You can't really go with cookie dough on top of ice cream. I thought the ice cream itself was ordinary. Nothing special. I really came here for the cookie dough. They have several unique flavors of cookie dough and my favorite was oreo! Warning: it's really sweet and can be a lot, so I recommend being moderate with portions. The servers were really nice and let us try samples!! read more

Cookie Dough Creations will turn non-dessert lovers into straight up sugar fiends. It's so so so good, but incredibly rich. If you are one of those people that automatically order the largest size of everything, I'd still recommend ordering the small. I could only eat about half of my small and I have the biggest sweet tooth ever. It made me sad to throw it away. The prices aren't cheap, but it's worth the (money AND calorie) splurge every once in awhile. I believe it was about $10 for two smalls. I ordered the m&m cookie dough with birthday cake ice cream. I'm not that into chocolate or even m&m's but I do like M&M cookie dough for some reason. It was a winning combination. The biggest downside is that they're so busy and there's not much space. Most people opted to go eat outside--even though it was January. The two nice guys working the counter didn't have time to clean the few tables they did have so the tables were pretty sticky, but I couldn't possibly complain because they were working so hard to serve everyone. This is a great place and I'll be back as soon as I recover from the sugar coma. read more

I loved the whole combo. I would definitely get a medium. I recommend cookies and cream ice cream with m and m cookie dough combo!!! So delicious and walking around Naperville with it was a blast you'll want to get the whole place because it's addictive. The combo is the thing to get just remember. So go to cookie Dough Creations and don't go to crazy but just a smidge. read more

If you're like me, you spent a lot of time chasing your mama's apron as a child, hoping to get a lick (or, let's be real: half the bowl) of her made-from-scratch chocolate chip cookie dough. Gooey, thick, sweet, salty and kissed with brown sugar... oh, and all that raw egg! Maybe not the BEST idea. So Cookie Dough Creations had the brilliant idea to create a product which tastes just like mom's, but without the creepy raw egg factor. Why didn't I think of that? I tried peanut butter, cake batter, chocolate chip and turtle. Verdict? Though cake batter and turtle were tasty, both bordered on the too sweet and sticky for me. The peanut butter combined the best of the sweet and salty worlds and the chocolate chip was the clear winner. I went home with all four... it was a bad week, okay? A bad week turned good! read more

Cookie Dough Creations is heaven on earth. From the adorable shop (love the updated screens by the way) to the pleasant workers, to their amazing treats. I have had ever flavor of cookie dough they sell. My favorites are the CHOCOLATE CHIP- solid, basic flavor, OREO, which if you like oreos you will love this oreo PACKED cookie dough, and CAKE BATTER, tastes like sugar cookie dough with amazing white chocolate cake flavored chunks. Not only do they sell eggless cookie dough but they also have ice cream, shakes and cookies. If you like any of these you need to come and check this place out. I can't say enough good things about this shop. read more

I love this place so much! It's about 30 minutes away from me, but the drive is worth it. Super yummy cookie dough (my favorite is cake batter) and I feel like the price is fair/comparable to an ice cream shop. I usually order a mini and it is plenty! Nice workers, too! read more

OMG! So I went here for the first time a few weeks ago, and just went back with a former co-worker of mine. So if you like ice cream, especially cookie dough ice cream you will love this place. no, wait. Forget that. Have you ever been hungry, depressed, bored or just in the mood for cookies - but in the process of making them, you lick the spoon or the bowl - or you say fu*k the cookies and just eat the raw dough? Well imagine a bowl of dough that won't make you sick, is delicious, and healthy....... maybe not healthy, but it's amazing. Go there - eat some, and you'll be happy read more

