50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Wheeling

“Delicious. I have never tasted something more scrumptious. I love the workers. They are my true friends. They get me, they are there for me, and they see me on my worst and best days. I make it my life goal to go everyday just to see them. They know me by name. 10/10. Love it here.“

“So yummy! Love this place 🍧“

“This is the absolute best pizza in all of the Chicago Suburbs. It’s made fresh and if you dont mind a little wait you’ll love the taste. It’s not overly greasy and perfect in all the right ways. I do not eat pizza often but whenever I do, I only come here! Very true story.“

“Really great selection of flavors (ice creams and juices). The ice cream is soft and flavorful and delicious! You will find some classics, a lot of Mexican flavors and also a lot of seasonal flavors. The variety and the amount of options is really great and you will definitely find a match for you there (if not several). The girl who served us was very nice and helpful with our choices. The prices are not so sweet as the products so is not a place to go back as often as desirable.“

“I’m from NY and wanted some boba found this spot online and saw the mixed reviews. I got the brown sugar milk tea and coconut milk tea. The brown sugar is very sweet and I would say I have a relatively big sweet tooth so while I did enjoy it, it was slightly too much for me. 9/10. The coconut milk tea is also very sweet and has a strong coconut flavor almost like I was eating a raffaello. A new flavor that I took a chance on and was pleasantly surprised. The place was clean and the drinks were made quickly. The tapioca pearls themselves were hard and felt old so I would recommend skipping out on that.
TLDR; the teas are good and sweet for dessert, the pearls are not the greatest and I wouldn’t recommend. Overall 9.5/10“

“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!“

“Nice ice cream shop and a bonus as they have entertainment“

“Cassandra made my visit such a great experience! She was super kind, very friendly, and went out of her way to answer all my questions. I really appreciated how patient she was, letting me try different flavors until I found the perfect mix (pistachio, mango, and chocolate — amazing!). The gelato was delicious and fresh, and Cassandra’s warm service made it even better. Highly recommend stopping by if you want both incredible gelato and wonderful service!“

“The Greatest Custard In The World in texture, taste and freshness! Greg is a genius of a restauranteur and the nicest guy you're ever going to meet!“

“Love this place! I’m from Wisconsin but life close to the Illinois boarder. I came across this gem while driving by. We stopped and order food- and then went back up to the window to order a few more times. The staff were very sweet and time efficient. Their creamsicle soft serve cone is to die for! We’ll be back!“

“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.“

“Kurimu is such a fun spot for Japanese-style soft-serve ice cream with creative and unique flavors! Their soft-serve is creamy, delicious, and definitely the highlight of the menu.

The staff are friendly and the service is really good, which makes the experience even better. We also tried their bubble teas, just a heads-up, they’re more subtly sweet compared to the usual bubble teas, so if you’re looking for something super sweet, this might not be the place for that.

But if you’re here for soft-serve (which you absolutely should be), you won’t be disappointed. Definitely worth a visit for anyone looking to try something different and tasty! 🍦🧋✨“

“They have the best ice cream! So good I normally only eat 1 scoop but when I go here I get 2 or 3 because they're so good. The employees are so nice, especially the teenage girls. The girl with blond highlights and the girl with dark hair are so sweet! On vacation I went to a gelato place, thier gelato was FULL OF SUGAR all I tasted was sugar but here I actually taste the flavor. The flavors are so good. I 100% recommend the banana and strawberry .I would have given this place six stars but it only goes up to 5.“

Our orders came out within minutes and the quality was not lackluster in the slightest. I would definitely come back again“

“Just popping on here to say I really like this Crumbl location! I’ve been a big fan of Crumbl for about 4 years now and this location always has consistently great treats. The employees at this Vernon Hills Crumbl are always friendly. I’ve had some nice, light-hearted experiences during order pickup, and they’ve always been efficient and professional, too. I’m easily giving them 5 stars — without hesitation!“

“I just want to give a shoutout to Arlington Heights IL Crumbl. On a day they were slammed due to Dubai week—they prepped my order an hour early, so I could make it to the hospital, to see my dad, in time for visiting hours. Young lady at the front, Tuesday the 19th, was fantastic. Thank you.
Tip well—especially on a week like this“

“We love these cookies! The chocolate chip is always a family favorite but we like the fun of the variety too. Curbside or delivery service are a huge plus!

Vegetarian options: Dessert!

Parking: Huge lot. Dedicated spots for curbside service.

Again, thanks for never closing over all these years!“

“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 came here with my kids who were really excited for ice cream and boba, and we were very happy with the quality and service. Superman milkshake was so good, strawberry smoothie with tapioca was my favorite! We all had a blast and Jerry made us feel very welcomed! This will definitely be our ice cream and boba spot.“
