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.

What a cute candy shop in Libertyville, IL. This city is new to me, never heard of it before, but…read morecome to find out, I've been near it before. This candy shop is inviting with their bright pink neon lights which I love. There is so much to see in here and we looked around and went through the bulk candy for sometime to pick the flavors we wanted. It was kinda fun in a weird way. Wait just one more watermelon! Lots of candies I've never seen or even tasted before. I set myself a limit in here because let's be real, you can go overboard on the yummy goodies. They also offer fudge and icecream. Staff encounter was minimal, but I can't say anyone was super eager and enthusiastic while ringing us up. I was happy to find the sour pucker lips as they are hard to come by back home... it was a win for me. I loved the OHHHH fudge sign on the wall-- put a huge smile on my face. :-)

Has some charming old vintage advertisements to look at. There's actually more than just ice cream, as they also have sandwiches and other things. Basically this is one of those seasonal places that closes when it gets colder. It's the closest place to the beach to get anything to eat. There's actually two buildings for this business, across the street from each other. Certainly the cereal is the main thing to get. It's about $3 for a small cup, not bad prices. Has quite a few flavors including Italian ices. There's also a grill so they make hoagies and other sandwiches. Has other sweets like cotton candy. There's one table inside and a few more on a patio. Good place to cool off when it gets hot. It's located by the marina shop and lighthouse. This is a quick stroll from the Metra station.

Sweet Home Gelato hits that perfect "treat yourself" note every single time…read more My wife and I have made this our go-to stop after date night dinners or a stroll through local boutiques. Whether we're dressed up from dinner or rocking comfy post-shopping vibes, this spot always welcomes us like regulars. The service? Top tier. Friendly, fast, and always ready with a smile and a spoon. They don't rush the process -- they want you to find your flavor soulmate. Pro tip: ask to sample, they're always down to help you discover a new favorite. Speaking of which -- here's mine: get the Small (trust me, it's not that small), because you get to combine two flavors. Lately, I've been hooked on the combo of classic vanilla and pineapple. It's like creamy meets tropical vacation -- light, refreshing, and oddly sophisticated for something in a cup. The ambiance is casual but cozy, making it the perfect cherry on top to any night out. Whether you're with your partner, your friends, or just treating yourself (as you should), Sweet Home Gelato is always worth the detour.

We were excited to finally try Olivia's. We decided to go for an early dinner (5:30ish) on a…read moreFriday evening. First impression, the parking lot was empty. We had heard they were busy, many times with wait times. So we were surprised. The ambiance is really nice, A really nice Italian dinner restaurant. I started with an Old Fashioned and it was one of the better ones I have had. They really nailed it. There are a couple on their menu so I was sure to say "not the one with soda/selter". That a Wisconsin one :) We asked if the Caesar was large enough to split to start. They said yes. Great. There were 3 tables filled so it was finally not empty. Not sure why the bar seating was empty- looked like a great place to sit too. After ten minutes we gave our order, Chicken Piccata for my wife and I had the Pork Chop special. The waiter didn't come by and we didn't get our salad. He was busy making drinks for one larger party (the 4th table). Finally our entree's came. I asked what happened to our salad. He looked confused. I reminded him we asked if it was large enough to split and we would start with it. He was genuinely sorry. It happens. Then we ate the entree's. My wife's Chicken was flavorful and served hot. It was very good. My pork chop was closer to room temp rather than hot. The flavor was really good. Unfortunately I have a thing about eating my food hot, not on the cold side. I told the waiter. He was sorry and asked if he could have them heat it up. I passed .... Didn't want dryer food while my wife ate alone. The manager came over and insisted it didn't sit at the window. Not sure WHY he wanted to argue this point. I offered the plate so he could taste or even feel the dish at that point. He seemed genuinely wanting to help, but he didn't need to make us feel like we were wrong. Again - not the end of the world. So why 3 stars? My wife's food was great. The taste of mine was good. They didn't charge us for my dinner. Their Old Fashioned was out of this world (ask Omar to make it). The truth is we want to try it again and see if this was a glitch. If it wasn't a glitch, it's why they weren't packed on a Friday night.

The meat was well-cooked and not at all dried out, and the breading was seasoned and crispy. I got buffalo sauce and ranch for dipping, but they have a good variety of sauces that I look forward to trying in the future. The service was quick. I ordered online and showed up within 10 minutes, only having to wait for 1 minute before my food was ready. Their location isn't set up to allow you to eat inside, with no tables and just some chairs to sit in while you're waiting. I would definitely recommend checking them out!

For example, the Kungfu Tea in Libertyville, their tapioca pearls are so inconsistent. Sometimes I go and they're mushy and other times, they're so hard like rubber bullets; they're never made correctly and perfectly every time. That's where Te Amo comes in the picture. Their tapioca pearls are consistently good. They also have really good flavor combinations and the drinks are made with care. Along with the boba tea, they also sell mochi donuts and basque cheesecake!

Always passed by here finally decided to try it. I ordered a hot ube dalgona with oatmilk, 25%…read moresugar (lowest it allows). It was still a bit too sweet, I would've picked 10% if it had that option. The foam is a bit sour and bitter, kinda shocking. But not until you get to the actual drink part, it's actually not bad. The light bitterness throughout was really good. Both ube and dalgona flavors come out. But I might try to go with more simple/purer flavors, one at a time. I find mixed flavors a bit too much, since not all mixed flavors go well together. Might just go with dalgona by itself next time or ube creme brulee alone. Also, I think the drink I had would've been better cold, as the ice would cut the sweetness to half if I waited long enough. I would've ordered a cold one but cold would've exacerbated my cough, so hot it is. Also wanted to add that the boba were done well, not under or overcooked. The tapioca itself had a nice toasted sugar flavor. As for service, it's mostly a self-service kiosk. Ordering is pretty easy and straightforward, and they have Apple Pay. Interestingly the ordering system is through Chowbus, they text you your order number.