My boyfriend and I were in downtown Naperville yesterday, and for the first time in many months, I felt like something sweet and DID NOT suggest we go to Red Mango. I immediately regretted it, of course, but then reasoned that maybe I SHOULD try something new once in awhile. Builds character and such. And after all, Cookie Dough Creations is practically a Naperville institution; it's kind of criminal that I'd never been there in all my years living in town. They have a lot of yummy-looking ice cream flavors, so it was hard to settle on just one! I ended up getting the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, which was super-rich and creamy and delicious, and my boyfriend went with Moose Tracks. Since we'd never been there before, we weren't entirely sure how cookie dough entered into it. The helpful guy behind the counter told us that we could add a big ole scoop of cookie dough as a topping. AS A TOPPING. I went for it. They have a bunch of different types of cookie dough, too, making for an endless amount of potential flavor combinations: chocolate chip, peanut butter chocolate chip, fudge brownie, M&M, sugar cookie, and a couple more that I'm forgetting. (Oh, and no worries, none of them contain any raw eggs - you can stave off that pesky salmonella poisoning one more day.) I opted for the classic chocolate chip cookie dough atop my Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream, making my rich, sugary treat even richer and sugarier. My boyfriend ended up taking half the cookie dough off my cup and putting into his, since it was really too much for me. And, as good as it was, it was kind of difficult to eat. Also, the small was way too big - I could only eat half of it, and I have a big appetite! I wish they offered something smaller than their "small" size. Cookie Dough Creations is A-OK in my book, but it will send you into a major sugar coma! read more

Oh summer, how you've gone by, and oops...I forgot all about my one visit to Cookie Dough Creations. So I'll tell you about it now: You can get cookie dough, ice cream, or both. And the menu is really confusing. If I'm in a short line, like I was, I want to be able to read the menu quickly. I had some trouble deciphering what was cookie dough, what was ice cream, and what I was supposed to choose here? The employees were impatient and unfriendly. So I ordered quickly, a brownie cookie dough and an ice cream with coconut in it. I ended up with a heap of dessert, which I can't complain about, but even looking back...I'm confused. It was okay. A little rich. Worth trying once for a date with your SO or friends. I think Dairy Queen is better (and cheaper!). In downtown Naperville for dessert, I'd rather check out Gelati or Sugar Monkey Cupcakes. And I'm sure there's another ice cream option in the immediate area... read more

Edible cookie dough! What?!!! ALL types of flavors! What!!?? Five stars even though they changed their ice cream to some lower quality one. I just get the cookie dough itself read more

I'm on a diet. And when I'm on a diet, I want--no, I NEED--only one thing to survive: ice cream. Go figure, right? This is probably why I SUCK at diets. But I digress... So yesterday, the fam and I took a ride to Naperville to run a few errands. Lo and behold, all three kids fell asleep (two three year olds and a 5 month old) and I spotted this gem and pounced. My husband ran in and ordered on my behalf; he came out with a brownie-topped cup of mint chocolate chip for himself, and straight up cookie dough over vanilla for yours truly. I pause here to say WTF. Not only is the concept amazing, the product was even MORE amazing than said concept. I mean, really? I expected it to be, I don't know, sub par, maybe? Overkill? Lackluster? Wrong, wrong, wrong. It is ice cold mouth sex in a cup. Take that one to the bank, babies. It is *that* good. Two small cups--which would've easily fed four people (or two greedy ones, much as we are ;)--came to less than $10.00 and the husband couldn't stop raving about how nice they were while he hemmed and hawed over his order. The cups were literally overflowing. In today's day and economy, you're lucky if you get anything to hit the halfway point of what it's promising. Oh, man. I want to go there right now. And tomorrow. And the next day. I thought about begging them to open a closer location, but I retract that statement as I can promise you I would single-handedly keep them in business. Utterly delicious. I'd give this joint a zillion stars if I could. read more

My husband and I each got a small and the portions were very generous! A huge scoop of ice cream to fill the bowl and then the cookie dough added on top (about 3-4 cookies worth of dough) it was so delicious but I wasn't able to finish mine. My husband finished his but mentioned that he should have stopped a few bites ago. read more

Cookie Dough Creations - Coffee flavored ice cream and turtle cookie dough - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

