Down in the neighborhood and wanted to partake in some ice cream on a Sunday afternoon. My husband and I came here and tried a few sample flavors before deciding on our picks. Delicious flavors include Banana Pudding, Black Walnut, Peach, Peach Cobbler and sweet Potato Pie. This spot had very unique flavor profiles and the quality of the ice cream was excellent. They sell singles, doubles and pints. My understanding is that some of the ice cream can be found in local grocery stores. All in all, it was super yummy. The price point was a bit much but I love supporting local businesses. read more

Many great selections of ice cream here. Think about any dessert that your grandmother might've made for you and you can find it here. Service is outstanding, and you can also get samples to see what fits your taste palate. read more

Richard's Super Premium Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The other week our family decided to head down to the Pullman Historical Society for their monthly neighborhood walks. It was a scorcher and I wanted to try this hidden gem that I had heard about and I'm glad we did. Richard's is in an unassuming building off of 111th. This is really a grab and go establishment as there is only a few chairs and no tables. I love the assortment of unique and delicious flavors. The servers were very patient and as I made my decisions and asked for a couple samples. My wife got the sweet potato pie which tasted exactly like its namesake. I ordered the strawberry cheesecake and it was so creamy and the perfect amount of sweetness. read more

I'm guessing this company is family owned. Driving pass you can miss this place because there's no huge sign and it looks like it's an office building. The gentleman and lady was super friendly and allowed us to try samples especially since we never had their ice cream before. I will say every flavor I tried taste exactly like it's name. read more

So so so so good! Amazing flavors! I'll never lose weight I guess lol, I'll be back once this last pint is done

I ordered a myriad of ice cream pints so that four adults could sample for future family events. Uniformly we agreed that they are ALL exceptional! The Black Walnut and Butter Pecan had plentiful amounts of nuts; the Mango was delightfully fruity; the Banana Pudding tasted exactly as you'd expect; and, the Sweet Potato Pie ice cream was decadently delicious! The people were friendly, helpful and refreshingly respectful. Much to my surprise they sell food also. Too small for me to dine in, but a neat and clean venue. I'll be a regular. read more

Here's the revised review with your addition included: While this isn't a traditional scoop shop (it's more of a testing storefront for their kitchens -- so don't expect seating inside; that's not the purpose), they do offer desserts and hot items for takeout. We traveled across Chicago to try their acclaimed ice cream -- and it was worth the trip. Leonard, the manager, was incredibly knowledgeable and provided helpful insights about the flavors and the overall process behind their creations. His passion for the craft enhanced the experience. After sampling most of their offerings, I couldn't resist picking up a few pints to take home. It's hard to choose just one or two favorites! The sweet potato pie, apple pecan, Oreo brownie cheesecake, and their best-selling banana pudding were standout hits. Surprisingly, even the vanilla chocolate chip, a seemingly simple option, had an exciting twist. I also tried a hamburger with lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, and pickle, with a side of fries. Both were made to order and prepared exactly as requested. They were tasty but not particularly remarkable--just solid, straightforward food. While the burger and fries didn't stand out, they were not terrible either. It was a perfectly acceptable meal, though nothing I'd specifically recommend or discourage.

Richard's Super Premium Ice Cream - Exterior of the shop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

5/5 I am a huge ice cream lover -- I've eaten every style of ice cream imaginable across the USA and internationally -- and I can honestly say I have never had ice cream this good!!!! Richard's Premium Ice Cream in Chicago is in a league of its own. The Peach Cobbler ice cream tastes like summer in a scoop, and the Banana Pudding ice cream is pure comfort in every bite. Care, craftsmanship, quality ingredients and love was infused in every bite. What truly blew me away was their customer service. When part of my order was missing, the general manager personally went to the store on his day off, fixed the order, and delivered it to me himself. That kind of dedication is almost unheard of. Incredible flavors + world-class service = a must-visit for any ice cream enthusiast. read more

Super premium, super fantastic! Great selections of ice cream. Lunch menu with sandwiches. Easy to find parking on site. read more

