Love the new addition to this store this year(2025)! This is our favorite summer spot for ice cream. I don't always order ice cream and I'm glad I can get other options instead. Thank you for this, can't wait for the summer!

so after telling my daughter we were going here for ice cream she told me she read a review stating they didn't have ice cream but they were pushing corn and pico. I thought, cool this will be fun. Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed they had ice cream. I had wanted to see the corn. The ice cream was great and our server was super friendly. We will be back.

I came here so many times for the first time this past summer of 2023 and I have to tell you this is such a hidden gem so close to my house. I wish I'd found it sooner. This place has way more than 31 flavors on any given day and they have so many fun unique flavors as well. I love it. Every time I take kids here, my niece and nephews I love it. Even bettter than that are the portions are so generous that you get a loyal customer every single time. It also helps that every time I've been here while it is usually staffed with probably highschoolers or college kids back from school. Everyone is super nice and super friendly and all the customers are very patient , so it's a great environment overall!!! Only wish they had more seating, both inside and outside because this place can get busy and crowded as totally understandable with the selection, the prices and the service !!!

Fantastic selection and premium products made by "Chocolate Shoppe" out of Wisconsin. The flavors do rotate some, but they usually have non-dairy and sugar free options on hand. Flavors range from traditional (chocolate, vanilla, caramel) to more exotic (blueberry cheesecake, peanut butter cookie dough) and all kinds of creations ("fat Elvis" with banana, peanut butter and chocolate chips or the "exhausted parent" with bourbon, espresso and chocolate chunks) You can get scoops (cones or dish), shakes, sundaes with a large variety of toppings, or the "Scoopzilla", which is something like a dozen scoops, maybe more? We may need to host a party just to try it! The staff are friendly and they really hustle to serve customers quickly. There is no inside seating but there is a large parking lot with ample space or a block north of Palatine Road on Windsor is Lake Arlington so a perfect place to take your ice cream to enjoy.
