We stopped in here after dinner for a quick scoop of ice cream. They have a wide array of flavors and the person working the counter was kind and generously provided us samples. We got a scoop of the "Oscar the Grouch" and "Cookie Monster." The ice cream was good, although the Cookie Monster was more food coloring with cookie bits than anything else. The amaretto and pistachio flavor of the Oscar was pretty good. This is a good spot if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Stopped in for a quick scoop for our walk back. Nice little cozy spot on Madison. Many flavors to choose from but I went with the lavender and my friend had the vanilla. Server was very friendly and had our scoops ready in no time. We sat outside. Nice little patio set up with an outdoor to go order counter. Ice cream was nice and refreshing. read more

A cozy neighborhood ice cream parlor with a nice variety of ice creams, including soft serve. It's a small shop with only two tables, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot rather than a place to sit and enjoy your ice cream. The service was okay. The gentleman working was amazing and clearly doing his best, but I thought it was a bit surprising that there was only one employee on a weekend. This parlor could have gotten more business, but I saw several customers walk in and then leave after noticing the long line and only one worker. I think they should consider hiring more staff on weekends. I felt bad for the worker because it was clear he was stressed. read more

For sure it's good ice cream but is it worth it? It can get expensive for small portions. Cone Gourmet is located on Madison in West Loop. Good place for hipsters to show off pics with them eating ice cream. The place has kind of an Irish theme. A popular place in a popular area. It's not that big so it may be impossible to get a seat inside. There's a few by the window. Has a pretty good amount of flavors. It's about $6 a scoop. A lot for a little. There's a few vegan flavors and sorbets including the Pomegranate Iced Tea. Has a lot of Irish flavors. There's ones made with Bailey's and more. Cool place literally. It's expensive but the flavors are good especially if you like Irish stuff. There's even a few sorbets for vegans. read more

They have an area on the side where you can enjoy your cold cream sitting down and of course you can walk around the neighborhood and enjoy, like myself. Staff is always helpful in helping you select flavors. There is a flavor flight of four as well if you want multiple tastes. I highly recommend! read more

They have a ton of fun flavors and the staff is knowledgeable about everything. This would be a great place to come if you have allergies because everything is clearly marked and the staff knows the ingredients. Overall this is a cute neighborhood spot with a casual side patio. It can be a little bit on the expensive side for a scoop of ice cream but if you are looking to try a fun flavor, this is the place to go in the area. Tonight I tried Circus Circus which was a frosted animal cracker flavor. They did not have rainbow sprinkles which I found kind of strange for a ice cream shop but it was delicious anyways. read more

You can even choose to get a flight of 4 if you can't pick just one! I ordered the pomegranate blueberry ice cream, which tasted like black raspberry but more fruity. They let you sample flavors which I love. There is some indoor seating, and there is also a cute patio with picnic tables. read more

I've had ice cream from here a few times and every times it's good. They're consistent with their flavors and even offer a variety of vegan/dairy free options. The mint chip is my favorite (the Cookie Monster is over hyped and I don't recommend) The prices are kinda expensive for the ice cream but you do get a a lot so it evens out. They also have a very cute outdoor patio with lights and tables. Next time I want to try one of their sundaes! read more

We ordered the Cookie Monster and caramel macchiato, both were good! Great service. The shop may seem small but if you walk to the back there's a bigger room. Single scoops $5.30, waffle cones $1.50 and toppings $1. It is family owned and located in a popular area. Would try again! read more

They had many different flavors to choose from and they were all interesting and unique. The nice guy behind the counter recommended the bee sting. I tried it out and it was great!