Food is great. But the unique ice cream flavors are super. There is no space inside for dining but waiting outside on the steps is ok. If it weren't for the heat. read more

I finally stopped in and bought some ice cream. I've had their ice cream on a few occasions that someone has gifted it to me. The service is great. It's kinda in the cut off 111th off cottage grove. You have to ring the bell to get in. It small and very clean. I ordered the peach cobbler and the strawberry crunch ice cream. Both fantastic! I tried a few other flavors while there. The sweet potato ice cream was fabulous. Can't wait to get more. read more

Richard's Super Premium Ice Cream - Satisfying my fat cravings. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Good food and delicious ice cream the best ever!!!!! Banana pudding ice cream, peach cobbler etc. etc

Only go to Richard's if you're ready to have all other ice cream ruined for you because Richard's is so good you won't want other ice cream once you've tried it. Their ice cream feels creamy, fluffy and flavorful in ways that other ice creams don't. Additionally, their staff is always warm and helpful. Whenever I've visited or ordered online, I've received amazing service. Lastly, Richard flavors are a dream. They have things like strawberry shortcake, strawberry shortcake crunch, banana pudding and pineapple vodka. If you're a dessert fan, try Richard's! read more

Some of the best banana pudding ice cream I have ever tried! It's creamy delicious, but somehow, cookie parts retain their texture. My boyfriend likes to say it's diabolical. read more

This may well be the best ice cream in Chicago. The shop is so small and out of the way you'll question whether you're in the right place, but stick with it: the ice cream more than lives up to the "Super Premium" moniker. I tried Peach Cobber, Strawberry Cheesecake, Sweet Potato Pie, and Banana Pudding ice creams, and each was better than the last. Trust me, it's worth every penny and then some. read more

OMG!! My husband works near the establishment and during a sugar craving he suggested it to me. I am SO glad he did. We called while trying to navigate delivery and the staff member, Leonard, went above and beyond! He answered all of our random questions regarding flavors and was so awesome that we decided just to go in person and pick the ice cream up ourselves. We arrived and were greeted by him and he continued to be amazing and gave us some sample tastings after learning it was my first time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND visiting this establishment. EVERYTHING I tasted was amazing. My favs include : peach vodka, lemon ice box, tropical surprise, peach cobbler and key lime. The location is located in an industrial area so don't be off put - you are at the correct address. Leonard was AMAZING and three cars pulled up Shortly after us for service. Excellent weekday treat . read more

Heard about this place from the site blackpeople eats and knew I had to try it. Visited Saturday afternoon, to try banana pudding ice cream but ended up buying strawberry cheesecake and peanut butter cookie dough. They are curbside only so we ordered and a nice young man brought it out to the car. 5 minutes in and out. The ice cream was rich, creamy and flavorful. It was definitely better than store purchased ice cream. I will definitely be back to try other flavors. read more

Delicious ice cream made in an industrial area near the Pullman National Monument is definitely pilgrimage worthy! Don't be out off by the industrial nature of this place - the ice cream that comes out of this nondescript building in absolutely delicious and well worth the price. I had the banana pudding sundae, and am now wondering how I will live my life back in Dallas without this sundae in it in a regular basis. 5 best ice cream in Chicagoland stars EAT HERE NOW read more

This is served out of the warehouse basically. There is no where to sit down inside, so it is all to go. The banana pudding ice cream was the best I've ever had. It's a little pricey at $12 a quart, they do have some specials to get it down to 10. read more

This is honestly the best ice cream I've ever had. Not to mention, the team that works at their retail space are incredibly nice (S/O to Leonard). They've treated me like family!! Thank you so much for enriching Pullman with your amazing ice cream. read more

