50 Best Ice Cream Shops near South Barrington

“They did our recent gender reveal cake and knocked it out of the park! Not only did it look exactly like the design idea I shared with them, but it tasted incredible. I literally liked this cake better than my own wedding cake, haha!“

“Loved the 80 flavor option and the ice cream was delicious, but there should be a sign posted that are TWO different prices based on premium favors, etc- nothing noted, indicated on cases, mentioned by employees or posted. Buyer beware 😉“

“Bamboo Spoon has such a great selection of things I never make it back to try them all .. They do Frozen Yogurt, many flavors with lots of stuff to put it in, they just added a premium high milkfat ice cream .. they do organic smoothies and lots of different bubble teas .. they also have the 'protien' so that one could go there with people on a couple of diets, ones that didn't care and some kids and everyone would find something they liked... And something they would like to try next time! They are happy to customize for you! Everything is clean and well managed, and everyone is pleasant. I stop there regularly .. Nice stop after dinner in the Arboretum or after a massage at Elements next door! :)“

“I was really happy with my visit. The customer service was really great, sorry I do not know the name of the nice young lady that took my order. I was really happy that you guys have Blue Moon!! It’s my favorite flavor, and I will be back to come get some more. 5/5 stars ❤️❤️❤️“

“Nice efficient and great service; items sold are also very good“

“El señor atendiendo es muy amable la agua Fresca de guayava que me recomendo estaba deliciosa 😋“

“They are by far the best dq in the suburbs. They are not stingy with toppings. Sure the price reflects that sometimes but will you rather pay $8 for a blizzard with 2 Oreo cookies in it or $10 for one with 8 Oreos in it? I love the Oreo blizzard and Reese’s. Though no fault of their own…I wish the Reese’s had less choco chunks and more peanut butter stuff ❤️. Regardless i appreciate them and always thank them!“

“Crumbl Cookies offers delicious, oversized cookies with a rotating menu of unique flavors, often served warm. Their soft, flavorful treats come in a charming pink box, making them perfect for sharing or indulging solo. Always fresh and fun, Crumbl delivers a consistently delightful experience.

“Yummy 😋 Good ice cream 🍦“

“A very unique place for the area that offers a lot. From rolled ice cream, pudding, donuts, etc. Their main staple is the bubble tea and other milk teas which are fantastic. A variety of great toppings that really add to the complexity of flavor of each of their beverages. Definitely check them out if you are in the area.“

“I love this store my family and I have been going to this store since I was a little kid. I got my wife a custom Ice Cream cake for her Birthday and she loved it. Highly Recommend!“

“Great for families- large play area and super clean. Large variety of ice cream, sorbet and popsicles as well as fresh fruit treats. I had the coconut ice cream and it was fantastic. Super friendly staff-“

“I have updated my review to 5 stars because they are one of the few fast food restaurants that has a good tasting gluten free hamburger bun.

Dietary restrictions: Though they have gluten free buns, they do not have designated gluten free cooking stations. I am not hypersensitive to gluten so I can eat their burgers and grilled chicken without adverse reactions.“

“Just about the best ice cream around. The place is always spotless. Great service and friendly employees.“

“girls are very friendly and portions are very decent 👏🙌💥🎊🎉“

“Glad you’re changing to Coke products. My family of 5, prefer coke over Pepsi. Pepsi is too sweet.“

“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 time here and won't be the last! Pleasant, and friendly service, welcoming in today's hurry up world! Food was outstanding especially the fried rice and shrimp and fried rice and chicken combo. Was looking for a good Chinese restaurant. They have my vote, stop by and order, you won't be disappointed!!!

“I have come to this candy shop for the last 10 years. That should speak for itself. If it doesn't, I'll say more:I absolutely love chocolate malts. Any place I go that has them, I always order one. SweetSpot makes the most INCREDIBLE malt I have ever had anywhere, and not once in 10 years has it been less than amazing! I took a friend a few months ago, telling them that the malts are the best and she was skeptical. Had one sip and said it was "50/10."However, if you aren't into malts, there are many other things to love. They have the widest variety of candies I have ever seen at one shop, plus some types of candy that I haven't seen anywhere else in 15 years, not to mention soda in actual glass bottles! Good luck finding those in your local grocery store! It seems impossible to find a real *candy* store anymore, as opposed to a store with a candy section.If you're in the area, SweetSpot is a must-visit. I'm moving several hours away tomorrow, but you can be sure that any time I come back to visit, I'll be stopping here for a malt!“

“I’ve been to different Dairy Queen’s.

