Shawn Michelle's Homemade Ice Cream - Loving and celebrating these Kings for an exceptional school year! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Banana Pudding Ice Cream! Got a coupon for a free a scoop of ice cream. I love banana pudding and decided to try that. It was creamy and delicious ....tasted just like banana pudding. This is a cute black owned ice cream shop located in Bronzeville. Everyone was pleasant and nice. Milly was at the door greeting everyone, she was very kind and welcoming. I ended up buying a pint to go and will definitely be back read more

This place was pretty average when it comes to ice cream. I order the banana pudding ice cream and it more live vanilla wafers. It didn't have the nostalgic banana pudding taste. I also ordered the caramel cheesecake ice cream and it was pretty good. Aside from ice cream this establishment does sell peach cobbler, which is amazing I must say. The service was pretty standard. I'll be back whenever I'm in the area. read more

I love this ice cream spot. The ice cream is homemade with unique local flavors, and they always have great deals, plenty of options, and a good rewards program. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They even offer a free birthday scoop. If you go, try the peach cobbler because it is amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is always clean and there is plenty of parking around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think I am about to head there now. read more

I started something that's a problem. That's getting ice cream from here. Absolutely 10/10! All I can say is you can get anything here and it's probably more than you can dream of. I tried the Jamaican Rum Raisin and it knocked my socks off and transported me to the land of Irie. Service is great-while you wait, they allow customers a sampling to see what magic they are back there making. Thank you Shawn Michelle for a great time. I'll see you tomorrow. read more

This ice cream is rich rich rich. The variety of flavors is nice too. I was told recently they are starting a flavor of the month . Now there's incentive to come back to see what's being offered. There's also delicious peach cobbler which of course begs to be topped with a creamy homemade vanilla or flavor of your choice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is small and quaint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The line moves quickly and they'll even let you taste while you wait. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is vibrant with color and personality.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The workers are dressed very professional, certainly with the nostalgic look. Excellent customer service! Now, the banana pudding ice cream is to die for. I will DEFINITELY, go back! Everyone was pleasant, like they enjoyed their jobs and wanted to be there. I loved that! read more

Good ice cream is hard to come by in Chicago. This place has very yummy ice cream with a large variety of flavor. Service was incredible, everyone was very kind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only knack against the place is the music was very loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Just passing thru and me and my daughter stumbled across this nice ice cream shop. The words homemade ice cream and vegan ice cream drew my attention.

Shawn Michelle's Homemade Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Stopped by one Saturday afternoon because I was too lazy to make my own homemade ice cream, which I usually do. I got a scoop of cookies and cream and a scoop of pistachio. I understand what it takes to make ice cream from scratch, and this is good ice cream. But I must call out $7+ for two scoops add up when I know the cost of ingredients to make a gallon of ice cream. I will stop in when I have an occasional lazy moment, though. read more

We tried the single banana pudding ice cream and the lunchroom butter cookie child sundae. I did like the banana pudding ice cream it was pretty good. The butter cookie reminded me of a birthday cake flavor. It was good. I think $13 is little expensive for the amount you get though. The girl at the drive thru was friendly and the ice cream was very soft. read more

Best ice cream parlor in the area! Stopped here with my brother and nephew for a treat at the end of a long afternoon. Staff were helpful in letting us sample a couple flavors before making our selections. I chose a lemon ice cream, and my nephew got a cobbler a la mode (vanilla ice cream). Both flavors were rich, cool and creamy. We chose to relax inside and dine in, which was fun with the smattering of games on different tables like connect four, checkers, and jenga. Price point is a bit on the higher side, but everything tasted fantastic. I couldn't afford to come here regularly, but it's always a treat when I do. Will definitely be back the next time I'm back home. read more

If loving Shawn Michelle's is wrong, I don't want to be right. If happiness had a flavor, it'd be sold here. Amazing customer service and ice cream so good it needs its own warning label. DAE read more

