“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.“

“Great ice cream. Friendly. Thank you for working so hard on the 4th of July and way past closing for all the customers.“

“Came in early afternoon on 12/16 and was greeted by Caitlyn, who welcomed me with a big smile and let me know she was happy to help if I needed anything. I was looking to get a birthday cake for my daughter, but the size available on display was a bit too large. When I asked if there were any smaller options, she explained that she had just made one and it would be ready in about 10 minutes if I didn’t mind waiting.

She even let it freeze a little longer since it was freshly made, added the candy toppings, and kindly offered to write a small birthday message on it. The entire experience was friendly, fast, and extremely courteous.

Highly recommend this location, and I would absolutely return—especially if Caitlyn is working. Her exceptional service truly went above and beyond.“

“Walked in this afternoon. Aaliyah and Amber are awesome. We walked in undecided on what to get. They definitely were very patient with us and helped us out. Picked up so many different choices. Can’t wait to try them on. Definitely will be back. Great customer service.“

“Todo está delicioso y muy buena atención“

“Loveeeeee the Banana 🍌🍌 creme pie Freeze.
It has vanilla ice cream 🍦, sliced banana , crumbled cookies & whip cream.
It's my favorite flavor because to me is the less sugary . Wish they had XLarge sizes LOL.“

“Visited Fishers location - so glad I did! Non-dairy lemon chill was pleasantly creamy (expected it to be tart like sorbet, but it was mild and delicious!) - and non-dairy caramel was amazing! So nice to have non-dairy flavors with flare! My son had cake batter and crazy cookie - loved them both! Our new go-to for ice cream - thanks, Eiffel Waffle!😎“

“I visited Cocomero in Downers Grove with my wife for the first time and we were delighted. The standout Taro milk tea was rich and creamy, blending earthy sweetness perfectly, while the self-serve frozen yogurt bar, packed with fresh toppings, offered creative fun and flavor. Friendly staff and a cozy, welcoming vibe made our visit memorable—and a great shared treat.“

The employees are friendly and helpful.
Decor is fantastic. You feel like you’re on a tropical beach.
Will definitely be stopping in anytime we’re nearby to try everything….because it all looks delicious.“

“It's a little spot that's on the corner of a busy street that I've passed by plenty of times. Glad I finally stopped by there and tried this yogurt fruit drink. It was very creamy, rich, delicious and fulfilling! That was my first time there and I can tell you, I've been back a couple more times already. Friendly people and great service!“

“I've been going to Red Mango every week for over a year and they have the best acai bowls. Staff are friendly and the place is clean. Their menu is extensive and I have never had a problem. All the customers I encounter seem to be satisfied.“

“This coffee shop is so close to where I work so I’ve been visiting here and there and have not been disappointed with a single drink I’ve ordered! Everyone working there is so friendly too 😊“

“Stopped in prior to an appointment down the road at Hines VA. Absolutely amazing customer service, (I wish I asked for the employees name, my receipt says Liz) but she was the friendliest, warmest, most pleasant person! I ordered fresas con crema and agua fresca de sandia, both are so delicious! I will definitely be visiting this place again! Thank you again for a wonderful experience!!“

“Saw this place on TikTok. Did not disappoint! The fresh pasta is awesome and the paninis out of this world. Not to mention, large selection of fresh gelato was a plus.“

“I enjoy getting an original rainbow cone and I'm thankful there are more locations to enjoy them. We accidentally discovered they have a junior size cone which provides just as much flavor and the (required) obligatory drip(s) on my shirt and pants despite my efforts otherwise. They currently offer the Jr size for a buck off on Tuesday making the trip less costly.
I'd suggest a trip to the original Rainbow Cone at 92nd and Western for the true experience. Walk in, stand in line and sit at the tables out back. The original location is on my personal list of Chicago favorites. Thankfully they no longer close in the off-season...“
