My favorite will always be Graeter's, out of Cincinnati, since 1870. They have locations in Northbrook and Winnetka. Hard to say what is my favorite flavor, as I have been mixing it up. Staff is always helpful and polite. They also seem to keep everything very tidy.

Dairy free options? Yes, this is the spot!!…read more My favourite has always been the Choco peanut butter non dairy ice cream as i'm lactose tolerant. They keep changing their flavours weekly. There is a drive thru as well. Service can be slow on weekends. Location is very easy accessible. There are some seats to sit and eat which is nice! Overall great spot for dairy and non dairy options at Lombard

Everyone working there genuinely looks like they like working there. They're kind and give suggestions. They understate how large everything is, but that maybe a good thing so they could up sell. The negative experience for me was that I was aching for a sprinkle dipped cone. I got a large ice cream and dipped. It turns out it's hard to dip a cone that is beyond large (I was told it was going to be smaller which is why I ordered the L, but that's ok). The dude that took care of my cone tried real hard to cater to my needs, which made this a better experience, but if you grew up with a dipped cone, then you know the lively taste of a dipped cone. The flavor of the soft serve was good too, but it didn't have the smooth consistency I was looking for. It's hard to explain what I'm trying to say...it could've been smoother. I'll try this place again with a smaller cone, but everyone enjoyed their cones. You could get different varieties of dipped and sundaes. They also have hot food and I want to try that out.

Five star ice cream is worth up to one hour each way drive. So stop in but I wouldn't travel more than a few miles out of the way. It's very expensive for the quality and portion size. There's nothing wrong. I'm just really picky with ice cream with an extremely high bar. Service was fast and very kind. Their candy offerings are fun and the kids will enjoy watching them make caramel and fudge. Kilwins is probably equal to cold stone. Entertainment value. Enjoy

What a delectable little ice cream shop! (I shouldn't say little, it's definitely medium-sized, but…read moreyou catch my drift) Kimmer's is such a cute pink ice cream shop, with classic black and white tile flooring for that old timey feel. It doesn't get more local than them. With a plethora of unique ice cream flavors to pints to bring home to, they really have got all an ice cream shop needs. I especially love their Parent Trap flavor which is cookies 'n cream with peanut butter. I love that you can add toppings too like sprinkles, m&ms, chocolate chips, and much more. It's all super customizable. They also have some gluten free and dairy options which is nice. The staff has always been super friendly; it's usually a younger crowd of workers who are very personable and sweet. I always feel welcomed walking in. I've been to their Wheaton location which is a hit, too, and I do really love this Elmhurst location nestled in downtown Elmhurst. They also have unique daily specials which I saw in-store like their sparkly Wednesdays where you receive a free sparkle cone upgrade if you wear sparkly clothing. On Mondays you get double punched on your loyalty punch cards for scoops only. Super fun! You already know I'll be back. What a great ice cream shop!

What stood out the most for me was their no-dairy sherbet option--it's a great alternative if you're avoiding dairy but still want something refreshing and flavorful. The texture is smooth, and the flavors are bright and satisfying without feeling heavy. Service was quick even when they were busy, and the staff was friendly and helpful when explaining the different flavor combinations. The portions are generous, and the pricing feels fair for what you get. Overall, it's a must-visit spot in Lombard if you're in the mood for something sweet, especially if you want a dairy-free option that still tastes great.

As soon as you step into Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, you're hit--no, hugged--by the intoxicating…read morearoma of freshly made waffle cones and sugary goodness. It's like walking into a dessert dream. The air is thick with nostalgia, the kind that instantly transports you to carefree summer days and childhood joy. I ordered the waffle cone bowl with two scoops: Darkest Chocolate and Salty Caramel and let me tell you, this duo is nothing short of divine. The Darkest Chocolate is no ordinary chocolate. It's rich, bold, and almost sinful in its depth, think melted chocolate bars and midnight cocoa stirred into velvet. The texture? Silky and dense, like a frozen truffle that melts on your tongue with a whisper of bitterness that balances the sweet. Now the Salty Caramel, this was the real surprise. Buttery, golden, and complex, it hits your palate in waves: first sweet and creamy, then a punch of sea salt that makes your taste buds sit up and pay attention. The caramel is clearly slow-cooked, giving it that deep, toasty flavor with hints of vanilla and brown sugar. The waffle cone bowl was warm, crisp, and laced with cinnamon, adding just the right crunch to contrast the creaminess. The combination of hot and cold, sweet and salty, smooth and crisp was perfect. Every bite was a revelation, and I found myself closing my eyes just to savor the moment. My personal takeaway? If you're looking for more than dessert, if you want an experience this is the place. Do yourself a favor and get the waffle cone bowl. And don't be afraid to mix bold flavors. Trust me, your inner child (and your adult self) will thank you.