I seriously don't understand why you'd invest in the rent, real estate, decor, etc only to have tiny print menus posted in the back. I also don't understand how such unfriendly people can work at an ice cream shop! I *only* asked if they were doing samples because a lot of places still aren't and the guy looked like he was going to start a fight with me while rolling his eyes and giving me so much attitude. I mean, I get there's a labor shortage...but....there's also such a thing as human decency. I had another question but seriously thought this guy was going to punch me so I didn't ask it. Anyway, what I don't understand the MOST is the hair in my ice cream!!!!! Gross!!!! And yeah...as the reviews here already say....the ice cream is pretty mediocre. Cheap cream, etc. So, all around a pretty bad experience. read more

We passed on Jeni's when we saw the line down the block, so we were delighted to find another place that looked great close by. The women working here looked stressed, hot and over it. No line, which was great, but when I asked which flavors they were out of, they waved at the cooler and said "anything that's not there". Ohhhkay. There might have 5 flavors left. Tragic and bottom of the barrel. Maybe the owners should have more supply on hand. And maybe have a convo with their employees to have a personality and be actually helpful to the people who are paying. Just sayin. I do not recommend. Bummer. read more

One of the influencers I follow on Instagram, @suzywitdascoop, posted about her visit to Cone Chicago. Perfect spot for my boyfriend and I to try (we don't play about our rainbow sherbet). Small cute ice cream shoppe. I ordered the green apple sherbet (I really wanted the passion fruit sherbet but it was sold out) and my boyfriend got the birthday cupcake ice cream. Both were soo good. His birthday cupcake ice cream wasn't too sweet. He really enjoyed it. The green apple sherbet wasn't too tart. It was so refreshing eat on that hot summer afternoon. One thing I'm not crazy about is the parking. This is a neighborhood ice shoppe. Most of their customers are walking as they live around the corner. We had to park a couple of blocks away because west loop parking in general sucks. If you don't live in the area, you're circling the block for parking. read more

We passed by Cone our way over to dinner one night and knew we wanted to come back for a visit afterwards. This cute little shop shares affinity towards my favorite color green for the sake that they are an Irish owned business with many Irish influenced flavors. Sign me up! Inside the shop are two main sections where you're able to pick out and sample some of their in-house ice cream flavors. With ones ranging from "Irish Mint Chip" to boozy fellows Jameson and Guinness, your curiosity will linger to really figuring out which ones you want. I tried the later and definitely recommend our whiskey friend over the country's beer staple if you were to pick one or the other. Now, the ice cream was pretty good but it didn't have that same artisan texture or quality that I'm used to at other fancy ice cream parlors. Some flavors tasted like they had just added flavoring to vanilla ice cream. One scoop sets you back $4.75 and they do not allow you to do "half scoops" of two flavors. Bummer! Being a smaller shop too, they also seem to take care of multiple guests at a time which can be cumbersome if you're trying to sample while picking our your actual final flavor verdict. Overall, good ice cream shop with Irish flavors but you'll probably find better quality ice cream elsewhere. read more

Great ice cream shop on a (Madison) street of restaurants! It's a small space so depending on busyness, you may have to eat to go. I think the uniqueness of their ice cream is it is not as sweet as most other ice cream shops. That probably appeals to parents the most. It has a thick, slow churned consistency. I don't think they use anything fancy like African vanilla bean but whatever. I like their Bailey's Irish cream flavor! read more

I get why they limit customers to trying five samples, but it is a little disappointing. They have lots of lovely and intriguing flavors, and it seems silly that the reason I'd be stuck with one I don't love is because of their limit. The staff was nice though, and as polite as they could be, so not a knock on them. Just a lame policy. My friend and I ended up sharing two scoops - one of Jameson and one of Marshmallow Delight. The Jameson was altogether too boozy for me, and the Marshmallow Delight was good but not great. I had to pick it because I'd tried five flavors and not Loved any, and this one was okay. All in all, I'd pass by if I was in the mood for ice cream and not too far, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to go here. I do appreciate their array of flavors and the fact that they have toffee caramel soft serve. The promise of something better makes it likelier I'll give this place another chance, so I like that. read more

This is one of my favorite ice cream spots in the city! I love their Irish-inspired flavors like Bailey's and Jameson but my all time favorite flavor they have is COOKIE MONSTER. It's bright blue so your blue tongue will leave you feelin like a kid and the flavors are amazing. It's got cookie dough, Oreos, chips ahoy cookies, and more! Another plus is you have so many sundae-type options to add (hot caramel, hot five, a variety of nut options, etc) to any ice cream. Lastly, they have a cute outdoor patio where you can relax with your sweet treat. read more

