I didn't know My Flavor It! Place was in downtown Palatine. It's on a side street and the entrance…read moreis confusing. So, I found it on Yelp and we drove over to check it out. Their location is small, and it was pretty crowded (good for them). They have a wide variety of ice cream treats and shaved ice. We went for the shaved ice. Their portions are large, so a small is pretty big. I had a Pina Colada shaved ice. They do a nice job of rounding the top over the cup, which keeps it from dripping, too. They were generous with the syrup - it blended nicely throughout the ice. It was very good. We sat outdoors - they have several tables outside on the sidewalk. It was fun to talk with people at the other tables and watching people walk by.

Everything about this place was average. My expectation when I go to a local ice cream shop is…read moresoft-serve and hard ice cream with a decent amount of flavors, a few unique flavors. That's not what you get here. This is like a Dairy Queen knock-off but not as good with the exception being they have lots of ices and lots of flavors for those ices. The ice cream is soft serve: chocolate, vanilla, or swirl. And when I asked the two young ladies to put cookies or M&Ms on our ice cream, I was told the toppings don't go on the ice cream. Then what are the toppings for?? The place is small so not great for sitting down and the girl helping us clearly had no idea what she was doing. I know it's probably just a summer job for her so no judgement. I just couldn't get over that toppings were not meant to put ON ice cream at this place. Wish I had gone up the road and tried Daisy's instead.

The interior has a varying combination of bright, nostalgic colors and sells ice cream, candies, toys, and even has a gum-ball machine. The staff was decently friendly and there was no line.

My Flavor It! Place has a big place in my heart because it is HARD to find Hawaiian shaved ice out…read morehere and they deliver. As someone who has an affinity for Bahama Bucks, this place comes pretty close. The shaved ice is slightly more icy and possibly thicker than BB, but definitely better than typical shaved ice place in the area. They have an array of syrups you can add and the option to have ice cream on top and bottom (volcano style). The ice cream is soft serve so it melts a little faster, but the creaminess is there. I do wish they'd switch to a thicker, creamy, scoopable ice cream which honestly wouldn't be a bad choice if they brought in flavors because they could sell them as scoops and give you the option for what flavor of ice cream. There is seating inside and outside, but outside is always my choice because you get to look out at the lake across the street. There's other snack options here, but I haven't ventured to try them just yet. It's a great pick-me-up or a good treat on a hot day.

My Flavor It has a few locations, including this one in Wauconda. A few tables are inside. This is one of those seasonal types of places. Choose from a ton of flavors. It's got custard, ice cream, and shaved ice. There's tons of the flavor syrups. Affordable. It's about $5 to get the shaved ice. This is topped with the syrup of your choice, and there's a few combinations that go good together. Has the Caramel Apple, which is caramel and green apple. There's lots with blue raspberry and the classic flavors. Has good shaved ice and ice cream. It's located on North Main at Hubbard. This place closes for winters.

Here are some thoughts: --We met "Papa" and he's a character. Wearing red and white striped uniform--old school : ) --This place is a real gem, feels like old fashioned, homemade ice cream shop with 41 flavors! --Lots of fun stuff for the kids--toys and squeeze the rubber chicken, etc. --It's not cheap, but I think it's more reasonably priced than something like Kilwin's. --This is a must stop, especially if you have kids or you just like good ice cream : ) --Plenty of inside seating and outdoor games for kids. Highly recommended!!
