    Coffee/Cafe Ice Cream

    The food is great! Something for everyone! The quick service was a bonus with the kind staff. The walls were inviting with bright colors and cute lamps! Definitely recommend for kids and adults ;)

    MUST TRY!! This is some of the best homemade ice cream around! Must haves are queso, aguacate, pinon and key lime pie!! They have some unique and taste ice cream as well as some more traditional flavors. Whatever you chose it won't disappoint! You don't want ice cream and want something savory, they also have some Mexican snacks, elote, duros, they also serve aguas frescas! It's small and seating is limited inside but it's a must try!

    What a great find! Little mom and pop ice cream joint specializing in homemade Popsicles ("paletas"), ice cream ("helado"), frozen yogurt, and fresh squeezed juices. This place was packed when I visited for the first time (a very good sign), and had a mix of clientele despite being a Mexican shop. Lots of exotic and unique (not to mention delicious!) ice cream flavors that you'll never find at the ice cream chain stores: rum raisin, coconut, cheese...along with more traditional flavors like strawberry (with giant chunks of fresh strawberry in it), caramel (wowee - it was good), and chocolate. Plus the price for a cup of ice cream was unreal: $1.25 (with tax, $1.33). And it was a very generous scoop! A "must visit" in Peoria! You will not be disappointed! Bring cash (they will accept credit cards on purchases over $5).

    Maybe I'm a little eager for summer to start.... Maybe the mood was just right.... But oh my this ice cream hits the spot. Sweet deliciousness! Somewhere it rests between a mix of gelato, European dairy and authentic Mexican cream. You made me feel like a 7 y/o kid again and stole my heart at my first lick of the nutella cone. You have your options of many different flavored paletas (ice cream on stick), scoops in cups or cones, and even a funky fruit juice with fruit chunks floating around in it. Their summer hours are 10a-10p and you can get a single scoop of heaven for a buck and a quarter...say what?!?...Flash back to the 90s! YAY! Oh, they also change up their flavors and yes, even their AVOCADO and CHEESE ice cream is GOOD! Seriously. I think with so many middle-of-the-road ice cream chains around each corner we forget what real ice cream is suppose to taste like....just saying.

    I can't believe that I have been in Peoria for 1 year before coming to Las Delicias! They serve a different collection of flavors and frozen treats. There are water based and cream based treats. They also have 3 different fruit suspended treats that look like fruit soup. I am really interested in trying them! The interior is colorful and has high stools and tables! It is such a cute place to go when you are in the mood for ice cream. It's also a great place for college students to go if they don't have a car and want some good ice cream! I enjoy the unique flavors that they have like tequila and cheese ice cream. They have some "cookie" cutter flavors like strawberry and butter pecan. A small scoop of ice cream in a bowl is $2. The quality is way better than other chain restaurants and probably a lot cheaper! I definitely think it's a good experience to go Las Delicias!

    Banana split and nutella shake!

    This is the second time being here. I assure you it won't be the last. Came on a very busy day and was overwhelmed by the choices. So I came on a Thursday after work to take my time. The selection of flavors change, though I am not sure how often. I recommend this for and ice cream fiend. Its a small store but worth the wait on a hot afternoon. If you like frozen desserts its a must see. You will not be let down. I ordered a nutella shake and my girlfriend had a banana split with nutella, cheese, and strawberries n' cream. Yum!

    Review Visit: June 17th, 2015…read more Theo's is The-o place to be for ice cream. Peoria seems to have a lot of ice cream places and Theo's was next on my list to visit. So, I gathered my good travel buddy Matt and my girlfriend at the time to drive there and check it out. I have actually tried to visit Theo's a few times prior to this but the location is just odd. It's kind of on the corner of a busy main street and a busy side street. Due to that, it's a pretty hopping place to go. On top of that, the parking arrangement is also strange. There is maybe room for a few cars in front of the building and a few spots on the side of the building but beyond that, you are relegated to using the curbs along the road. On our way there, we devised a Plan B as we have failed to try and get Theo's before. Luckily, we beat the crowd and were able to find a place to park. Memory is a bit foggy on this part but I believe Theo's is/was cash only. Don't quote me on that but do make sure you have some money on you as a precaution. I don't exactly remember what I ordered. I think it was an espresso-flavored ice cream while my girlfriend ordered a coffee-flavored one. We, of course, sampled what the other got. I have to be honest and say that while mine was great, her choice in flavors was 10x better. We actually came back by ourselves on another day and I got what she got and was happy. Matt ordered something unique off the menu. I don't remember what it was but he said it was delicious. I think it was a low-calorie ice cream treat. Since we ordered simple ice creams, we didn't have to wait too long for the cashier to yell out our order to pick them up. If you've never been to a proper ice cream shack, do know that if you order a lot of food it can take awhile to get it as they usually cook the food fresh and to-order. Theo's does offer a wide variety of options between ice cream and food. I have yet to try their non-ice cream offerings but I would imagine they are pretty good. At least the photos I've seen on Google/Yelp makes their food look good. If I do get to try their food, I will add my thoughts of it to this post.

