This is a nice neighborhood joint that's popular among the locals. 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. The sitting area is on the outside with limited benches. This establishment gets packed on hot days and at peak hours. Check them out.

This is a family-owned custard shop. Everyone there is friendly, it is very clean, and the custard is amazing! They hire kids from high school, where they teach them to be very customer focused. It is very family and dog-friendly! 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!

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.

We' be driven past Comet Frozen Custard fora couple of years and have never tried it. I honestly don't know why. This is the cutest ice cream shop around! The building is clean, there are plenty of tables to sit at outside and under the awnings and the restrooms are conveniently located. This is the best remodel of an old gas station I have ever seen. There are a hundred delicious options, from a simple cone to sundaes, concrete mixers, shakes and malts and banana splits, to name a few. We went in a Thursday afternoon and the place was pretty busy. 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.

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.

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!

A fun place for dessert on a beautiful night. The custard is delicious. The only downside is there's not enough places to sit. #iraeats.

Berry Yo is wonderful! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly, and the place is spotless…read more There's a great selection of froyo flavors and toppings--it's such a treat to still have a self-serve froyo shop like this around. We attended a kid's birthday party here and it was a hit! You bring the entertainment, and Berry Yo provides the space and froyo. They even have a list of vendor recommendations if you need help planning. Great location in the heart of downtown Arlington Heights--fun, easy, and perfect for a treat or a celebration. Highly recommend!

I love a nice froyo on a warm summer night, and I stopped here after fajitas at Mago Grill nearby…read more They only have one size of cup which is a little weird but okay. They also have dividers to separate flavors if you prefer. Their selection is wider than a lot of places I've been, with both yogurt and custard-based options. I love fruit-based desserts, and I personally enjoyed the pineapple and vanilla custard flavors together topped with some coconut flakes. It's a bit chaotic and disorganized when a crowd comes in, and checkout can be slow. My ice cream melted while waiting lol Overall it's a convenient place to stop if you're hanging out around here!

No other place has come close to Releaf. It is a perfect mixture with chicory coffee and sweet condensed milk. Every order I have received had the been created consistently the same from day 1. I have been going here for years and I enjoy every cup of Vietnamese I order from Releaf. The service is amazing and the staff members have been very nice and had my order correct every time. It is a small coffee / dessert spot in Mitsuwa and always busy. When there is a line in front, follow the crowd. You know there is something good in there. The wait is always worth it! Yesterday, my brother and I ordered 2 Vietnamese coffees. My brother and I loved our Vietnamese coffees and tasted excellent. The sweet level was perfect. I enjoy mixing the chicory coffee and condensed milk before drinking it. When I get that light brown color during mixing I know that is the right time to drink the coffee. Today, I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee and it tasted excellent. Thank you Releaf!
