My husband and I prefer ice cream over cake any day and so happy we found Cook's. Planning during the 2020/2021 season was a challenge for everyone. Jennifer is a pleasure to work with. She is so kind and warm. She has a cute shop in downtown Elgin that is filled with old timey candies and other fun treats. Hope to stop in her shop again soon when in the area

Found this ice cream place in Elgin. It may look kind of haphazard but it has some good products…read more Stop N Dip is kind of set up weird. Has quite a few things to choose from. There's some quite unusual flavors so you can come back a few times. Coming here the first time it was kind of confusing. It's located on one side of the entrance. There's a bit of a passage to get through. Has mostly gelatos. There's also a few sorbets at times. It's about $5 a scoop, but there's much more than just bowls and cones. They make milkshakes and even have hot and iced coffee including Turkish. Crepes are one of the main items. These are filled with chocolate, Nutella, or basically whatever. Also they have dip sticks, which is fruit on skewers dipped in chocolate. They also make lava cake and other big items. Got a lot of sweet stuff to both drink and eat. It's located on Douglas close to Highland. There's a lot of more unusual flavors, along with more common ones, so it has a pretty big variety.

We stopped in late. --thirty minutes before closing. All of us ordered crepes of one kind or…read moreanother. I ordered a Digestive Crepe. It was dry AF inside. Filled only with dry crumbly cookies. And the bottom of the crepe was so overcooked that it was hard to cut through. Everyone agreed that it was like a tortilla on bottom They were all welcoming and the place clean. I just wouldn't return.

We found this gem in downtown Elgin. It's a super quaint nostalgic diner serving up all of your…read morefavorite diner meals for lunch and diner, but they are also serving house made ice cream and malts. What we had: **Tuna Deluxe with fries ** Cheeseburger with fries ** Chocolate malt~ AMAZING The server was so friendly, and explain some history and about the upstairs dining area an invited us to check it out after our meal. During the warmer months they also have outside seating available. This is a must try for just the malts themselves!!

Better late than never! This review is coming exactly a year after my visit, but the meal was…read morememorable enough that I still remember everything. They started us off with some grilled bread and butter that was perfectly toasty and warm, which I paired with a creamy soup for a great start to the meal. I also finally tried schnitzel for the first time! Along with spatzle, which I enjoyed it so much even though I didn't know what to expect! The dessert was easily the best part, though. We shared a butter pecan malt shake with chocolate fudge and it was amazing . They still use those old-school milkshake machines and bring you the extra in the metal cup, which is such a great nostalgic touch. The atmosphere inside is lovely too, especially all the framed photos of historical buildings that used to be in downtown Elgin! The staff were so friendly too. The waiter was such a sweetheart and made the experience even more enjoyable.

Didn't realize how nasty it was until i got home when the water had already mixed with everything while the gigantic layer of mayo at the bottom stayed intact. Called and he said it's how they make it at that store. Its not, I've had one made before by someone different and it has never been this diabolical bullshit. Just greedy and stingy. If you dont look like a "local" then avoid.

Fanny's has an Elgin & St Charles location. I visited the Elgin location with my husband for an…read moreevening treat. The inside was smaller but very clean. Parking was a bit difficult in this part of town. They had an ordering kiosk but one could ring a bell for someone to come over if you'd prefer to pay cash. They offer a variety of topping styles on top of their classic rolled ice cream. The ice cream itself is condensed milk placed on a frozen plate that gets neatly spread out to freeze into its ice cream state. The workers then roll it up and place into a bowl before adding your toppings. It was fun to see and delicious to eat. The ice cream flavors tend to be straight forward chocolate or vanilla since it comes from the condensed milk. Either way, the experience is fun and this is a cute shop.

This place is a great experience. This Is only the second store I've seen with this ice cream. Its…read moremango tango was very yummy. The banana with Nutella was also very good too. Neither were too sweet. They also had mango smoothie or other milk teas if you want a different kind of variety. And they had free water and different flavored milk teas. The free watermelon tea was tasty. The staff were friendly. The ambiance of this place is kind of out of this world. Give this place a try, especially if you've never had roll ice cream! It's worth the buzz/craze. Solid A

Had some better than expected Chinese food in Elgin. It looks like a dump from the outside, but…read morerest easy because it looks like a dump on the inside. Gee N Jay's is one of the cheap Americanized Chinese classics. Only has orders to go. The majority of customers wouldn't want to eat inside thankfully. Found out about this after going past it a few times and after that we got curious. It's a pretty crappy looking building that even has a drive thru if you can believe it. This certainly isn't authentic stuff. A typical place with the big pictures of the entrees. They only had a few listed. Also has kiosks. These had the full menu though. It's about $13 for an entree. There's a few okay for vegetarians. I got the Kung Pao Tofu. This is a pretty standard version. Has a pretty good hotness. There's mostly tofu along with a few pieces of baby corn and peppers. Great place to get takeout, because that's the only option of course. It's located on Dundee at Page. They close pretty early in the evenings, and they're closed on Wednesdays.
