They were both incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. They gave us excellent recommendations and made us feel very well taken care of throughout our visit. Their friendly attitude and outstanding customer service made our experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Domenica and Mateo!“

“We are a family of 5 who enjoyed everything we ordered! The service went above and beyond our expectations. While consuming our food we also had the opportunity to witness how everyone was greeted and treated wonderfully. There were games available for the children to play it was very fun for our entire family. Just to share a little more about the level of attention we received my four-year-old was completely terrified of the Easter Bunny I was talking to her about how it was someone in a costume similar to when she dresses up in costumes or princess dresses staff was willing to take off the Easter bunny mask to ensure my daughter felt safe and secure this changed the whole visit for her she was no longer scared still very cautious but not scared and was able to enjoy eating her tamale♥️ I would most definitely recommend this place to others! ♥️“

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

“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.“

“Super friendly guys there. This was my 2nd Crumbl stop tonight as the 1st one off Golf (across from golf mill mall) did not honor my free bulls mini cookie. They said they didn’t have any chocolate chip cookies. So I called the one off Touhy Ave in Niles and the fellow named Cesar was super friendly and helpful and said they’d honor it. So I drove there and they did! At the store, Cesar was super friendly and the other fellow working there too. So nice compared to the employees at the Crumbl near me in Skokie. I avoid that location at all costs! They (Skokie location) have no customer service skills and would benefit from some training in customer service. Could learn a thing or two from Cesar and his coworker.“

“I LOVE frozen yogurt, and it's hard to find good places to get it in Chicago, but Forever Yogurt really stands out as a great one!!! They have a HUGE selection of toppings, including the regular ones you'd imagine like hot fudge and caramel, sprinkles, etc, but they also have all the candies you could imagine, fruits, other sauces, and a cereal bar with all the cereal you could imagine to top your yogurt!! The menu behind the counter is really huge too, they have fruit bowls, a hot chocolate bar, smoothies, and more cool stuff! I really enjoyed the froyo and the atmosphere, it's decorated super cute, and the employee working was super super wonderful. Highly recommend! Very 2000s 😍“

“So I had the pleasure of meeting the owner today , we had ordered for our work and I was short 3 frozen Italian icies , but he jumped into action ( even explained what happened and what location sent what , I did the ordering off of GrubHub ) when I called and personally hand delivered them to my job !! He made my coworkers who were missing theirs happy and feel special !! And we all loved them and very tasty and good too !! Thank you for fixing what could have been a negative a positive !! The location on Lincoln rocks !!“

“it's our fav. place for ice cream“

“I came on opening weekend, the staff was exteemely friendly and the Ice cream was AMAZING! I was surprised by the large flavor selection and the dairy free offerings. My favorite flavor is mint chocolate chip, they offered it in both dairy free and regular! I personally love the cute waffle cookie that came with my dish. This will be a regular spot for me and my family!“

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

“Great for everyone and great for everything. Unique desserts.“

“This is a great place to get food, it’s all delicious and not that expensive..“

“They have a great variety of ice cream flavors! We sampled almost every flavor they had on display. 🍦
We ended up getting the **Brown Butter Almond Brittle** and **Confetti Brownie Batter**, and both were absolutely delicious. Each had its own unique flavor, and I loved that they weren't overly sweet.

The vibe of the place was really nice too—cozy, fun, and perfect for hanging out with friends or family. Overall, a great spot if you're craving quality ice cream with plenty of flavour options!“

“it is a great ice cream parlor“

“Delicious 🤤 10/10 recommend!!“

“Hands down this place has the best Superman ice cream“

“Excellent cannolis and baked goods“

“I’m a foodie, always down to explore unique flavors. And this place has many. Cafe con Leche, figs with cognac, Merlot with berries -YES! That one was my favorite. The authenticity of coffee and wine was very interesting to find in ice cream. The only thing I missed was the basic, crispy cones (they might’ve been out I didn’t ask) - the ones they had were way too sweet.“

“Well for beginners I’m from Wisconsin and this is the first location of Culver’s in Illinois that I have been to. The overall service met all the expectations that Culver’s expects out of there employees. The food was 10 out of 10. Fresh and delicious. I had the chicken tenders ( crispy but not to hard) juicy meat with fries crisp to perfection. And the cheese curds where deep fried just right! My significant other had the classic double butter burger with cheese and wasn’t disappointed either. The ceo or owner please give them some type of recognition because it goes a long way. I just ordered again for a second night in a row. Thank you for bringing me a taste of home, happiness, and fresh food!!!!
Much love,
