Old School favorites that I enjoyed as a kid. I walked around mesmerized by the specialized, unique flavors of chocolate, gummies and many other goodies. The candy store serves up chocolate with liquor, coffee, latte, ice cream and other delicious treats that will water your mouth. I selected my 2 pieces of chocolate and purchase some additional treats. I handed the lady behind the counter my money and in return to lays my change down on the counter. I put my hands out for her to place it in my hands. Unfortunately, she missed the hint. She looked down at the money for me to pick it up myself. I believe in supporting small neighborhood businesses. The 3-star review that I'm giving is for the wonderful display of candies from my childhood and the warmth I felt in my heart. I'm happy that there are still old school candy shops around. Not sure I will visit again. Laying my money down on the counter was a bit rude

We came in for shakes and left completely blown away. I had the churro shake, my sons had the banana and Oreo -- all three were incredible. Not your average ice cream shop shakes. These things are next level. The shop also has a very cool old school ice cream shop vibe. But honestly, what made the experience was the two people working. A young lady and a young man who were both so attentive, patient, and genuinely helpful. They let us try a few flavors before we ordered, walked us through everything, and never made us feel rushed. That kind of customer service is rare anywhere, let alone at an ice cream shop. If you're in the area and haven't been here yet, you're missing out. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

A small ice shop located in Oak Park across the street from the pool. A good location for business on a hot summer day. Soft-serve cones, cups milkshakes, sundaes with a variety options of flavors. I ordered a soft serve Blue Goo ice cream cone. The young lady handed me the ice cone and it was limp to the side and running. The presentation online looked nothing like I ordered in person. I was a bit disappointed because I couldn't taste the blueberry flavor. It tasted just like a regular vanilla flavor cone. There is an outside patio for you to seat and enjoy your ice cream.

We brought our friends and family to enjoy. But the last time we came, I was really let down. None of the games were turned on and I have toddlers who got very frustrated until I came to figure it out. If you ever have been to a real arcade you will be left down by the cheap knockoffs that are here. Plus the Pac-Man game had a broken joystick. Best parts: they have two great Lactose flavors and they will sell you cones without ice cream in them. It's a nice place to grab and go, but don't waste time sitting inside.