I really want to like this place because honestly, who doesn't like ice cream? However I've been here twice and each time I've gotten a weird feeling (hard to explain). There is really nothing gourmet about this place. I feel like they tried to make it a cute little ice cream parlor, but things just feel a little off to me. They have some seating, but the tables seem to be dirty. They also have some throw pillows lying around on the benches but those are covered with spills and look like they haven't been washed in ages. The most recent time I came here was on a Saturday night. The line was pretty long and went into the back room. While waiting, we were able to see the back. There was a larger room with some larger tables- I'm assuming this is for parties? The line moved pretty quickly though but from there, there was no way to see all the flavors available. Usually at ice cream shops, I'm able to make a decision while waiting in line, but here, when they asked me what I wanted, I had absolutely no idea because I couldn't even see the list. As for the ice cream- they have a wide variety of flavors. However they're all named very unique names that make it hard to know what the exact flavor of the ice cream is. I got the 101 Dalmatians, which is like a cookies n creme. My fiancé got the Bailey's ice cream. We both asked for it as a shake since we didn't want to deal with melting and stickiness, and they looked at us like we were crazy for ordering the shake. I mean, it's on their menu so why is it surprising that people will ask for it? I do like that they have an outdoor seating area, but it was pretty crowded when we were there. read more

Came here around 10pm on June 3rd. There were 2 very young men working behind the counter. Only 2 other customers (two young women) in the store already served and eating their ice cream. Both of the employees behind the counter ignored myself and my friend as we waited to place our order. Instead, the two young men directed all their attention at flirting with the two women eating their ice cream at a table. We stood there for several minutes waiting for service from one of the two employees in an otherwise largely empty store. Mediocre ice cream and absolutely terrible service. Go to Jeni's just a few blocks away. Better ice cream, better service. read more

Went solely for their fruit and red bean shaved ice. The ice could've been finer (I had to chew on…read moresome larger shards of ice which wasn't pleasant), but otherwise we enjoyed it, and I was very happy to see that it had all the makings of an old school patbingsoo with both fruit and red bean, as well as mochi and ice cream, which is rare nowadays. It was pricey but enough for 2 people to share. Metered parking on a weekend evening was easy. My only complaint is that it had a strange, unpleasant smell inside (we were there in the evening during the weekend of April 25th). Also, when I came a few years ago, it had a really cozy, welcoming vibe packed with comfy couches. Now, it just looks like basic tables and plastic chairs, lacking comfort, character, and charm. I'm hoping to return to try the sweet potato latte and the other shaved ices, but I hope they do something about the smell and make the space feel more cozy and inviting.

Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop

My family and I are visiting Chicago from Los Angeles. We wanted to stop by and experience the…read morelatest chocolate and ice cream options that Ghirardelli had to offer there in downtown Chicago, Illinois on May 31, 2026. I definitely bought every single chocolate option so that I may be able to bring it back home. Our night was best served by Madeline, or otherwise best known as 'Maddie.' She was truly amazing and her customer service was incredible. I wanted to let Ghirardelli know of her hard work and dedicated customer satisfaction. It's the smallest gestures that truly make the biggest difference. Thank You

Overall: Delicious ice cream with a high price tag…read more The good: Rich and delicious, it definitely meets the high bar with the Ghiadelli name. The portion sizes for the sundaes were massive, and I couldn't finish (which is pretty rare for me, especially for ice cream). The order and checkout process is very streamlined and straightforward, and the service was friendly. Open later than other spots nearby. The not-so-good: Very expensive. I wish they would knock a third off of the price for also knocking off a third of the portion size.