I went to the South Holland location. Staff were confused about orders. I was given an incorrect flavor - single scoop after having paid for a double scoop. Too many servers calling out names,not focused on making sure order is correct! read more

bright, large space with unique flavors. we came at 7:57 not knowing they close at 8, but they were still happy to serve us even tho they had put away their ice cream. menu with flavors were displayed on large TV screens, but they weren't very clear and kept switching, making it hard to see all of your options. I got the tease, which was the smallest one, for 7.99. they allowed me to get two different scoops, so I got midnight mirage and cookies and creme. the c&c was very good, but I wouldn't have gotten the MM if I knew it would come with caramel. took away from the flavor and tasted artificial. overall, I wish they had an even smaller option, as the tease was still too big, and the price point isn't appealing. it would also be nice if they had outdoor seating. read more

Great gem of the community! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's the spot I take my kids to catch up for the week & talk![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Been here twice and the customer service was great both times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's very clean inside as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bourbon butter pecan ice cream was superb and so was the banana pudding. My only gripe was that there was a teaspoon of pudding and a container full of cookies. The little bit of pudding that I received was some of the best I've had. The peach cobbler was also good. Definitely worth a visit if you haven't tried them yet. read more

We stopped in with only one customer ahead and waited 10 minutes for 2 ice cream cones. That had no waffle cones so we settled for sugar cones. Then to make matters worse she just put the scoop of ice cream right on top not pushing it in the cone and of course going out the door it fell right on the ground! So then gave me another scoop and charged me! The ice cream was good but I will definitely not patronize them again! read more

Ice cream was really really tasty. Lotta flavors you don't see at many other places. Staff was super nice and willing to help despite it being 7:57 and it closing at 8. Like I said, good ice cream and nice staff but $7.99 for the smallest advertised cup seemed very pricey to me - I would've gotten a smaller serving but the menu didn't show anything smaller than a tease which was apparently 2 scoops tho it didn't explain it. I also found it frustrating that it closes at 8 - something people are still wrapping up dinner around then. Not only is that annoying as a customer but seems like a missed opportunity as a business. The location itself is cute inside and maybe it was just because I arrived late, but no seating outside was a bit of a bummer. Would go back if i have someone to split a tease cup with - you can get 2 flavors in them. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Awesome place to take your family for some delicious homemade ice cream with all the flavors you can imagine!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

The peach cobbler was horrible. I thought it would be good because it was a black business. I will never order peach cobbler from here again. read more

I am glad that Shawn Michelle's is now in Flossmoor instead of the city...since now I only have a 10 minute drive (vs. 40 minutes). What I like best about what they officer is their peach cobbler. Definitely tastes homemade and has a good flavor. They also sell poundcake made by Sweet Love that is my absolute favorite poundcake. I've tried several of their ice cream flavors, but honestly, I would rather have basic Baskin and Robbins instead. The prices are actually pretty high...with tax, one small piece of cake is around $6; their shakes are almost $10; and for a two scoop sundae, almost $13. That's expensive from my perspective. So...I'd definitely recommend stopping by to try them...and go with the peach cobbler and poundcake. read more

They don't have vegan options. Many restaurants offer options and then get rid of them because the inventory doesn't move as fast. They offered vegan peach cobbler and a couple of their popular flavors were offered as vegan but then all of a sudden they stopped carrying them. It was very disappointing. They have great service and great offerings but unfortunately vegans are not catered to . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful restaurant as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I really wanted to like this place but I Love it! As a regular ice cream eater, Shawn Michelle's has now replaced the other places I frequent. Since it's a soft opening I am waiting patiently for the full experience. I was forewarned from others who have gone to the Chicago location that it was good but I still felt unprepared. My husband got the banana pudding- stuck my spoon in. I had the butter cookie. Both were fantastic! Not too sweet, very creamy and packed to go very well. Staff was friendly as well. This business is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. They will have all my dessert money! read more

Such a beautiful place. Great vibes!! I have never waited long and they are always so helpful and friendly. Great deals and unique flavors make it so much more worth it!! read more

My pint of butter pecan tased good but it had ice crystals in it taking away from it's creamy texture.

