“Just had the ice cream, which was yummy! Next time we’ll stop for lunch & ice cream!!“

“I love cocomero. I came in here after a long and hard day at work. I was welcomed right away. The Cake batter yogurt is so good. If only my husband could please me like the yogurt does. The thick and cold yogurt is so good. I love the little fruit balls the have juice inside. Will be coming (coming back here because my husband can’t make me come) ?“

“This is a classic DQ that serves the community in a classic fashion. Everyone is outside enjoying their ice cream. It is close to a busy road unfortunately and there isn't much parking. It's best to walk and enjoy as you take a stroll or meet up with your friends.

Parking: There is only space for about 8 cars“

“So many delicious flavors, it was hard to pick. Our family of four enjoyed our different choices. It's a beautiful ambiance for the beginning of summer with indoor and outside space. Staff was very friendly and helpful in helping us decide which flavors to try. Def recommend and we'll be back to try new flavors!“

“Amazing to place to begin with. Took forever to choose what to get because there's a lot of options. Staffs are nice and friendly. They keep on giving us samples and that make us hard to decide more. lol. They also keep offering you water. They have dining area but we preferred outdoor. Will never think twice in going back there.

Kid-friendliness: Kids enjoyed our stay there. Very friendly and nice staffs.“

“What an amazing ice cream shop, or more specifically frozen custard shop. I got the biscoff concrete and it was delicious blend of biscoff cookies and frozen custard.

The menu had an interesting list of options. Going to try next the cinnamon rice pudding flavor concrete that is described as tasting like horchata. Or maybe the Belgian Butter Pecan.“

“First time there today, but I'll be back again soon. The coffee milkshake was so good, as was their cheezy bread! Can't wait to try more!“

“This place has so much to choose from! Soft serve, so many ice cream flavor, so many toppings, shaved ice, shakes, banana split, etc.“

“Great Custard, hot dogs, & Service!“

“Great unique flavors of gelato and lots of interesting and fascinating carnival type acts. Where else can you eat gelato and watch people swallow swords?“

“Awesome little spot! My family and I stumbled over it just because it was a local spot which was just walking distance from where we live. Even though Ice cream can pretty much sell itself, this spot's customer service was on point. The lady helping us behind the counter was nice and helpful. Another guy came from around back to greet us and handed all 4 of my kids gum off the display rack. We all got ice cream or milkshakes, while I was waiting I noticed they had little Hispanic street food menu. I ended up ordering some "Elote" with Flaming Hot Cheetos. I would upload pictures, but I finished the elote before I could get home. We will definitively be back soon.“

“The Concrete: Peach Cobbler was amazing!!!“

“Great ice cream shop. We got a text saying they’ll be closed for the season on the 2nd, my daughter was so upset and cried, so I called to make sure they’d be open for Halloween since some smaller business will be closed that way we can go one last time and the guy who answered the phone was rude. Not sure if it was the owner, it sounded like an older man. My 6 year old loves this place and to be talked to rudely was upsetting. Luckily when we go in the staff is always so nice. But if that was the owner, that’s a shame.“

“Delightful Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shop with outdoor seating next to the CTA Station off Montrose Red Line.
Enjoyed the ice cream our first time so much we came back a week later. ?
Ice cream cone, banana split, milk shake... all good! ?“

“I'm glad I found this little gem. The own is super welcoming and kind. The coffee was the best I've had I'm a long time and the food was amazing! And the prices were on point. It's a tight space and that's my only complaint, but I'm not even complaining. Go here, you'll be happy you did.

Vegetarian options: Small menu, in general, but a few vegan options.“

“Cool local ice cream joint in Park Ridge serving lots of options of ice cream and they also sell merch.

Nice fast friendly customer service - the ambiance is of any standard ice cream shop.

Worth checking out for ice cream!“

“Came in with a friend who had never had boba before. The owner(?) recommended her a flavor and offered to make her a different kind if she didn't like it. She had brown sugar, I had taro, and my wife had a caramel latte boba. All were delicious! We also got the mini pancake bites which were fantastic. The owner(?) was super nice and gave us free water as well. If it wasn't a 40 minute drive for us we would be here all the time!“

“Came here with the first time with my wife and we absolutely loved it! The food was very unique; It was a fusion of Mexican, Korean, and Indian food. We ordered the Korean BBQ tacos and the chicken tikka pizza. Food came out fresh and right out of the oven. The customer service was also exceptional. The owner was very accommodating despite there being a large party before us. After having our food, we made our way to the ice cream station. They had so many flavors!!! From green tea, ube, strawberry cheesecake, Cookie Monster, etc. They even had specialty popsicles that I can only get when I’m in California or Mexico. This place is a gem. I wish I would have gone to this place sooner. My wife and I will definitely be going back!“

“The chicken tenders were the best I've had. The sauces were delish! We had great service we got a show while it was prepared!!!!!. The waffle was really good. The chili dog was awesome! Definitely going back!“

“Staff is always friendly and answer any of your questions. The popsicles come in even more flavors than the already vast ice cream choices. Just beware that some of the popsicles taste icy or have weak flavor. The ones that have cream/milk inside are much better.“

“Great selection. Great service, very fast. Lots of seating and there's even a bench outside for people to eat outdoors. There's chess as well. And lots of pre-packaged products to take home for later. The root beer float is a great choice but mint chocolate is always my go to

“I visited here yesterday for the first time and I absolutely loved it! First off, it has such a quaint vibe that is welcoming and calming. Then, the lady at the counter greeted me warmly and explained a bit about their options. I ended up going with a box of five truffles: traditional, cookies and cream, coconut, coffee, and strawberry. At first, I was a bit concerned about the price, but when I took that first bite, I realized it was worth it. Each of the truffles I tried were so delicious, genuinely the best chocolate I've had in so long. My favorite was the cookies and cream, as it had a perfect balance of the cookie crumbles with the chocolate inside. I also really enjoyed the coconut, which is saying a lot as I don't usually like coconut, but this truffle had the perfect amount of coconut where it was not overwhelming but complemented the chocolate. The worker also gave us a free sample of their fudge gelato which tasted great as well! She also mentioned that they add a little something special in the boxes if it's a gift for someone, so this would be a great gift for any chocolate lovers you know. Definitely worth the price and 5/5 stars all around, will be going back very soon!“

“I went there 'cause people said they had the classic vibes of what Dairy Queen was at its begginning. Well... they exceeded my expectations. The service is a 20/10 and as soon as you get in the place, you can feel how you get transported to the past. Love the pics of its begginings on the wall. Gonna go back when I visit Chicago again.“

“Tasty ice cream, pleasant staff, good family atmosphere“

“This place has so much to choose from! Soft serve, so many ice cream flavor, so many toppings, shaved ice, shakes, banana split, etc.“

“Let’s face it. There are La Michoacana ice cream stores on every other block on North Clark. We stopped here for dessert and it’s easily our favorite! The helado (ice cream) is to die for! The coconut is outstanding as is Abuela’s Chocolate. There are regular flavors and some (Rum Raisin!) are so creative and delicious. And the paletas! The BEST Arroz, Fresa, Mango, Coconut...the list goes on. And the couple that run the place are just the sweetest people! Highly recommended.“

“Amazing food. Staff was great and the owner likes Kola Champagne lol so he stocks it. Perfect way to celebrate my kids' graduations. Hopefully I can host a Cars and Coffee there. Best of luck, we will spread the word.“

“I had ordered a whipped cream cake with cannoli and custard filling it was delicious all the guests loved it and the birthday girl was so happy it's her favorite you did a wonderful job thank you. Danita“
