    Rajbhog on top of faluda in a waffle cone.
    Angel A.

    Amazing spot to get ice cream. Wide variety of selections with some unique flavors to try. I had the rajbhog and faluda. Im not familiar with these flavors but being Indian, they reminded me of the desserts we would have during events growing up. The rajbhog was loaded with different nuts and the faluda had a delicious rose water flavor. If I get the chance to bring my dad to one of these, I certainly will. Maybe one day they'll add a mango kulfi to the menu. The staff here are also very quick with service. A line of about 15 people made it through orders and got their ice cream in about 5 -10 minutes. Great place to bring the kids after little league or that special someone for a sweet treat. If I were to consider opening an ice cream shop, I could be convinced to franchise with Brusters.

    So excited to have a new ice cream shop in Hoffman Estates! I just happen to be in the shopping center when I saw the signs that Bruster's was finally open. Super cute storefront, this location is walk up only. They are on the corner of the pad, next to Red Robin. As I looked over the menu, the staff offered to let me sample any flavors I wanted to try. Some other customers walked up and I wanted to make my selection. They answered all my questions and while I was deciding, I signed up for their rewards program. Before I could even order I had a $3 off coupon in my account! I hadn't had lunch yet so I didn't want to fill up on samples. I did try the banana pudding. Oh my gosh, it was so good! I went home with a pint of that but I can't wait to go back and try more flavors.

    Such a cool new ice cream spot! The strawberry matcha and ube were definitely my favorite flavors, and I loved that they had some Indian-inspired flavors for my dad to try too. The location is convenient with plenty of easy parking, which is always a plus. Really good selection and something a little different from your typical ice cream shop. Will definitely be returning!

    What a great ice cream shop add to the Poplar Prairie Stone Crossing shopping center! I enjoyed that this is a walk up shop but doesn't have any tables and chairs to sit and enjoy treats at. Their menu had a great variety of flavors and even had options for dairy free and sugar free. The staff was nice and let is sample some flavors before we decided. My favorite flavors were the Graham Central Station, Caramel Brownie Batter, and Faluda. I also tried the Banana Peanut Butter Ripple, Death by Chocolate, and Southern Banana Pudding. Orders were made quickly and quality of ice cream was amazing! Already looking forward to returning to try more flavors! Tip: Sign up for their rewards program for free and get $3 off your first order.

    The Dead Kennedys had a song about this place:…read more "Too young! Too young to f***" I walked into Daisy's, looked behind the counter, and immediately felt like Chris Hansen was going to rappel through the ceiling. The P.O.A. Index wasn't merely unavailable, it had been confiscated by the State of Illinois, sealed in an evidence bag, and transported somewhere my lawyer strongly advised me not to follow. Everyone working there looked so young that instead of wondering whether anyone was attractive, I started wondering when everyone's mother was coming to pick them up. One girl asked what flavor I wanted and I nearly replied, "Whatever people ate before you were born." This wasn't an ice cream run anymore. This was a mortality check. I entered Daisy's as a reasonably youthful man looking for dessert and walked out mentally pricing burial plots and wondering whether Costco sells Metamucil by the pallet. Fortunately, the ice cream was excellent... except for the non-sensical names. Besides the one labeled "smores" it was like trying to decide the enigma machine from WWII. If one can decipher the flavors... the ice cream is rich, creamy, enormous portions, exactly the kind of old-school neighborhood ice cream that makes you temporarily forget you've apparently become old enough to have employees serving you who don't remember a world before smartphones. Five stars... begrudgingly. I went in wanting a cone. I came out eligible for a reverse mortgage.

    My husband and I went to Daisy's Ice Cream for a late snack. At 9:30 there was a long line out the…read moredoor. I can see why. They serve Chocolate Shoppe ice cream (a premium brand) and they have great prices. We shared a four scoop cup for $7.99!!! It's a good thing they haven't heard about inflation. They also have unique flavors like pb&j. The decorations are super fun. I highly recommend Daisy's Ice Cream!