I usually saw this place as I was stumbling in or out of Peanuts Bar & Grill and said "Man I want some cookie dough!" But I finally stopped in here one day while driving down to Peanuts to fetch my credit card from the night before (oops). I was feeling a bit *blah* from the night before, and when I saw kids coming out of this joint with bowls of ice cream, I was drawn to the place like a moth to the light. The place is generally a dump inside, but I feel like a lot of ice cream places acquire this same type of feel after awhile, because they just get sticky and gross. But I digress...They really could to a lot to rejuvenate the place. But why? I mean, this place is always bumping, regardless! Why spend the money if they are going to get the business either way? When I finally made my way up to the ice cream/dough counter, I couldn't believe it. You pick out a scoop of ice cream and a scoop of cookie dough, and they pile one on top of the other in a bowl and hand it to you with a spoon! *Mind explodes* What a fantastic concept! The dough doesn't have eggs in it, so you are safe from salmonella. You can get just ice cream, just cookie dough, both in several sizes, or you can even get a scoop of cookie dough placed between two cookies and eat a COOKIE DOUGH SANDWICH. They've though of it all, folks. So why 3 stars? I think this is a really great concept and neat idea, but its just not executed very well. The high school kids behind the counter generally look very sour to be there. How can you have a frown on your face when you are handing bowls of cookie dough to people? But that's not even the issue, they could be crying while they serve me or even laughing joyfully, and I'd still have the same issues. #1: The place is cramped and a little gross. You can't see any of the ice creams or doughs until you reach the front of the line, and then its your turn to order! Talk about pressure...they should have this set up a different way. #2: It sounds delicious and all, but after maybe 3-5 bites, it just turns out to be a sugar/dairy overload. I always see people throw away less-than-half-eaten bowls of this stuff, and I'm definitely included in that bunch. The place doesn't totally suck, because I mean, if cookie dough and ice cream together are your thing, then by all means, this is the place for you! And I thought that I would be one of those people, but even a dessert-loving fool such as myself cannot handle this. I think everyone should try this place at least once, just to see. I've been there several times, and 3 stars is my final conclusion. read more

I've been past this place numerous times but never went in. What a mistake that was. Oreo cookie dough with Oreo ice cream and then another scoop of Oreo cookie dough is like have glorious fireworks in your mouth. The prices are great compared to what you get else where especially for the quality of it. Ditch your typical Dairy Queen, Baskin Robbins and Ober prices Oberweis and get something from here. You won't be disappointed. If you are get new taste buds cause the ones you have are broken. read more

I just finished my french silk topped with turtle cookie dough and that was intense. It took two days to finish. Mind you, a medium was probably too much, but it was impossible to resist. CDC carries Chocolate Shoppe ice cream which is made in WI and absolutely amazing. Not to take away from their delicious cookie dough, but you really cannot beat that ice cream. The combination is simply decadent! Service was friendly, helpful, and very warm. They offered us samples and even a break-down of the CDC "experience" and menu. The staff was all friendly and it made for a great visit. This establishment also keeps great summertime hours - open til 10 or 11 on a Sunday? Yay! Our group tried the turtle cookie dough and the cake batter. Rave reviews from everyone - especially try the cake batter with the blueberry cheesecake icecream. Wowzers! Do make sure you're hungry or have an extra stomach to pack away those large portions - they do offer a child's size if you can't handle the small. Don't miss CDC if you're in Naperville; in fact, come down just for the ice cream. read more

They are always busy, and sometimes they are not consistent with their sizes, but that's okay. They never short you, but sometimes the servings are larger than others. The kids behind the counter are always friendly and have a smile. Great place to get my favorite: Zanzibar with Raspberry Rhapsody. read more

I finally met a dessert item that I could not handle. I visited on a Saturday afternoon after having brunch in the area. I ordered a small moose tracks ice cream with some chocolate chip cookie dough on top. First of all, the service was bad. There was one employee who served a few customers before me. As she was serving another group, another employee came out from the back. He looked at me for a few minutes and we even made some eye contact, but not once did he ask me if I was ready to order. That's just bad service. Two teenage girls came in after me and he started helping them. So, I'm not sure if he just didn't think I was ready, but he could have at least greeted me and asked if I needed help. Second, I mentioned to the employee helping me that I wanted a small amount of cookie dough on top - not a huge helping. She must not have heard me because I got way more cookie dough than I wanted. I ate my ice cream down by the riverwalk and even enlisted the help of my boyfriend who unfortunately does not share my love of sweets. We ate maybe about 30% of it and threw the rest out. Oh, and it cost me $5 for it. Bottom line, I'm glad that I was able to try it, but I definitely would not get it again. I would probably just order the ice cream by itself. I wouldn't even get the cookie dough by itself because it is incredibly sweet. 2.5, but rounding up to three for an original concept that I have not seen anywhere else. read more

