Very cute little spot! Stopped in on a whim after an event nearby and they did not disappoint. I really love that they have vegan options because honestly not a lot of places do! Will definitely come back. read more

Kimmer's Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

What a delectable little ice cream shop! (I shouldn't say little, it's definitely medium-sized, but you 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! read more

What an excuisitely, cute ice cream shop in downtown Elmhurst (right next to the Metra, even more convenien). The inside has a bright, inviting decor that feeels fun and makes you excited for ice cream!!!!! They have a variety of flavors and offer samples. The staff were quite helpful, suggesting fan favorites and letting us all sample, showing extra kindness to my young daughter. We tried the cookies and cream and the cake batter. Both were QUITE delicious, sweet and creamy. It was really hard to decide between the flavors. They also have take home containers ;0 A wonderful experience, whenever I'm in the area, I would like to come back to try some of the other flavors. read more

Who could say no to ice cream? I don't care if it's summer or winter, I'm always craving! This place is located near the tracks by downtown Elmhurst. It's easy to access, and parking is a non-issue. They have a couple chairs on the sidewalk, but it's a little too cold for that heh. Inside, it's bright and colorful. We were greeted immediately and checked in. The staff is super friendly. They have a wide array of ice cream. I chose a two scoop cup of chocolate peppermint and chocolate chip cookie dough. Delicious! Their cone options look awesome. They have plenty of seating inside. It looks like a great place to stop by while you're waiting for the train. I've never been to a Kimmers, but I highly recommend. read more

I thought I was going to an ordinary ice cream shop. Who would have taught I would fall in love with their Chocolate Sorbet. Now I need to go back for more. The service was great. She was super friendly and made recommendations and was really patient with my indecisiveness lol. Thank you! Definitely coming back! Happy eating! read more

A must try and try again spot! Kimmers has the old school feel and flavors of an ice cream spot and it's everything delicious and perfect. As soon as my fiancé and I walked in we were greeted with kind smiles by the friendly staff members. They quickly let us know they'd be happy to offer any samples before deciding on what to order. We did sample the blue moon ice cream which was not what I was expecting lol. We opted for the coffee toffee crunch instead and it is sooo good. The texture of the ice cream is creamy, light and yet filling at the same time. The toffee pieces were a bonus for the added texture. We both really enjoyed our first time here and are looking forward to coming back! read more

A small "Very Pink" ice cream shoppe located in downtown Elmhurst. They offer small batch hand crafted ice cream. All of their ice creams are made in their Wheaton location. Offering over 15 different flavors,it was hard to decide on what to try. I chose the Aztec Hot Chocolate with has a hint of spice from the chile and cayenne peppers mixed with chocolate and cinnamon ice cream. I also tried the Coffee Toffee Crunch which was Toffee ice cream,local espresso and heath bar pieces. Delish! One and two scoops available. With so many flavor choices,I have to go back! Thanks Again read more

My father recently got a power mobility device which allows him to visit shops in Elmhurst again and this is where he wanted to take us all last weekend, a big group of 9 kids and grandkids! The ice cream is amazing, so rich and creamy. The service was super, she really did a beautiful job taking and delivering 9 orders so quickly and accurately. Shop is very cute, bright pink colors, nicely accessible to folks with mobility issues, and plenty of seating for our big group. We loved every minute and we can't wait to return. PS: The 'Cookies and Cream' ice cream was some of the best I've ever had!! Thank you so much for a great memory, Kimmers! My dad loved his ice cream, too! read more

First time and definitely not the last time here. It's super cute inside and the flavors they have are very unique. They taste fresh , not like a Baskin Robins ice cream that's for sure. The girls were super friendly and asked if we wanted to try any flavors , to let them know. Warm weather is here so I will be going back very soon . read more

This place is amazing! The ice cream is absolutely delicious and there are so many flavors to choose from! The young lady at the counter- Lily- was so sweet and she helped me pick the best flavor! 10/10 would recommend and will come back again! read more

Located in downtown Elmhurst. A lot of free parking spaces. The employees were very nice. We got pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate peppermint bark, pumpkin, and Aztec hot chocolate. They have a lot more flavors than what they advertise on their website. My favorite was the chocolate peppermint bark. Great seasonal flavor for the holidays. Pumpkin cheesecake was a close second. read more

I've been sick for a few months due to some respiratory bug. I have been deprived one of my simple pleasures: ice cream! When I heard about this opportunity I had to go! I was not disappointed! It was great finding this gem! I had the opportunity to try their Salted Caramel and Mexican Mocha. The staff were really nice and recommend me some of their flavors. This is a cute place with accessible parking and space to enjoy a scoope indoors. I recommend checking out this place! read more

