    Stopped in here after I had some spicy chicken at Hattie B's next door. I had the dairy free banana pudding ice cream. It's soo good! Definitely get the fresh cone with it too.

    + great customer service!! Girl was so nice + as many samples as you want + unique and classic flavors with lots of mix-ins + cool vibe :) Lots of young kids hanging out in here and generally the space felt very upbeat and good for groups. Will be back :D

    Fun, unique flavors, flights, seating, free bathrooms, great for after the Cubs game! Enjoy.

    Cute location next to Wrigley field. Limited seating inside. Super clean and kept up with. For $8 bucks you get two half scoops. Back home I would have two full scoops but that's city life. Service was great.

    Best ice cream ever! Made a bold choice pairing popcorn brittle with their darkest chocolate and it did not disappoint!

    Delicious ice cream and friendly service. The popcorn brittle paired with their darkest chocolate is the best!

    Darkest Chocolate, Pistachio Macaron, 7 layer

    Grass fed high quality ice cream brand. Location is near Wrigley and provides a non alcoholic alternative to hanging out. It's beginning to look like the most wonderful time of the year, so fun and festive seasonal flavors are out and about. I requested 2 of them and my consistent goto, Darkest Chocolate. 7 Layer It's a good ice cream, but it's saltier than what I was expecting. I know a few people who enjoy salted caramel, so this would definitely be their jam. Pistachio Macaron Fantastic nutty flavor. Would get this again. The bathrooms are clean and the seating is fairly stylish and abundant. Jeni's is a premium brand that delivers an enjoyable experience.

    I love Jenis! Such unique ice cream flavors and very smooth taste. Their vegan flavors all taste too much like coconut milk to me and the prices are a bit expensive but these are my only light complaints. The ice cream is wonderful and the aesthetic is cute. For a more economic option buy a pint of their ice cream and enjoy it later!

    Jeni's to go.

    Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream was a treat after a Cub's game on a warm afternoon. The line was long and out the door, but it moved pretty quickly. I love the unique flavors and options for a bowl or cone. I prefer my ice cream in a bowl almost always, but I still love having a piece of the cone to enjoy. I also appreciate the half scoops (which were good sized) so I could mix two flavors. I liked the dark chocolate with the brown butter almond flavor. I'll be back this summer to try more combos. Very clean, individual bathrooms here for customers to use. And the servers here are super sweet, too.

    Solid place for some tasty ice cream. Went here after eating a hearty meal in Wrigleyville. The service is good. The ambiance, good. It was almost empty. Fine with me. Many flavors to choose from. Interesting how the tasting sample spoon is actual silverware, compared to other places where it never is.

    After my first cubs game, we passed Jeni's on the walk back to the car. It smells SO good walking in, you can tell they make the waffle cones fresh in store. It was well lit and very clean in the lobby. Staff were friendly and smiling and so kind! I had a scoop of bramble berry in a cone-bowl and it was so delicious. Jeni's ice cream is incredibly smooth and balanced in the sweetness. Picking a flavor was for sure the hardest part because they all sound delicious. My walk back to my car was ten-fold sweeter with my scoop and I can't wait to try a new flavor next time. Thank you for a great experience!

    This is my usual dessert spot if I'm craving for some good dessert! I just love their Texas sheet cake(dairy free) and the salted peanut butter(dairy). They have limited flavours as well !! The ambience is definitely welcoming! Highly recommend to check out this spot. They have couple of branches in Illinois.

    BEST HOT FUDGE!!!…read more Margie's has been open for over 100 years. The exterior neon signs are all from 1954 and a lot of the interior decor is original from when they first opened, including all the Tiffany lamps. You can either order to-go at the inside counter, or wait for a table. If you order to-go, you'll wait outside and they will call your number when it's ready. If you prefer to eat in, they will call your name while you wait outside. Typically the wait for a table isn't too long since it's just ice cream. I always have to get a sundae with their homemade original hot fudge. It's sooo good and served in your own gravy boat.

    My husband and I had both wanted to try this historic ice cream parlor and candy shop. The vibes…read moreare authentically vintage, with the wooden booths with individual jukeboxes (ours didn't work). There are a wide array of sundaes to choose from; I got the Margie's famous raspberry hot fudge sundae, which was so yummy; the fudge came in a little turreen on the side and the sundae itself was served in their signature clamshell dish. My husband got a chocolate chip cookie sundae, served in a big glass bowl. There are also shakes, malts, phosphates and other treats to choose from on their menu, as well as a case of homemade candies. The place isn't big and is rather crowded so we got an "eat and get out" vibe from the staff, which made me feel rushed (and who wants to hurry through ice cream?) Overall, though, Margie's has clearly been a Chicago favorite for a long time for a reason. Check them out.

They do have an elevator in the middle of the store if needed. There is a picture menu downstairs at the main entrance but it doesn't list any prices. Once you head upstairs you are immediately entering the queue to order. This line can move slowly so grab a menu (with prices listed) and spend some time reading over the sundae choices. These treats are on the pricier side for what is essentially a standard ice cream sundae and a single piece of chocolate. They also have shakes and hot cocoa but nobody in our party tried them. Most of the sundaes are hot fudge with a flavor of ice cream and a single signature Ghirardelli chocolate square. There is one non-dairy option on the menu which was unexpected yet ideal for one member of our party. The tables are all stationed along the windows so everyone can have a great view of the river as you enjoy your treats. Seating can fill up but tables were turning over fairly quickly during our visit so we were able to sit down by the time our treats were ready.

It's pretty small inside, there are only a few tables. A server comes to your table to place your order, which I feel like never happens at ice cream shops anymore! The menu is huge!

My son ordered 2 scoops of cookies n cream ice cream (with sprinkles of course) and I got moose tracks! The ice cream is the real deal.

(The fact that the joint's been around for over 100 years doesn't hurt either.) It's a small restaurant but we managed to snag a cozy table near the back. We'd already spent most of the day eating, so we decided to share the Atomic Fudge Sundae. It's a fairly enormous concoction. I found it interesting that the hot fudge was served on the side, but it's actually pretty smart because you get control how much (or how little) sauce you get. The ice cream is the highlight. It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.

And honestly, I think a stop here for all future visits to Wicker Park now rely on this condition being met! While the baked goods are where it is at, the smell alone was worth selling itself. After we got a few whiffs, we made out way to the counter and did the ole "Ill take that, and this, oh and that too..." and ended up with a wide variety of cookies, tarts, danishes and cakes. All of which were absolutely delightful! Out of our haul, the peanut butter cookie was the highlight for me, and the raspberry crumble bar was it for my partner. Everything in between was delish, but a few things definitely stood out! Service was stellar from entry to exit. They knew we were newbies, so they helped us pick the best of the best. The space is gorgeous, bright, welcoming and classic. They definitely let the baked goods be just as much a part of the decor as the actual artwork. Overall, I get it now...Mindy's was impressive in all the right ways and is certainly a staple for all Chicago trips in the future!
