My Flavor It! Place - Wauconda

We came today for the first time, the kids were very excited to try this place. We ordered two cups of ice cream, one mango and one strawberry and a shot cone.

As soon as we paid, we looked for tables to sit inside. The dining room was disorderly, tables and chairs were at random with no clear indicator of what chair belongs to what table since none were pulled up to any table. The tables looked off balanced and they all had fresh and dried up spills on them. Not inviting at all so we sat at the benches outside to enjoy our ice cream treat. The benches outside are nice, in the shade in the afternoon so not too hot.

The shot cone was fine, no different than what I can get at Mc Donalds, except much smaller and for the same price.

The mango ice cream cup was okay, didnt really taste like mango, we knew it was mango because we ordered mango but not so much for the flavor or color.

The strawberry ice cream cup was disappointing. There was so much syrup, it was way too sweet. Additionally, it was watered down so much, you could drink it with a straw. Its 83 degrees outside and Im sitting in the shade so its not like it melted from the time we paid to the time we sat down.

My son couldnt have his ice cream because of how sweet it was. We went back inside and asked the girl at the register if we could trade his cup for a regular vanilla ice cream cup since it was so sweet and so watered down. She didnt say a word, just turned around took our cup, got the new vanilla cup and set it on the counter. We politely said thank you but she didnt say a word. It was clear in her demeanor that she was bothered that we came back to the counter. We were polite the whole time but she was still clearly bothered.

Overall we didnt have a great experience. I dont think I'll come back.

I always like to support local businesses within Wauconda so we'll have to find a different local spot, if there is one.

Great little place, the employees are very patient and respectful and the treats are great as well! Prices aren’t terrible relative to the size and amount of flavors either. The only downside we experienced was the service was a bit slow but it was still well worth it anyway!

Our flavorite place!

The staff is so kind and patient. They also help support local groups in the community, like band and sports! They have very good shaved ice and lots of flavors to pick from. They also have soft serve ice cream and treats. My kids love the shaved ice, I like the frozen coffee treat!

Good yummy ice cream and icy treats!

Awesome spot right across the street from the lake. Great options and great service.

This is our favorite summer spot! Especially after attending the beach across the street! My kids recently won the white gum ball and received a free treat. Love the volcano!

So so so good! Love having a different option for a sweet treat. The shaved ice always has a good amount of syrup on it.

Really good shaved ice perfect for a hot day and in a great spot next to Phil's beach

Nice little shop. Friendly service and good treats.

Large portions, great flavor, nice people
