The place is in an odd spot. You have to go through a door, past an elevator and that was a bit…read moreconfusing but not really the owner's fault cause that's just where it's located. When I walked in it was clean and lit nicely. Plenty of variety with the items. The mint lemonade I ordered was really good. I had never had something like that before and thoroughly enjoyed! For drinks, a choice between regular and large. Pictured is the large, and to be honest it's not exactly that big but I think my expectations are hindered by fast food places like Wendy's that sell a cup the size of a barrel labeling it a large. Plus, no ice added in so it's all drink. The drink total was $8.72, that is with a tip though. Of course tipping is always optional but I always feel nervous not to tip. Im not sure why I did because all he did was fill a cup with the drink that was in the mixer. But yknow lol not his fault. Solid place and friendly guy.

Found this ice cream place in Elgin. It may look kind of haphazard but it has some good products…read more Stop N Dip is kind of set up weird. Has quite a few things to choose from. There's some quite unusual flavors so you can come back a few times. Coming here the first time it was kind of confusing. It's located on one side of the entrance. There's a bit of a passage to get through. Has mostly gelatos. There's also a few sorbets at times. It's about $5 a scoop, but there's much more than just bowls and cones. They make milkshakes and even have hot and iced coffee including Turkish. Crepes are one of the main items. These are filled with chocolate, Nutella, or basically whatever. Also they have dip sticks, which is fruit on skewers dipped in chocolate. They also make lava cake and other big items. Got a lot of sweet stuff to both drink and eat. It's located on Douglas close to Highland. There's a lot of more unusual flavors, along with more common ones, so it has a pretty big variety.

Fanny's has an Elgin & St Charles location. I visited the Elgin location with my husband for an…read moreevening treat. The inside was smaller but very clean. Parking was a bit difficult in this part of town. They had an ordering kiosk but one could ring a bell for someone to come over if you'd prefer to pay cash. They offer a variety of topping styles on top of their classic rolled ice cream. The ice cream itself is condensed milk placed on a frozen plate that gets neatly spread out to freeze into its ice cream state. The workers then roll it up and place into a bowl before adding your toppings. It was fun to see and delicious to eat. The ice cream flavors tend to be straight forward chocolate or vanilla since it comes from the condensed milk. Either way, the experience is fun and this is a cute shop.

It's worth the buzz/craze. Solid A

It helps that they have a reward system in their app lol Sometimes they will have offers like a free cone and recently for the summer they had floaties for $3 every Tuesdays. My go to order is butter pecan concrete with butterscotch. Sweet, and creamy. I like that it's still thick and not blended too much like a smoothie. They put enough that there's always a pecan in every bite :) The cannoli thunder is another good one too but I think that was limited/seasonal. Service is pretty fast. I've always gone through the drive through. Most of the time there's a line but it's worth the little wait for fresh quality custard. They also have merch. So you know I have to represent and get a sweater. Because the winter will not stop me from getting my favorite custard! Don't forget to download the app and check in to earn points!

Basically you fill your cup up with your creation and it is weighted for purchase. I price is $0.71 per ounce. There are 14 different flavors of froyo to choose from and a generous variety of toppings to pick from. The machines are self serve and the middle handle will swirl the two flavors of that machine if you wish. It's sugar everywhere! Diabetics please don't hurt yourself in here. The kids love it here as I saw many rotate in and out during my short visit. I had pineapple and peach sorbet. It was so sweet, tangy, and flavorful. This is definitely the spot to satisfy any sweet cravings. I am going to come back especially when the weather is warmer. This location has a lot of support for the community especially the children, so please come by and show support.

Had some better than expected Chinese food in Elgin. It looks like a dump from the outside, but…read morerest easy because it looks like a dump on the inside. Gee N Jay's is one of the cheap Americanized Chinese classics. Only has orders to go. The majority of customers wouldn't want to eat inside thankfully. Found out about this after going past it a few times and after that we got curious. It's a pretty crappy looking building that even has a drive thru if you can believe it. This certainly isn't authentic stuff. A typical place with the big pictures of the entrees. They only had a few listed. Also has kiosks. These had the full menu though. It's about $13 for an entree. There's a few okay for vegetarians. I got the Kung Pao Tofu. This is a pretty standard version. Has a pretty good hotness. There's mostly tofu along with a few pieces of baby corn and peppers. Great place to get takeout, because that's the only option of course. It's located on Dundee at Page. They close pretty early in the evenings, and they're closed on Wednesdays.

The chicken was deliciously cooked and seasoned. Orange chicken and General Tso's are advertised as spicy but it does not have a crazy spicy kick at all. The shrimp fried rice was delicious I would definitely order that as its own side in the future. Wontons were boiled and filled with beef and veggies. The platter comes with an egg roll and drink. They also sell desserts like Ice cream, chocolate covered bananas, and funnel cakes! They did ask for payment over the phone which they apparently do after 7pm as they close at 8. Small location located right by los Cómales Elgin. More of a take out spot as it is super small and parking is very limited. Will go back for the jalapeño chicken platter and also family style order of a myriad of items.