I went to Richard's for the first time on 14APR21 on the recommendation of my sister. I was greeted by a gentleman named Lenard who was more than hospitable. I was unaware that they offered samples, and Lenard made sure to enlighten me. My date and me sampled a few different ice creams: all of which were spectacular in both texture and taste. He then brought out additional samples that were some of his favorite and some which were commonly bought. I sincerely appreciated his knowledgeability of their selections. Finally, he offered my date and me an opportunity to park near the store where he served us additional samples. Not ONE ice cream was a weak point as they were all top notch. It was truly a pleasure to eat here, and I will absolutely be returning. read more

Great ice cream and service ! Was a little hesitant because of the area but it all checks out. Employees are super friendly and conversational. My brother & I got shakes and ice cream and was literally back the next day. definitely recommend for a sweet treat! read more

The customer service was awesome! Once we found the location, the manager (Leonard) and staff assisted us with samples and explanations about each item on the menu. The ice shop is attached to an ice cream factory - black owned establishment. They provided us with samples for key lime pie, sweet potato pie, banana pudding (purchased), apple pecan (purchased), pineapple vodka (purchased), plus popcorn samples of salt & vinegar (purchased) and red hot! This is a hidden gem! I will be here every payday *they sell soul food dinners everyday as well read more

OMG!!! This ice cream is the bomb! Hands down some of the best ice cream I've ever tasted! I've tasted the banana pudding ice cream and didn't think anything could be better than that but boy was I wrong. The strawberry cheesecake ice is phenomenal! So freaking creamy and packed with cheesecake pieces, I think I'm in . I can't wait to go back and try more flavors. Do yourself a favor if you're in the area please stop by you won't regret it!! read more

The BEST ice cream I've ever had. We ordered the banana pudding, It was perfectly balanced with fresh flavors, but isn't overly sweet.

Don't sleep on this place. The banana pudding ice cream is off the chain. I will be back this summer trying the different flavors. The location is surprising, but don't let that fool you check out this gem in Pullman. read more

This place is amazing! It was our first time so we were offered samples! Everything was delicious and the service was superb! The banana pudding sundae was absolutely amazing! Thank you! We will be back from South Bend! read more

I don't usually write reviews. I came across Richard's after looking on the web for something to eat with my gf and I have never in my life been done soooo good before. It's places like this that make someone want to continue eating meat. My gf and I stopped here on our way back to Indianapolis and we are more than satisfied. If there was a problem in our relationship... we are getting married tomorrow lolbvvs. From the first bite of my double cheese burger to the last bite of her grilled cheese dipped into my chili cheese fries we are in love. We haven't gotten to our ice cream yet but we are more than ready. My only issue was that we didn't get utensils but that didn't stop my fingers from digging into the mound of chili and cheese... lick lick. read more

Words cannot describe. Came for the soul food. Walked out with a pint of ice cream. Probably the BEST ice cream I've had. If you're anywhere in the city you HAVE to come here. Correction, you HAVE to come here at least once in your life. read more

They have a good selection of ice cream, and I really love the creamsicle ice cream , and very courteous service !!!!!

We came by unannounced (without ordering in advance) and the gentleman working there brought out flavor after flavor just for us to sample. We ended up buying three pints. It was hard to choose, but a family favorite was banana pudding (lemon ice box pie was also to die for). The flavors are rich and the textures creamy. We will definitely come back to try more and enjoy the terrific customer service! read more

The sweet potato ice cream was great! The banana pudding ice cream was bomb as well. Must TRY!

We stopped by Richard's for a quick bite of food and some ice cream. We rang the doorbell and Leonard came out to great us and guided us through ordering online to get a discount (and he could have taken our order if we did not have smart phones). Leonard brought out several samples of the ice cream, and they were all amazing! You have to come try these flavors! My favorites were the Sweet Potato Pie and the Strawberry Cheesecake. I had a chili dog and the chili is so flavorful and yummy! (It's Richard's family recipe!) My husband's double cheeseburger was huge and delicious. We are definitely coming back for more the next time we are nearby! Leonard was so hospitable and friendly. We ate on our picnic blanket on the grass, but hopefully next spring/summer, they will have a patio with some tables to enjoy. =) Thanks for a great meal and the pints that we will enjoy at home! read more