Overall (B+) I would have given this place an A or even an A+ if it wasn't so expensive. Was fortunate to try this place with a Yelp Elite event so I am grateful for that. The ice cream is excellent and the so was the service, but $$$. Quality (A+) It is really really excellent ice cream. I had my daughter with me so we had four different flavors and I tried an extra one also. Flavors that I normally don't get like peanut butter and strawberry were awesome. Like I liked them and I would never order those flavors and they blew me away with how good they were. Also I am not a big dessert person - but if this place was closer I may turn into one. The quality is off charts and any time I have a friend who loves ice cream I will bring them here. I am a simple person so got the chocolate and it was excellent. Service (A+) We went on a early Sunday afternoon so it was not busy. The one girl working there was extremely nice and friendly. She quickly got us our ice cream and was clearly well trained. The interior was nice and inviting. So hopefully the service is always like this. Value (C) I normally do not give our such low grades but two scoops of ice cream for $8 is expensive. I get it that the quality is really excellent and the owner has to cover a ton of costs due to the decor, quality and location but it's expensive. Taking out a family of four and dropping $32 on ice cream is going to be a tough sell. Maybe during the last couple of years and maybe the customer base in the. current location but would be surprised when the "soft landing" occurs. Again I completely understand why it would be priced so much but I would strongly recommend a price decrease to increase one and done business to repeat customers. For me it's a try once place because of cost. The quality and service are top notch. It is really really excellent ice cream. But be prepared to spend some $$$s. Definitely check it out. Maybe I am too sensitive to cost?!! read more

Thank you for having vegan ice cream. 2 out of 5 of us were vegan and we were thrilled to have options.

Thanks to Yelp I found this gem that satisfied my sweet tooth! This ice cream shop is conveniently located right off of the Elmhurst metra train station. There's limited free parking on premise. I ended up parking at the garage around the corner. They also have two other locations in the Chicagoland area in St. Charles and Wheaton. Those two locations have their own ice cream maker in house, which is pretty cool. The girl behind the counter was really friendly, efficient and personable. Samples are welcomed and encouraged here which I appreciate. She recommended their seasonal holiday flavor which is the chocolate peppermint stick, and I ended up loving that and the mint chocolate chip. She even gave me a lid for my cup since I didn't finish it. She also scooped me a pint of the chocolate peppermint stick since I wanted to take some home to share with my partner. They have so many different flavors, so the possibilities are endless, and I love how they mention on the flavor sign if it's gluten free etc. Lastly they do have a couple of chairs and tables if you want to enjoy your ice cream there. My ice cream didn't melt on a 30 minute drive home, and that says a lot about their quality. This is definitely a place I'd return to, and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a local ice cream shop with creative varieties all year round. read more

I hear this place makes their own ice cream in the Wheaton campus. Well, I had the Hazelnut Chocolate Ice Cream on a cone. Can I just say that it TASTED AMAZING!!! There was a hint of coconut, which I don't know why, but it make it taste amazing. There were chocolate chunks and I devoured every bite. Staff is friendly and it's a cute store, very clean. I found my favorite ice cream shop in Elmhurst! read more

Kimmer's Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

The shop is located right downtown elmhurst. Perfect for those evening summer strolls! The customer service is great. The people working just want to provide you with a great experience and give you some good ice cream. The treats themselves are on the pricier side, but they are really good as well. We have had sorbet and ice cream and both were really good. read more

The variety brings fun twists to the hallmarks of ice cream shoppes. Butter Salted Pecan, as an example. I ordered two scoops in a waffle cone and I swear that translated into a pint of ice cream. There was so much that I wanted it was really hard to settle. I sampled at least 5 different flavors and loved them all. The kids working the counter were great...patient with all of our sampling. The ambiance was a little bright and antiseptic for my tastes - they could have warmed up the vibe a little. But I'm a fan and will return. For sure. read more

Jaden Logan should be named scooper of the year. Always brings his A-Game when he's serving the boys.

I enjoyed Kimmer's Ice Cream. It was our first time coming and upon walking in, I was met with really cool decor! It made me think about a vintage ice cream shop. Due to COVID, we were unable to test some of the flavors. I ordered a kid's double scoop ($5.24) of the Champagne & Strawberries and White Chocolate Salty Oatmeal. First off, I want to say that Kimmer's has all my respect that all of their flavors are homemade! That's a rare find nowadays. The Strawberry Champagne was alright- I think I was missing more of that champagne flavor. I loved the White Chocolate Salty Oatmeal flavor. So much so that when we finished eating our treat in the car, we called in an order to buy the pint version of it ($8.99). We enjoyed it later that night but I will say that it tasted different. The flavor wasn't as strong. Pricing was pretty standard for an ice cream shop but portions were a tad bit on the smaller side. I will say though that purchasing the pint was a more affordable option than the double scoop. The only thing is that it doesn't taste as fresh as the scoop! I was also mildly disappointed that the service was a little lackluster. I wasn't hoping for anything crazy but as soon as we stepped in it felt as if we were disturbing the employee even though there was no one else in the shop. Everyone has rough days so there was no need to say anything but that was partially the reason why we just called in the order instead of coming back down. Overall, we enjoyed our sweet treats at Kimmer's. We'll definitely come back and I look forward to the days when COVID is over when we can try out other flavors! As always, please support local businesses! Kimmer's is one of them and they get brownie points for being homemade. read more

