Cool place literally in Waukegan that has ice cream. Dockside is of course located at the marina…read more It makes for a good stop after going to the beach in the spring or summer. 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.

It's the kind of place where you'll want to try everything (and luckily, they let you sample before you buy!). The kids loved it, and honestly, so did we! It's definitely one of the best dessert spots around for a tasty treat after dinner or a weekend outing. The service was fast, and there are plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your ice cream instead of having to rush out the door. Highly recommend if you're looking for something sweet, fun, and family-friendly. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors!

Here are some thoughts: --We met "Papa" and he's a character. Wearing red and white striped uniform--old school : ) --This place is a real gem, feels like old fashioned, homemade ice cream shop with 41 flavors! --Lots of fun stuff for the kids--toys and squeeze the rubber chicken, etc. --It's not cheap, but I think it's more reasonably priced than something like Kilwin's. --This is a must stop, especially if you have kids or you just like good ice cream : ) --Plenty of inside seating and outdoor games for kids. Highly recommended!!

We got the frozen banana dipped in chocolate and sprinkles to share which was nice. Frozen bananas always make me think of Arrested Development : ) the selection of ice creams and sundaes are impressive and how people can mix up scoops. The cookies and cream is calling my name.
