Ice cream looks so good and looks so sweet, looks good enough to eat... Neighborhood spot with a nice selection of flavors. Nothing overly fancy but has a lot of nostalgic flavors like Superman. If there is a line usually moves fairly quickly. Parking is usually pretty easy since it's right across from the metra. The metra parking spots are available to the public after a certain time. read more

Every Day's A Sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

Ugh I usually love this place, but tonight was a miss. All of the ice creams in the front case looked picked over, so I decided to get a different flavor than I really wanted because the selection in the case looked so sad. Both my husband and I got a scoop on a cake cone, and his cone literally disintegrated in his hand dropping the ice cream on the ground and my cone had a massive hole in the side. Of the ice cream we ate, there were chunks of freezer burns, and both were rapidly melting down our hands within 30 seconds of receiving our ice cream. For close to $10, I'd expect better - and usually get better, but we haven't been this summer so I hope this was a fluke and not a sign of decline of a local ice cream shop. The fact that I ended up throwing away my ice cream without finishing it says it all - I love ice cream & truly the first time I've ever thrown out a cone without even getting halfway through. read more

Usually enjoy their ice cream but it can be hit or miss. I've had freezer burned ice cream before and that's sad.

First time coming here, i recently stopped here to see what this place to offer. My wife was interested in some of their non-dairy flavors. The restrooms that were featured here were also average at best. Prices on the ice cream are pretty expensive and it didn't feel really worth the money though it's always worth it supporting a small business. It features a small dining room too. They got a few other specials besides ice cream but it's worth stopping in for a quick snack if you're walking in downtown Downers Grove. read more

LICK IT UP This ice cream parlor in downtown Downers Grove appeals to all generations. The cleverly-named Every Day's A Sundae has a home just north of the train tracks on Main St between Gia Mia & Sushi House. There's another location in downtown Hinsdale, also near a BNSF train station. Commuters on the Metra must love getting ice cream after work. Inside, there's seating for 15-20 people plus a couple benches outside. They stock Sherman's ice cream, a beloved place based out of South Haven, Michigan that I've been to several times (I can attest that it's the real deal and not an impostor). They have frozen bananas and icees in addition to over 40 flavors of hard scooped ice cream. I got a single scoop of the "chocomania" ($4) and it was great. Our 4yo loved his simple yet satisfying vanilla cone w/sprinkles ($5) and our toddler enjoyed a few spoonfuls of my wife's birthday cake cone ($4). The young staff were good about free samples and kept a brave face despite a gaggle of screaming kiddos. * TL;DR * You better finish that thing before it melts! If you haven't yet gone out for an ice cream cone so far this season (or dish, I don't judge), what are you doing with your life?? It's been sweltering for weeks, but a double scoop of Mackinac Island Fudge or Traverse City Cherry can properly cool things down. Young kids -- and the young at heart -- flock to Every Day's A Sundae when the weather gets hot, so expect a crowd and/or wait on evenings between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Prices are reasonable and there's lots of flavors to pick from, so swing on by before summer's gone! read more

Value of the scoops is there! A scoop is $3.75, and there are some 35 or more flavors to choose from. French silk was a hit! Can't say I've found that flavor anywhere else. The staff was friendly, and they get their ice cream from somewhere in Michigan. Overall, we enjoyed experiencing this novel ice cream place while in the area for a trampoline play date. read more

A delightful little drive by ice scream shop, where you can grab your sweet treat! Stop by if you grab food in the area and need an ice-cold dessert. They offer shakes, smoothies, etc as well if you do not want a just a mere scoop. The strawberry shake was sweet and delicious and quite thick; all you can ask for. Got a couple scoops of different ice creams and nothing disappointed. read more

Great service and a nice treat for our warm summer days We ordered three flavors , there was the orange cream , blue moon which we couldn't quite figure the flavor out but it was tasty and the cookies and cream that we are now fans of. It all tasted so wonderful and when you walk in and get hit by the wonderful aroma of the waffles being cooked, it's hard saying no to trying one. Overall satisfied and will definitely be back. There's a couple of benches out but sufficient standing spots and seats on the inside to enjoy your ice cream read more

I've came here all the time growing up and always love it! It's located conveniently in downtown downers near the metra and library. There's so many flavors to choose from and the staff are always willing to give you samples (which is amazing when you're indecisive like me haha). My favorite flavor ice cream is Oreo cheesecake! read more

This restaurant exceeded my expectations. Every dish we ordered was amazing. The service was friendly, and they really made us feel welcome. I'll be recommending this place to all my friends. read more

A local business and I like to support local businesses. They have interesting business ice cream flavors. My family loves the Marion county blackberry ice cream. read more

They are not a homemade place and get ice cream from Sherman's in Michigan, and it's great flavor to it like the cotton candy confection was BOMB with little chocolate chips in it. You wouldn't think much of it but it is a BANGER of a flavor! Everything else looked okay but I didn't try much though I'll be back someday. read more

