    I hate writing this review because I grew up going to Homer's Ice Cream. As a little kid, when it…read morewas just a small neighborhood shop, going there was a special treat. Back then, the ice cream was outstanding, and the experience matched its reputation. Today, I live in Glenview, so we usually go to Oberweis because it's much closer. Their ice cream is consistently excellent, and the stores are always clean and well maintained. We decided to give Homer's another try the other night, and it was honestly very disappointing. The building looks like it hasn't been updated in years. The paint is peeling, the ceiling tiles are stained and dirty, and the entire place feels worn out and neglected. After all the success Homer's has had over the decades, it's surprising that more hasn't been invested back into the store. Even more disappointing was the ice cream itself. I don't know if the recipe has changed, but the texture and overall quality were nowhere near what I remember. It honestly reminded me of inexpensive, mass-produced ice cream rather than the premium product Homer's was once known for. Of all the local ice cream shops in the area, this was my least favorite experience. It's really a shame because Homer's was once an institution on the North Shore with an incredible reputation. I sincerely hope the owners take a hard look at both the condition of the store and the quality of the product. This place deserves better than what it's become. Unfortunately, after this visit, I won't be returning.

    We love seeking out local ice cream shops whenever we travel, and we've probably visited around a…read morehundred over the years. We know not every place is going to be a home run, but Kilwins in Evanston had one of the worst price-to-quality ratios we've ever experienced. The prices were shocking. We paid $66 for three tiny scoops and three small scoops. Even the cheapest single scoop was over $9, and if you wanted two flavors in one scoop, you had to order the larger $11 option. I've been to plenty of premium ice cream shops that charge more than average, but this felt completely out of proportion to what we received. The selection was also underwhelming. There weren't many flavors, and nothing stood out as particularly creative or memorable. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was the ice cream itself. It seemed like it may have been made with quality ingredients, but every flavor we tried was overwhelmingly sweet. Instead of tasting balanced or rich, the sweetness drowned out everything else. We don't mind paying premium prices when the quality justifies it, and we certainly don't expect every ice cream stop to become a favorite. But after visiting so many great ice cream shops over the years, this was easily one of the most disappointing experiences we've had. Between the extremely high prices, limited selection, slow and blah service, and mediocre ice cream, we won't be back. Maybe their other stuff is good. But the ice cream portion of the store is best avoided.
