I went to the West Chicago location a week ago, and loved it, so I figured I'd try Bloomingdale, since it's closer to home. What I liked better about this location than the West Chicago one was that there were labels on all ice cream flavors! Interesting flavors: tequila, buttery nipple.... I got 1 scoop of mint Oreo and one scoop regular Oreo. They were just as delicious as the strawberry cheesecake I had at the other location. They're now one of my new fav places for ice cream! They'll give you samples of whatever you'd like to try, which is nice because the flavors are so unusual. I'm a non-Spanish speaking, Coldstone Oberweis-eating mama, and ice creams with spice aren't my usual cup of tea. They also sell a few Mexican foods if you're not into ice cream. But if that's the case, why the heck'd you go to an ice cream shop? I got mine in a dish but they have waffle cones. And it's so cheap as compared to other places! I'd recommend checking it out if you're sick of the typical flavors the typical ice cream shops. read more

I do not recommend, makes the same items different every visit. Friendly but terrible service

I realize this place has been in between Bath & Body Works and Carter's for a long time and it has taken me this long to try it. Shame on me. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in. There was a decent amount of staff and it seems like they offer a lot of options. Food like Belgian Waffles and nachos plus smoothies and ice cream. I purchased two smoothies, a strawberry banana smoothie for me and a straight strawberry one for me three year old. Adam loved his smoothie and I thought my smoothie was very good. When we walked in all of the tables were occupied. The decor was modern and the entire place looked very clean. I recommend giving this place a try (maybe two tries because their menu was quite extensive. read more

Haven't been here since they opened at the new location and was debating to write a review because I liked coming here, I decided to order a corn mind you that it was already opened for 2 hours and I see the employee put the corn in a bag and then put the bag in the microwave, if I'm being charged 6 plus tax for a small 8 oz cup of corn I don't expect it to be warmed up in the microwave in a plastic bag , I could do that at home. It was a disappointment coming here. read more

Great customer service by the owner. The place is supeeeer clean and serves amazing treats! I ordered the waffle with yummy ice cream a monster preparado and fresas con crema. read more

A good start for a very, very badly needed Mexican heladeria in the western suburbs. La Michoacana has the assortment of cold desserts you were looking for: mangolladas, freshly-made popsicles and many, many kinds of ice cream... along with a random Jimmy's Seaside Fries. I did not try the fries or whatever else is sold there, so this review doesn't cover that. What this review does cover is the environment, which was bright and friendly, and the ice cream. And this place does the ice cream pretty well. I got the coconut and the rum raisin; one scoop each, in a cup. I'm not entirely sure what "all natural" means in this context, but the coconut was churned well, with flakes of coconut uniformly distributed in a coconutty custard. It could be improved by toasting the coconut but that's getting nitpicky. The rum raisin was a punch in the teeth. In a mostly good way. Completely frozen raisins would not be good in ice cream, so you have to soak them in alcohol to keep it soft enough to go well with the ice cream. I assure you, these raisins were well-soaked, to the point of being flat-out boozy. This flavor is not for the children. :-) In both cases the ice cream seems to have been made with less heavy cream and more half and half or whole milk; this results in a slightly gritty texture, but at the same time I'm *pretty* sure that's the standard for heladerias. YMMV. Overall I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more flavors; there are so many and with so much variety, you're bound to find one you like. Ferrero Rocher, anyone? read more

$3 for ice cream cup, is a steal for the amount of ice cream you receive. There are 100 things to choose from and all of them looks yummy!!! The store was neat and clean and atmosphere was lively. The owner personally recommended the flavors. There are lots of fruity candy bars and lots of Indian flavored ice cream! read more

I haven't been here in about 8 months. I got the buttery nipple ice cream which was really good. And it has actual liquor in it so don't give it to the kiddos! Kids always love it here. What kids doesn't like a cool treat? The gel floor tiles are cool, the kids adore it. I'd totally give this place a 5 stars again for the tasty stuff they make but I'm just bummed how dirty it was here. Behind the counter where the ice cream is seemed clean. The staff handles everything well. It's the eating area where everyone sits that bothered me! Now there's two things I totally understand, kids and spills always happen, and when you are busy you may not have a lot of time to clean up after the masses. But I'm pretty sure it takes maybe 5 minutes to give the floor and tables a good wipe down. And if you do that every hour you'll always have a clean sitting area. I honestly didn't want to sit inside due to how sticky the table was and how messy the floor is. There was spilled ice cream that was still wet as well as dried ice cream spills. The entire floor under the table we sat at was full of cookie bits, sprinkles, and ice cream smears and drips. (Which tells me it's been there a while since some of it was dried) It only takes a few minutes to have some one come around to every table and wipe them all down and definitely have some one mop the floor. The floor was the worst part. Now aside from that part, I do like their ice cream! read more

