Better than usual ice cream in Aurora. Charlie's is located on Stolp Island in a former factory…read morelocation. It has kind of a limited selection but the flavors are more exotic than typical. Has okay prices even though it's premium and small batch. They also have a few sorbets but it's random. A bad thing is the ever changing hours. It's hard to know when they're open. They're open longer in summers. As expected. It's about $5 to get a scoop. Has an okay amount of flavors to choose. There's not a whole lot but it's still an okay amount for a smaller locally owned place. A few non dairy sorbets are among the rotating flavors. Last time they had the Pink Grapefruit Sorbet. Had the sourness and sweetness of the fruit prepared with sugar on it. There's also other flavors such as espresso and tangerine. For sure it's a great idea to call ahead before going. It's got a bunch of flavors and they change these random times. They're usually closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

It was good but honestly nothing different from Dairy Queen but Banana Split isn't just about the ice cream. It's about the old-time experience of walking up to a window, placing your order, and sitting in the parking lot or park across the street to eat it. So nostalgic. Excited to come back and try some of their other treats!

Every visit, when the payment system was presented, I would leave a little tip because I appreciated the service. Unfortunately, that changed after one visit. We wanted to split a cup, so we simply asked for an extra cup. We were told there by a girl there would be a $1 charge for the additional cup. I refused because, honestly, charging a dollar just to provide an extra cup felt ridiculous. Then we asked for just a small plastic cup and were told that would also be $1. At that point, I thought, "Why don't you use the tip I just gave you to cover it?" I could understand $.10-.20 Maxx but $1!!!! It's about the principle and how you make customers feel. If the goal is to make up for the economy by over--charging repeat customers for every little thing, remember that customers are dealing with the economy too. There are reasonable ways to cut costs without nickel-and-diming your regular customers. The attitude by this girl is not the greatest to start with. After being a customer more than twice a week, this experience was enough for us to take our business elsewhere. You don't keep loyal customers by making them feel like they're being over--charged for every little thing. Nothing lasts forever, especially if treated like this! The service at this location absolutely needs improvement!

Price was surprisingly good for the amount we got. My DH loved the shake. I thought the sundae was good, but OMG that grape slushie was the best thing I've had in ages! I'm going back just for that! I don't even like slushies usually. Think the last time I had one was in Kmart when I was in high school. My only complaint was the stupid people who thought revving their suped up cars and motorcycles in front of the place was the height of entertainment. I know the store can't do anything about that but it was very annoying.

Each and every location features plentiful parking, a social media worthy interior, comfortable elegant seating, and quality desserts that consistently delight everyone who has the opportunity to try them. On my visit here, I tried a different set of items from my Schaumburg visit to test the consistency of quality across different flavor profiles and dessert types, and it delivered perfectly. The mango gelato here is incredible -- with probably the strongest mango flavor I've ever had in a gelato. The Lotus was an elevated version of one of my favorite biscuits. The gelato is incredible, creamy and flavorful -- and something I'd happily serve with most any dessert. The waffle was flavorful as usual which paired perfectly with the chocolate mix. I also wanted to try My Passion to get a mix of different fruits -- as I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh the fruit was at the other location. This was equally as great, with fruit presented at the perfect ripeness. Extra kudos to the kiwi which wasn't sour at all, and in fact was one of the first items to be finished completely. The pineapple was also super juicy, sweet, and flavorful. I wish we'd gotten more eclairs, as the filling was super delicious. Maybe the weakest item in this dish was the brownie, which was only good -- while everything else we'd tried was great to amazing. Overall, worth a special trip for any dessert lover. This business consistently delivers top notch dishes at very reasonable prices.

The offer of ice cream was a reward to my daughter and I am glad we tried to the ice cream. The location was easy to find. There is plenty of areas to park nearby if you don't get the most direct parking lot. The menu does have a lot of not-your-typical flavors. For an after dinner ice cream, I got the Zanzibar which they said was chocolate but tastes like fudge brownie for my daughter and I. There was no false advertisement. It was rich, decadent, and it tasted like a brownie. My wife got the Grasshopper sundae. She thought it was delicious especially since it came with Andys mint chunks. This is a lovely place next to the river. They have a lot of places to sit and even a few picnic tables. However, sitting by the river and watching the river is always another option. Overall, I am glad I went to this place and I will be back in the future.
