Ice Cream Shops near Barrington

“I have come to this candy shop for the last 10 years. That should speak for itself. If it doesn't, I'll say more:I absolutely love chocolate malts. Any place I go that has them, I always order one. SweetSpot makes the most INCREDIBLE malt I have ever had anywhere, and not once in 10 years has it been less than amazing! I took a friend a few months ago, telling them that the malts are the best and she was skeptical. Had one sip and said it was "50/10."However, if you aren't into malts, there are many other things to love. They have the widest variety of candies I have ever seen at one shop, plus some types of candy that I haven't seen anywhere else in 15 years, not to mention soda in actual glass bottles! Good luck finding those in your local grocery store! It seems impossible to find a real *candy* store anymore, as opposed to a store with a candy section.If you're in the area, SweetSpot is a must-visit. I'm moving several hours away tomorrow, but you can be sure that any time I come back to visit, I'll be stopping here for a malt!“

“Our son, Parker has worked at Nekter for almost a year now. He actually loves working there, and that’s all you can ask from your 18-year-old son. Loren and Brandon, the owners, really care about these kids and the same with the quality of food they make fresh every day. Having a son who works at Nekter has also afforded us the opportunity to try virtually everything on the menu. Yes, we are real customers but mostly we just love healthy food that tastes really good. If you’ve ever had a smoothie from a chain place, you’ll instantly know the difference. Our favorite things are their Chia pudding w pumpkin and a Popeyes Açaí are ridiculous. You know when your teenager makes homemade cashew milk at home… reminds you that you live in Barrington but also that the universe is working!“

“I came here and they have delicious bubble tea and frozen yogurt, they also have many options for toppings. I purchased the lychee boba and it was so delicious! The place is very clean to. However the hours are a bit odd they open pretty late but they close late to which is convenient. Overall great place!“

“They had every candy imaginable from novelty pieces to current new favorites. They also had ice cream, Italian ice, pretzels, nachos & funnel cakes. I’ve been to the shop plenty of times as well and they have even more sweet treats there. Definitely stop by and support this great local business!!“

“AMAZING PLACE! I have a severe tree nut allergy and they were very accommodating and informative. I felt super safe eating here, which is oftentimes not the case at smoothie shops. I will definitely be coming here often because of how safe I feel.Dietary restrictions: I have a severe tree nut allergy and they accommodated me and made me feel safe. Sometimes restaurants are rude or make me feel unsafe, but they were kind and made sure I saw all of the ingredients. It was absolutely amazing!Parking: Easy to park and plenty of spots!“

“After two failed attempts, I eventually acquired the cinnamon square. I swear, when I placed my order using the kiosk machine, it appeared before me in a supernatural manner. I was amazed at how quickly it was ready. It was warm and moist as I bite into it. The texture and temperature were perfect, the icing was silky, and the dough was fluffy, but the flavor was weak, I didn't notice a strong cinnamon aroma.“

“Very good place service was nice and caring cookies were also deliciousVegetarian options: Good vegetarianDietary restrictions: They tell u what’s in them if u are skepticalParking: Many spotsKid-friendliness: Was very nice to my kidsWheelchair accessibility: Parking spots up close and easy access“

“Super cute walk up diner style custard shop. It's a family affair with husband, wife and kids, (as well as local high-school students) greet you with a smile. I've seen them patiently training and shadowing the young workers on how to ring up orders, make change, and deliver the items ordered, which is refreshing, since most on job training lately seems to be "figure it out." The custard is delicious, super fresh made with quality ingredients, small batches, a new flavor of the day and always the tried and true flavors; Chocolate and Vanilla. If the flavor of the day isn't your thing, you can always buy a pint of a flavor from earlier in the week, handpacked in a pint container and frozen solid. Just thaw it on the counter about 30 min. They also offer Coffee, Water, tons of sundaes and shakes, special treats, AND a non dairy option of a frozen pineapple whip, which is really tasty. Open 3 to 9 Monday to Saturday (closed Sunday) Give it a try this summer. You'll be glad you did.“

“Took my kids there over the weekend. Timed it with an ice cream flavor I knew two of us would try. Kids and I absolutely loved it. Young lady working the front register was very patient while taking my kids orders. She even read back the order to make sure she got everything. We ate under their pergola which was nice. The traffic on route 45 wasn’t the best to listen to but the overall experience was great. Please note that if you have not been before they have vanilla, chocolate and a flavor of the day.“
