    Nutella and vanilla churros
    Tim M.

    This place is located within the old Milk Pail complex, which is now a great Mexican food court and mall of small shops. You can find this place by following the signs and you can enter directly from the outside. You don't have to wander through the maze of shops to find it. Just head down the winding sidewalk near the middle of the complex and look for the blue painted storefront near the back. The churros here are fantastic. Warm, crunchy, and filled with sweet goodness. Pro tip: you can buy churros individually, just $2 each. Worth the trip!

    Great experience here today. Stopped by on my lunch break after reading great reviews in the maps. $9 got me a MASSIVE churro box that would easily feed 4 people. Highly recommend

    This WAS the Fresa Churro Sundae and the Churro Bites! 10/10 traveled from Memphis, TN to try them

    Nice little place at the entrance of the flea market. Not hard to find at all. Churros are fresh! Ice cream was yummy. The service was great and quick! 10/10

    Yum city!! I wanted more! The Churros were freshly made and they had so many options of fillings!! The coconut has the perfect sweetness! But the apple filling was a perfect addition to my churro! The Oreo coffee drink was a great combo of coffee, Oreo, ice cream and amazingness! Victor and his family were wonderful!! True hospitality!! Victor was kind enough to let my family try his new menu item... the churro sandwich. Perfect for these hot summer days!! A hidden gem in the Milk Pail. Want a better visual?

    Bakers Dozen (vanilla, Nutella, coconut cream pie)
    Wade L.

    We discovered this little gem about a year ago, and we've been customers ever since. Anytime we have friends over or are celebrating something special, we pick up the bakers dozen. And let me tell you, there's never even a crumb left!! The churros are so perfect - crunchy on the outside, soft and oozing with filling in the middle. We cannot wait to finally try the churros sundaes this summer! They almost always sell out, but call ahead and place your order for pickup! Everyone is so kind (even to a couple gringos like us)! I dare you to make it home without eating a vanilla one in your car! Can't be done!

    Plain churros.

    Really yummy crunchy treats which lots of vegan fillings listed on the menu. They were out of apple the day we visited so we got plain. Cute little seating area inside. Outside looks a bit run down but not busy and ample parking with food trucks parked out in the lot. Would eat these hot dessert again!

    Cajeta churro with vanilla ice cream and cajeta topping! One of my favs
    Dezzeray M.

    This place has the best top churros that I have ever tasted, now I give the churros a 5 star, but the costumer care and service is not welcoming or nice. You walk in without a greeting just "can I help you" I have even tried asking how thier day is going and you get the same down play energy. everyone seems dead beat and no love to what they do. I only come for the amazing churros, other than that the care and welcoming is not there from any employee. No recommendations on churros, or service of care.

    Bakers dozen churros to go! Cream cheese, Nutella, coconut, cajeta, strawberry, pineapple,and apple.

    Why has it taken me so long to try this place?? It's a little off the beaten path but easy to find. If you park in the Tianguis/Milk Pail lot, you'll see a building that looks like a red barn. Follow the sidewalk along the right side of that building, and you'll see a blue building on your left. Do yourself a favor, and go inside. I went in at noon on a Saturday, and there was no wait. I ordered a bakers dozen and told the man at the counter I'd like one of each flavor + extras of whatever he recommended. He was great, even going so far as to ask me if I'd like for him to skip the plain ones! I also ordered a champurrado. If you've never had one before, do yourself a second favor and order one. Sweet, warm, thick, and a little nutty. The building itself is super cute, and I loved admiring the holiday decor and listening to David Bowie singing "The Little Drummer Boy" on the radio while I waited for my order. Really set the tone for my weekend. The churros came quick, and when I got home I cut a couple inches from each one to make a "churro flight". There was not a dud in the batch. I had vanilla, coconut, cajeta (caramel), pineapple, cream cheese, apple, strawberry, and Nutella. Five stars all around. They even close off one end of the churro so it doesn't spill out while you eat! I'm already planning my next trip back.

    Nutella churros! So yummy and fresh.
    Amelia G.

    Best churro place in the Elgin area! These churros are authentic and made fresh. My favorite are the Nutella churros and the plain churros, they are thin warm and delicious. They also have fresh champurrado this is a Mexican thick heavy hot chocolate with pecan drink. You should try it, especially with the cold weather. The staff there is very friendly and although there is a long most of the time it is worth the wait. FYI, just be careful while eating your delicious churro with filling because once you bite it the filling come out on the other side. Be ready with napkins!

    Strawberry- Nutella churros

    Great atmosphere overall the churros had a good taste. I would personally prefer them a bit crunchier and less oily.

    Very berry churro sundae topped with lechera-filling is Nutella.
    Sabrina G.

    If you love churros then please pay them a visit!!! Such a delicious treat, guilty pleasure! Only thing that sucks is the location but it's worth it!

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.

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.

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.

I said I was still deciding. My parents were standing next to me and instead of asking them for their order she just walked away. Another employee told her we were trying to order. She waved her arms in the air to that employee and said "they don't want anything." Right in front of us and loud enough that we heard her. She looked annoyed and walked away. We then had to wait a few minutes while the other employees helped other costumer. Then when the lady saw another customer come in, she came out, ignored us and went to help them. I told her, "but we were here first (still need help with order)," and she said "somebody else will take your order." That's just disrespectful, unprofessional. The paletas are very good! However, it's a shame that the customer service, from this one employee, was so bad. A product being good is not enough to keep people coming back. Customer service is the greatest factor in the success of a business.