I was disappointed in this place. Service was lackluster and didn't feel authentic. The Michoacana in Addison is much better and I'll be driving down the road for it. The tandem of ice cream and the Fries business just seemed off to me. read more

I didn't even know this place existed even though I am in the shopping center weekly. Went here instead of Oberwise for desert one day and I was pleasantly surprised. I had tamarin ice-cream which was amazing- it came in the ice-cream and in the ready to go bar (i got the ready to go bar for convenience but the ice-cream flavor was better since I tried that one) The only thing about this place was that it was overwhelming, it took be a solid 5 minutes to decide want I wanted- I was stuck between the ice-creams (which they had so many flavors) the the frozen bars. They also serve elotes (Mexican corn) and other savory treats that I want to try- like flaming hot nachos and such. Also the floor of this place was super cool! read more

Las Michoacanas - These floors though - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

This is not a real Michoacana. I repeat not a real Michoacana. If you're looking for the typical fare you find at the Michoacana in Addison or Mount Prospect this isn't it. Seems like they changed the recipes and improvise on some. Elotes with tajin? No thanks just weird. Besides the tajin the elotes smell like dirty hot water. Maybe they sit too long in boiling water because they don't sell or they're serving the previous day elotes. Ritter way that's gross. The ice cream is ok but something isn't right. The paletas are good, hence the two stars. read more

A relatively decent ice cream shop. They offer good variety of flavors. It's not your traditional La Michoacana but they do offer some of the usual La Michoacana offerings. The ice cream flavors are good but the texture can be hit or miss. Some flavors like Pistachio, Paan, Mamey, Mango are better than the others. Prices are reasonable. Service is okay. read more

Beware, this is not your typical Michoacana. I made the mistake of ordering elote en vaso. Once I got home to eat it I had to throw it away because the employee had made it using a lot of Tajin instead of regular chilé piquin. It was so acid and salty, not edible. People are rude and the owners are Indian who don't speak Spanish. Would not recommend this place at all. read more

Las Michoacanas - Terrible elote en vaso. They put Tajin instead of regular chilé powder - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

~~THIS IS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT~~ Lets start with that. This is not the same shop that was there several months ago. This is now an authentic Michoacana shop. The owners I believe brother in law was in and working it on a Saturday morning (yes I went in the morning not that early, dont judge me) He was very nice, friendly, explained anything we had questions on when ordering some new things we've never tried. Now....for the good part...the food. So fresh, so delicious, and just made to perfection! So many must as we got Dorilocos made both ways offered and AMAZING. The topo Chico preparado was refreshing and a yummy surprise, even the basic chocolate ice cream was delicious. I will for sure be back and would recommend anyone to go and try it. Plus the decor is updated and looks clean and sleek in there. Trust if you were not a fan of the previous place that was not making proper Mexican snacks give it another try and see for yourself. read more

I have been to the Michoacana in Pilsen, Chicago. You can then imagine how excited when I saw the same name plastered across a store front. I headed there on a break and stepped in. There are so many flavors and I love their all natural flavors. I couldn't decide on what I want, but I was looking to treat my co-workers. This is such a great way to do it. Each popsicle is about $3.00. read more

Went in for a aqua de fresa and they didn't have it. So I ordered another drink thinking they would... I looked at it and it looked like spirite. Nothing was good about this place. read more

This place is amazing! I travel all the way to Bloomingdale just for their delicious mango con chile, elote con todo and bomb horchata !! Customer service is also so amazing ! read more

I've passed this place many times and finally checked it out. This place is good and needs more exposure. They have good ice cream selection. The Elotes is good! Atmosphere is lively. read more

OMG it's so sad that this place doesn't have a better rating! They have about 20 different fruit bars! Unfortunately they didn't have the ones with all the fruits in it. Ummm hi, they have deep fried oreos all year long! How could you not give them 5 stars just for that!? I will warn that their coffee ice cream tastes like there's alcohol in it but their ferrero rocher one was crazy good! They should put little pieces of ferrero rocher in there! Total bonus points for having samosas! read more

Very friendly workers. They had so much patience for the little ones that were with our party. There wasn't too many choices of flavor for the frozen yogurt and the bananas tasted like lemons. But I still finished my cup and enjoyed my time so not much to complain about read more

This is not a real Michoacana! Beware. I find it rude and offending that this business would even dare call themselves La Michoacana. Nothing wrong if you went through the proper channels. read more

Employees were amazing and so friendly! There are many options for ice cream and the mangonadas were so good!!! Loved it!

