The only drawback is the pricing -- since it's charged by weight, things can add up quickly. Still, it remains a fun outing when you're in the mood for frozen yogurt.

Stopped here in Algonquin for some frozen yogurt on Veterans Day. It is bright, cheerful, and cute…read moreinside. I have never been here, but glad I came in. Basically you fill your cup up with your creation and it is weighted for purchase. I price is $0.71 per ounce. There are 14 different flavors of froyo to choose from and a generous variety of toppings to pick from. The machines are self serve and the middle handle will swirl the two flavors of that machine if you wish. It's sugar everywhere! Diabetics please don't hurt yourself in here. The kids love it here as I saw many rotate in and out during my short visit. I had pineapple and peach sorbet. It was so sweet, tangy, and flavorful. This is definitely the spot to satisfy any sweet cravings. I am going to come back especially when the weather is warmer. This location has a lot of support for the community especially the children, so please come by and show support.

The guy who took our order was very nice and pleasant. My husband and I decided we're gonna split a cheeseburger and maybe get dessert afterwards if we're still hungry. They have amazing desserts. We used to get them all the time at their old location. Highly recommend you come here and give this place a try. If you're a fan of The Original Nana's restaurant in Streamwood, you will love Van's. Huge portions and great flavor! The burger was hot and juicy and the fries were hot, crispy, and salty. So yummy!

It's that time of year! Great quality custard!…read more Julie Ann's has been our favorite custards since moving here since 2022. It's local and a great place to hang out. Anytime we recommend a place for dessert this is the first in mind. Service is quick and honestly the greatest concept you can wait in your car and they come to you?! Haha seems like most places are doing this but because the influx of folks and people loving this place as well I think it's a great in and out concept.

The location is so small and cramped, they need a bigger storefront. I got a brownie sundae and added bananas and it was nothing crazy. There was barely any bananas for the price they charged me extra. The hot fudge was not even "hot" and the brownie was nothing special. They offered a pint of coconut but when I asked if they had that flavor they said no. I wouldn't recommend unless it's the only place you're willing to drive to.

Riverbottom Ice Cream Co. is a little hidden gem located in downtown Algonquin. The ice cream is…read moremade in very small batches and is some of the best around the area! There's a small seating area inside but plenty outside. Parking is on the street and nearby lot. I tried the coffee toffee crunch and it was really good. Not too sweet and a good amount of toffee. The portion size is generous. They specialize as a coffee barista and also sell fresh roasted coffee bean as well. It's well worth the drive in my opinion to enjoy REAL ice cream!

I am absolutely going to be going back to see what some of their holiday offerings will be! However if you do go there and they have the raspberry habanero, it's definitely at least worth a taste! I will say that the heat does build! I will say that the heat does build while you are eating it, but it was delicious! In addition to fun flavors they also have fun ice cream cone options as well!

You are welcomed to sample any of the flavors and cost is determined by weight of ice cream. Unlike other places, toppings can be added for free after you pay for your ice cream. They had a variety of sauces, candies, sprinkles, and even offered complimentary coffee. I sampled a variety of flavors and really enjoyed the Twix Bar, Marsh-Mallow Smores, Salted Caramel Blondie but ultimately chose the Boston Cream Pie. My only drawback was staff could have been happier, the floors were a bit dirty, and toppings counter was a bit disheveled. They also promote most ice cream flavors as "Howling Ice Cream" but some containers were clearly marked as Haggen-Dazs. Either way, I enjoyed my ice cream and would revisit! Tip: They did have (3) non-dairy ice cream flavors on top of many sorbet flavors.
