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.

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.

After people use their machines for frozen yogurt they wipe the machines spouts with the same rag contaminating the other flavors with each other.

Great selection of toppings and yogurt flavors. All are awesome. I didn't know this until the worker grabbed the spoon and gave me a dirty look but Kids under 7 shouldn't pour toppings alone. This makes sense given the fact that my 5 year old got ice cream on the bottom of the serving spoon but instead of forewarning me or pointing to the sign I had this worker given me a straight up anxiety attack as we passed through toppings. She kept going "ahhhh.." haha. I took care of the rest of the toppings for my kid but this took a star away for me. I'll come back knowing this for the future. They do a great job!

The few times I have been here, I have had good experiences and enjoyed the ice cream. They offer Homer's ice cream from Wilmette, IL. Homer's is one of Chicagoland's best local ice cream shops. They have good quality ice cream and awesome flavors. The ice cream is creamy and has a good flavor. Their Banana Macadamia Nut is my most favorite. I also like their Coconut, Butter Pecan, Triple Berry, and Bourdeaux Cherry flavors. Their Tuesday special of Bring Your Banana for a banana split for $5 is a great deal. We love it. The service is always friendly. The shop's decor is nice and welcoming. The menu pricing is reasonable and the value for what you pay is really good. Check out Sugarville if you haven't before.

There is not a lot of sitting spots inside or outside - I wish they would add more. There's not a lot of walking space outside so it's not like you can go eat your ice cream outside either. Outside of that, the ice cream flavors are unique and diverse. The drinks are really good too. So from eating standpoint it's a really solid ice cream place! Service tends to move fast enough as they do have good number of people coming through.

The owner, Amanda, is incredibly sweet and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. She knows all the ingredients that go into her food and drinks.

Excited to see this new local business grow. Also, did I mention how authentic their Brown Sugar Boba tastes ?! 5 out of 5 stars! :) This place is also good for kids to stop by and purchase a fun book home to read!

I've had great experiences before, however this experience the worker didn't want to be there. She gave a very audible sigh when I placed my order of a shake. Then she said audibly after blending it and spilling some "this is why I hate making this drink". The milkshake was the cold brew coffee shake. When I got the shake it seemed different, it seems she didn't put nearly enough ice cream. The shake was a cold brew coffee drink with creamer basically. Based on this experience I don't think we'll be coming back.