    The perfect spot to handle your sweet treat cravings! Scoop Society is located in the South…read moreBarrington Arboretum. They advertise having over 80 flavors of ice cream! You are welcomed to sample any of the flavors and cost is determined by weight of ice cream. Unlike other places, toppings can be added for free after you pay for your ice cream. They had a variety of sauces, candies, sprinkles, and even offered complimentary coffee. I sampled a variety of flavors and really enjoyed the Twix Bar, Marsh-Mallow Smores, Salted Caramel Blondie but ultimately chose the Boston Cream Pie. My only drawback was staff could have been happier, the floors were a bit dirty, and toppings counter was a bit disheveled. They also promote most ice cream flavors as "Howling Ice Cream" but some containers were clearly marked as Haggen-Dazs. Either way, I enjoyed my ice cream and would revisit! Tip: They did have (3) non-dairy ice cream flavors on top of many sorbet flavors.

    Cannot believe the awful experience I had here. We stopped in as they advertise 80 flavors of…read morepremium ice cream. Walking in, all of the flavors are marked with a sticker for The Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream with a description for each. This was a lie as multiple containers were actually marked as Hagen Dazs. There is a sign stating that they price the ice cream by weight, but nothing that shows what the price per weight actually is. For two people with cups that did not hold much ice cream it was $28. I have been to plenty of places that serve Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream, and it is about half the price for the amount of ice cream we got. By far the worst experience I've had getting ice cream and that is a difficult thing to accomplish. Not only was this extremely overpriced, but not even the correct ice cream advertised.

I am…read morevery particular when it comes to the cleanliness of the kitchen and utensils, the quality of the ingredients and the love that goes into that preparation. That said, with things going on in my life, I don't always have the time to bake like I want to. When I need something and I don't have the time to do it, then I usually go to a brick and mortar bakery. Imagine my surprise when I discovered a mutual Facebook friend running a baking business out of her home (https://www.facebook.com/MissKittysTreats). For most of you that have read my reviews, you know I am a big supporter of local businesses. Back in February I discovered that Miss Kitty was doing cakes, so I ordered one from her for Valentine's Day, a lovely chocolate mocha coconut cake with ganache and espresso. Well that did not go so well. The cake arrived as planned and looked beautiful, but The Doctor was admitted into the hospital for a triple bypass. We eventually got home to try the cake about two weeks later, and it was very good. But as a baker, I knew that cake would have been a whole lot tastier if we had it on VD. Fast forward to our anniversary and we got the same cake to have at home as dessert with The Queen. OMG! The flavors were so amazing and the cake was so moist. For you folks that like a lot of frosting, you get it here. I myself don't do a lot of frosting, but I know most people do like it. I am that person who scraps off frosting from cupcakes and Cake, but Miss Kitty's frosting combined with the cake was sublime. Ain't gonna lie, I did take come off :-) Still delicious AF. This weekend Miss Kitty made donuts: Cinnamon sugar apple cider, Carmel apple cider, Strawberry Dreams, Pumpkin Spice, "Fun size " candy bars: coconut chocolate almond (With nuts or without ) and snickers not snickers, Classic vanilla/chocolate Halloween theme I am not a pumpkin girl, so Miss Kitty was nice enough to swap them out for the coconut chocolate almond donuts. I am a sucker for chocolate and coconut and the thought of eating an Almond Joy cake donut was too much for me. These are supposed to be for a birthday celebration tonight, but I had to try the coconut chocolate almond one. Yeah that was so good, so so good. I am trying not to eat another one...good luck with that. Miss Kitty is operating out of her home, but takes orders and delivers to your home. Check out her Facebook page to see what tasty treats she is offering and place an order today. Years from now, when she is a multi-million $$$ donut queen, I will be able to say I knew her when she was dropping off donuts and cakes to me.