I hadn't even eaten any of this. It is freshly opened and this was all that was given to me. I spent 13 bucks for one scoop of vanilla and a small cobbler and they literally gave me a table spoon full of crust and peaches. I'm not sure if I'll be returning. read more

5 stars isn't enough for this. Don't pass this area without giving your ice cream taste buds a special treat. Your only problem will be deciding which flavor to choose. Volunteering at the BMW and topped off the afternoon here couldn't be beat. Let's double the stars to 10! read more

One of my favorite places to get ice-cream! It tastes very fresh and the flavors are unique. They also have games inside that you can play while you eat your ice-cream such as chess, checkers, connect 4, and jenga. Sometimes they play music inside. The staff is always very respectful and kind. They are also patient when allowing people to sample the flavors. There is a drive-thru as well. I recommend the banana pudding, lunchroom butter cookie, and lemon pound cake ice-creams. (Some of my favorite flavors) They also run specials to get discounted prices. read more

Friendly, minority owned, yummy ice cream with both traditional and new flavors. They also have vegan ice cream! It's a little pricey but not if you consider that you're getting real ice cream made by a local business. Sign up for their text list and you'll get BOGO deals. I got two double scoop orders for $8! read more

Good quality ice cream. Great flavor selection and attentive service. Thankful for the new Olymmpia Fields location.

Highly recommend! Came for the soft opening at 9p and the honey graham ice cream is really good! I've heard from other reviews at the Bronzeville location (never been) that their peach cobbler is amazing! I can't wait until the grand opening on 7/9/22! read more

It was my first time there and the ice cream is tasty. I've would've given more stars, but I've purchased two of the $7.99 cups and they did not fill them up. I've also purchased the banana pudding, caramel cake (have not tried them yet) and a piña colada sweet ice (was very good). I was going to go back and try the black walnut since it wasn't ready, but a half cup for $8 is not worth it! I wish I would've noticed before I left, but the other items were on top. read more

Best ice cream I've ever had! So glad I finally went in! I had three samples and all of them were incredible. I could not make a decision, so I had two scoops. I'm already wanting to go back to try more flavors! I mean, Banana pudding ice cream (with Nilla wafers in it) , Black Walnut and Pistachio! Their Vanilla had so much vanilla flavor! Pow! I was blown away. Truly. Go!!!! Look at all my !!!!!!! LOL read more

The ice cream is absolutely amazing. I was in town with family and no one knew this place was there which is crazy because it's delicious. I found it on Google and the next time I'm back in Illinois this will be my first stop. Very nice and friendly staff as well who helped us in the drive thru. We had a big order and everything was perfect. read more

The store is clean ,colorful and inviting. The service was quick and friendly. Staff welcomes you and shares their menu and offers toppings as well as suggestions on what else may be good for your sweet taste buds. The prices are reasonable and they have delicious menu offerings that are not ice cream such as cobbler, biter cookies and pound cake. We will be back! read more

Shawn Michelle's Homemade Ice Cream - Peach cobbler ala mode - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great selections! Taste is very good, but they may want to rethink there prices. Not sure how long they'll last at that price point ? read more

Very excited to see this new ice cream shop in the area. Cute decor and the staff is beyond friendly. I had the peach cobbler I kept hearing about. Since I really only I love mine served ala mode, when it was recommended - it was right on time. Serving size was disappointing. Big container with not more than 2 tablespoons of cobbler at best. Cobbler is really sweet so if you like that you will be happy. I was shocked at a milkshake for $10, as well as pretty pricey 1 scoop. Overpriced!! I suggest that they label the ice cream because you look down in freezer and really don't know what the flavors are, and who wants to keep asking "what's this one, what's this one?" Some are obvious of course, but still - label them all please! I see an opportunity for some fun and catchy flavor names! Since the prices are a bit high, hope they get repeat business. read more