Nice little ice cream shop in downtown downers grove. I like it. Lots of flavors, reminds you of a mom and pop place. I like shakes and they got Mackinac fudge ice cream flavor. It's basically like moosetrack without the peanuts. I really like it. I would definitely recommend this place!!! read more

My initial trip to this shop was a decent experience but I think could be better. Tasty ice cream flavors and sundaes are creative but they were served dripping over the sides of the containers immediately upon being handed over by the employee, so a mess ensued. Not inexpensive, but you're in a nice suburban spot in a prime location and it's good quality ice cream. Next time, I'll try a couple scoops. read more

LOCAL, Homemade Ice cream with many flavors to choose from. Excellent ice cream, friendly staff, generous portions. I had a craving for ice cream and was not wanting the DQ brand so I found these shop on google maps and gave them a try last week. It's located across from the train station and west of the movie house so I'm sure its a busy place at time and you may have trouble finding somewhere to sit inside. The young staff was very friendly and offered samples and suggestions. Make it a point to give them a try as them are a local business. read more

They had many flavors, and the three we ordered (blackberry, chocolate with cherry, and Milky Way) were all delicious, creamy and tasted high quality. The two teens working were super nice, offered a sample, and seemed genuinely happy to work there. They were sweet boys. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it's not updated, and super clean. Also, there seemed to be many options (sundaes, scoops, slurries etc), but not a clear cut menu where everything is simplistically listed. The items seemed all over the place, and not super organized to read. Overall, I think this is a great ice cream shop and can't wait to return. read more

Was waiting for the metra train and decided to get some ice cream... it's 97° out. Ordered the peanut butter cup sundae. It was basically a ton of vanilla ice cream with peanut butter sauce and chocolate syrup. The smallest amount of actual peanut butter cups was also present. In all actuality the sundae wasn't so bad! The part that really disappointed me was the spoon they gave me. It was literally like trying to eat ice cream with a wet noodle. If you're going to serve ice cream that can be eaten with a spoon how about you spend .03 cents more per spoon and give us something we can easily consume the products we just purchased from you! read more

Great icecream and even better customer service! I have a nut allergy. Pretty severe. And we ordered a bomb banana split! Three icecreams. The server made sure to pull out new icecream from the freezer and three scooters for our split! Time consuming and needed a strong arm! Great job!!! And the sundae was very aesthetically pleasing and so yummy! They let you choose three different toppings will be returning! read more

This shop is hilarious! It seems to be a highschool kid hot hangout spot and all the workers seem to be highschool kids. They're a funny bunch in there. Ice cream was served in a cup as the picture shows, but it's really good! They have a lot of cool and exciting flavors making it hard to choose which I wanted. I went with Chocomania and Grasshopper...both were really good! Blue Moon looked very cool and I want to try that in the future! My friend got a cone that was filled so high with ice cream, he ended up just putting it in a dish for us. lol Really a funny little shop with really good ice cream! read more

Only teenagers working on Saturday night. They didn't put my single scoop on the cone and it fell off before I could move. I was told they couldn't replace a baby scoop unless I paid again. The sad thing is they had no problem accepting my tip. To top it off the teenage boy told me he'd still eat it even if it fell onto the floor. Never again will I go there. They SUCK!!! I'd give them ZERO stars if possible. I'm a senior citizen, not someone trying to get a free cone. It's not the money, it's the fact that they would risk a bad Yelp review over $4. Their customer service is definitely a ZERO. I was even nice enough to clean it up for them. Otherwise it would have been left on the filthy floors. read more

It is hard to go wrong with ice cream! They have seasonal flavors throughout the year. A go to in the summer after bike rides and a go to in the winter walking around the village! The young girl working there was so kind, and being cold it was not very busy!! read more

Great place, some of the kids take the job very serious like I take ice cream very serious!! It's all predicated on who serves you, some of the kids are great at scooping And ensure you get money's worth, others not so much!! During weekend the A team works, during week ehh, crap shoot and some of the weak scoopers are there!! Nice place nice people inconsistent scoops:) Enjoy read more

ice cream is fine but the girls that "work" there are the worst. not friendly and on their phones when tables and floors are dirty. I'll stick with Ben and Jerry's read more

Arrived at 630pm sunday 4/28. Was promptly helped. The reasone for 2 stars... Kids working tonight stood around between customers either in back our behind the counter with hands in their pockets. When someone came in they scopped their ice cream with out washing their hands. The ice cream was hard to eat with the plastic spoon. And my daughters cone smashed to pieces twice. Shes 3 not the hulk, a cone should hold up to that. 3 and the worst... the bathroom. It was slightly dirty and the handle was broken off the toilet meaning it could not be flush. I wont be back.. .. read more

I love their ice cream! It is definitely my favorite place to go. Their ice cream is a little more sweet, than most places, but it is fantastic! I love their cookies and cream ice cream in a cup too! read more

