Amazing Italian ice freshly made with real fruit! I have been to a lot of areas that serve ice, but little LuLu's is the only spot that makes me feel refreshed from the heat,cool, also delicious and of course taste like fruit I suggest everyone to go and experience it. read more

Fantastic tres leche cake! Strawberry was amazing, a must try. Also had some Italian ice.

Great small neighborhood spot. The Italian ice is fantastic. My daughter loves the mango and lemon Italian ice. Friendly service in a great area surrounded by good food options. read more

We came here right when they opened up. They were still getting everything ready, but were very welcoming and assisted us right away. Just like any Italian ice place, they have the popular flavors and they also have special flavors that they change around on a weekly or daily basis. I of course ordered my go to, strawberry and lemonade. The lemonade was sweet and sour, very addicting and the strawberry was used with real fruit. It was definitely refreshing. The Italian ice was delicious, and they have great service, they're just unfortunately on the pricey side compared to some other great establishments. Wouldn't mind returning on a hot day when in the area. read more

Super cute little spot! All natural italian ice! Fruit, sugar, and water! The person working there was super sweet and let me try all the flavors. All of them were great but I got raspberry and mango! Such a great combo! Everyone else got mango coconut which is the most popular combo! Outside they had some lawn chairs which was really nice since there were a lot of us! It was cool their cups and spoons were biodegradable! Would recommend for anyone looking for a refreshing treat to beat the heat! Happy eating! read more

Little Lulus - Such a cute place!!! - Desserts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Super cute little spot! The girl working there was super helpful and didn't mind and even encourage us to try the flavors. They all tasted really good and like actual fruit not just ice and sugar like most places. Need to go back soon and try the rest! read more

Little Lulu's is amazing! They have CBD-infused frui-shees (fruit slushees) and they are incredible! I haven't seen these offered anywhere else in the city. A very welcomed addition to Portage Park! They have delicious all natural Italian ice in lots of flavors with a somewhat rotating menu. You can split the flavors, which my wife and girls love since the combos are seemingly endless! Being Italian, I was a purist most of my life and would only eat lemon Italian ice. Then a tasted the coconut at Little Lulu's, and it changed my life forever! I cannot get enough of it! Thank goodness you can buy their Italian ice by the pint to take home. Worth noting are their sandwiches and soups, which are super tasty! All of the soups are homemade and may be better than your actual mother's haha. This place is a hidden gem! read more

Just checked this tiny storefront out for the first time this evening. Wow! The flavors were all outstanding (we tried lemon, raspberry, coconut, mango, strawberry, and banana) and the price is super reasonable. I hope this little place survives because it is our new summer treat spot. read more

Such a cute little shop in Portage Park. Bright and colorful with fruitful details. Delicious real fruit flavors that are not too common elsewhere like passion fruit, watermelon, coconut, kiwi and grapefruit. Fave is the passion fruit. They have bench seating inside and two bistro tables outside so you can enjoy your treat al fresco on a nice summer day. Always making a stop here when in there area. read more

Do the words, "best soup I ever tasted" mean anything? Because this is the best soup I ever tasted! I arrived ten minutes before closing when at most restaurants the food is getting stale and the staff is getting cranky. Not here. The lady was so nice as she rang me up, and when my wife and I tried the last cup of soup they had left, we were absolutely blown away by it. Tasted super-fresh. The flavor and seasoning was terrific. They shredded the chicken so that you got some in every bite. No disgusting oil or grease at the top. I mean, just perfect soup! That's the bottom line, it's just perfect soup. This must have been what the soup was like in that Seinfeld episode, only they're actually nice to you here. As for me, next time I get the flu, it won't be so bad because my wife will let me eat as much of this as I want! read more

SO GOOD! We had the coconut, passion fruit, and mango. All delicious. The coconut was coconut milky, not dairy milky, and had depth of flavor. Maybe that's weird to say but sometimes coconut flavor stuff tastes like sunscreen. But this tasted like fresh coco! Prices were reasonable. The location is adorable. I might have to go again tonight. (And this will mean something to .00001% of you, but if you know the ice cream place in San German, PR, on Calle Javilla down the hill from the Porta Coeli, this italian ice is almost just like it! TASTES JUST LIKE HOME! Fingers crossed for guanabana next.) read more

