We love their rotating flavored ice creams, dipped cones, "twinklecoat" (like a sugar/sprinkle/nut coating), and the peanut butter cup/Oreo flurry. Also they finally have vegan flavors!! If you can't eat dairy (like me) go for the "Dole Whip." I got the lemon/lime twist cone. Outside seating, and we really appreciate that they're pet-friendly! Ask for a pup cup if your dog wants to get in on the action. Service is fast but the employees are super nice. Just an FYI, cash only! Also, if you tip them they ring a fun bell. A classic spot that I hope our family can come to for many years to come.

Best place in Loves Park to get ice cream. Dairy Depot is a longtime favorite for locals. It of…read morecourse is where to go in summer. Has a pretty great amount of options. The prices are okay for quality. A seasonal place for cold treats and some hot eats. It's one of those unassuming looking stands that gets packed when it gets hot. The flavors go way beyond the basic stuff. A lot of unique ones to get. They also have Dole Whip. It's about $5 a cup. There's also parfaits. Chill place to go when it gets hot. It's located on 2nd Street at River. They are closed for the winter.

We dropped in before closing. This was our first time to a Yumberry…read more The restaurant was clean (and was being cleaned up for closing). You walk in, and there are frozen yogurt machines past the counter. Pick up a container, and pick your yogurt. I took the SWIRL option of vanilla and raspberry pomegranate, my wife did the vanilla separate from salted caramel (e.g. NOT swirled). You then pick your toppings, add them on, and go to the register, who weighs your cup. You pay by the ounce. We had two pretty full cups - I added yogurt chips and cherries to mine, she added some stuff to hers. The bill was around $14, and don't forget to leave a tip. The yogurt was tasty - we sat outside and enjoyed the night heat and yogurt. All in all, this was a good experience. Nice, cold yogurt, good toppings, and a clean restaurant. Good stuff!

The Greater Rockford area has an embarrassing number of stellar Italian beef sandwiches. Two months…read moreago (Summer 2024) I proclaimed that Pomodoro was the best of the best. That proclamation is no longer accurate! Buona opens up here and changes the Italian beef landscape overnight! Intense Italian seasoning, paper thin slices stacked high, gravy (au jus) with even more seasoning floating in it, and a great roll all combine to make an excellent and unparalleled (as of 10-9-24) Italian beef sandwich experience. Bonus: excellent rigatoni served perfectly al dente. The sauce (gravy) was as good as anything I've ever eaten. Try it! Great service. Comfortable chairs. Has an ice cream place attached to it, Rainbow Cone.

Worst Customer Service I've Ever Experienced! Avoid Yumberry Frozen Yogurt…read more I stepped into Yumberry Frozen Yogurt in Machesney Park with my significant other expecting a fun treat. Instead, I got one of the most bizarre and hostile customer service encounters I've ever had. No one was at the register when we walked in, so we grabbed our own spoons and cups to quickly try one flavor--literally a tiny taste--so we could make a confident purchase. Out runs a woman with blue and black hair, acting frantic, scolding us for trying a flavor. We immediately threw away our spoons as she demanded. A small drip of yogurt almost fell from my cup, so I caught it with my hand and ate it (not a crime last I checked). She then threatened to make us throw away our entire bowls--which we were moments away from paying for--just because we had dared to taste a flavor earlier. I calmly explained that I used to work at a frozen yogurt shop for years, so I understand policies, but asked if they offer any kind of compensation or exchange for unsatisfied customers. She said no. I asked what would happen if the yogurt was expired or the machine dirty still no. Even more shocking? She's worked there for a year and "isn't sure" about basic service procedures. Her reasoning for the extreme rules? COVID. In 2025. Meanwhile, the same yogurt she wanted me to throw away would've been wasted anyway. This is a frozen yogurt shop, not a high-security lab. Other froyo shops happily let customers taste flavors and will gladly fix an order if something's wrong. Here? You're treated like a criminal for wanting to be sure you'll enjoy what you're buying. Do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere that actually wants you to come back. This place clearly doesn't.
