I have been coming to Comet since its inception and I have even worked here part time during the day years ago! The custard is consistently delicious, there are plenty of options of sundaes, concretes, shakes, etc. My favorite item as of late is a taste of Disney close to home--their Dole Whip! The staff is always knowledgeable, attentive, and they were patient. The lady in front of me this past Tuesday had what felt like a million questions about Wednesday's flavor of the day, Pumpkin Cheesecake. The patron behind me must have been a regular because they scooped his usual order before he even got to the counter AND they greeted him by name! I like to take co-workers, friends, family, etc. here when I can, especially with a vegan option available! I hope to try the flavor of the day Blue Moon in 2026, I missed it this year. Wedding Cake was amazing, though! read more

Love this place! Been coming here for the last 7 or 8 years! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came here on a Saturday night (Sat. 5/30, at around 7:30)--their lot was full![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was mostly families with kids there, but I only waited in line for 5 minutes and only waited for my order for another 5 minutes! I usually order the Triple Chocolate Concrete with every type of almond and nut they have--it was so wonderfully fresh, smooth, creamy, and deliciously nutty!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is no indoor dining for this place but they've got some outdoor picnic tables you can eat at![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, just about every table was already taken by all the families with kids, so I just ate in my truck (which was fine, since it was a bit chilly outside)![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anyway, I will definitely be back!! So glad this place is still going strong!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a nice neighborhood joint that's popular among the locals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They offer a wonderful of daily flavors besides the usual chocolate and vanilla frozen custard flavors. Their menu offerings including individual scoops, concrete, Sundays, floats, etc. Their pricing is reasonable. The frozen custard is pretty decent in taste and texture. It's a counter service place where you walk up to a window to place your order and do pick up at another window. They also have a drive-thru. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sitting area is on the outside with limited benches.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This establishment gets packed on hot days and at peak hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check them out. read more

This is a family-owned custard shop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone there is friendly, it is very clean, and the custard is amazing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They hire kids from high school, where they teach them to be very customer focused. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is very family and dog-friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ask for a "pup cup" if your dog likes whipped cream. When we had a dog, she loved coming here! Since my 1st review, we have been going to Comet Custard 1-2 days a week, typically. I highly recommend trying it if you haven't yet. Every day they have a flavor of the day, where you can ask for a sample. They also have vanilla and chocolate. They have so many great sundaes too, or you can make-up your own. You can also take home pints and quarts of various flavors. They close for the winter, around Thanksgiving, but you can pre-order special "holiday" flavors including my favorite Peppermint Stick Chip. It is a smooth peppermint flavor custard, with thin chocolate "chips" or pieces. If you want actual peppermint pieces in it, you need to request that ahead of time. So amazing! read more

Love this place. Although close to my home, I did not try for a few years. A friend told me it's better than the famous custard place from Wisconsin (didn't believe that). During Covid, Haagen Daz disappointed me with scaling down the butterfat in their recipes, and increasing their prices. Our motto is we want a great product and understand that quality costs a little more. I loved their coffee ice cream but refuse to buy their currently inferior product. Comet has replaced that now. They make wonderful coffee custard! I need to buy 3 pints and hide one in the extra fridge from my husband if I want some. When Mom came to live with us when she developed dementia, I wanted to bring her as much joy as possible. Comet filled that dream. My Mom could devour their turtle sundae in just a few blocks - she would inhale it before we returned home. Also, Culvers has been nice enough to put aside pints of plain coffee custard. I will notice when they are making a coffee - and just ask if they can reserve for me. Their vanilla and chocolate are Heaven too. They also make a wonderful Butter Brickle (difficult to find these days). Their staff is very courteous and pleasant. read more

We' be driven past Comet Frozen Custard fora couple of years and have never tried it. I honestly don't know why. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is the cutest ice cream shop around![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building is clean, there are plenty of tables to sit at outside and under the awnings and the restrooms are conveniently located.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is the best remodel of an old gas station I have ever seen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are a hundred delicious options, from a simple cone to sundaes, concrete mixers, shakes and malts and banana splits, to name a few. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went in a Thursday afternoon and the place was pretty busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We thought perhaps we might have to wait a bit but the staff are super cute and friendly, got our order in and the wait time was null. This is truly a Rolling Meadows treasure. read more

Comet Frozen Custard - Banana Split - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rolling Meadows, Illinois

The custard is delicious, and there is a wonderful variety of confections to choose from.