I cannot recommend Little Lulu's enough. I was searching for a sweet treat option that wasn't cake for my son's birthday party and someone in my neighborhood had suggested Little Lulu's. I had never been to her shop, but that will change immediately. The italian ice was THE BEST and by far the hit of the party. While the kids had mini cups, the adults had adult slushees that were delicious. Literally people at the party kepts saying how amazing it is. Will definitely be going to the shop and would hire again in a heart beat. read more

Just what the northside needed! A true Italian I've joint, with friendly service and cute ambiance. I've true the blood orange, coconut, & raspberry, all delish. read more

The Italian ice is delicious! I used to take my butt all the way to the park on Damen and Belmont to get their Italian ice. Super excited that they opened this spot right down the street from my house. The flavors are amazing. My fave is the coconut. Owner is super cool and the place looks great. I'll def be a regular here all summer!! read more

Today was my first time stopping into the small neighborhood spot. I have tried lulu's before from one of their carts at a farmers market but for some reason I think the Italian ice tastes better at their actual location. One of the best parts is that they sell Italian ice year round so no more having to wait for the right season to get your Italian ice fix. The lemon flavor is traditional simple and very flavorful. They also have many other flavors like mango, coconut, chocolate etc. They even give the option to add CBD to your order. There is an upcharge for it but if that's your thing you can get it here. They also sell drinks and sandwiches if your hungry and on the run. I will definitely return. read more

Little Lulus - This one's a winner guys. It's made with real fruit and doesn't have that frozen kool aid kind of flavor. It's the best! I'm hooked now. - Desserts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came here over the weekend and WOW lemon and raspberry is my for sure favorite! Definitely worth a stop at on a hot day!

Simply one of the best spot for desert. Come and bring the family. Plenty of street parking. The sandwich's are pretty great too.

Put a trash bin, tables and chairs outside by the trees take orders from there. COVID TRAP INSIDE! My family thought it was good, however dirty inside. The woman runs the checkout and digs in the open containers to serve you with no gloves NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH OSHA. Grossed me out, especially when I seen her grab the pen from 5 different people. She gave samples to people whom handed it back to her again no gloves. Never seen her wash her hands. Didn't clean the 1table outside either. COVID OR HEALTH DEPARTMENT ISSUES FOR SURE. BE CAREFUL. read more

This place is amazing!!! Came in and tried their new flavor banana and it was great!! read more

Being a vegetarian I was recruited to taste test the "Cute as a Cucumber" sammich at Little Lulu's Italian Ice shop in Portage Park. This sandwich was SO delicious with many different flavors and textures. What made it so interesting was the base was made of a mashed chickpea spread delicately seasoned. On top of that a thinly sliced cucumber salad made with fresh lime juice, garlic and perfectly balanced dill and other herbs. If that wasn't enough, it was topped with vegan cheese and spicy arugula then grilled to perfection. I had to take one home to my carnivore husband and he absolutely loved it!! I give it 5 stars because it was so good and I can't wait till I can sink my teeth into another one read more

Good Italian ice, order the Italian ice slushie. They also have excellent coffee drinks.

Really good ice on the NWSide. Good flavor choices. The coconut was very creamy and the lemon had a good strong flavor too. The girl who helped us was super friendly. It's a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

The ice was great. We tried a few different flavors but my favorite was the coconut. So happy to have a place like this in the neighborhood

Love this little place! The flavors are great and I love the fact that all natural ingredients (vary rare nowadays) are used. My husband and I have tried lemon, coconut, passion fruit, guava, raspberry and watermelon so far. Can't wait to try the rest! The owner is also very nice. We showed up a little after closing time and she still took care of us. What a great way to treat her customers and show appreciation! read more

Italian ice is my favorite treat and I have been to almost all of the places in Chicago that serve Italian ice. Lu Lu's is my favorite. I particularly like the coconut and mango and for the first time, had their chocolate the other day which was outstanding. The flavors are great and the texture is perfect, not too hard or soft. read more