Been going here since I was a kid. Ice cream is so good and the prices are fair. A little constructive criticism though, 1 Some of the kids working could use a little schooling on personality like smiling, being friendly and knowing their job so they can answer simple questions asked by customers. 2 The place could use a facelift. It's not very attractive inside and outdated. 3 You need better signage inside promoting your sundaes. Tonight I was asking Mr No Personality before he plopped my sundae on the counter and just walked away what was in the specialty sundaes and he had to read it off a paper taped to the back wall. He didn't even know there was a small board on the counter by the register that listed them. I realized it after I got my ice cream and went to the register. 4 This is the biggest problem. You're using the cheapest spoons there are. They are so weak and soft they bend when you try to dig them in hard packed ice cream and it's difficult to use. Please switch to heavy duty spoons. I sold ice cream for 10 years. They don't cost much. read more

Every Day's A Sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

As someone who has loved stopping at Sundae's when my family is visiting IL, we may choose to go elsewhere. My first job was at Sundae's, many many years ago and there was always a high standard of keeping everything clean. My family and I went in last night, since we are visiting family, and I was disgusted by the cleanliness of the place. The floors are very dirty, bathroom was gross (my 4yo had to use it) and the ice cream freezers needed to desperately be cleaned. Sherman's ice cream is always good, but I was shocked to see how dirty the place was. read more

This is a neat little ice cream shop located in DTDG near the Metra station. They have a wide variety of ice cream flavors and can make sundae, floats, smoothies, etc. They do give free samples so if you are indecisive, don't feel shy to ask to try a few samples to help you with your decision. Tip: I got a "single" scoop on regular cone and it was more like 2.5 scoops. The server mentioned that their single scoop is like a medium. Lots of their flavors remind me of Rite-Aid ice cream but it is a bit pricier than that. read more

None of the ice cream looked fresh and the flavor I got was freezer burned. Also, the inside of the shop looked pretty dirty.

+5 more This ice cream shop is AMAZING. They are all teenagers but so nice and welcoming. My son and I go there EVERYDAY. Today the girl at the front had his cup ready to go and asked what he wanted my day was made just watching my 5 year old order on his own. I am so sad we are moving a few towns over and can't walk here anymore but we are still going to make an effort to come. read more

Decent Ice Cream Parlor in or near downtown Downer's Grove,IL. I admit I could have gone to "Oberweis" or "Baskin Robbins" nearby but was craving for a Mom and Pop Ice Cream Parlor in the Heart of Downtown Downer's Grove. I had gone here once and it did not disappoint me the 2nd time especially coming from Chicago, IL. I had ordered their Spring special flavors of Cotton Candy, Banana walnut Bread and Cake Batter in as waffle bowl. Very delicious. If one is in Downer's Grove and want to try a local family run ice cream parlor than a franchise such as Oberwies, Baskin Robbins, Cold Stone Creamery etc. Please give this place a try. It is a must try. read more

It's ice-cream! What's not to love! So many choices and the price is perfectly inexpensive for an afternoon or after dinner treat. The place is small and the line is usually at the door. The staff is usually friendly and helpful with decision making. read more

The ice cream is very good and the service is quick. A employee named Levi was very responsive and helpful and paying attention to my peer even though there was many people there. It was very quick and easy. The Ambiance is quiet even if there is many people there. :) read more

My husband and I came here after going to the Tivoli to watch a movie. It wasn't very busy as there was only one other family in the ice cream parlor. I ordered a single scoop double chocolate ice cream in a sugar cone. My husband got the strawberry milkshake. It absolutely hit the spot! The chocolate was bold and rich while the texture was firm yet creamy. My husband's milkshake was sweet and thick. He wasn't able to drink it with the straw, but luckily they gave him a spoon. After a little bit of time it melted and became more of a milkshake consistency. Service was a little slow, but there was only one other person behind the counter. Evidently they were in the middle of a shift change because after my husband got his milkshake the lady behind the counter left and another person came out to finish making the orders. The seats are a little run down, but I find that at most ice cream parlors. The location is good making this a great after movie treat spot. read more

Udderly good. (I couldn't resist) They sell ice cream, my kid is a fan of ice cream, sometimes I am too. After a decent afternoon of him and others behaving I wanted to try this place. For a scoop and the atmosphere of when you were a kid, go here. 2 single scoops and a sundae were how much? A little pricier than I expected but at about $5 a person I guess it is good for a specialty shop. The apple turnover and ice cream sundae was fantastic, just the right size for 2 people. The best advantage is the open coolers, the chain in the area keeps everything hidden. It is the excitement of watching kids run back and forth selecting what they want that is part of the entertainment. I will tell you , I keep going back and forth on the rating... 3, no 4, no 3, OK 4 stars. Seating was limited, I wasn't wowed by the environment but I would rather come to a small place like this than a chain. read more
