( trust me ) great way to make extra money for all your hard work. Keep doing a fantastic job.. A+“

“Probably one of the oldest ice cream in the city and the best. If you not a Chicagoan it's a must come to institution of Chicago. If you are a Chicagoan, what are doing dawg, get ur self a sweet treat. I don't care if it's negative -4 degree outside we hitting up Margie's.“

“If you haven’t been here go! The Italian ice is delicious. Micro lemon peel in the Italian ice is definitely an authentic taste. The custard is delicious too! The staff is welcoming and so nice. My go to place for a cool treat’“

“We came to the mall specifically for gelato while in town for a show at The Rosemont Theater. The gelato flower is *almost* too beautiful to eat, but it didn’t stop us. LOVE that they have organic flavors and no artificial colors!! The employees are friendly and talented. Getting to sample flavors was such a treat and watching them make the flower is mesmerizing. My daughter enjoyed strawberry and chocolate in a cone and I opted for strawberry and organic lemon in a cone, while my husband chose a dish of organic chocolate. We all felt it was the perfect size treat and such great flavors. We wish we didn’t live so far away so we could enjoy this more often!“

“If you got a sweet tooth i recommend hitting up Sugar Rae's...Every dessert is uniquely prepared and crafted from scratch...“

“Amazing flavors and nice people such a great addition to the neighborhood!“

“Anyone that gave Amorino or is thinking about giving Amorino less than 5 stars, has no idea what quality gelato is. The flavors and quality are superb! Better than any other place that exists. Especially the places that over charge for ice cream that tastes like chemicals. The staff are extremely welcoming, kind and helpful! The place is warm and inviting. I drive from the northwest suburbs just for Amorino! Please open another location near woodfield mall! Or better yet, near Oakbrook!“

“Such a lovely spot! 😊 When we arrived, it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves, which made the experience even more relaxing. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they prepared our order super fast ⏱️👏. We were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes - definitely great value for the price! 🍦💰 And the ice cream? Absolutely amazing, rich in flavor and just perfect! 😋 I truly enjoyed every bite and can’t wait to visit again, this time bringing my family along. Highly recommend this place! 💖“

“Amazing place best customer service and everything is delicious 😋“

“Bug in my ice- cream. no thank you. when I brought this to the workers and they just said sorry and continued working... what about the ice cream with the bug? how many bugs are there. my son had oreo ice cream.. YUK! Never again we will go there...“

“I love these ice cream they are unique and very creamy“

“Ohhh sweet summer flavors and memories are found at Xurro! They have a great menu of many ways to get your sugar fix from sundaes to smoothies and seasonal flavors too. You can even get a variety of flavors in your ice cream base, vanilla or strawberry or Superman! It being my first time I decided on a classic sundae with churros and I was pleasantly surprised. The churros are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and have the perfect dusting of sugar. It was gone before I made it home! A little on the higher side for price but it’s fair for all that you get.“

“La Michoacana Fresa is the real deal for a sweet treat. I grabbed a couple of their Fresas con Crema paletas—strawberry chunks swirled in creamy goodness. Also tried the Arroz con Leche popsicle; it was like dessert in a bite. The place is clean, the staff is chill, and the flavors hit every time. Spent about $15, and it was worth every penny. Definitely coming back for more.“

“Soft surf ice cream was good“

“Had been a while since we came Everything we ate and drank was delicious 😋 Waffle Cone Sundae Cheese fries Loaded Nachos Hotdog 🌭 Coke Float Yummy!!!“

“The place was nice and clean. I was greeted immediately. The young lady was knowledgeable about the menu and polite. She informed me and asked me if I would like certain things on my funnel cake before putting anything else outside what it's served with. The Funnel Cake was fresh along with the fruit. I will be back. I recommend this place.“

“Where do I even start... The establishment is unlike anything I've experienced so far, the place feels magical for both kids and grown-ups alike. When you step in for the first time, it feels akin to a fun, fantastical experience coming to life. This place is a great experience alone, but trust me, it's best when visiting with some company; you could even bring your sister to this location. As for the staff, they know what they do and take their job seriously: they don't treat their job as some sort of pizzeria simulator. The pizza they serve is catered to your specifications, allowing you to have the ultimate custom experience any night. Don't get me wrong, this place is still prone to human error, but the staff is capable of providing help when wanted. Aside from the inevitable human error (and unsubstantiated rumors involving disappearances) the only downside is the lack of a warning when accessing the free wifi, if you do want to use the free wifi, just remember to use a VPN to prevent a security breach on your device. Personally, I reccomend it over any of the other copycat locations; I don't know the secret of the success of mimic locations, but having already patronized here for 5 nights, I know that I will always come back.“

“Crepes were delicious 👍“

“I had the pleasure of having some amazing tamales packed with flavor. I've eaten tamales most of my life and I brought some for my grandma who came to Chicago from Mexico and she absolutely loved them she has been eating them for 70 plus years and for her to provide her stamp of approval means a lot. Highly recommend!“

“The ice-cream is very good. The staff is extremely friendly. We'll definitely come back when in the area.“