Cute cute hangout spot with fun retro vibes for warm summer nights where you want to be out... but not hanging at a random Circle K or 7-Eleven, right Bill? Totally Ted. Um, I'm not a fan of overly sweet ice cream, so I had their "Dole" something... it's a mildly pineapple-ish cup of custard. It was okay. I prefer yogurt or gelato with a citrus kick, so I was not a fan, but the teenage customer service was good. read more

Delicious custard! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe and setup of this location is great too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will go back every single summer!

When we arrived there were no parking so we parked in a drive thru spot that were all empty. While ordering the manager / owner came out barking at everyone to move their cars in the drive thru parking spaces immediately and pointing at people asking if they were the ones parked there. It was unprofessional and embarrassed several people. If I hadn't already paid I would have left and not ordered. Some in our party did not order due to the unprofessional demeanor. I will not go back for this very reason. read more

Was disappointed based on recommendations from friends. The custard is just okay - flavor of the day didn't have much flavor. Nothing special at all stands out. Portions smaller than other places. Saw the owner being rude to customers and the kids working the window - they looked frantic. Wasn't enough parking when we went. Had to park at Jewel across the street. Not enough +'s to want to drive over and try again... read more

The quality of the ice cream is only surpassed by the friendliness of the owners and their staff. Just don't find people as nice as this anywhere else. A must try. Coach jack read more

Best custard in the NW burbs!! Can't beat it. Try the peppermint chip with homemade brownies for the holidays!!

Best ice cream (or should I say custard) around! Fast and friendly service every time.

Been coming here for a few years now. Family owned business with great customer service and great frozen custard and deserts. Recently had the root beer flavor and apple cider frozen custard and it was excellent. Highly recommended! read more

Old fashioned great custard and a beautiful well composed workforce . hometown wonderful

A hidden gem. We recently moved to Rolling Meadows and snoozed on this place because it was kinda unassuming. Grabbed a sundae today and it was fantastic!!! Great quality frozen custard, very thick and very ample on the toppings. We had the peanut butter sundae and it was the perfect blend of salty and sweet. Loved the (very generous) helping of crushed peanut butter cups! Compared to other places like Andy's, we observed the sundae to be a good value!!! Will definitely check it out again soon!! read more

This is the best custard that I have ever had! All of their menu items are great! This shop seems as though it is run by a family and everyone is so nice and their service is so fast even when they are busy. The store itself is very cute with a sort of old school diner feel for custard. They also have a drive though where they have you wait in a parking spot and bring out your order. Ive been going here at least once a week and will continue to do so as it is that good! P.S. They also open for a day during the holidays to purchase to go pints in their holiday flavors. My favorite is eggnog! read more

Ok, it's been a bit and it's time to update my review. After they briskly opened, they learned and grew from why the customer wanted. They have converted the old garage space from the previous building to an indoor walk up, which was needed. Their drive through system is efficient and their outdoor walk up is just as efficient. They have a lot of flavors, including the flavors of the day. They now have chocolate custard and goes great with their mint Oreo or even peanut butter chocolate custard . They are also handling COVID quite well with their drove up service. The lines go out to Kirchoff when you wait for the drive though, but it goes fast! I do wish they had two sizes of concretes. The One size they have is too large and I don't want to pay $7 for something that I'm not going to fully eat (although, I end up paying the $7 for the concrete because I always go back). It's great quality, so it's worth it, but I would like a choice in siz. I'm glad they're here to stay, this place is a new staple in Rolling Meadows. read more

