50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Harwood Heights

“A friend recommended Aghati house and I was pleasantly surprised. It's such a welcoming and cozy place. The service was amazing the owner was so nice to my boys that wanted to try everything. I tried the kunafa and it was delicious my 8 year old loved it too. Great place to relax and enjoy some unique flavors.“

“Ordered a single basket with onion rings. This is my go to favorite at any Culver’s I go to. This time I was very disappointed. The good thing is they got my burger order correct, no mayo, no pickles, add mustard. The disappointment came when I tried an onion ring. Now you have to understand I love their onion rings. Crispy, salty and delicious. At this particular location the rings were dripping with grease. I actually had to squeeze them with napkins just to make them edible. This was the first time in years that I did not finish my bag of rings.“

“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!“

“Some of the best ice cream you will ever have and so many options. The atmosphere is so much fun. The service is 10 out of 10 well no more like 100 out of 10. The lady working there was so good she is the definition of what customer service is.Just heads up, cash only but there is an ATM there.“

“Great Custard, hot dogs, & Service!“

“Did not try the food here but the ice cream here was decent. I got the cookies and cream, didn’t taste like traditional cookies and cream, mostly chocolate and oreo ?.Restaurant smelled good, and pizza looked very appetizing. You should try it out if you’re looking for dessert or some italian food.“

“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.“

“Always is and always will be amazing under Chris’ ownership. Portions are amazing and he sources his ice cream from Wisconsin which is mainly cedar crest. If you have never been I recommend going and don’t be deterred by the long lines.“

“The best Malt ever (Vainilla and Chocolate)! So good and not crazy sweet.Ice cream/sundaes are an art, the turtle sundae is a must!The jukebox in the table and the vintage decorations made me to play oldie songs in my head.Parking: Limited parking since main streets are aroundKid-friendliness: They have high chairs but place is super smallWheelchair accessibility: No accesible“

“First time stopping by tonight and totally love this place! Great service, the owner is so sweet. We got a mango fruit tea with tapioca and a fruit waffle. Omg, it was all so good! He took his time to make it and you can tell it was made with love. The little things matter :)“

“Everytime I stop by for a snack, they always welcome you with a big smile, they are very friendly, customer service is great, love coming to this michoacana ?. Love the strawberry yogurt with mix fruits. Thank you for your great customer service.“

“We have been coming here for years and honestly love the whole look of the place inside and out. The customer service has always been amazing, but honestly the area and the price for the food is always worth it. My wife never have a complaint when we come here.“

“Such a delicious treat in any kind of weather.“

“I was told this Dairy Queen was at this location for over 65 years and had that fantastic atmosphere for my day gone by. I enjoyed my ice cream treat and so did my wife and we were very happy coming to this location and we'll again. This location at a narrow parking lot in back because it was on a major corner but I no problem in parking or enjoying my Ice cream.“

“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.“

“I've never had a bad experience here at Crumbl Cookies!Since moving to the area a few months ago, this has been our go-to Crumbl Cookies spot. We get it probably once a month - yikes! Every time here, though, has been the opposite of yikes - the staff is friendly, the cookies are fresh, it's never busy, always clean, and there's ample parking outside. At my old Crumbl Cookies location in Schaumburg, it was always a tight squeeze and hustle-and-bustle situation inside the store and in the parking lot because it was so busy. This location is bigger with more parking, but it's never busy which I like. Let's be real, Crumbl Cookies are freaking good. There's 4 rotating flavors every single week and 2 constant flavors (chocolate chip & sugar). I always love the chocolate chip and will get it in replacement of one of the rotating cookies when I get a 4-pack. In my opinion the warm cookies are always better than the chilled, but some of the chilled ones are great, too. They also sometimes include a mystery cookie which yes, is a mystery when you get it. I love that they do that, I think it's a fun concept especially if you really don't know which other cookie to get or want to try something new.There's TONS of flavors in general at Crumbl, I can't even select my favorite one. When they have these flavors, I do really enjoy their cinnamon swirl cookie, s'mores, cinnamon fry bread, dulce de leche, Biscoff lava, chocolate cake, buckeye brownie, and basically any flavor that has cinnamon or caramel in it, or that's super chocolatey and gooey. You already know I'll be coming to this location again!“

“The staff here are very accommodating, they let us know the allergen ingredients (nuts / gelatin) for the ice cream characters before we ordered. They also offer unique flavors and the opportunity to sample them. Very cute concept, I’m glad we stopped in.“

“awesome..the Italian ice was on point..Strawberry..lime and coconut ..“

“I have been going to this place since it opened and i had always only gotten the nachos extra cheese and peppers because they reminded me of my childhood. But then i tried the ice cream it is the best. Look the owner she is the best and the most sweetest person in the world. And i am so happy for her that she expanded the shop. If you haven't been there go. Take the kids parents and just treat yourself.“

“Cookies were amazing! Someone bought a box to the bar and I was really impressed. The flavors and the taste were so different. I loved them so good I had to order a box the next day for my coworkers. Although, some of the flavors were different as they offer different flavor daily, they were still yummy. My co-workers were just as pleased as I was. Parking in Wicker Park to get to the cookies was a challenge but I managed. A lil bit pricey but worth the treat every now and then.“