During normal times, we love this cute little ice cream shop. But, I've gotta say, they've done a wonderful job during this pandemic. They now have curbside pickup which is so great. Just give a call when you arrive and they'll take your order out to you. And, if there's something that you want that isn't on their website - definitely give them a call! One of my kiddos is a huge fan of ice cream cakes. What's not to love, right? Well, ice cream cakes are not on their website (ice cream pies are and their ice cream pies are awesome). But, we gave them a call and we told them what we wanted (type of cake, ice cream flavor, decorations) and they made a wonderful ice cream cake! The small is the perfect size for a family of four - with some leftovers to snack on the next day. read more

Great little neighborhood gem with homemade ice cream. I was happy to see banana ice cream which is hard to find. The service was good and the girl was very friendly and seemed very knowledgeable. It was a pretty busy for the middle of the week. It has a HAPPY DAYS meets BARBIE vibe with seating inside and a sweet pink decor. Worth the trip! Check it out!! read more

Visited Kimmer's last night, as always the girls were super nice & friendly! I love how nice & clean it always is! However, I wasn't very pleased at the small amount of milkshake I was given. I was asked if I wanted whipped cream & I said yes, but had I said no would I have gotten more milkshake in my cup or would I have just gotten a half full serving? If I'm paying almost $7 (before tip) for a milkshake I except it to be filled up correctly. read more

Kimmer's Ice Cream - Half of a Regular size Mint Chocolate Milkshake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

Good ice cream and unique fall flavors like pumpkin are very creamy. Their main place is in Wheaton and they say it's homemade. Something tastes off though it's good, it doesn't seem homemade to me and I want to see it to believe it. Tastes mass manufactured and processed lol, but still better than average ice cream. read more

Kimmer's ice cream is a great little local ice cream shop right across from the Elmhurst Train Station. They offer homemade ice cream as well as other frozen treats like birthday cakes, take home pints, and ice cream sandwiches. So far, there hasn't been a flavor that my boys and I have not liked, and we're looking forward to trying them all. If you're a mint chocolate chip fan, theirs is top notch & easily beats out the big chain on the other side of town. Be sure to check out their website for their daily specials like a free upgrade to a glitter cone for wearing sparkles on Wednesdays. read more

I saw that yet another ice cream shop has opened in the spot next to Lou Malnati's and thought that I would give it a try. I was not disappointed! Kimmers is a wonderful little shop with great ice cream and even better customer service. Lots of smiles behind the counter from the friendly staff! Give it a try and be sure to try the delightful watermelon ice cream. I will definitely go back! read more

We got an ice cream cake from Kimmer's for a family party and it was incredible. Chocolate cookie ice cream, pound cake and vanilla icing. The icing is the creamy kind that isn't overly sweet. Was a crowd pleaser. Bonus was even though my dad just walked in to buy a cake, they took the time to personalize the cake for him. read more

Kimmer's Ice Cream is my favorite place to visit when I am in the mood for homemade ice cream (almost weekly)! My favorite flavor is the parent trap with a waffle cone. If you want to skip the line, you can pick up the same flavor in a pint from their to-go freezer. The staff is very kind and accommodating. It's a great place to purchase gift cards too as a thank you gift for family and friends. read more

The first time I visited early this summer we got cones and were happy with the single scoop but sundaes last night were awful. 90% topping and whipped cream. Two inches of caramel at the bottom was crazy, too. Yet none on top? My advice to customers would be to stick with cones and to Kimmer's, you need to work on quality control. $15 for two sundaes plus tip felt like a rip off. read more

The ice cream at Kimmer's is phenomenal - at both locations... Wheaton and elmhurst. The flavors rotate frequently and all are magical. I must also wholeheartedly recommend their cakes. For the second year in a row they smacked my daughter's birthday cake out of the park. With very little direction (eg just asking them to make a purple fairy bat or a ninja), they added imagination, creativity, and flawless execution. My daughter has been ecstatic and the cakes have been an enormous hit at her parties - with kids and adults alike! Go Kimmer's! HUGE fan! This year we moved back to the city and still made the trek out to the burbs to get a cake. Can't say enough great things about the place and staff! Thanks again! read more

Had a good experience here. Went after having pizza next door. The ice cream and ambiance is amazing. I have yet to see an ice cream shop that would top the setting they have up! They have a little seating area for the kids in the corner which I thought was adorable! Also they have great customer service, will be coming back when I head to Elmhurst downtown area :) read more

The ice cream is so good! My kids always want to go there but I don't mind! The ice cream is soooooo good. Just yum!

Amazing and delicious ice cream, including unique flavors and toppings. The cups are a bit of an odd shape, so you might want to ask them to put toppings half way up for better distribution. They have lots of interesting flavors and are happy to have you taste a couple before purchase - strongly recommended! read more

I frequent this shop every week and haven't had a bad experience until today when the girl ringing me up refused my money twice because it was "crumpled " she insisted I had every bill straight and folded because it is a "petpeve" of hers. Well let me say my petpeeve is bad customer service. read more

Cute ice cream shop, but could use some work when it comes to their lack of friendly costumer service skills.
