50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Wheeling

“The wait is lengthy but SO WORTH IT. This is literally the best pizza I've ever had, and I've been to Italy. 😆 the gentleman making our food was so attentive and you can tell he put his heart into the food. We had the pesto pizza and wings and both were 🔥🔥🔥 I will drive an hour to go here again!“

“I didn’t walk into Sweet! Froyo & Candy.
I drifted in. Like a misunderstood soul seeking cold comfort in a world that never asked if I was lactose tolerant.

The neon sign screamed “SWEET!”
But nothing in this life is sweet. Not really.

The froyo machines hummed like they were whispering secrets about my dreams. So many flavors. Too many flavors. Vanilla. Chocolate. Strawberry. Pineapple. Each one a different version of the person I could’ve been if things had just gone so much differently.

I chose cookies & creme boba frappé.

The boba sank to the bottom of the cup like my trust issues.
I stabbed at them with the spoon and it felt good.

It was creamy.
Too creamy.
Like it understood me.

The toppings bar glittered under fluorescent lighting — gummy bears smiling like they’ve never known heartbreak. Sprinkles scattered like optimism.

Will return when the night feels heavy again. 🖤🍦“

“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.“

“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!“

“Highly recommended, very delicious 🍨“

“Absolutely loved my visit to Amorino! The gelato was delicious, beautifully made, and generous—but the real highlight was Liz. She was incredibly kind and gave me a wonderfully big ice cream with the biggest smile. Amazing service like that makes the experience unforgettable. Thank you, Liz—I’ll definitely be back!“

“As cute as a button! What a special treat for all ages. They take such care in their creations. And the ice cream was good too.“

“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!“

“Tasty, tasty, tasty! Husband and I both loved our choices!“

“amazing service and yummy choices yum yum i love the workers! i also talked to the owner and he was incredible, friendly, and thoughtful. ❤️“

“Great soft serve ice creams“

“Thank you, Joon for the delicious boba teas 🧋 and smoothies! They were a hit! 18 drinks to celebrate our daughter’s birthday! My personal fave is milk tea with easy tapioca. We absolutely love this place and definitely will return!“

“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.“

“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!“

“WOW WOW WOW !!! AMAZING cookies and so beautiful too“

“Triple Scoopd is our go to ice cream shop in Park Ridge. Not only is the ice cream delicious but the shop is so cute and the staff goes above and beyond. Best ice cream shop in Park Ridge by FAR!!!“

“Delicious turtle split 😋 open late till 11pm week days 11:30 pm weekends. Very friendly fast service! thank you Andy's for a terrific experience“

“So so so good! We got pizza and ice cream. Both were perfect! We are so excited for summer with many dinners here!“

“Wow! The scoop size is massive. So delicious. I was way too ambitious getting a double 🤣“

“Kurimu is a very unique ice cream shop. They have lots of unique flavors that are very delicious. You can sample flavors before making your selection. It's hard to make a selection because everything is so delicious. The staff here in my experience have been very welcoming. I visit Kurimu every time I am in the area and they never disappoint.“

“I love the halo -halo but I hope the customer service will get better. The person who took my orders seems like she wasn’t glad I made an order and not so welcoming. Good customers service is A Must to attract more patron js . Thanks“

“I stopped by Cloud Tea recently and had a really good experience. The menu has plenty of bubble tea options, and everything tastes fresh. I ordered a Coconut smoothie and the sweetness level was perfect, with nice chewy tapioca pearls,The staff was friendly and the place had a relaxed vibe great for a quick drink or hanging out with friends. I will definitely be coming back to try more flavors!“

“This location is best approached as a modern, fusion-style snack and dessert spot, not a traditional La Michoacana street-food stand — and once you understand that, it’s actually a fun experience.

While the name points toward classic Mexican treats, the menu is much broader and global. You’ll find Indian street food, Nepali momos, fusion fries, masala flavors, lassis, aguas frescas, and desserts all sharing the same space. It’s less about authenticity and more about variety and creativity.

The food was very good. The momos were delicious, and the loaded fries were a standout — flavorful, generous, and well executed. Everything we tried tasted fresh and satisfying.

A big plus is that the entire menu is halal, which is rare for this kind of snack-and-dessert concept and makes it especially appealing for families and groups with mixed tastes.

The ambience is simple and casual — more functional than trendy — but the customer service absolutely makes up for it. The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely warm, which leaves a great impression.

If you’re looking for pure, traditional Mexican La Michoacana street food, this may not match that expectation. But if you’re open to a modern, multicultural twist with solid food and great hospitality, it’s definitely worth checking out.“

“Excellent ice cream and fudge!!“

“Nice little DQ that isn't as busy as other locations so it's great for a little treat for the kiddos without crazy long lines.

Kids always get blizzards so it's an easy order, but they come out quickly and correctly do it's a win win.“

“it is a great ice cream parlor“

“Best burgers in the area!“

“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.“

“The peppermint frozen yogurt cake was delicious! The perfect Christmas dessert!“

“Best yogurt hands down!“

“I'm so thrilled this spot never closed! It has the most friendly staff and great soft serve that suits me and mine. Our family loves to stop here on the way out of town, and it is always packed! I think the parking is weird but because the staff is quick, we don't wait long.
Again, thanks for never closing over all these years!“

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. ??????????‍⬛“

“very friendly and good food.“

“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.

Kid-friendliness: Nowhere to eat inside. But the flavors are always exciting for the kids. Especially the extras like shark gummies.“

“Need more syrup on the banana splits. Ice cream was good“

“Best ice cream ever!!!! I am an ice cream snob when I’m on vacation. I have to have it every day and I walked miles to that ice cream parlor this week the owner and the boy Jake that worked there was such awesome people too. I will definitely be back. I went tonight because I’m leaving in the morning sorted caramel chunk.!!!! you will not be disappointed“

“Good vibes. Glad it’s open. Got around 6 items. Most were good but the Carmel covered rice crispy was hard as a rock. Not sure if it was on the shelf for days or just over cooked but it truly hurt my teeth when I attempted to take a bite out of it. I tossed it out. I know these can be cooked and be soft cause I’ve had it at other locations cooked to perfection.

I will give it another shot and update this from 4 to 5 stars if they will just check the hard or staleness in the morning of some of the larger more expensive selections.

Tip: you can just pick up the rice crispy Carmel by the stick and tap it on a plate. If it goes clink clink clink, please throw it out before someone loses a tooth.

Thank you :)“

“Fast service Good response“

“Very good service... I highly recommend the place...“

“Matcha was of very high grade. Priced rightly for the great quality and taste! This place is located in food court of Mitsuwa marketplace. Offers many variations of matcha, such as strawberry or cinnamon and vanilla matcha. There are also matcha desserts such as soft serve. The original iced matcha latte was superb, as a regular matcha drinker this is near the top for me! 🍵💚“

“There are a lot of mixed reviews here. Our experience was great! The lady behind the counter was super nice and answered the few questions we had. The cookies were amazing (lucky for us, it was a Dubai chocolate cookie week). Everything was clean, nice and pleasant. We'll be back!“
