39 Best Ice Cream Shops near Wauconda

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

“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.“

“Delicious, fresh, healthy smoothies on a hot day were absolutely perfect. William made our daughter a minion milkshake (and secretly made it healthy without her knowing, which was perfect for our very picky eater), and our son enjoyed a taro boba tea with popping mango boba. Such a great find, and fabulous owner!“

“10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“My family stopped here for desert after dinner tonight and the Italian Ice did not disappoint! Even got to chat with Cathy Levatino, the owner, for quite some time. Thank you for the delicious treat & samples of every flavor! Will be back soon! Maybe even tomorrow! 😉“

“Many Oat milk ice cream options, and so many delicious flavors for ice cream, shakes, sundaes and shaved ice. Love that your dog gets to come into the restaurant and gets free ice cream. Chairs to sit inside or outside.“

“Awesome customer service and delicious ice cream served with a smile. We tried the peach cobbler and the Mississippi mud slide. YUM! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We love Cary Dairy so much!“

“We were so sad to hear the store close in McHennry! It was our family tradition to visit you as well as my child. We always make it priority to visit you! While visiting for a week it’s normal to visit 2-3 times before we go!!“

“Calidad y servicios de primera y el sabor único con sabor mexicano Gracias“

“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 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!“

“The Lakemoor location is great. The employees are always friendly. The cones are still as delicious as they were way back when I was young. They don’t skimp on the ice cream. Go, get an Original Rainbow cone. You will not be disappointed. Yum.?“

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

“My husband Gary and I and our adorable baby fefe just walked over to Dairy Queen for the free vanilla ice cream cones. And I got my vanilla ice cream cone with the chocolate coating and it was absolutely delicious! the ice cream is always fresh and delicious and the employees are always so friendly. Keep up the good work and thank you so very much for our free delicious vanilla ice cream cones they were so delicious and very yummy. My husband Gary and I and our adorable baby fefe are really looking forward to seeing you guys at mundelein days and Vernon hills days this year as well. ??????????‍⬛“

“awesome awesome ice cream“

“Culver’s Grayslake is my 32nd Culver’s. As someone else in the reviews said, “You can’t go wrong with Culver’s.” I visited on Friday, May 23, 2025. Their ice cream always hits the spot and I couldn’t believe how great business was going. The staff was friendly and respectful and overall the mood and atmosphere of Culver’s in Grayslake, Illinois was awesome! (Written 5-30-25)“

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

“My family of six ate at Culvers in McHenry on Tuesday, Dec 31 about 1:30. We were greeted with a pleasant hello. The lady who took our order got it right and was pleasant.Since were a group of 6, I figured it would take a little longer to get our order. That wasn't the case. Not only did the order come quickly, but is also accurate. That was wonderful! When we were nearing the end of our meal, a gentleman, (Jude, I believe) can around with free samples of the flavor of the day (Mint explosion). Never has that happened at Colvers to me in the many times I eat at different Culvers! What a nice touch! Upon leaving, we got a cheery Thank you, have a great day and happy new year. I wish I lived a little closer because Culvers in McHenry would definitely be my go to place. Thank you for good food and the kindness you all showed.“

“Great service, awesome treats!“

“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!“

“Everything tasted great tonight but for some reason the bun just fell apart...“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to share how exceptional the service was today. I visited the Deer Park store with my son, and when he had a meltdown over losing his favorite toy, the crew member (Sri) went above and beyond. She directed us to a quiet area to help calm him down, then checked in on us with a thoughtful gift for my son, which made his day (it was his birthday!). She was kind, empathetic, and made us feel so comfortable. Thank you, Sri, for making this experience so special!“

“We stopped by to try BR's version of the Mangonada. It looked very colorful and mouth watering. It's more of a smoothie than an ice cream, which explains why the guy looked at me weird when I asked for a spoon ?. So besides getting over the difference in consistency, it's Really Good! I started eating it with a spoon and then just gave up and stuck the straw in ?. It's a nice twist on the original Mangonada. I will definitely buy again!“

“Went to get corn in a cup plz plz make sure ask customers how much cheese and mayo they want cause I barly get any cheese and mayo on my corn on a cup and I know it's the person making it cause I gotten different ppl attending me and they make bomb azz corn in a cub“

“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.“

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

“My 2 1/2 year old grandson and I had lunch there today. The staff treated us with kindness and good service! We also enjoyed the beautiful fish pond!“

“McDonalds is getting way overpriced and food is....ok at best. Thought I'd try Culvers in FRG. Was NOT dissapointed! For about the same price you get a DELICIOUS, HOT, LOOKS LIKE THE PICTURE burger, huge portion of hot crispy fat fries and a soft drink of your choice! I'm not one to take pictures of my food, but I did! It was a masterpiece! Loved it!“

“Delicious ice cream. Absolutely love the cakes and how they always decorate them to match my party’s theme. Friendly staff.“

“Well, this is one of my favorites, I know many but this is the one I like the most.

1.- You can order online and you can pick up
2.- you sign up I know their rewards and you can have free ice cream.

They have an impressive variety of ice creams and popsicles, when you enter you will crave everything….

The last time I ordered some dorillocos... I'm a little harsh with the rating and I give them a 3, they could include lemon, cucumber and more cueritos, they almost didn't have them.

The ice creams pffff are a delight just like the horchata water.

Parking: Well, it's not very big but cars come and go constantly, which means you won't wait more than 3 minutes to find your box.

Kid-friendliness: Nothing dangerous and a place that will surely fascinate you.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp so they can access“