This place has a weird smell like an old refrigerator that was left unplugged. Four of us went in and we were not greeted, we kinda stood around confused as the 2 employees stared at us,No one bothered to explain how things worked,but we figured it out.There is a board that tries to explain things,buts its too crowded with various things, they should remove some of the stuff from that board. We all got a small and that was plenty,its a pretty nice size.The ice cream itself is not good,it lacks flavor. The ice cream with the cookie dough is a little better its like the ice cream has very little sweetness because the cookie dough is extra sweet so they balance each other out. My son said " the customer service is awful" and I agree.But,if the ice cream itself tasted better I might have returned anyway. And what is that smell,seriously? read more

Cookie Dough Creations - Small smores and turtle cookie dough.looks better than it tasted. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

It looked like the server picked up two cups from the floor and put one on the stack of cups and then went to use the next one. Forget that, who's wants to eat out of cups that were just on the floor. That's incredibly disgusting to think that any place would serve paper cups that were on the floor. It can't cost that much to just throw them away. read more

Rustic - check Inexpensive - check Genuine and NOT a sleazy chain - check Awesome service... from HIGH SCHOOL kids! - Check!!! Holy crap, this place is awesome. It's a small hole in the wall place - hard to find, but it's heaven for those that have a natural tendency to be obese. ;-) or at least want T2 diabetes. in case you missed it i'll repeat - this place is awesome. The ice ream is home made and just fantastic - the creaminess of the ice cream is unbeatable. Now lets talk cookie dough. I'm not a raw cookie dough fan most of the time. It's gritty and sometimes "eh" depending on who makes it or where it came from (store). This place has it down to a science. The service here is awesome - even though it's just HS kids (soph maybe juniors), they are customer service rock stars. The owners of the store did a great job training them. I was impressed - they really earned a tip - more than a buck or two as well. I rocked a small chocolate ice cream and m&m cookie dough. BEST choice of the evening. I was stuffed from a small - and I'm a big dude. You get what you pay for here - and that's AWESOME in a cup. GREAT family place! read more

THIS PLACE IS SOOO DELICIOUS!!! If you are having a sweet tooth this is the place you wanna go too!

For a Naperville establishment, I had expected the interior of the store to be clean, brightly lite, and colorful. Perhaps I went in on an off day, but the floor was dirty, the trashcan was overfilled, and the tables weren't clean. The kids behind the counter were friendly, prompted, and provided excellent service. I did sample a few ice creams and was not overly thrilled at the selection. All in all, left with a kids scoop of Blueberry cheesecake. Not memorable in flavor, but the price was outrageous, $4 for a kid scoop. read more

This place is a classic go-to for anyone with a sweet tooth. My two favorite things: I've cream and cookie dough. They have different and unique ice cream options and I think at least 6 cookie dough flavors. They also have a huge assortment of candy and a little game room that we play darts in. I think I try something new every time I go and always leave happy with my decision. They have sizes from mini-large. Mini is perfect, even if you get ice cream and cookie dough because they pack it in there. If you are ever wondering if you should visit this place, my answer will always be YES! read more

CDCreations might be a different type of yelp for me since I have almost no conventional retail experience year despite the dozens of visits often lasting hours. From my running free behind the counter after hours I discovered that all the cookie doughs are great and make the ultimate 3am 28 oz gutbomb when converted into a milkshake. I have no idea if this is on the menu but everyone should at least once in their lives order one having set the rest of the day aside to savor or recuperate. While I personally have no qualms about eating raw egg cookie dough, which is not the case here, the cookie dough is pretty close to authentic, like out of a tube of really great store bought. read more

What kind of ice cream would you like with your cookie dough? What a question! What a great place this is - without a doubt a decadent treat! The minute I walk into this place I can feel the pounds being packed onto my body, but I don't care because I know what kind of treat that is in store. This isn't a fancy store, just a hole in the wall, but that's ok too because you don't notice while your partaking in your sweet treat. All in all, at the end of each visit I can't wait for the next! read more

