It has gotten a larger menu with drinks & sandwiches too. More of a something for everyone vibe than before. Still have their fun flavors, cashew caramel goat cheese, but more classics now too.

The Black Dog Gelato is such a cute neighborhood dessert spot. When we went around 10 PM on a…read moreFriday night, luckily it wasn't too crowded, so service was friendly and quick. 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!

Since I'm addicted to chocolate, my choice was the Brownie Cascade milkshake. It was all that hoped for with its creaminess and overload of chocolate flavor. The best part? The price was only $6 and it was well-spent. I have been a consumer for milkshakes for 25 years or so and some places are starting to near the $10 price for a milkshake. If you need an ice cream fix, visit Dog Days in Chesterton.

Quick take: chaotic ordering system…read more This shop is complete chaos in the most disorderly fashion. The ordering stations are in the back of the store and on the left side. The entrance is blocked by tons of people who have already ordered. Order and they call your name to build your order. The gelato melted immediately after walking outside. It was a race to eat it before it all ended up on the sidewalk. I'm not picky about gelato so it was meh.

It's surprising how many places serve ice cream but not gelato- personally I think gelato is superior. It's so smooth! I detest icicles in my creamy desserts. Anyway- back to my review. I found this place when searching for gelato, but was happily surprised that they offer Turkish coffee as well. The location: This place is in a strip mall near the chicago reptile, fish, and bird store. It's like a secret gem you might not find if you weren't searching google for it or in the area. My boyfriend commented that if this were in Tinley Park, it would probably be packed with people, but when we entered, we were the only customers. It's super cute inside! They have several tables, a game area with connect 4, a swing with a green backdrop, and then the ice cream and cafe ordering area. The food: I ordered a scoop of cheesecake gelato with brown butter caramel topping. ($4.49) He ordered a brownie with cookie dough gelato and Ferrero Rocher topping. ($6.99) We both ordered a Turkish coffee but we're recommended to try it with a scoop of vanilla gelato- similar to an affogato but served like an ice cream float. ($6.99) The gelato, brownie, and Turkish coffee were excellent. We will definitely be back. The only two downsides may be the cost ($4.49 for a scoop seems a little high) and that they may make this from a powdered ice cream mix (while we were there they rolled a cart out to a car with a box on it labeled ice cream mix). Even if this is made from a mix, it's still delicious. Oh! And you can try flavors of gelato before making your selection. They also gave us tastes of the pistachio sauce and Ferrero Rocher sauce topping. Of note: They have lotus flavor gelato. The pistachio sauce is delicious. The cookie dough, is not traditional. It almost tastes like TJ cookie butter. The brown butter caramel is not normal caramel. It's tangy.