Margie's Candies

I had a super special date at Margie's with my 2 year old, and we had the best time ever. What I…read morelove about Margie's is that it's frozen in time. It's pretty small inside, there are only a few tables. A server comes to your table to place your order, which I feel like never happens at ice cream shops anymore! The menu is huge! There were multiple sections to banana splits, sundaes, and shakes. We decided to go with something simple. My son ordered 2 scoops of cookies n cream ice cream (with sprinkles of course) and I got moose tracks! The ice cream is the real deal. Our server was super sweet, and we were in and out of there in probably 30-45 minutes. We had the best time and will definitely be back this summer.

It's a small restaurant but we managed to snag a cozy table near the back. We'd already spent most of the day eating, so we decided to share the Atomic Fudge Sundae. It's a fairly enormous concoction. I found it interesting that the hot fudge was served on the side, but it's actually pretty smart because you get control how much (or how little) sauce you get. The ice cream is the highlight. It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.

My favorite, along with many others, is the iced banana bread latte. Definitely get it with the vanilla cinnamon cold foam! I've had a variety of pastries here, but particularly love the coffee cakes and cookies. The breakfast sandwich is also really great if it's fresh. The staff for the most part have been very warm and friendly. If it's busy, they are less likely to want to chat about the options and give a recommendation, so come in with a few ideas of what you're looking for if you come on a weekend! The store itself is very cute, with lots of wood and warm colors. There is limited seated outside on a few benches. I recommend walking to the park to enjoy your treats and coffee.

She recommended a Bolognese Danish, a Dubai pistachio brownie, and I added an everything bagel and took it all to go. The Danish was by far my favorite. The pastry was flaky, heavenly, and the filling rich and meaty. This is a pastry worth crossing town for. The brownie was fine, but maybe I'm over the Dubai chocolate trend. It didn't really come together as a unified dessert for me. I wanted the brownie to be richer, fudgier, maybe even a bit sweeter. I would probably get something else next time. The everything bagel was a good texture, but the fennel seeds in the seasoning took me so far away from the classic "everything." They overpowered the other flavors, but the texture was fantastic. Overall, I enjoyed the treats I got, would go back to try some other options. I would probably give this 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up. Also want to add how much I miss Hot Chocolate!

They didn't have a huge flavor selection, but they covered the basics (vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, hazelnut etc). I chose the pistachio and it was so good and really satisfied my sweet tooth. They did samples when I visited, so I tried the goat cheese caramel, but it was a bit too tangy for my taste. There isn't much indoor seating, but they have cute, little patio seating just outside. Parking isn't ideal if you're coming from a long ways away, but I'm guessing a lot of their customers live close by to walk to it. We may have to visit again before we leave, but high recommend!

They were annoyed and short when explaining what some flavors were when I asked. There was a constant awkward and weird feeling while we were there. We got their Goat Cheese Cashew Caramel and Malted Vanilla Pretzel. The gelato is much prettier than it is tasty. The pretzel was the better of the two, but that doesn't say much. The texture was more like ice cream and it was not satisfying overall. Pricey considering the lack of quality and flavor.

