    Sundays

    Our favorite custard in the Dekalb/Sycamore area. We ordered blueberry, hot fudge and strawberry Sundays. Large selection of custard, slushies, ice cream and deserts. Thank You

    Irish Cream Cake Malt
    Dana S.

    Lots of options. Everything is pretty cheap. The line moved quickly, and it was actually kind of good for us that there was a line so that we had time to take in the menu boards. I got a malt with the daily custard flavour, Irish Cream Cake. I just can't resist malt, but if I had to do it over I would order a plain shake since I think the malt may have covered up the subtleties of the Irish cream flavour. Nonetheless it was very tasty and an interesting flavour. The shake was the right consistency for me, creamy but not heavy or too thick to easily drink. The group I went with was mostly out-of-towners at NIU for a conference, and the locals were all recommending this place to us. It was good stuff, and with all the options I only wish I had more chances to come back.

    Weekend flavor! Black Raspberry!

    There is generally 'always' a line but that's because the custard is so good! They even have non-dairy options like the frozen dole whip! Tried the flavor of the day which was thin mint. We got one scoop on a cone and ai made mine a hot fudge Sunday (just fyi... whipped cream is an add-on of $1) Highly recommend if you're in the area or like us took a little drive to get some custard on a nice evening!

    Vanilla Bourbon Ice Cream with Carmel - YUM!

    Still rocking in 2024. We stopped in after a visit to Lowes after dinner. This place was packed. First off, seating is available: In front of the takeout windows Behind the business WAY behind the business in the grass at the south end of the parking lot. Lots of seating. You order at the west window, and pick up at the east window. While you are in line on the west side, take in the menu boards, so you can order quickly. Hand over your money, and then wait at the east window. I had a Raspberry sundae, which was really nice. I went with a Junior size, so I don't have to do 10 miles tomorrow. My wife had the vanilla bourbon ice cream, with carmel. You could actually taste the bourbon in the ice cream, and lots of people were ordering it. Service was solid - around 4 minutes from order to eating. When we left, the line was twice as long. This place is popular for a reason. It's GOOD.

    Got a Parfait. It's extremely sweet and I just need it!!! Will go there to try the custard or sundae next time.

    Hot Fudge Sundae with Whip Cream
    Holly M.

    Best ice cream place in the Dekalb Area! They have something for everyone! On top of their delicious ice cream, they are always fast and friendly! If you love Whip Cream, they give you a generous amount! Would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

    Raspberry dole whip

    A great local place to go if you're ever in the area of dekalb. The outside design reminds me of the 90's and they try their best to replicate that drive through restaurant scenery with outdoor seating. If you can't tell by the lines, everyone has Ollie's as their go-to desserts here. I got the raspberry dole whip and it tasted very natural and not artificial at all. Their flavors of the month and very unique and it's definitely a place that I would consider driving 50+ miles for. It's a great staple for an afternoon dessert.

    We love Ollies! Always been a favorite for years! My boyfriend and I recently treated ourselves to their flavors of the day. So glad they opened back up since Covid started.

    My wife is obsessed with Ollie's. She grew up with it. When we first visited her parents in Dekalb, going here was nostalgic for her. Although she insisted on arguing with me about whether it's called ice cream or custard. I still think that frozen custard is a type of ice cream. 7 years later and we still debate this. Anyway, it's frozen custard/ice cream. Delicious. They rotate flavors during the month. I have not had the opportunity to try specific flavors, but I did make my own sundae, which was just as delicious. Creamy, fatty, deliciousness. Customer service was friendly but sort of on the slow side. Not much lighting for those eating there at night.

    Boston shake on the left, parfait on the right.
    Thomas R.

    Just arrived here from Kansas City-first stop Ollie's. Parfait and a Boston Shake - the shake of your flavor choice with a sundae of your flavor choice on top. Mine was hot fudge on hot fudge. Probably a zillion calories but when you come this far there's no point in not going all in.

    Banana split with strawberry, blueberry and raspberry. They give you crushed nuts and load it with whipped cream!

    Checked out this long time classic in Sycamore for ice cream. Dairy Ripple has a lot more things on…read morethe menu obviously. It happens to be one of the few ice cream places that's open year round. For sure that's not what people want when it's cold, so they also have hot food. There's a counter, a few tables, and pretty friendly and fast service. As expected it's busiest in summer or when it gets hot. It's open all year however so they need to have other stuff. There's quite a lot of the other stuff including breakfast items like avocado toast. Crazy all the things they got. There's something for any time of the day or even year. It's about $3 for a cone. They don't have a lot of vegan options here but one thing is the avocado toast. Also there's plenty of coffee. They have a few non dairy milks. Ironic for having ice cream. They have a Roasted Veggie Sandwich at least. Best place around here to go when it gets hot. It's still got lots of hot foods like burgers and classic meals. They have kind of limited hours for winter being only open for breakfast and lunch but in summer it's open later though.

    Out on a weekend cruising summer movie vibe. That is one of the ways I would describe this small…read moreice cream and food shop on the side of the road. The staff is your typical school teens, friendly and clean. There are benches outside to enjoy your treats and a drive tru (the speaker is not fixed yet, so you have to just go to window) The menu has great ice cream treats, burgers and hotdogs, but in the winter time they will start having coffee, and breakfast (since they have new owners) Definitely a fun place
