Thai tea popsicle with dark chocolate and sprinkles
Trisha A.

A fun dessert bar located in the Crab Pad! These popsicles are completely customizable. You get to pick which flavor, what chocolate drizzle or dip you want, and any of the toppings. This is all included in the price, no extra fees. When I went we had a Groupon. Even better! The flavors change often so don't be expecting to get the same thing every time. They have some classic flavors and other unique flavors like Cereal Milk or Thai Tea. I personally like the unique flavors! Also don't be afraid to ask the staff what chocolate and toppings go well with the popsicle. They have great suggestions and are friendly. It's worth a trip, even if you want to just grab a popsicle and not eat at the Crab Pad. BUUUT I would highly suggest eating at the Crab Pad first!!

Beat the heat with this yummy popsicle. It was a little on the sweeter side since I asked for condensed milk and coconut shreds over the already covered in white chocolate bar. I enjoyed the flavors of the bar and will be back for the Ube pop next time!

Not sure if this was a popup shop inside Crab Pad or what but it definitely swayed me to pick Crab Pad over a competitor! I was googley-eyes when I saw the Popsicles! Some flavors were classics while others were more unique. Step 1: pick your popsicle flavor Step 2: pick your drizzle or dip: white, milk, or dark chocolate Step 3: pick any of the toppings (unlimited choices included in the price) We ended up getting the green tea kitkat with milk chocolate and condense milk drizzle and peanuts as well as the vietnamese coffee with dark chocolate drizzle and cookie and graham cracker crumbs. I almost go the mango strawberry one but couldn't picture what drizzle or topping would go well with it. I believe popsicles are $5 each with unlimited toppings. We also got a coupon for BOGO, which I let my friend keep. I admit it was a little overrated but yolo lol gotta try everything once...

Ube with coconut and graham crackers

A small stand within The Crab Pad, came here because it looked Morelia-adjacent, and it is a pretty good facsimile, not quite as amazing, but yummy. And the price is right, only $5 for a custom popsicle, with the spooned on sauce of your choice (dark, milk or white chocolate) and any toppings you want. The server helping us was really nice and put a healthy amount of toppings on top. I got Ube with dark chocolate and coconut and graham crackers and they also sprinkle on some condensed milk syrup. It's very sweet and fun. E got Cookie Monster with chocolate sprinkles and vanilla wafers (and dark chocolate and condensed milk). Her's was good too. Neither of them had the top tier tastes, but again, it's fun, yummy and reasonably priced! The consistency was a little icy, so could be better, but I'd go here again for the unique flavor and customization options.

This is definitely a good choice for a cheat day! After my third visit, I noticed that their ice cream bar flavors change often. Which is good because this will have you coming back for something different. And the flavors are unique - ube, tiramisu, green tea kit kat, chai tea, etc. Their melted chocolate offerings are good - white and milk chocolate. You can drape your ice cream and have them cascade their toppings which are off the charts - coconut, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, peanuts, etc. It's unlimited so you can ask for a wild combo. I do want to say that the person preparing your customized dessert will determine if it'll be over the top or just mediocre. On my first two visits - the desserts were a work of art. On my last visit, I felt like she was trying to save on ingredients. I guess I should have just requested more toppings - so that's what I'll do on my next visit.

Smores popsicle!!!
Sarah S.