Love this place! Great variety of icecreams and other treats. The only problem, is that service is slow, but the worker's are very nice and attentive to your needs. read more

Was really hungry, read in the window they where now selling tacos, burritos, and Tortas wanted to give it a try. The new little restaurant inside there has some delicious food!! I tasted there quesadilla with meat my friend had some carne asada tacos and he loves them. They give you some chips and dip while you wait and the salsa is great. I do recommend this place if you want to try a New Mexican place and dessert after. The customer service is great as well!! I will be coming back. read more

Awesome Place for friends to hangout with and eat lots of different flavors of ice creams, popsicles, snacks, and drinks. The environment is lively and employees and owners are awesome. We usually are here for about an hour. Every time they come out with new flavor fo us to try. It's just the best hangout spot for friends and families. Music selection / funny videos are awesome. read more

Very good ice cream!!! Very good service. Place was clean . They have a lot of different flavors and let you try as many as you want. Highly recommend this place for ice cream!!! read more

Never again, nothing like the other la michocana, not worth it. Service was really bad and they were rude. Very disappointed.

This place is the BEST! I've been there twice this week already. The employees are so nice, we were greeted immediately and were shown all the flavor a. The employees were very nice and let us try pretty much every flavor we wanted. They have a good selection of ice creams and sorbets which all tasted very fresh. They even had fresh fruit juices! If you've never had fresh cantaloupe juice I highly recommend it. Everything is very clean and the prices are reasonable for the amount you get. The tequila ice cream is tasty. I also like the fact that they had Impractical Jokers on tv (a comedy reality show). My husband and I just sat in a booth eating ice cream and giggling. Love it. read more

My (Mexican) fiance and I LOVE Michoacana and have visited many locations. This location, however, is NOT like the rest. It appears to be run by someone who is not Latino and you can definitely tell that the quality is subsidiary to that of the REAL Michoacana locations we often visit. The serving we received is about 1/3 of the standard size at other locations and almost everything is scraped down to the bottom so they can grab every last bit of the frost-bitten treat so as not to waste a penny. I almost always opt for strawberry water and it looked like pink milk that had gone bad. I really wanted strawberry water so I inquired about it and, sure enough, the worker was honest and explained that it was no longer edible! We walked over to the ice-creams and we almost everything was deplete (unlike other locations that keep everything fresh and new!). The worker was very kind and scraped together the very last bit of (icy) ice-cream and did not overfill our cups as most locations do. We were disappointed by this location even though the flavors were still good. The worker was very helpful but the manager/owner didn't even look at us. No thank you, we will return to the authentic Michoacanas. read more

Very family friendly casual little place for sweet treats and snacks. Visiting family and came here with my sister. Had the mango ice cream, elotes, strawberry aguas Fresca, and fries. My 2yo was being cranky and they even put on a cartoon for him. Tons of fun flavors for ice cream and popsicles- check it out! read more

Would not recommend working here. The bosses are very rude, and in fact yelled at me in the back room on one occasion. I did not receive a paycheck after 3 weeks of working. The food is good, however they are very inconsiderate to their workers. read more

the guy helping me was very kind and patient. he noticed i couldnt make up my mind so he let me try his favorites. the mango and guava is to die for he added some tangy syrup on top i believe its tamarind? not sure but it was so good. ive convinced myself this is a healthy treat because its made with real fruit. (its really not) read more

If you didn't fill up on popcorn at the Picture Show, here is a great place to stop for a bite with the kids after. We enjoyed two exotic scoops we couldn't pronounce - huge scoops for just $3.00 - and sampled many other flavors. The proprietor was friendly and helpful and while we were enjoying our order, he described many of the flavors that were new to me. He also pointed out which were novelty flavors and which were the most authentic heladeria flavors made with fruit and nuts that grow in Mexico and other tropical places. The seating area was clean and the prep area was sparkling. Children enjoyed jumping on the squishy dye-filled tiles that run down the middle of the store. Flavored coffees, other sweet treats, and a modest list of fast food items are also offered here. (I'm sure existing as an ice cream-only store has great economic challenges in our weather.) We look forward to our next visit. read more
