It's never too cold for ice cream in Illinois! This use to be Uncle Harry's and I was sad when it closed, but Uncle Harry still technically helps out. Which means we still get all the delicious ice cream that was once Uncle Harry's. I've been with my spouse for over 15+ years and he is a die hard Baskin Robbins mint chocolate chip guy. We always had a pint in the freezer. Fast forward over a decade later and it has been swapped out for Flavor Frenzy's cappuccino chip. YUM-MEEEEE. Maybe because I was never a coffee drinker before, but now that I do indulge in a cup a day I am in love with the cappuccino chip. Not over powering with coffee flavor, just the right balance. I also love their strawberry and wish they would make a simple coconut ice cream (not coco-pina). It might be 30 degrees out but there's always room for ice cream! read more

Yeah, ice cream was delicious. The servings were large. Although when I first got there, the flavor I was after was already out, but never fair. I was able to find another one that was just as good. read more

My son and I decided to stop here today and partake in some ice cream on this warm day! One of the best choices we made! The owner is a beautiful spirit and gladly made our orders with love ! I ordered a traditional banana split and my son a shake! The atmosphere was welcoming, he helped in our ordering process and patiently did so .. I tried leaving a tip but he wasn't having it lol! Definitely recommend oh did I mention they have Italian ices!!! I even saw horchata flavor amongst others!!!! You will not be disappointed go check them out!!!! So many flavors to choose from and pre packed ice cream as well!!! read more

Flavor Frenzy is a classic ice cream shop tucked into one of the main strips in Addison. The atmosphere is fun and the employees are quick and nice! The ice cream is really good too, I have yet to have a bad flavor. It is also fresh and doesn't taste like it's been sitting there all day, and doesn't taste like the fridge they have it in as I've noticed at some other shops. Love this place! read more

Since I had gotten GrubHub for free with my Amazon Prime membership, I thought I would order a couple of ice cream Sundaes. Sundaes were very good, but I thought the $12.95 price on each one was a little excessive. I checked their website and found the price for each listed at $8.95. I understand that businesses have to recoup fees that delivery services charge, but this is almost a 50% up charge. I found out from their website that they offer delivery through ChowNow, and those orders have the $8.95 pricing. My first time ordering from Flavor Frenzy. It'll probably be my last. Don't appreciate unfair business practices. read more

I wish I wasn't in such a frenzy, but I am. And the more times I stopped in this friendly, locally owned ice cream shop, the more frenzied I became. This shop used to be the former Uncle Harry's which I never had the pleasure of visiting probably because my ice cream cravings didn't develop until this past summer. I know you're thinking, 'really..who are you kidding' but I speak the truth. I rarely ate the stuff...and now that summer has turned into winter, I'm still goin strong. Good selection of flavors (yes, everything is made in house) about half the amount of Baskin Robbins (I didn't count). Non-dairy Italian ice (seasonal only), waffle cones, ice cream cakes & pies, even a coffee bar. I've tried around 5 including 2 Italian ice. I found some flavors to be better than others. Currently, I am totally frenzified on their Apple Pie, in fact I even bought a pint all for myself. Ooomyflavorfrenzy, if you're a lover of apple pie, this is a MUST try. It might even be better than a slice. Bits of apple, graham cracker & hints of cinnamon heavily swirled in a most flavorful vanilla. This is PACKED with all things apple pie. One of the best here. Birthday Cake was my favorite until Apple pie came along. Bursting with flavor. Superman is good & I especially dig the colors, but it's not as frenzalicious as the other two. Rainbow sherbet is delish. I hadn't had this since I was a tadpole I think. Really creamy and fruity. If you're unsure of your flavor, they'll happily give you a taste. They were testing Chocolate Italian ice on one of our visits and I have to give them props on this. They nailed the chocolately flavor. Hope they bring this back. Lemon ice was solid and worth getting again. I love that when I grab my ice cream out of the freezer it remains creamy and not a frozen block that I risk spraining my wrist on just to reap a measly sliver...I taste quality here. So much so that half of my pint is already gone. Prices are so reasonable, it's easy to take home two pints. Really welcoming vibe. In fact, once a week during Halloween they get their spook on with festive lights, music and ghoulish decorations. How cool is that? I'm not sure anyone would be disappointed stopping in here and heck, Portillo's is just steps away so after you gorge on your beef & dog, keep the frenzy going with a sweet, creamy treat. read more

Outstanding old school service and delicious ice cream! Always a treat and great atmosphere!! Owner is wonderful kind person.

