We came in for shakes and left completely blown away. I had the churro shake, my sons had the banana and Oreo -- all three were incredible. Not your average ice cream shop shakes. These things are next level. The shop also has a very cool old school ice cream shop vibe. But honestly, what made the experience was the two people working. A young lady and a young man who were both so attentive, patient, and genuinely helpful. They let us try a few flavors before we ordered, walked us through everything, and never made us feel rushed. That kind of customer service is rare anywhere, let alone at an ice cream shop. If you're in the area and haven't been here yet, you're missing out. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

This is a cute little downtown area, and unfortunately, it's barren on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Which worked well for us as we showed up and no one was there. Just us, which gave us plenty of time to sample the various flavors, and chat with the person working in this cute little ice cream shop. They can make all these cute shakes and sundaes with all kinds of toppings, but seeing as we aren't young kids, there's no way we could eat confections such as what I listed above. Instead, we got to try their various flavors. Thinking back, I believe I got a watermelon ice cream. I could be wrong. However, I do remember how juicy, fruity, and sweet the ice cream was. Not sweet like overly sweetened lemonade that puckers one's lips, but like the sweet sensation of a perfectly ripe watermelon, bursting with succulent. flavor. It was like that. And man was it good! If I lived in Riverside or close by, I would be there all the time. So thankfully, we were out for a drive and wanted some ice cream and found this cute little shop. They have a few small tables inside, but what makes this a town square right out of the 1950s are the cute little wireframe tables and chairs they had outside along the sidewalk so you can sit and enjoy your cone, and people watch. And we did just that. If I'm nearby again someday, I'll definitely pop in and grab a delicious cone. There flavor options were plentiful, whimsical, and flavorful. However, for the time being, I'll just post this review and hope others pop in to enjoy the cones and flavors they're providing.

I guess one brother made chocolates the other made ice cream. I first had Homer's in 1981 as I lived on the Northshore.

I'll have to try more flavors. Homer's cappuccino chip is better than the Hershey, but enjoyed the small bits of toffee. She's keeping the late hours too. Also will have to try a malt. Might just have to bump it to a 5, vs 4.5.

The last time I had Jeni's ice-cream was when I was in Houston. First thing is first, I love the sample spoons they give you. It's like actual mini silverware- I'm use to wooden sticks. The employees were patient and kind. The inside is beautiful with plenty of seating, but since it was such a gorgeous day I opted to sit outside. And of course the ice cream was delicious. I got the butter cream birthday cake and the honey vanilla. Truly tasty. I'm happy I finally caught up with the rest of the world and discovered this gem at Oakbrook!

As soon as you step into Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, you're hit--no, hugged--by the intoxicating…read morearoma of freshly made waffle cones and sugary goodness. It's like walking into a dessert dream. The air is thick with nostalgia, the kind that instantly transports you to carefree summer days and childhood joy. I ordered the waffle cone bowl with two scoops: Darkest Chocolate and Salty Caramel and let me tell you, this duo is nothing short of divine. The Darkest Chocolate is no ordinary chocolate. It's rich, bold, and almost sinful in its depth, think melted chocolate bars and midnight cocoa stirred into velvet. The texture? Silky and dense, like a frozen truffle that melts on your tongue with a whisper of bitterness that balances the sweet. Now the Salty Caramel, this was the real surprise. Buttery, golden, and complex, it hits your palate in waves: first sweet and creamy, then a punch of sea salt that makes your taste buds sit up and pay attention. The caramel is clearly slow-cooked, giving it that deep, toasty flavor with hints of vanilla and brown sugar. The waffle cone bowl was warm, crisp, and laced with cinnamon, adding just the right crunch to contrast the creaminess. The combination of hot and cold, sweet and salty, smooth and crisp was perfect. Every bite was a revelation, and I found myself closing my eyes just to savor the moment. My personal takeaway? If you're looking for more than dessert, if you want an experience this is the place. Do yourself a favor and get the waffle cone bowl. And don't be afraid to mix bold flavors. Trust me, your inner child (and your adult self) will thank you.

I ALWAYS forget how expensive this place is. Almost $5 for a scoop of ice cream with sprinkles.read more

Our kids love sweet treats and they are always looking forward to stopping one on the way home after some playtime. Flavor choices at "Frio Gelato" are great, ranging from anything chocolate to anything fruity. Our younger one likes anything berries, so he immediately picked out mixed berries and strawberry. One of my personal favorites is "tramontana," which is a popular Argentine gelato flavor featuring creamy fior di latte with dulce de Leche. The profile is rich, so get a cup of Americano standby. There are some beverage offerings on the menu. For "cafe-lato," one can request a choice of gelato to be blended in with the latte. The shop itself is clean and spacious with a few tables. Every time we came in, we were the only dine-in patrons so our kids exciting, loud speaking didn't bother too many people (except the very friendly staff...lol). I bet this place will be super popular during summer when people are hanging out on Central Ave. here in Wilmette. Parking is convenient and street parking can be found nearby.
