I love the homey feel and I love the unique offerings they have for ice cream flavors! I know the flavors rotate so in the pictures that I will be sharing those were the flavors at the time! 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! Great place to take the kiddos! So if you're looking to support a cute, delicious, and sweet (pun intended) small business definitely check them 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.

I've been wanting to try this place for a few years now and finally got a chance. We stopped in for…read morelunch which I thought maybe they had some light sandwiches or something but really it's more like a breakfast place. But that's OK because I had the most delicious ham and cheese croissant. Of all the places I've ever eaten croissants at this was by far the best one ever. Buttery, fluffy, with just the right amount of ham and cheese inside. Just to bite into it was like I bit into a cloud. The person I was with had the poached eggs with smoked salmon on a croissant and said it was outstanding-best ever. It is on the pricey side, but when you're eating niche food like this, you would expect to pay more money. I did buy some pastries to take home for later macarons, and a couple of pieces of cheesecake and a honey cake which were OK maybe not the best. I wish they had had more flavor. The cherries in the honey cake were lacking that great cherry flavor. The macarons were good bigger than usual or what I'm used to but OK. The cheesecake was too dense for me, but the person I was with and others enjoyed them profusely. The place is adorable inside very cozy, small but plenty of places to sit and the person behind the counter couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Check this place out if you're looking for a delicious croissant I would really like to also try the sourdough bread which looked amazing.

Hands down the best Italian restaurant in McHenry County...and easily our go-to for date nights…read more We've been here multiple times, and I can honestly say we've never had a bad dish. The food is consistently incredible, and the portions are huge...you'll definitely be taking some home for lunch the next day. One thing that really sets Cucina Bella apart is the layout and atmosphere. They have three distinct seating areas, and each gives you a totally different experience. If you're looking for a more upbeat, lively vibe, grab a table near the bar. For a quieter, more romantic date night, the main dining room is perfect. They also have an overflow dining area, which is great when they're busy (and they usually are for a reason). The wine selection is excellent, and the bar staff can make just about any cocktail you're in the mood for. Whether you're celebrating something special, going out on a first date, or just want a great Italian meal, this place delivers every time. If you're anywhere near Algonquin and craving Italian, this spot is an absolute must!

I love Teamo! I've tried so many different boba places, and I always end up coming back to Teamo…read morebecause the drinks are just so good. The Pom art makes the space so bright and fun - I've never actually tried it, but if you're crafty, it does look like it's relatively simple. The staff is always so nice and friendly, but what I love most is being able to order directly from the kiosk. It makes it a little easier to look through and try a new drink or customize. The store is always clean and not overly busy, but there's always people sitting at tables chatting. I absolutely LOVE the ube doughnuts that they have. I've tried a few of the different flavors and Ube is always the standout. This location is a little out of the way, but we love going to this one instead.

If you're looking for a sweet treat and a cute spot for boba or coffee, it's definitely worth stopping by.