This is the first one that actually filled the cup with Oreos. I order a medium blizzard oreo with extra oreo.

To my surprise they filled it with Oreos!. Unlike other places that I ask for extra oreo and you can’t see any. This place filled it up im super happy I will definitely be back here.“

“We love this new place in town! My kids LOVE ❤️ Clean and really cool environment to hang out at to grab a drink and chat with friends. Free amazing smells lol 😂 Smoothies are delicious. PB mocha is my favorite. The bowls are so good too packed with goodness. The shots taste fresh and healthy as well!!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“THE BEST BURGERS AND SWEET POTATO FRIES IN ILLINOIS PERIOD! PLEASE GIVE YOUR EMPLOYEES A RAISE, they are all very kind and helpful! Also the turtle sundae was very delicious. The establishment is very spacious and clean. I love visiting places where the employees are having fun while still providing excellent customer service. It almost felt like i was in the krusty krab with a lot of spongebobs and no squidwards. ??

UPDATE 8/10 this time i had the classic chicago hotdog and sweet potato fries! Unfortunately this time around the hot dog was not all that great, very bland and actual weiner didn’t have much flavor and the sweet potatoes were a bit burnt, but i think this is a minor mistake than can easily be fixed in the future! Can’t wait to be back!“

“it is always a great experience at the Roselle DQ. but I have to give a huge shoutout to their employee tonight. She was working so hard to fill the orders as fast as she possibly could! Tony check your shifts from 5/4 this evening. I think she said her name is Haley. She was an outstanding employee. I know the world is understaffed and she could have easily been frustrated at the never ending line, but she was working so hard and I just thought you deserved to know what a great job she was doing. I just thought she deserved a little shoutout!“

“Double Butterburgers!!👍👍👍👍👍“

“Los mejores tamales que eh comido en mucho tiempo y el champurrado igual , muy buenos !! espero que no cambien su forma de hacerlos“

“I came here and they have delicious bubble tea and frozen yogurt, they also have many options for toppings. I purchased the lychee boba and it was so delicious! The place is very clean to. However the hours are a bit odd they open pretty late but they close late to which is convenient. Overall great place!“

“My son and I enjoyed our visit to Coldstone Creamer Deer Park, IL yesterday. I absolutely love the Coffee Lovers ice cream. Hard to try another choice when you know you know you love a specific choice. Love this place!

Kid-friendliness: Love that the display is glass and low enough for kids to admire the selection. They have great waffle cones too. So many options! And they even sell chocolate!

Wheelchair accessibility: The tables are movable and the space around chairs can be moved according to your needs.“

“They service Desi icecream flavors. I tried the Kesar Pista and lychee and both were very good. The qty they serve is also generous for the price they charge which is $3 for 2 small scoops. Will definitely go back. It’s a take out shop“

“Standard Culvers. Nothing special about this location. Portions are ok. Average wait time at drive thru.“

“Can't comment on the ice cream experience. We go here for the chilli cheese dogs and chips. Dogs are delicious and not as pricey as if you were getting Beef Villa or Portillos.
I did have a mango smoothie but I threw it away. It was very artificial and super sweet.
I have to park in the adjacent lot because the Drive thru ramp is too shallow, so many cars touch the pavement/road and get scratched/damaged.“

“I got charged $2.50 for a spoon of Mayo and a spoon of cheese on a small cup of corn? i been coming here for so long and never got charged, when i saw my receipt and noticed i couldn’t believed it. I went inside and ask for a bit more and all i got from the supervisor is that he need it another $2.50 what a shame of handling this business by the supervisor Ruben hope this help to as awareness to our community and pay attention to what you pay. you better drive a couple more miles to the next michoacana for a better product and definitely better service. I had to spreaded on the glass guard so he could of believe me that he didn’t add the extra cheese and mayo that was paid for it as you can see. after checking more google reviews it looks like this is a tendency!!!!’“

“Basic DQ but very clean, friendly service and uncommonly no request for a tip when you pay.
We typically buy quarts to take home but each had blizzards as well and awesome ice cream experience. Good touch with the American Flag in the window!“