GELATO POPSICLES! Deep within the depths of The Crab Pad (not really, it's right up front), lies a mysterious and wondrous side shop (again, not really, it's all pretty well explained and laid out), ran by curious creatures (i lie, they are lovely, friendly and informative people) and full of delicious treats (now that part is finally true). A friend had told me about Milk and Wood plus it's walkable from home, so when I saw a Groupon pop up for them, I jumped on it. My friend and I dined at The Crab Pad first because really, how can you not when they share the same space, then made our way to the Milk and Wood counter. The lady working there was so friendly and so excited to tell us about a new kid on the block - the Smores Pop. She was so psyched about it, that it rubbed off on me and I ordered one straight away. She was really excited when I ordered it and got to work! Adding all of the toppings on their milk bars is definitely a process and took some time. Layer after layer was put on top, drizzling some of this, spreading some of that, fireblowing (yes, they scorched part of mine) a little of this - it was intense. But in the end, I came out with a really delicious, monstrous dessert. Now my gelato pop was incredibly good with all the cray toppings but I have a feeling even without anything you'd be happy. They had some really cool flavors of gelato pops like my Smores flavor, Vietnamese Coffee, Green tea, and a bunch more. The Smores pop I got had preset toppings and she would ask every step of the way if I wanted this or that and I said HECK YEA to everything. However, you can decide all your own toppings if you like, as well. Now the base price of $5 may seem pricey to some but you can add as many toppings as you like for that price. And if you can snag a deal like I did, you're way ahead of the game! I would absolutely go to Milk and Wood again to try more of their tasty treats.

Pandan- white/milk chocolate, coconut, fruity pebbles and condensed milk. Ube - white chocolate, sprinkles, and graham crackers.

Wanted to check this place out because of all the good reviews I've read and the yummy looking pictures of their ice creams. First off, the ice cream stand is located in The Crab Pad. I went on a Tuesday around 5pm and I was sad to see the small selection of flavors they had available. I tried the buko pandan and my boyfriend had the Ube (purple yam) flavor. I like how you are able to add as many toppings as you would like. It seemed like they lacked toppings or ran out of it, despite them just opening for the day which I found disappointing, but maybe I just went on a bad day. The ice cream was SO GOOD. Perfect on a hot day. Would like to come back to try other flavors but so far pandan is my favorite.

Delicious dress up your own paletas the way you desire. The girl helping me was so kind. Would highly recommend!

Matcha kit Kat with coconut flakes, and milk chocolate & condensed milk drizzle, fo shizzle!
Sabrina R.

Milk and Wood is located inside the Crab Pad restaurant. It's a nice sweet addition after indulging in seafood, but patrons are welcome to puchase ice cream, even if they are not eating at the Crab Pad. I had the match kit kat bar with milk chocolate and condensed milk drizzle, and topped with coconut. Soooooo good! I love the flavor of the bar, and it had a big kit kat chunk in it. It would have been great by itself, but the drizzle and toppings just added to it without overdoing it.

These were so delicious and you get unlimited toppings. I loved the ube one that I got. It was the best part of the meal. One of the people I was with got marshmallow and they even toast it for you.

I bought this deal on Groupon a few months ago. Today was my last day to take full advantage of this deal. Since the weather was beautiful. I decide to treat myself and son to a nice cold dessert. I was just a tad bit worried that my gelanto popsicle would taste like seafood. Milk and Woods is locate right inside Crab Pads. I'm not a seafood eater so I was hoping that I wasn't going to break out in hives. Once We made it inside and saw the yummy display of all flavored pops. My worries went right out the door. I mean they have so many flavors to chose from and the toppings are unlimited for $5.00. My deal was 2 popsicle with unlimited toppings for $5.00. What a steal The young girl behind the counter was very attentive and helpful when you asked her a question. She explained that each day there are many other flavors to pick from the cooler display. I mean the display alone caught my eye. We both decide to get the oreo with chocolate drizzle on top with butterfinger crushed on top. I took one bite and fell in love. It was delicious. I'm a very picky person so when I tell you this dessert hit a home run in my tummy. The location is cool with plenty of street meter parking. It's a nice place to bring your kids for a nice treat. Or just an after brunch treat with your friends. The price is well worth it & you can't beat unlimited toppings. I tried to go back on Groupon to purchase anotjer deal. But it is no longer on the site. Which is cool because Milk & Wood is still worth the money. I will make sure to come back and try the other flavors A

Unexpected little ice cream shop in Crab Pad! Unique flavors like Ube and Green Tea KitKat - as well as the classics like Cookies and Cream and Strawberry. The pops come with unlimited toppings ranging from graham cracker crumbs to fruit pebbles! The quantity is pretty generous and decorated quite prettily. You also get $2 for a yelp check in! This really hit the spot for a quick sweet treat after dinner that Logan Square is sorely missing. We will be back!