    I went back last week and was informed the prices listed are correct but yesterday when I went the…read moresame two females from before said the prices aren't correct. At this point I'm convinced they are up charging people and pocketing the money. There is no way you can't update a paper menu after a month to reflect the correct prices nor do I believe people are being disciplined for charging what is listed.

    Review Visit: September 29th, 2013…read more "Do you want to go to The Ice Cream Shack?" "Sure! Which one?" "THE Ice Cream Shack." "Right, but which one? Peoria has a ton of them." "It's a place called THE ICE CREAM SHACK." "Ohhhhhh..." I imagine that is a common conversation among people when they are talking about coming here. I know there was some slight confusion between my cousin and I when we made plans to check this place out. After spending the afternoon hiking at Forest Park Nature Center with my friend Tim and my cousin's family, we needed some sugary treats to recharge our batteries. The kids were vocally loud in their agreement on getting ice cream. So, we hopped in our cars and headed over. I had been by this area quite a few times and never realized there was an ice cream place. The building itself is a bit recessed from the road and doesn't really have an outlandish look that some ice cream shacks have. So, you can end up driving by without noticing it (as I have). It was a slow when we pulled up so there was plenty of parking for our two vehicles. We hopped out and walked on up to the window to figure out what we wanted. Luckily this place doesn't have a million different options to pick from like a lot of places. Their menu is simplistic and focused on ice cream with a small selection of non-frozen desserts to pick from. On this day, I snagged a Peanut Butter Cup-flavored wizard. As we waited for our snacks, I eagerly anticipated getting a peanut butter cup-themed wizard staff and hat to go with my delectable. When they called my name, I sprinted up to the window to get my goodies. What they gave me was just the wizard that I ordered and no garments or anything else. Dream crushed. I'm kidding. We all got our orders in a fairly quick time as there weren't many people there. I don't recall what everyone else got but we took some funny photos while scarfing down our sugary dairy products. Everyone seemed to enjoy what they ordered and after goofing around a bit more, we parted ways. Not only did the kids get to be kids jacked up on ice cream and hiking, us adults got to be kids at heart while being goof balls loaded up on sugar.

Our…read moremost recent visit, we were served by Yeni herself and she was really kind about having us try several flavors before we made our final selections. This shop has so many things! Regular ice cream, dairy-free sorbet flavors, horchata, aqua fresca and boozy flavors. So much, all home made. My plan was to have a scoop of the no sugar added avocado ice cream as I did my previous visit. It was so refreshing on a hot night. Sadly, this flavor was not available, but there were OH SO many. The lavender was wonderful. The pine nut was unexpectedly sweet and smooth. My husband ended up choosing starry night, which was a mix of berries topped with gold star shaped sprinkles and it was a beautiful presentation. My choice ended up being something she suggested that I try. I honestly can't remember the name but the 90s was in the title so of course it was something I was interested in ha ha. So let me tell you, this flavor tasted like Saturday mornings as a kid, when you're watching cartoons, eating cereal and then you drink the last bit of your sweetened milk from the bottom of the bowl. Oh my gosh, it took me back! Yeni explained that it was a mix of her homemade Mexican vanilla and she added grape nuts. Yes, you heard that right - grape nuts, cereal! I am so excited that this shop is in Peoria Heights, and I hope that it stays for a long time. We will plan to be back regularly. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. Yeni!

Not that much seating throughout with probably 8 spots inside and a few benches outside. Great did a grab and go and there's a drive thru. We thought knowing Dayne Z or Brock M would help get us no free ice cream but we'll have to keep trying next time we visit.

While looking for things to do in Lexington, I found that there isn't much due to it being a small town. BUT, there is an ice cream shack right next to the brewery and that was the perfect spot to get some food before putting down a few beers. We pulled up and walked around to the ordering window outside. There was a lady in front of us which gave us time to figure out what we wanted. Emily settled on a philly steak sandwich and I got the buffalo chicken sandwich. We took a seat at one of the tables and waited for our food. There is an indoor seating area and I did go check it out since we had time to kill. I took a glance in and liked what I saw. It had a very diner-esque feel inside. I didn't do more than stick my head in and look around due to the only people inside were some teenage girls. It didn't take too long for the food to come out. Emily and I took our food and headed next door to try and eat it inside the brewery. The bartender said it was a-okay to eat inside. Funny enough, once we sat down, we say a sign on the table that said you can order from your table and it'll either be brought over from The Shake Shack or you can go grab it real quick. We were both starving and we dug in real quick (while sipping our beers, but that post comes next). The buffalo chicken sandwich was delicious! It wasn't too hot or too spicy, which was a bit of a bummer but the flavor and heavy butter flavor in the bun was just what I needed. Emily said her philly steak (minus onions) was possibly the best thing she's ever had... either because she was famished or it was just that good. So, the food is great! At least what we had. How was their ice cream offerings? Funnily, we didn't get any. The idea sounded good after we were done at the brewery but in reality... we were just ready to head home and unwind from everything. The desire was there at least! I have no doubt that if their ice cream is as good as their food, you are in for a treat. If I go back and get their ice cream, I will add a comment in here on how it was. Also, I didn't really get any good photos here so it would be nice to go back and get some better ones.
