Ice cream place is packed but the line is moving fast
Alejandro C.

Sweet Oasis is a true staple for ice cream here in Harwood Heights on the northwest side of Chicago! You always get huge portions, and the flavors are consistently delicious. The service is friendly and fast -- even when it's packed (which is almost always), the line moves incredibly quick because they actually have enough staff and they move with efficiency. The ambiance is great as well -- whether you sit outside or inside, it's a comfortable place to hang out and enjoy your treat. Perfect for families, date nights, or just a late-night sweet craving. Definitely a go-to ice cream spot in the area!

Back for yet another successful season, this ice cream shop seems to open earlier and earlier due to popular demand! Every flavor and tripe of treat, unique combinations with creative twists! Family owned and operated, know what you want before you get to the front of the line, friendly but swift service! Always bustling on the inside!

Ube soft serve

Wow!! Delicious ice cream. So many options. So popular. Place is small and the line winds around the inside of the store. Going as a newbie, I was confused but followed the crowd. You order at one end then walk down to the other end of the counter to pay. If you have a party of a few orders, you need to let them know. It's one employee that helps the whole party. We had 4 different orders. The pistachio hazelnut twist was soft serve. It was good but the taste of the pistachio was weak. The hazelnut was strong. He liked it but wished for more of the pistachio flavor. I wanted the ube matcha twist. They ran out of matcha. Do I just got an ube twist. It was good. I would get it again. My niece got a peach and chocolate cup. The idea seemed different and we didn't think it was good. But when I tried it, it was awesome. Then the last one was a banana split with ube, chocolate peanut butter and Cookie Monster ice cream. The Cookie Monster made my nephews tongue blue. He was so cute. They were pleased with the choices. They've been there often. There is no place to park. The lot is very small. So parking in the street and around the neighborhood. People sat on the curb, in their cars. There were tables and chairs outside but all taken. We'll be back.

The BEST ice cream spot in the area! It's always busy and sometimes has long lines, but the employees move REALLY fast! They have some seats inside to hang out in the AC but have outdoor seating as well once those fill up. Pricing is also great! You'd assume with the popularity and area they'd be more expensive but they're still affordable with great taste.

When in Chicago, the wife, grandchildren and myself always visit Sweet Oasis. The ice cream and gelato is to die for. This place gives large fist size scoops along with softies long as eight to ten inches. It was business as usual for a Friday and a line around the block. I got four soft cones chocolate and vinalla mixed for the girls and a two scoop Sunday of blueberry waffle cone and Chocolate Cherry the wife and I. This place is one of the few place left. That give you more than what you pay for. I paid under $26 dollars for the giant servings I received. The owner is Chris and believe me. You will leave this place satisfaction guaranteed. It's a little wait. But worth it with excellent customer service and exceptional quality. They have it all from shaved ice, popsicle, ice cream, gelato and much more.

Chocolate dipped softserve

Insanely yummy, creamy and massive soft serve with chocolate hardshell dip on waffle cone (with a little up charge). My friends enjoyed their scooped ice creams (probably a pint's worth per 2 scoop order) too! Prices are very reasonable for the amount of ice cream we got. Service / assembly line was organized and friendly so the line moved quickly. I'm so glad this ice cream joint is no where near my home for the sake of my thighs and belly!

I can't believe we just discovered this place. The pistachio and hazelnut soft serve twist is too good. They even make an ube flavored ice cream and it's a light ube flavor that I couldn't pass up a scoop.

See all