Just opened May 1st. Cute ice cream parlor with housemade Italian Ice. (Dairy Free Option) They have cakes, cupcakes and other desserts. 24 ice cream flavors and 8 Italian Ices to choose from. Friendly owner and staff who will offer you a sample of any flavor. I tried 4 and enjoyed the strawberry-lemon and pina colada Italian Ice. There were lots of pineapple chunks, very refreshing. If you're in the area, give them a try, I know I will again. read more

What a great addition to Addison! I really like their flavors. They seem to be unique. My favorite so far is the raspberry chocolate chip. The Italian ice is pretty good as well. I personally didn't try it, but my kids did. Employees and owner seem really nice. Glad we have this in the neighborhood. read more

Remember Uncle Harry's? (the REAL Uncle Harry's)... It's back!!! Well, kinda-sorta. Close enough, as far as I'm concerned. Maybe even better? Time will tell. The owner (Steve) of Flavor Frenzy has collaborated with the previous owner of Uncle Harry's (before it took a turn for the worse in late 2018 under new ownership) and now Addison has the ice cream shop it deserves. You'll find many of the original, beloved concepts, such as the Vito Special and the Kenny Special, alongside favorite ice cream flavors, new sundaes, and a good selection of Italian ices. You can still get great tasting lattes, too. Lief and his wife have been working there to get everyone up to speed, so it has much of the feel of the original ice cream spot that people remember. But there have been some upgrades, too. Besides the new name, you'll see the face of the new owner there. He's working hard to make sure everything is going well and that people are happy. He's also upgraded the inside, so now it's bright and modern, but still whimsical and welcoming. I hope to see Flavor Frenzy stick around for many more years so I don't have to drive 20+ minutes for really good ice cream. read more

Was Christmas ruined? Planned on making a wonderful dessert for Christmas day for the family. Did not read the recipe completely until Christmas morning and found we did not have the springform pan needed. Plan B, make a different familiar recipe, just needed one ingredient. Could not find any place open that sold springform pans or the one ingredient for the other recipe. I made an emergency post on an Addison Facebook group. Flavor Frenzy saw the post and said they would drive the 30 minutes to Addison to open for 1/2 and hour for me and anyone else that needed a last minute dessert. Not only did I get a wonderful dessert, but I was also told I could borrow their springform pan!! Now THAT is customer service!! Christmas was saved!!! read more

Cheery and bright. Exceptionally clean. Tasty flavors. Very pleasant young lady who actually thanked me for my tip! Where does THAT happen?? I brought my 86 year old, ice-cream-loving dad there on a whim. We will definitely go back there. Thanks, FF. read more

Stopped in for the first time and wow was I impressed with the whole experience. The ice cream was fantastic and the workers were all so nice. You have to visit this shop! read more

You can pretty much say this is uncle harry's 2.0 We were regulars at the old shop and we were surprised/excited to see they have the same ice cream and almost the same menu. I found out the new owners are being taught the ways of uncle Harry's by uncle harry himself! Although I'm super excited about my favorite ice cream back I hope the new owners are as pleasant and interactive the old ones were! My family loves supporting local family businesses! read more

Would never go back. Service is HORRIBLE! 2 stars because ice cream was decent. Went here on a double date with friends. Found "Uncle Harry's" on Google with great reviews. Addison was a half way meeting point for all of us, coming from about 40 minutes away so we had no idea it wasn't Uncle Harry's anymore. The place looks nice and has decent ice cream. The shop was clean and bright. The service was some of the worst I've ever experienced at an ice cream shop. People go to ice cream shops for fun and happiness. The experience you create when customers walk through the doors has a lot to do with it. From the moment we walked in, the staff was about as dreary as a rainy day - didn't match the decor of the shop at all. They almost looked mad we were there. No one welcomed us or spoke to us. They just sat there and stared at us. There were 4 of them, and I'm assuming the older man and woman are the owners. They were obviously setting the example for the employees because they were just as dreary and unfriendly. There's a sign on the wall about happiness but the workers didn't resemble happiness for even a moment. They looked like they were in prison, forced to be there and were angry we'd come in just before closing after everything was cleaned up. In reality we came in several hours before closing time. We had just eaten dinner out and were having a good time, laughing and joking. When we walked in, my friend said "First-timers!" To let them know we've never been here before. They didn't even acknowledge him. We would ask questions. They wouldn't even answer or would barely answer giving the shortest possible factual explanation - not happy you asked and wanting to sell you on how good it is. Then the guy rang up all four ice cream cones on the same bill and charged my friends for our ice cream! He never even asked if this was all together or separate. It's pretty obvious we are two couples coming in that would each pay for their own. I'd never go back here just because I don't want to feel like I'm nothing the owners while purchasing their ice cream. read more