For those of you who have been reprimanded or lightly slapped on the back of the hand for eating too much raw cookie dough when you were younger (or even recently), Cookie Dough Creations is your Mom's kitchen with 100% more freedom. Though the establishment was smaller than I had imagined, the flavor options were endless and the quality was above average. Take the advice of others when they suggest a small - it is more than enough to fill you up or top off a lunch or dinner. I will certainly be back for my chocolate ice cream topped with original chocolate chip cookie dough once the weather treats us better. read more

Wow.....just, wow. If you are looking for a light, fluffy dessert: DO NOT GO HERE. If you are looking for an amazingly rich, delicious, make-you-feel-guilty dessert: THIS IS IT. They have a huge variety of safe to eat cookie dough with basically every flavor you can imagine. From there, you have your typical ice cream flavors. There are multiple sizes to choose from for your combination of dough and ice cream. You can also get ice cream or cookie dough sandwiches. I've only CDC once, but I can't wait to go back and try all the flavors. read more

It's right downtown Naperville near the river. Great idea and we love stopping there and then walking around. I woul reccommend getting the small unless you are going to share. Me and my boyfriend decided not to share so we can try different things but he thought he could handle a large. The large handled him. read more

Cookie Dough Creations - one small one large - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Ok so this place was on my lists, and I was not all that pleased I must say. I love cookie dough, I love ice cream.. I do not like rude service.. which I recieved. I must say the store it's self was rather dirty, which made myself cringe. The cookie dough was ok... even I got a stomach ache from it all, but it was not horrible. Will I go back? Most likely not, I can go to any other ice cream place with a cookie dough topping and be happier. Will I recommend anyone to go check it out? Sure will, because small buisnesses need to stay around, however, they need to keep up with cleaning and serve good products. Just because i am not a huge fan doesn't mean you won't be. Good day. read more

OK. The honest truth about this place. I don't like the cookie dough here... I think I'd rather run the risk of getting salmonella food poisoning and eating real cookie dough just because it is 1000x better than this place. The cookie dough here kind of has a weird taste IMO. HOWEVER, I do think of the ice cream is pretty damn good. Probably the best I have ever had. 1 scoop of mint avalanche please! Thanks :) read more

In theory this is amazing but in reality, it's lackluster. I love ice cream and who doesn't love a little bit of cookie dough. That is the issue, a little bit of cookie dough. When someone is making cookies, you get a spoon and take a little bit of cookie dough. Its amazing. But two or three large scoops of ice cream and then a large amount of cookie dough is just too much for me. It was okay, I didn't eat it all. I was kind of disgusted with myself after half of it. read more

This "hole in the wall" is a cookie monster's dream. The key is the desire for cookie dough. Yes, there is ice cream but it is the icing on the c(ookie)ake not the focal point. Here are a few tips and tries: First Trip: get a large bowl and have them put a little from all eight of the cookie dough. This is a perfect size for 4 people. You can have a scoop of ice cream at the bottom - killer combination! Gotta Have: Cookie Dough Milkshake. Wow! Keep it simple: chocolate chip (I do extra because I like it thicker) with vanilla ice cream. Perfect! Take Home: Cookie Dough Sandwich. I love the sugar cookie cake batter! Final Tip: there ice cream is good but don't go there solely for that or you'll wonder what all the hype is about. read more

The amount you get for the price is pretty good. You dont really need alot of the cookie dough as it is very rich. They have a bigger selection of ice cream than they do cookie dough but that comes as expected (because how many different flavors of cookie dough can you have). They have a nice remodeled soace in the back where you can sit and play any of the abundance of arcade games they have. They only thing keeping this from being five stars is that you can tell that its not made with raw egg. Obviously they have to do that but for anyone who has only had cookie dough with raw egg it tastes different. Good but not great. read more

