Great ice cream. Unfortunately none of the employees are wearing masks which is problematic as their customers are a lot of unvaccinated children.

Been coming here since I was like 16 and I love it. They just made a custom cake for me and my company party and it turned out perfectly. I had at least 13 out of the 20 people come up and personally ask where I got the cake because it was the best theyve had.

Good icecream, but its kinda outdated

Review №21

Both my nephew and I got one scoop in a cone and both of ours had hair in the ice cream. It has happened before when the place is really busy and I didn’t care much because I felt bad for the busy workers. But there were maybe two other people in the store so I don’t see any excuse now.

Good service. Great ice cream! Selection of candy and gifts. Its an old-fashioned ice cream parlor with a little nostalgia from former days. A great place for a yummy treat for anyone of any age. Who doesnt like ice cream and sweets?

Always a great place to get ice cream! You can sample before you buy. Even better when its about a 1 block walk from my house

Review №28

Not as good as Baskin-Robbins, but its in a great location. Its nice to get a scoop and then window shop up and down the main Crystal Lake drag. Cheaper than BR.

Employee was very friendly and personable. Came the the store late in the evening and was happy to help us. Ice cream is yummy.

Review №32

The ice cream is good and the staff is friendly. The deals may not be amazing but its a great place to bring friends or family. If a school event just got out expect crowds, otherwise its usually pretty quiet.

I’ve been going here ever since I was a kid and it is great! If you are a chocolate lover I highly recommend the “Illinois pothole.”

Review №35

During the crystal lake parade holiday parade, we stopped in for a bathroom break. We walked in and asked to use it and the young guy behind the counter pointed us to the back, we thanked him and headed back. We walked our three girls in back so they go and while the girls took turns the women working in the shop was cursing and yelling about us using the bathroom, (there is no sign posted anywhere in or on the store saying that the bathroom is for patrons only.) We had planned on buying hot chocolate before we left but instead We hurried the kids and made our way to the exit. The woman that was cursing started yelling at us as we left the store. She was extremely rude and unprofessional. This is somewhere we stop every year during the parade, NEVER AGAIN. No one deserves to be treated this way and the way she was swearing unexceptionable. Don’t patron this place unless you want to be verbally assaulted.

Husband loved his butter pecan. I had the strawberry, which was way too sweet for my taste and I ended up throwing it away. Overpriced, but okay.

The staff was really patient and friendly. In the summer, the location is open late. They have many flavors of ice cream to chose from. Will be going back!!

Worked there for a few years in highschool. When I worked there the staff was paid below minimum wage (if you were under 18) due to some legal loop hole about small businesses.Make sure you tip if you like the service.

I have had positive times there but the workers put little care in and they have kicked people I know out of the place. Hence the rating.
