Akron-inspired flavors gives this artisan ice cream shop an edge above competition. Located in the downtown historic district, it's a bit hard to find, but worth the search. Make sure you ask for samples, and go for the local flavors.

The order counter and many, many flavours of ice cream available at Chill Ice Cream.

Spending the day in downtown Akron, my son and I decided to stop by Chill Ice Cream for a frozen treat. Initially my son refused to enter the establishment, because he said the looong stairs descending into the basement and blood-splatter looking splashes of paint on the wall made it look like the lair of a serial killer (I guess that is what I get for letting him watch Stephen King's "It" the night before). Once I finally coaxed him inside, we were both pleasantly surprised to find the interior of the shop to be bright and airy, especially with the large windows facing out on the rear alley. After waiting for the party ahead of us to finish, we asked the server a couple of questions about their very unique flavours of ice cream, but received perfunctory answers at best. Ultimately I selected the Sea Salt Caramel Truffle, while my son got the Sour Cherry Rosewater. Our bill totaled $6, which felt pretty typical. Selecting the least sticky of the available tables, we proceeded to dig in to our ice cream with gusto! Personally I found the Sea Salt Caramel Truffle to be very good, with the rich taste of the caramel nicely balanced by the sea salt. However my son was somewhat less enthusiastic about his ice cream, saying that he felt it was too sweet and not as sour as he expected given the name. While we really liked the wide selection of unique flavours, good tasting ice cream, and general ambiance of the dining room, the serial-killer-lair look of the front entrance stairs, seemingly ambivalent staff, and sticky tables detracted from our experience at the shop. Overall we rate Chill Ice Cream as being Good, and would return the next time we are in the area.

I got the gin and tonic sorbet and it was perfectly refreshing on a hot summer day.

What a treat after a paddle at Nimisila Reservoir. I live about 35 minutes from them, but might make the trip back just for the ice cream. Waylon's must know how to hire pleasant staff. Saw another review complimenting staff demeanor and it was true today as well. The young lady was so pleasant. Can't wait to work my way through the huge buckeye brownie that I brought home for tomorrow. It's huge, so hopefully the boys will help. The store is in a strip mall, so it's fairly unassuming. But it's bright, clean and fun inside. Best wishes to this business!

My order was confirmed and upon pickup they said to let the cake sit out 45 minutes (I wouldn't do that again though bc the cake was melting) I'd just take it out right when ready to serve next time bc it was very sloppy cutting the melting cake, but it was so so good. My husband and kids loved it. It tasted like real ice cream and tasted like authentic food not fake. Grant it I did not read the ingredients. I'd choose this again next.

The peanut butter Oreo hot fudge parfait was ordered because I saw it earlier on the Skoops Facebooks reel and I was intrigued so we drove up from Canton. The ice cream did not disappoint and definitely will be returning again in the future.

Also got the turtle sundae and a nutty buddy parfait. Both were amazingly good. Turtle Sundae was sloppy but it was a 95 degree day. And the nutty buddy was peanut butter custard with chocolate peanut butter and nutty buddy's. Super good. The hot dog was mediocre at best. But that's not what you want when you go there you want ice cream! Service was fine. Parking is right in front. Prices are kinda high but worth it. Go to get innovative ice cream treats. Share them. Cuz that's what to do get your bang for the buck. This is a repeat for sure!

It's a pretty low maintenance little spot with no tables just by the parking lot. For how ancient this place is, they take credit card which I really respect. Cash only places give me the downers. They always have an interesting flavor(s) of the week or day. I've tried banana which was excellent. Their strawberry was kind of meh though. Believe it or not, their vanilla is the best flavor. Their soft serve is just impossibly smooth and they pile it high in the waffle cone. Heaven. I also like that they're open late and there is always a huge crowd even when it's pouring. The Goodyear blimps are nearby too!

Every once in a while I pick my mom up and drive her to Akron just so she can get her Strickland's fix. The staff at Strickland's Frozen Custard are super friendly and you can watch them build your dessert through the windows of this unique ice cream shack. Whether you are a milkshake , sundae, cone, cup or pup cup lover, Stricklands Frozen Custard is worth a try. Even with a rainy and dreary day like today, the traffic and line was steadily hopping. The frozen custard is decently priced. My medium vanilla cone was $5 and the small sundaes including small Arctic Twisters are under $6. There is even a bench or two around the building to enjoy your dessert.

The food is very good. We tried three different wing flavors. The house made buffalo, the Thai chili, and the citrus jerk wings. They fell off the bone and were delicious. I would have to say the best wings I've had, these really did stand out, and would say they are worth trying. They are a bit pricier than other places wings, but the flavor is there. What we really came here for was the burger, we've been trying every place that the Akron Beacon Journal did a tournament for to determine our own favorite, without nostalgia influencing our decisions. The burger was fantastic. The meat is seasoned well and the bread was soft and fluffy. The sauce tasted homemade and unique, but didn't take away from the burger. The pickles on it as well are homemade or made from a company nearby, but they're also very good and different than any you get at the store. I will definitely be back. This was very good on a day where we stopped at 3 places and this happened to be the last.