I initially wanted to get a dinner reservation, but wasn't able to snatch one up even a couple weeks in advance. Spontaneously, my friend and I decided to go for lunch a couple Sundays ago. The weather conditions weren't great as it was raining moderately. This probably deterred at least some people from lining up. I got there around 12 PM and waited for about an hour, which is still long, but not as horrific as I thought. I also ended up with the last breakfast sandwich ticket since the group in front of me decided it wasn't worth it to wait in line so they gave it to me. This basically was the sign for me to stay in line. The ordering process was pretty simple. We ordered at the counter and prayed that there would be seats opened. Initially, we made ourselves comfortable at the bar, but we were able to migrate to a table shortly after. Our drinks came out within a few minutes after ordering and our food came out within 10. 12 OZ OH, HOT YAM! - 6.85 Initially, this was the drink I ordered. However, I thought it was too sweet and didn't feel like the ube flavor was that strong. My friend liked it more than the drink she ordered, so we ended up swapping. ICED BLACK SESAME LATTE - 6.85 This was the drink I swapped for, and the iced version was perfectly refreshing and nutty. It also wasn't too sweet. I would prefer a roastier black sesame flavor, but this was good enough. LONGANISA, EGG, AND CHEESE SANDWICH - 12 The breakfast sandwich didn't love like it'd be anything special, but the bun was incredibly soft and fluffy, with a custard, soft egg. The longanisa was well-seasoned, with the sweet & savory flavors bursting after each bite. I can see why the breakfast sandwiches at Kasama are so popular. Would highly recommend if you're able to snatch one. PORK BELLY ADOBO - 19.50 This item is weekend only, so I had to try it! I also love a good adobo rice. Despite it being pork belly, it was surprisingly not too heavy or fatty. The poached egg mixed in made each bite creamier. The pickled vegetables and chopped scallions were a nice touch to add a bit of tang and aromatics. I did take home half of the rice bowl home to enjoy for breakfast the next day. While this was good, it was probably the weakest of the three food items we ordered. FILIPINO BREAKFAST - 19 +1 for combo (longanisa and tocino) My friend ordered this, which came with a serving each of longanisa and tocino, a bed of garlic rice, sunny side up egg, pickled vegetables, and garnish. I had a bit of both meats, and the tocino was definitely my favorite. It was juicy, a good mix of sweet and savory -- reminded me of the Cantonese BBQ pork belly. I would definitely order something with tocino upon future visit. This was a pricy lunch, but the food was good and tasted cleaner than I had expect. I had a great time trying brunch at Kasama and would love to visit for their dinner menu when I'm in Chicago again.

BREAKFAST: 10/10 pastries and breakfast. Excellent value, delicious pastries and excellent coffee…read more I especially liked the blueberry muffin since it's just the muffin too without the whole muffin. FINE DINING AT NIGHT: 5/10 rating. Considering Alinea is 2 stars and similarly priced, I felt like a few things were lacking. The first issue? I left very hungry. The whole meal lacks any actual meat except two pieces of bird, which are small. The other dishes were primarily seafood or vegetables. I left at 70% capacity of fullness. Regarding the actual food, the quality was solid and the ingredients were excellent. The caviar was delicious, although the design of the small bowl and big bowl made it very annoying if any of your caviar came out you'd have to lift the small bowl out to scrape it. The next seafood platter had fresh shrimp and the toast was excellent with the sour cream. Tasted like a potato chip! The spring roll was unique and required you to roll it up. It's small but packs a good punch. The cabbage with Wagyu barely had any meat, so it was just a bite. The soup was very delicious and hot in temperature. The mackerel is small but fresh. Very good soup. The pancake dish was very unique and enjoyable with the pork. My favorite was the crumb dish with mushrooms. The crumbs were delicious. There were a few small oysters in it. If there were a few chicken bites it would have been perfect. The ending bird dish was tiny. I expected the whole bird to be cooked and many more pieces, but it included two bites and one leg with mushrooms. I thought one or two additional protein dishes were needed. I was at 60% full at that point and it went straight to desserts. The croissant with truffle was delicious with honey. Could have eaten 6 of those. The banana pudding really felt like delicious street food. The frozen shaved ice was delicious with the chocolate underneath. The white chocolate dessert and cracker were light with guava. It felt like the meal heavily overindexed on dessert and not actual entrees. Overall, for 1 star and $200 range I would have given this 9.5/10. But for 2 stars and $325, with a comparison with Alinea and other 2 star restaurants I've been to, this fell short. Increase the food portions and decease the dessert volume. The staff are highly attentive and well trained. Dinner took 2.5 hours.

The crust was thin and crispy, with a large air cavity, making it very soft and fluffy. The salted egg yolk has just the right balance of sweetness and saltiness, and wasn't too cloying. Garlic Cheese Brioche Bun蒜香奶酪麵包: Perhaps its more Taiwanese name is "八蒜包" (Eight Garlic Bun). Its appearance and taste were very similar to those I've had at Taiwanese bakeries in mainland China. The cheese and garlic flavors were very strong, but the bread itself was slightly coarse. Hojicha Latte: The whole milk was very milky, but the hojicha flavor felt a little weak.