Cookie Dough Creations - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

As a huge cookie lover whose favorite ice cream is cookie dough, I don't know how it took me so long to come here. I knew it was there but I had no idea what I was missing. Imagine a place with over a dozen homemade ice cream flavors and a variety of tubs of edible raw cookie dough. It's my dream come true. I'm the guy that eats more of the cookie dough raw than what makes it to the cooking sheet for baking. So of course for my first visit, I had just a small cup of plain brown sugar cookie dough. Now the small size was really quite generous. I could have gotten it with chocolate chips or m&m's. Other cookie dough flavors include peanut butter, s'mores, Oreo and cake batter. Now my kids did the combo of ice cream and cookie dough for a dollar more, which is totally the way to go. I did have plenty of dough to take home, so much it lasted a couple days and I used some to bake a small cookie skillet. The place also sells baked cookies and candy options. But as far as the ice cream and cookie dough goes, it is better than any competitors and no more expensive. read more

I saw Cookie Dough Creations on a tv show a long time ago. I logged it into my memory of things I need to try. Who doesn't love the flavor of raw cookie dough!? I came here and took a few flavors to go for a friend and me to try. We got the chocolate chip, peanut butter, cake batter, and M&M. It was the middle of the day and nobody else was there. I stood for a few minutes to pick out the flavors and the girl working there just waited. She didn't offer to try any of them or anything. It would have been nice to sample a little before I decided on any of them. I ended up getting four flavors but I wish I hadn't got that many. We enjoyed all of the flavors for different reasons. However, we only really needed a few bites and the flavor was too much to eat the whole thing. I ended up eating this over a week. It was good, but at the end of it all, I probably wouldn't go out of my way again. I don't live that close to Naperville and would probably go back if I was closer. read more

Oh Cookie Dough Creations, where have you been all my life?! The BF and I decided to try this place out after reading the reviews on Yelp. Its now the morning after we went and we're still talking about how good it was. We might even go back today! At Cookie Dough Creations, you pick your ice cream flavor from about 15 or 20 choices. The ice cream is Chocolate Shoppe brand, which is one of my favorites from Wisconsin. After you pick out your ice cream, you pick the cookie dough flavor from 7 or 8 choices, including chocolate chip, brown sugar, M&M, oreo, etc. Now, the dough is not small pieces like you would normally get in ice cream. Its the actual dough (sans eggs) slathered on the top of your ice cream. Its heavenly. You can even get a dough sandwich, which is two cookies with the dough in between. The other reviewers are right on that they need to have a smaller size. I couldn't finish mine, and it was the smallest. But, take the rest home because you will be craving it the next day! read more

Came here on recommendation from a friend and after all the hype that the Cookie Dough place in NYC is getting, I wanted to try edible cookie dough for myself. I got 3 small cups to try different flavors- the oreo, peanut butter, and cake batter. The oreo was the owner's recommendation and definitely a great one! By far my favorite of the 3. It had giant chunks of oreos mixed in and the cookie dough was creamy and delicious. The cake batter dough had chunks of frosting mixed in and the cookie dough was also good but a little too sweet for me. The peanut butter dough was fine, and had chocolate chips mixed in, but I was missing the extra crunch that the oreo dough had. Will definitely be coming back to try others next time I'm in the area! read more

Delicious cookie dough and unique ice cream flavors make for a nice treat. I personally love cookie dough so putting it with ice cream is kind of a no brainer... they also have a wide variety of candy at the store some that I've never seen... I thought that was kind of a fun surprise. read more

Words cannot express how excited I was to try this place. Cookie dough? Served like ice cream? Sound the harps and ready my halo, I'm goin' to heaven! Turns out heaven's a better concept than reality. A friend and I both tried two flavors each and felt they were bland (at best) and suffered from severe flavor contamination (at worst). My sugar cookie dough tasted so strongly of maraschino cherries I triple checked the label. I'm rooting for this business, it's one of the few home-grown places unique to our area, so I hope my experience was a one-time deal. Hope to try it again soon! read more

Once upon a time, before I knew I was gluten free this was one of my most favorite indulgences. Raw cookie dough? Sounds like every girl's dream to me. Now that I am GF I can still get some of the ice cream favors. I love getting a scoop and taking a stroll along the river walk. Oh summer...how I miss you. read more
