Each and every location features plentiful parking, a social media worthy interior, comfortable elegant seating, and quality desserts that consistently delight everyone who has the opportunity to try them. On my visit here, I tried a different set of items from my Schaumburg visit to test the consistency of quality across different flavor profiles and dessert types, and it delivered perfectly. The mango gelato here is incredible -- with probably the strongest mango flavor I've ever had in a gelato. The Lotus was an elevated version of one of my favorite biscuits. The gelato is incredible, creamy and flavorful -- and something I'd happily serve with most any dessert. The waffle was flavorful as usual which paired perfectly with the chocolate mix. I also wanted to try My Passion to get a mix of different fruits -- as I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh the fruit was at the other location. This was equally as great, with fruit presented at the perfect ripeness. Extra kudos to the kiwi which wasn't sour at all, and in fact was one of the first items to be finished completely. The pineapple was also super juicy, sweet, and flavorful. I wish we'd gotten more eclairs, as the filling was super delicious. Maybe the weakest item in this dish was the brownie, which was only good -- while everything else we'd tried was great to amazing. Overall, worth a special trip for any dessert lover. This business consistently delivers top notch dishes at very reasonable prices.

Update 2/2026:, Le…read moreChocolat du Bouchard is still, after all these years, one of my favorite places to indulge in something wonderful. What began in my mind as a temple of decadent desserts has evolved beautifully. The Bistro now serves inspired French fare, Croque Monsieur and Madame, baked French onion soup, sweet and savory crêpes, and other thoughtfully prepared dishes. It's no longer just about chocolate, though let's be honest... the chocolate still reigns supreme. This time I visited with a friend and her absolutely adorable 2.5-year-old -- a tiny human with a very serious devotion to chocolate. Watching her delight in each bite might have been sweeter than the desserts themselves. Elegant, cozy, timeless. A place that manages to feel both special and familiar at once.

After finally locating our box, we discovered it only contained croissants with bacon and ham. We explained that one person in our group cannot eat pork and asked if there was any possibility of exchanging an item, especially since every other stop on the AmazeCo experience was accommodating of dietary restrictions. The response we received was simply, "That sucks," with no attempt to help or offer an alternative. The lack of customer service and professionalism really left a bad impression, especially considering the positive experiences we had everywhere else that day.

Im not sure whats goin on with all dem dere not so happy customers wit dis place. Iffin ya ask me this place was a better find than that $20 bill I left in my coveralls dat one time! Heres ma story! Me Sadie and Sally (Sadie is ma pet sheep and Sally is my pet piggy) well, we was all hankerin for sumthin sweet one Friday night after goin fishin. All three of us was way out and found dis here place in some town calt Naderville or sumthin like that. We done pulled the truck up and started drivin around this town and was kinda weirded out cause there wernt no pickups anywhere but ours. I think dem police was lookin at us kinda funny to. I was thinkin at first it was because they never seen a guy with a beard before but someone says it was prolly Sadie and Sally (Sadie is ma pet sheep and Sally is my pet piggy) ridin in the front seat. Dont know why dat would be since thats where they always ride but whatever. Well, ta make a long story short, we pulled up and saw COOKIE DOUGH CREATIONS and man did I HOOT! I love me some good cookie dough since I always forget to pay the darned gas bill and cant ever cook it anyway. Not to mention Sally always gets a bit nervous since ol Billy came over one time and turned the stove on and tried to scare her sayin he wanted some bacon...boy did I give him a woopin! Went inside of this place and it was alright. I think these other people on here must either be hittin the moonshine from one of the millions of bars down the street or some o dem der OCB people who clean all the time or are just plain snobs cause Ive seen A LOT worse spots around my little Chicago bungalow. I gots ta wrap dis up real quick since I gotta go feed the chickens but all I can say is this: THAT BIG OL SCOOP O COOKIE DOUGH ON THAT BIG OL SCOOP O DEEEELICEOUS ICE CREAM WAS BETTER THAN GRAMS APPLE PIE WHEN I USED TO STEAL IT OUTTA THE WINDOW! And thats all I gots to say about that! read more

I discovered this ice cream place through my wife and her friends and I was pleasantly surprised by this store. Mixing ice cream and cookie dough is not new, but doing it on the spot with a large selection of different flavors of cookie dough and ice cream is. You can also order your own specialized ice cream sandwich between two cookies of your choice. I really love the product, but there are two problems that you should be aware of. First, there is only minimal seating in the store itself and no space outside for more than a single bench, so plan on taking the ice cream with you to the river walk or other location. Additionally, the lines that can form on weekends and evenings can be very long, stretching outside and it is not unheard of to wait 20-30 minutes for service. Overall, I would still say this is my favorite local ice cream store, beating out Oberweis. read more

Holy Cookie Dough! This place is THE BOMB. The first time I went, I didn't really understand. Cookie Dough What? What are they doing with cookie dough that's not baking cookies? We went in to see what it was all about, it was pure curiosity, really. I had no idea that I was doomed. Oh boy. Oh. Boy. They have a ton of flavors of ice cream, and they have a bunch of different mounds of cookie dough, and you pick your ice cream and a cookie dough TOPPING. Hot fudge topping on a sundae? That's child's play! A great big hunk of cookie dough on your ice cream? Now we're talkin! I just get plain ol' vanilla ice cream with M&M cookie dough, and that right there is probably my favorite treat of all the treats in the world to choose from. I am not kidding. I actually sit at work and just think about it sometimes. See? Told you I was doomed. read more

Fantastic little place! All the different ice creams and cookie doughs are sweet and delicious and amazing. Also very cool of them to adjust the prices so you don't have to deal with coins. I would highly recommend getting the cake batter cookie dough - it's got chunks of cake and frosting! The only negative is that it's a very small place. It gets crowded quickly, so seating is limited. If you can find a table, it probably isn't clean. If it's super crowded, people lose their minds and start sitting on the steps right in front of the doorway. But, every time I go downtown Naperville, I will 100% stop here. read more
