I was so sad to hear when the Skokie location closed but im happy this one is still open and thriving! My go-to order is a green tea bubble shake with tapioca. Nothing beats it for me. I ordered a shake over the weekend and it literally tastes the same from 15+ years ago. Pure nostalgia for me. I may be a little biased cause I'm filipino (hehe). But all their other ice cream flavors are bomb too!!!

What are Filipino flavors you ask? Well there is my go to which is the ube. Ube is part of the sweet potato family but it's deep purple in color. It's sweet and somewhat nutty and it is truly making its name out there right now, especially in Chicago. They also have buko pandan - a coconut flavor, and cheese and corn. Yes you read that right - but don't knock it til you try it! The ice cream shop is small and they only have a few small tables and chairs available, so it's not great for large groups. Samples are available so if you are not sure about a flavor, don't be scared to ask to try it. Service has usually been pretty quick whenever I come, so no complaints there.

If you like my reviews, consider "following" my profile for reviews all across the SF Bay Area . Why "follow" someone? It causes the person you follow's reviews to tier to top when you pull up a business. I find this very handy when researching venues. Rod's Review grading scale explained. Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale. 5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews)

Yesterday was the first or second 70 degree day of 2026, so the weather was perfect and the seasonal re-opening of the DQ a mile away was to our advantage because the crowd was a bit quieter here and we were able to find a street spot. I think my daughter was overwhelmed when we walked in; there are lots of choices. She could barely contain herself, but I guess that's to be expected of a two year old. I got her a kiddie scoop of decadent chocolate, which she liked but may have been a bit too chocolatey for her. Or maybe she just wanted to taste a bit of mine and was done with the chocolate. I got a single scoop of the caramel ice cream. I'm not really sure if the sizes were different or if it was the size of the cup because they seemed the same. Both ice creams were so flavorful, really rich. It's a dangerous place to stop that's for sure. But next time I'm getting a scoop of each! As with almost all the South Park businesses, there's no dedicated parking. You'll look for street parking. South Park is across the street so I imagine some days at the wading pool with a stop for ice cream afterward are in our future. There's seating both in and outside; we sat outside and it was really pleasant. They have pre-portioned ice cream in a cooler inside as well as ice cream cakes, and a water dispenser as well. They have a little cart that I've seen at various functions around town as well, if you're out and about and happen upon them. You can also rent the cart for your own event! The staff were helpful, the store was neat and tidy. This is a wonderful small business in Park Ridge and we're so lucky to have them here!

Take any flavor, add whatever toppings and mix-ins you'd like, add a hard candy shell, eat it out of a mini baseball helmet, I could go on. It's right near a park as well, so a perfect stop for any family with kids. They hire local kids and support local initiatives as well. Today I had a butterscotch shake with hot fudge mixed in. Decadent and delicious, it was just what I needed to cool off after a day in the sun. It came out in about 30 seconds, quick service as always. You can have your ice cream and eat it too! And you can feel good that you supported a small business instead of [insert giant ice cream conglomerate here].

And now, much, much closer to where I live. But, I also love their pre-packed Chocolate Ice Cream and their sumptuos Chocolate Ice Cream Cake! Not to mention they're Milk Chocolate Pecan Clusters, and they come in Cashews and Peanuts as well. It's now very dangerous that they are just a stones throw away from us. I just gained 5 pounds just drooling over this review for the best chocolatier around.

Our kids love sweet treats and they are always looking forward to stopping one on the way home after some playtime. Flavor choices at "Frio Gelato" are great, ranging from anything chocolate to anything fruity. Our younger one likes anything berries, so he immediately picked out mixed berries and strawberry. One of my personal favorites is "tramontana," which is a popular Argentine gelato flavor featuring creamy fior di latte with dulce de Leche. The profile is rich, so get a cup of Americano standby. There are some beverage offerings on the menu. For "cafe-lato," one can request a choice of gelato to be blended in with the latte. The shop itself is clean and spacious with a few tables. Every time we came in, we were the only dine-in patrons so our kids exciting, loud speaking didn't bother too many people (except the very friendly staff...lol). I bet this place will be super popular during summer when people are hanging out on Central Ave. here in Wilmette. Parking is convenient and street parking can be found nearby.

Each place has a theme, or a charm all its own and Grind N Gears Cafe is one of the latter. When you pull up you immediately recognize the place as a former body shop or service station. Not a as station, but a body shop. They have their own small parking lot in front with special motorcycle parking on the sides of the lot. It's a small place. When you walk inside there is a runner leading up to the counter with their case of delicious looking eats and a platform above with an old Indian motorcycle perched looking over the place. To the right of the counter are some toys for the kids, including a kids motorcycle and other funs toys to keep the kiddos busy while their parents enjoy a magically concocted coffee drink by the shops artisans. There are comfy little sitting areas composed of oversized furniture from your parents basement. The front has a few racks of leather jackets that feels like your at The Alley's northern location. They do have some hats and apparel for their own shop and I almost bought a hat. On the left side, they have another seating area, but it looks more like a table in a cozy kitchen than a sitting room. It's quaint no matter where you look or sit. Lastly, their drinks and food are quite good. With all the stand alone coffee places popping up, Grinds N Gears is one of the cooler places and I don't mean hipster.