Previously melty and refrozen sugar pops with underwhelming toppings. Not worth the hype.
Jenifer E.

Underwhelming. Was so excited to try this place based on all the incredible pictures but the popsicles were way over hyped. The pops looked like they were all leftover from the day before, refrozen previously melty ice cream on a stick. The toppings bar was limited and again, seemingly stale. Didn't realize this was a little corner stand inside a restaurant vs it's own location.. again. Underwhelming. Your $5 is better spent up the street at Heavenly Ice Cream and Gelato.

Obviously if I go somewhere that has a Ghirardelli, I'm making it a point to stop by during my…read moretrip. And so it was that we found ourselves inside this location of Ghirardelli during our Chicago trip. I wound up ordering what I always order, the World Famous Hot Fudge Sundae ("Vanilla ice cream and handmade hot fudge topped with whipped cream, diced almonds, a cherry, and a Milk Chocolate Caramel Square"). It was ready within minutes and of course it's terrific. All the components work so well together, and that hot fudge sauce remains one of my favorite things ever. (Do I wish they had included more of it? Yes, absolutely.) Don't ever change, Ghirardelli. You're great. (And please come to Canada some day!)

While visiting Chicago lately and wanting to warm up with a nice, warm beverage, my friend and I…read morecame across the Chicago Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop on Michigan Avenue, and we immediately went inside and upstairs to place an order for hot chocolate. And we certainly are glad we did...it was delicious!! While Ghirardelli Chocolate was founded in San Francisco in 1852, Chicago is fortunate to have a vibrant and welcoming shop where any visitors can indulge in the ultimate chocolate experience whether purchasing chocolate gifts or placing an order at their made in-house restaurant upstairs. They make decadent hot fudge sundaes with handmade hot fudge made fresh daily from Ghirardelli Chocolate along with a sample signature chocolate square. This particular store is open on Monday through Thursday from 11 AM to 9 PM, Friday from 11 AM to 10 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 11 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 9 PM. I jumped at ordering a Classic Hot Cocoa, which offers a luxuriously deep chocolate flavor that comes through their beverage while topped with whipped cream and dusted with cocoa powder. It was served with a milk chocolate caramel Ghirardelli square. They also served shakes, coffee drinks, and more along with their huge chocolate Pick & Mix selection (where you choose your own flavors), chocolate gifts, chocolate bars, and chocolate gift bags. Go to their website (https://www.ghirardelli.com) and sign up for their e-mail newsletter to receive 15% off an order while also receiving e-mails with special offers. Another deal is that you can get free standard shipping on orders of $75 or more. I'm already dreaming of my next Ghirardelli made in-house beverage and chocolate square. Yum!!!

I had a super special date at Margie's with my 2 year old, and we had the best time ever. What I…read morelove about Margie's is that it's frozen in time. It's pretty small inside, there are only a few tables. A server comes to your table to place your order, which I feel like never happens at ice cream shops anymore! The menu is huge! There were multiple sections to banana splits, sundaes, and shakes. We decided to go with something simple. My son ordered 2 scoops of cookies n cream ice cream (with sprinkles of course) and I got moose tracks! The ice cream is the real deal. Our server was super sweet, and we were in and out of there in probably 30-45 minutes. We had the best time and will definitely be back this summer.

We heard that Margie's Candies had some seriously good sundaes, so obviously we had to check the…read moreplace out. (The fact that the joint's been around for over 100 years doesn't hurt either.) It's a small restaurant but we managed to snag a cozy table near the back. We'd already spent most of the day eating, so we decided to share the Atomic Fudge Sundae. It's a fairly enormous concoction. I found it interesting that the hot fudge was served on the side, but it's actually pretty smart because you get control how much (or how little) sauce you get. The ice cream is the highlight. It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.