It was honestly just okay. I feel like I've had better frozen custard and this one was nothing to write home about. Perhaps I didn't get the right flavor. read more

Service was pretty fast. I used the drive thru, and was told to drive up to wait for our order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was nice, lots of people outside the restaurant having a good time eating their ice cream.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I only waiting about 2 minutes for my oreo concert ice cream. In terms of taste, I thought it was okay. Nothing special, but I've had better concretes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Probably won't go again, but I like the atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great! Went with the fam to get some frozen custard after dinner. Yum! It was excellent. Very retro style, can't go in, but there are tables where customers can sit as they enjoy their desserts. They have sundaes, ice cream, smoothies, concretes (which I am not sure what they are?) etc. We got the chocolate sundae with strawberries and bananas that we shared with the hubby. Service was prompt, pricing reasonable. I think the place is mostly open during summer times. Parking is free. Would recommend! read more

Comet Is no question the best frozen custard in Rolling Meadows. They offer many flavors of frozen custards, they consistently have different flavor of the days to help you on days you cant make up your mind My favorite thing about Comet is their "indoor" area that opens up in warmer weather. I hope to see this places stick around for a long time read more

Wow, my first time here tonight and it was delicious!

Delicious frozen custard! The best in the area. Highly recommended! You won't be disappointed!

Great custard! It's a little in the pricy side, but for the quality it's justifiable. Awsome staff and a great ambiance! 10/10 would recommend! read more

This place is MY JAM. Yeye. Not kidding, this place fricken excites me. I've been a health care worker at the local hospital for years but just found out about this gem of a place from a patient this summer. They talked highly of it and boy were they spot on. If I die young, bury me in their freezer. Drizzle some chocolate syrup on me. I'm serious. It's that stinkin good. They offer a wide variety of flavors, some may be questionable if you're more of a traditionalist like me. But hey, it must work. My favorites include: Chocolate brownie bite Chocolate peanut butter cup Chocolate Oreo The craving I get for their chocolate custard is likely close to that of a heroin addict. Yee-haw. They have a drive-thru, people. YA. Picture a yellow lab hanging his head out the window of a car on a beautiful summer day, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. That's me when I pull up to Comet and leave with a bag full of frozen dairy. The amount of free advertising I have done for this place is incredible. I talk about them constantly. I deserve a cut at this point. The only downside is their hours (don't open until 3), rotating flavors of quarts and pints (flavors not always available) and it's seasonal. So Comet is basically responsible for my seasonal depression half of the year. But they make up for it the other 6 months. They do a 'flavor of the day' ..that's kind of their signature thing. Follow them on Instagram or Facebook to know before you pull up. Do yourself a favor and go support this small business. You won't be disappointed. And if you are, you're probably sick in the head. read more

Great custard and can't be beat on a hot summer evening. Don't miss the sweet corn flavor the same weekend as the church across the street's corn festival- it sounds weird but it's delightful. read more

Great custard but, being new to the place I didn't know what to expect. They serve vanilla or chocolate custard and a unique flavor of the day. That's it as far as flavors go BUT they have a huge variety of "blizzard" type concoctions and sundaes to choose from! Good and friendly service, too. read more

This might be the only place on earth whose friendly service, timeliness and delicious food rivals most chick-fi-as. Comet is one of my family's favorite local summer spots (also open into the fall and even around Christmas one day)!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We have a lot of kids and they are always warmly welcomed which is greatly appreciated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Comet staff is very friendly, professional, and helpful and we highly recommend it to everyone. You won't regret it and it will quickly become one of your family and friends favorite places! read more

Delicious !! Flavors on point ! Just a little too much sauce on my sundae. Flavor of the day was raspberry and I could taste real raspberry

One of the best experiences I ever had buying either custard or ice cream. Grace is awesome! She has the best greeting and a fabulous personality. Big thanks Grace! Also, the custard here is very smooth and creamy. Fresh fruit too! Go here and he will extra happy. read more
