36 Best Ice Cream Shops near Round Lake Beach

“Slighly higher prices than the places we usually visit (Hansen's in Wilmot and Rusty Malts in Ringwood) We live in Fox Lake so Round Lake is a little closer than our usual stop for ice cream with the grandkids. That said, the grandkids loved La Michoacana! Incredibly colorful with a seemingly endless variety. The Ice cream was delicious and the service was wonderful! I highly recommend them if you're in the Round Lake area.“

“Love this place! I’m from Wisconsin but life close to the Illinois boarder. I came across this gem while driving by.

“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! 🍪💗“

“excelente servicio muy amables. lo recomiendo este lugar“

“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.“

“Found my favorite childhood snack — egg waffles 🧇 — at MilkCow cafe near home! Definitely coming back again! Their ice cream was amazing too — super creamy and full of milky goodness 🍦💛“

“Ordered 2 specialty cakes for me and my brother in laws birthday. Had a power outage and the cakes melted overnight. They had their cake decorator come in and make them again last minute. Will be going here for my birthday cakes from now on!“

“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.“

“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! 🍦“

“I absolutely love Kiki’s Cotton Candy! World’s best lemonade is an understatement. Honestly the nicest people too. Try everything- it’s all delicious!“

“Usually great service and people, but you guys missed the mark tonight. The delivery person outside tried to give me at least 3 different orders that weren’t ours, and when we got home the chicken nuggets were missing the sauce, and the chili was missing the toppings and sour cream. Not a great outing tonight.“

“Love this place, nieve de piñon 🤤🤤“

“1st time visiting this establishment. Very friendly and nostalgic atmosphere. Had their 1/3 burger and onion rings. It was fantastic!! Best burger I've had in a long time. Actually meaty and fresh not one of those frozen smash burgers. Can't wait for my next visit. Hope to try something new, if I can convince myself to skip the burgers. And did I mention very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!“

“Pizza was fantastic!!! We will be ordering again!!!“

“Best shaved ice around! Or add a swirl of ice cream on top for a real treat!“

“So good !!! 🍦 delicious ice cream and cake !!!“

“awesome awesome ice cream“

“Best local Mexican snack shop in all of the greater Round Lake area! Doesn’t matter if you’re trying to get healthy and lose some pounds (like I did) or just simply trying to satisfy a guilty pleasure, they’ve got you covered! Family owned with friendly customer service. Stop in and explore all of their options! They have it all from freshly prepared Mexican hot food in the morning to tortas, paninis hot off the press, tamales, shakes, fresh squeezed juices, custom made juices with no limit on ingredients, homemade ice cream, sweets, candy, drinks, snacks, custom cakes, etc, etc! They also do private events. Best part is EVERYTHING IS FRESHLY MADE! Oh, did I mention they’re prices are very affordable too!“

“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!“

“AWESOME MICHOACANA WITH GREAT EMPLOYEES🙌🏽❤️“

“I was very happy with the employees that worked there, but i gave it a one-star for the food. I was very disappointed in the twist cone I received. It was like eating whipped cream. Don't get me wrong, I like whipped cream but not as a cone. The reason why it was like this is because the machine wasn't calibrated correctly in the beginning, or they ran out of mix, and when they added more mix. And then the machine when out of calibration. I know this because I worked in the food industry for 35 years.“

“The lady at the counter made my mango milk boba tea in 54 seconds, the fastest service I’ve ever had anywhere that serves gelato or boba tea. 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!“