“I love these ice cream they are unique and very creamy“

“Best ice cream ever! Staff is amazing!“

“It is a small bakery but has a fantastic selection of bakery goods. Donuts and Danish, are larger than usual. And fillings are awesome. They also have coffee cakes and strudels. I didn't have much time to look over all of the awesome bakes that were available that morning, because I came with a friend who is a regular. But, I did ask him, to let me know whenever he goes there, so I can ride along and purchase some of their baked goods.“

“Food was very good. I ended up with chilaquiles (with chicken breast) and my friend got the pupusas and dobladas. Really solid, and I appreciate the subtle differences in flavors between the Guatamalan dishes and standard Mexican fare. However, only 4/5 because ordering (in English) was difficult. I tried to get grilled skirt steak and a green chicken enchilada (as a single item, listed that way on the menu) but what was originally brought out was 3 green chicken enchiladas. I explained the issue and thought it was clear but ended up getting brought the chilaquiles. My friend got his pupusas but the dobladas was not brought and had to be ordered again. The food was delicious and I'm not a picky eater so this wasn't a huge deal, but others that need to order a specific thing, in English, may have trouble. I will be back though, and I will brush up on my Spanish.“

“The staff at Yogli Mogli are so sweet and so helpful. The yogurt was fresh and so delicious. I cannot rave more about this place. I plan on coming more often. 10/10 recommend! :)Kid-friendliness: The staff are so sweet towards kids and it’s such a kid friendly place!“

“Very small location with indoor service and walk up window. On hot days I’ve found that they run out of a lot of ice cream flavors by late afternoon. The service is very slow at the window. It would be helpful if the available flavors is up to date because it’s not a great situation to wait in line for 20 minutes and then have to completely reconsider your order. The ice cream is good. I go here frequentlyParking: Busy area with limited parking. Best bet is to take public transit or plan to park far away and walkWheelchair accessibility: Not an accessible business.“

“best ice ever. many taste, friendly workers. good price“

“The raspberry cheesecake (the free cookie I picked for my birthday) was a delightful surprise. I liked the crust/cookie crumble that was under the actual soft cheesecake part. The raspberry jam was also great to pair with it. It's for sure a "non" cookie, cookie item. But I think it was a wonderful thing to try! The service was great. I ordered via app and hit "I'm here" when I arrived and they packed it and handed it to me within a few minutes. The ambiance is a cute shop that is for take out only.“

“Dairy Star is a Unique Experience!!! the cool things you can order here that you can't get at just a regular ice cream shop or grocery store. So Yummy and customizable, you can never get bored of their options. Highly recommend their Vanilla Frozen yogurt dipped in Chocolate--- its so cool seeing them dip it in the melted chocolate on the spot as it solidifies; the Snow Blitz is also great, and also really liked the Chocolate & Vanilla frozen yogurt swirl. I genuinely think Their ice cream tastes better than any other place I've so far tried. As a kid I really looked forward to dairystar opening in the spring. if you are in mood of a sweet treat this definitely is the place“

“"Hey everyone! I recently had the chance to try the strawberry ice cream at Rita's, and let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing! ?? The flavor was so rich and creamy, and you could really taste the freshness of the strawberries. The staff was super friendly and helped me pick the perfect flavor. If you're a fan of strawberry ice cream, you definitely need to give Rita's a try. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! ♥️“

“Love the friendly service & smiles from all the staff. Isaac is wonderful! The ice cream is homemade and absolutely the best! Take time to visit one of their stores.“

“Excellent eating experience, the food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing, all staff are friendly, helpful and kind, We highly recommend..Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our family during our visit to the Sauganash Grill.“

“Amazing place. I suggest changing the name to the Michoacana Elite! I was amazed at how nice it looked compared to any other location I have visited. The food is fusion, and the samosa smash pizza was to die for. I highly recommend this place! Of course, the sweets are fantastic, “

“I had a basic churro which was yummy and my partner had the Maradona. The Maradona was really enough for me, him and our two children unless you are having a snack attack. Its 2 churros with gelatoIt isn’t a one stick churro, basically 2 since it’s like half a rope. We enjoyed.“

“Excellent cannolis and baked goods“

“Delightful! Who knew you could get a great deli tomato bisque here? I didn’t until I walked in. They have sandwiches too. And gluten free sandwich bread. The soup is delicious. Plus book lovers will enjoy the book suggestions and abundant choice of seating. Will be back.“

“Great service and good ice cream“

“Very good I love it in my neighborhood“

“I come here often, and the cookies & service is always exceptional.HOWEVER, I want to make note of my experience on Friday night of 2/23/2024. The staff that night provided the best service I've experienced anywhere in years. Their phenomenal energy and service always makes my visit memorable. The two working tonight are by far my favorite across the board. Boss, if you're seeing this, please give them the full raise! They're the best ?“

“Excellent service and the owners provides groceries for Evanston's seniors and shut in.“
