Better than usual ice cream in Aurora. Charlie's is located on Stolp Island in a former factory…read morelocation. It has kind of a limited selection but the flavors are more exotic than typical. Has okay prices even though it's premium and small batch. They also have a few sorbets but it's random. A bad thing is the ever changing hours. It's hard to know when they're open. They're open longer in summers. As expected. It's about $5 to get a scoop. Has an okay amount of flavors to choose. There's not a whole lot but it's still an okay amount for a smaller locally owned place. A few non dairy sorbets are among the rotating flavors. Last time they had the Pink Grapefruit Sorbet. Had the sourness and sweetness of the fruit prepared with sugar on it. There's also other flavors such as espresso and tangerine. For sure it's a great idea to call ahead before going. It's got a bunch of flavors and they change these random times. They're usually closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

I already cannot wait to come back. I had friends raving about this place. They grew up going here…read moreas a kid to celebrate anything and everything and with the weather warming, up I finally gave it a try. They have everything: milkshakes, blizzards, cones, treats, etc. I kept it simple and had a strawberry-vanilla twist cone. I've never seen that twist flavor anywhere else! It was good but honestly nothing different from Dairy Queen but Banana Split isn't just about the ice cream. It's about the old-time experience of walking up to a window, placing your order, and sitting in the parking lot or park across the street to eat it. So nostalgic. Excited to come back and try some of their other treats!

It's a great ice cream shop, the choices are vast, very vast. Much more than another shop near me! So much to choose from, many types of options, and great variety and selection of flavors!!! I still second the Cherry Vanilla. It's pricey, but a 5 out of 5 ice cream shop. Please try it!!

This used to be one of our go-to spots for a sweet treat more than twice a week, and we genuinely…read moreenjoyed coming here. Every visit, when the payment system was presented, I would leave a little tip because I appreciated the service. Unfortunately, that changed after one visit. We wanted to split a cup, so we simply asked for an extra cup. We were told there by a girl there would be a $1 charge for the additional cup. I refused because, honestly, charging a dollar just to provide an extra cup felt ridiculous. Then we asked for just a small plastic cup and were told that would also be $1. At that point, I thought, "Why don't you use the tip I just gave you to cover it?" I could understand $.10-.20 Maxx but $1!!!! It's about the principle and how you make customers feel. If the goal is to make up for the economy by over--charging repeat customers for every little thing, remember that customers are dealing with the economy too. There are reasonable ways to cut costs without nickel-and-diming your regular customers. The attitude by this girl is not the greatest to start with. After being a customer more than twice a week, this experience was enough for us to take our business elsewhere. You don't keep loyal customers by making them feel like they're being over--charged for every little thing. Nothing lasts forever, especially if treated like this! The service at this location absolutely needs improvement!

This place doesn't just have the best Mexican ice cream in Aurora, it also happens to be cleaner…read moreand sports better, friendlier service too. Like most Mexican ice cream shops, they offer an assortment of savory snacks, and fruity treats, but this is going to be all about the ice cream. The first thing to note is that there is two kinds of ice cream (nieve), ice cream you scoop (helado) and ice cream bars (paletas); both come in two types, those made with cream (de leche) and those made without (de agua). The cream based type--being closer to a gelato--is richer and denser than American ice cream, the flavors are fresher and more intense, and in particular the fruit flavors tend to be sweet/fruity as opposed to sugary; the 'water' type is basically a sorbet, and I think people would be surprised by how smooth and creamy the texture can be, though it shouldn't be surprising that an ice-no-cream is incredibly refreshing. Both kinds and types of nieve exist at all Mexican ice cream shops, but they do almost everything here better, and I particularly like that the cream based kind is richer and denser here even in comparison to the other Mexican brands, and is one of the reasons I think of it as 'better'. The paletas, which--again--come in two types are great as long as you stick to the cream-based type, but I wouldn't recommend the water-based type--they're essentially a frozen block of fresh fruit--not good; for paletas de agua I would suggest the 'neveria' inside of Super Mercado El Guero, on Farnsworth, where they have the greatest strawberry paleta in the history of ice cream. Located about a half-mile or so from where Broadway/Rt. 25 merges with Aurora Ave, I literally have to pass three ice cream shops--two Mexican and one American--to get here, a trip I made at least a dozen times last summer when I first discovered this place. Thankfully we've had an ice-cream-runner recently so I've been able to enjoy this amazing ice cream without the hassle of making the trip!....but it can get expensive if you start to tally up how much you actually spend. When I go I tend to get two to four 'medium' ice creams, which is three scoops, and runs a little more than $6 (each) for what I think ends up being a little more than a pint, and I do believe that it is worth every last delicious penny. If you compare flavors amongst the different Mexican ice cream shops, you're going to find that the ones here will win almost every time, if not every time. Of course everyone has their own flavor preferences, but here's a few things that I would like to mention: Helado de Fresa con Crema (Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream), swirled strawberry sorbet and rich ice cream--only place I've ever seen it. Helado de Pina y Coco (Pineapple and Coconut), a pretty common flavor--and one of my favorites--the flavor is just so much better here, and its got what seems like double the amount of pineapple and shredded coconut. However, if you don't like masticating coconut like a cow chews cud, then steer away and head for the plain pineapple. Helado de Pinon (Pine Nut Ice Cream), a pretty uncommon flavor--or at least it was, I hear it isn't anymore--cream-based, interesting and surprisingly aromatic, a little of this goes a long way for me, and I usually get a small (which is two scoops), half pinon and half vanilla, chocolate, or cheese/queso (tryt it!!). Helado de Fresa de Agua (Strawberry Sorbet), tart and sweet, it just tastes so damn good. Light and refreshing, it's perfect to have under the heat of the midday sun. Helado de Chocolate (come on), if you know anything about or like Mexican chocolate then it's simply a must-try. AND FINALLY, ONE OF THE TOP TEN REASONS I HAVE TO LIVE: Helado/Paleta de Chongo Zamorano (ehhh....) Cream-based, when I first tried it I didn't know what it was and when my mom told me I still wasn't entirely sure, but I was in love after the first bite. Listen, I know it's not going to sound very appetizing, and probably something you would have an aversion to trying, but it's absolutely the one thing I recommend above all else that a person should try. It's caramelized and spiced milk curds. Anyway there you go. I really feel that anyone who loves ice cream and trying new things, or who loves Mexican ice cream and isn't near any 'Michoacana' franchise, and lives within thirty minutes or so of this place should make it a point to try this place. A few things to note: there is ample space, tables, and chairs within the building, ideal for enjoying your ice cream ASAP, like most Mexican ice shops the busy hour starts an hour to two hours before sunset, and though I still wouldn't say it's run terribly efficiently, it is run more efficiently than it's competition--but this is only important if you come at a busy time. If you do come at a busier time, the line 'begins' at the counter near the entrance farther from the road--where a tiny sign tells you so. TRY IT!

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.
