit drive thru last night for a sweet tooth craving! Ordered milkshakes and blizzards for everyone in the family including pup cups for the dogs! They do offer pup cups at this location... love that! The drive Thru is open every day until 9:30 PM which is great. The staff was younger but friendly! There are a few tables outside if you wanted to sit outside. Our order was correct as ordered. The blizzard we ordered was made with a little bit too much hot fudge mixed into it but still tasty! I usually like to support small owned businesses around the area since we are in diary land being so close to WI. But when craving soft serve, we come here! We will be back. Love a diary queen ice cream cake also. For sugar free options they have a sugar free dilly bar.“

“I screwed my own order and didn’t bother to fix it. When the gentleman brought the food to my table I asked him why I was short some items. He simply showed me my ticket and explained it was not on the order. The young man was polite and walked away. 4 minutes later he came back with a side of fries for my kids. This is great customer service! I didn’t ask him for anything! I even offered to pay for and he simply said it was on the house. My 2 kids were happy to eat the fries!“

“Ordered our family birthday cake by mistake at this location. Right day right time everything was 50% off that day. Homemade dilly bars and blizzard cake was amazing. Ice cream was just so fresh tasting. By far the best DQ to go to we will be back. Thanks!!“
