It's that time of year! Great quality custard!…read more Julie Ann's has been our favorite custards since moving here since 2022. It's local and a great place to hang out. Anytime we recommend a place for dessert this is the first in mind. Service is quick and honestly the greatest concept you can wait in your car and they come to you?! Haha seems like most places are doing this but because the influx of folks and people loving this place as well I think it's a great in and out concept.

It's just mid. It's just another frozen custard shop. I don't feel like it's worth the hype that…read morepeople give it. Honestly, I like Culver's better- it's creamier. The location is so small and cramped, they need a bigger storefront. I got a brownie sundae and added bananas and it was nothing crazy. There was barely any bananas for the price they charged me extra. The hot fudge was not even "hot" and the brownie was nothing special. They offered a pint of coconut but when I asked if they had that flavor they said no. I wouldn't recommend unless it's the only place you're willing to drive to.

Growing up in Chicago, I had no shortage of great donut shops, so I'm pretty picky. Country Donuts…read morein Crystal Lake absolutely delivers. The donuts are exceptional...always fresh, soft, and some of the best you'll find anywhere. It's one of those places that keeps our family coming back. What makes it even more special is Mike. Every time we walk in, he treats our family like we're regulars. He's genuinely kind, welcoming, and always takes the time to make our kids smile. In fact, every time we leave, my kids say, "He's just so nice." Great donuts will bring you in. Great people keep you coming back. Thank you, Mike, for making Country Donuts a place our family loves.

Donuts weren't that great at all... dry but with runny icing... I would suggest not leaving them exposed to the air in baskets behind the register... I was there at 10 in the morning so it's not like it was really late like when you buy donuts at 3 o'clock .... Looks like they make donuts 24 hours a day so I'll need to try and get something fresher next time?

We ordered a half dozen churros- our favorite flavors were strawberry and vanilla. We also ordered the churro sandwich with Dulce de leche filling which was outrageous! If I'm being real, it did not even make it home!! Luckily the churros are huge and the half dozen were more than enough for dessert. Can't wait to try the churro sundae next time!

I had the strawberry one and my sister got apple which shockingly was really good because I don't like apple desserts.

And dear reader, I should have kept driving down 14 and pulled into Julie Anne's. Look, I love nostalgia and old, quaint spaces. I remember going here as a kid and I'm sure I shared a frosty concoction and cheese fries with a girl I stopped caring about a long time ago. But this soft serve came up weaker than my memories. And I got a dirt cup blitz, peak nostalgia choice, but it just tasted cold more than anything else. I kept going back for more, expecting something different, but alas. Go to Julie Anne's. Go to the freezer where they sell cakes. Grab and oops out of the bottom and have a grand dessert at half the price. Oddity of the visit: woman walking down the line of people queued up, asking if we knew of any South African people living in Crystal Lake. Huh.

Hey Crumbl, thanks for the ridiculous offer. It was as absurd as the treatment and bad cookies I already experienced.

(It is a bit pricey though) The man who took our order was very kind and welcomed us with a smile. I asked if their milk teas contain dairy- he told us that they are made with non-dairy creamer so huge plus for lactose intolerance ! We ordered the taro coconut special. It comes with Crystal boba and is topped with whipped cream and marshmallows. amazing!! It was perfectly sweet and tasted amazing! There are so many different flavors and special drinks- will definitely be back for more!

Out of curiously I searched to see if there was one in the area and found Coco Rolls. Since we were on the town, we decided to stop in and check it out before they closed. First I will say that they are located in a strip mall, but in a part of it that makes it hard to find. We drove past it a couple of times before we realized they were in a nook on a courtyard area. You do have to look to find it as you will not see it from the road easily. Upon entering we found a fun little shop. There's not a lot of seating, but I feel like most of their customers are an order and go crowd. When we entered there were no other customers, we ordered our rolled ice cream and sat at the table they had to eat. While eating others came in, but ordered and left. I had the Oreo and Nutella rolls my lady had the caramel. Both were delicious. Overall, we were pleased. I wish they were closer to where we lived, but it will be a nice occasional visit. I can't comment on the Boba as we didn't order any, but maybe next time.

The filling was descent and it warmed up nicely after being in the freezer for a while.
