Super cute little bake shop in downtown Skokie. We knew of them from the Skokie's farmer's market…read moreand was so happy to hear they opened up a bake shop. We came by and were able to try some yummy samples before we bought a few slices of cake. The Oreo overload and coconut fluff were the 2 we bought, but the sample of the carrot cake were delicious. They had a carrot Oreo in the fridge as a whole cake that I was eyeing, my 2 favorite flavors in 1. All in all, the cakes were yummy'! Can't wait to come back soon to try others.

Bonbon is a good example of a bakeshop that started off small with a stand at Skokie Farmers Market…read moreand then took a big step of having a brick and mortar shop. Bonbon specializes in hand baked, artisanal pastries, chocolates, gelato, etc. Here you'll find a nice variety of cakes, exotic chocolates, decadent pastries, and cool gelato flavors (see my photos). On my first visit to Bonbon, I got a scoop of their Buttermilk Strawberry Red Wine Spice after sampling it. It was really delicious. We were tempted to get more items but we opted to save them for a future visit. We sampled some chocolates that were placed near their chocolates display. They were good. We were impressed by the variety Bonbon had to offer. Everything is hand-made in-house and at least from the looks standpoint everything looked delicious and drool worthy. We received good service. The variety of offerings was good, their pricing was on expensive side. However, that pricing comes from the fact that their offerings are all hand-made w/ fresh ingredients and aren't mass produced. Check out Bonbon on your next visit to downtown Skokie. 4.5 stars from me.

As I'm walking into the cool, calm creamery, the smell of fresh cones evokes a powerful sense of…read morenostalgia, reminiscent of my childhood visits. Every product has retained its excellence and the parlor itself remains sparklingly intact. The level of service varies drastically; however, while I concur with some reviews lamenting the vacuous teenage employees, I'm not going after a disillusioned workforce during their earliest exposure to the service industry. Instead - shout out to the young lady Thursday morning who exceeded all expectations. In addition to being genuinely kind and polite, she went above and beyond helping me in and out of the doors. I was impressed by her positive attitude and work ethic. Hopefully this gets back to management for her commendation. It's well deserved, indeed.

The mango Italian ice was amazing, and the vanilla custard was smooth and delicious. The combination was perfect! There isn't a ton of seating inside, but there's some outdoor seating around the building. There's also a park nearby, so it's a perfect place to stop with the kids after the park. Everyone was super friendly and gave us some great recommendations. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

It's my go-to place to take friends and family from out…read moreof town and I'm excited to show them that the Midwest has ice cream that can rival anywhere in the US. It's up there with Bi-Rite in SF and McConnell's in Santa Barbara. But recently, I am incredibly disappointed because it seems like Graeter's has phenomenal ice cream, but absolutely TERRIBLE milkshakes. The milkshakes at this location are genuinely and confoundingly bad. The consistency of the "shake" is essentially just liquid. No mass or weight, no peaks or solidity. The ratio of milk to ice cream feels like 99:1. Devastating from a renown and respected brand. What a waste to use a fantastic product by basically diluting it down to flavored milk. I now know what NOT to order at one of my favorite chains and find it sad that I've found a gaping hole in the menu.
