They have a lot of VERY cool memorabilia on the walls, which is worth a look no matter what. The staff are super helpful, but the store can get very busy, so have a little patience. The best part of this place is the ice cream, of course. They have a ton of really unique and delicious flavor combinations. Not all are obvious (what is "Exhausted Parent"? But once you know that it's Bourbon-spiked espresso ice cream swirled with bittersweet chocolate chunks, it makes total sense). So ask if you're not sure. Swing by here for a quick treat or a wonderful part of date night!

We'll try some of the sandwiches next time we stop in. We had a Brown Sugar Milk Tea, Taro Coconut smoothie and Oreo ice cream with fish waffles.

We need more retail in downtown Barrington, so we'll be back to support our local shops.

Not sure if it was the owner who gave me a sample of the peanut butter granola and peanut butter chia pudding, but it was a perfect helping just "to try" and, wow, but my heart was warmed when a person of need walked into the place and she she handed him a banana. It was clear that the interaction was routine, but she had no problem giving him something to eat and it made me so joyous to see such a charitable thing. She also spoke to him like a person, not as someone that would be less because he has less. Clearly this place is run by a good person too. Bonus: the young man behind the counter made a little too much for my small smoothie so upgraded my size at no charge. Thank and God bless!

I came here on a hot summer day after dining for lunch outside at a restaurant nearby. If I would have known earlier about this place, I would have saved some room to try their acai bowls. Parking - lots of free parking near Outdoor walk through option available for those that have dogs and want to order / pick up from outside. Atmosphere - great to come hangout with friends, family or by yourself to get some work / reading done. Washroom - the toilets don't flush well and it wasn't the most clean washroom I've seen.. Costs - ranges from $5.99-$13+ depending on what you order.. may be costly for a drink but it's yummy & fresh fruit! Handcrafted bowls, breakfast bowls, smoothies to wellness shots Pink Flamingo Smoothie ($8.59 small / $10.59 regular) - the smoothie isn't only pretty in color but also tastes great! It is healthy with its mixture of fruits and not too sweet, just right on sweetness level (doesn't tastes like those drinks loaded with sugar)..if you like extremely sweet drinks maybe ask for more agave nectar added I'll be back to try their acai bowls if I'm in the area

I went to Duck Donuts with my son this morning. Upon arrival, it was nice to see on the front door…read morethat it was a military owned company. The inside was quite clean, and there were a few seats available along the window. The owner was very kind and explained the different ways to order donuts because they had several menus, including one for the holidays. We decided to get half a dozen donuts. And as we watched, they do make the donuts fresh. And then added the toppings that we ordered. The smell inside was amazing. We had a variety of donuts, one with bacon one that was lavender, etc. They were warm and delicious! We cut a piece of each of them and enjoyed them all. They do not offer yeast donuts only cake donuts. But the cake dough batter used seems to be a lighter version of cake donuts so not as filling. Highly recommend!

When I arrived, one person was working in an extremely smoky donut shop with an awful smell and presented me after 40 minutes of waiting (even though I was in time for my pickup) with the exact same doughnut just dipped in vanilla chocolate or strawberry icing. When I asked him if they do a variety of donuts, he said the company has changed and they don't do any of the donuts that are currently posted not only on the website but also in store & on yelp. Either he's lying and just didn't want to do the work or this is true and is disappointing. I will also note that he touched every single donut by hand with no gloves on, and the donut shop was in complete disarray.

On one of the tables was a chess board that was set up to play that I thought was cool. The place was empty and on the side was a refrigerator and freezer section stocked with pints, quarts, and other treats. The staff was ready to take orders and let us try a couple of samples beforehand. I had the sweet lemon blackberry and I tried the honey almond brioche. Both were good but the sweet lemon blackberry was a winner. The ice cream had a mild sweet lemon flavor to it that was swirled with a nice thick blackberry sauce. Oberwies has more that traditional flavors and some are better that others depending on your tastes. This is a solid stop for ice cream treats.

The amount of flavors they have is only rivaled by the top bars of the 1800s and early 1900s. Step in the building and the whole place has early 1900s all over it which is great. It keeps the original hometown Palatine look and the staff inside even keep with the hometown styling and behavior. This place is like walking into a soda shop of the late 1800s early 1900s but with contactless payments and none of the horrors of then. The interior seating area was ample and the outside area is massive. Though this restaurant is completely wheelchair inaccessible so if you have such a need you'll be well served by their curbside dial in service that they offer for to go and disabled patrons.
