    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. The shop was nice and had a cool decorated space to sit. The people were nice and helpful. The ice cream tasted great.

    This place is vibrant with color and personality. 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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

I wasn't particularly impressed by the selection, and the freshness of the donuts left something to be desired. The presentation also took away from the experience. Seeing donuts sitting exposed in boxes where customers can easily view them isn't particularly appealing and doesn't create the freshest visual impression. I tried the maple pecan glazed donut, which was overwhelmingly sweet. Even after just one bite, the intense sugar rush was immediate and overpowering, making it difficult to enjoy the other flavors. The vanilla donut was the better of the two--pleasantly doughy, though it still lacked the freshness I was hoping for. Overall, this was an average experience. The donuts were serviceable, but neither the selection, presentation, nor freshness gave me much reason to return.

We'd already spent most of the day eating, so we decided to share the Atomic Fudge Sundae. It's a fairly enormous concoction. I found it interesting that the hot fudge was served on the side, but it's actually pretty smart because you get control how much (or how little) sauce you get. The ice cream is the highlight. It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.

And honestly, I think a stop here for all future visits to Wicker Park now rely on this condition being met! While the baked goods are where it is at, the smell alone was worth selling itself. After we got a few whiffs, we made out way to the counter and did the ole "Ill take that, and this, oh and that too..." and ended up with a wide variety of cookies, tarts, danishes and cakes. All of which were absolutely delightful! Out of our haul, the peanut butter cookie was the highlight for me, and the raspberry crumble bar was it for my partner. Everything in between was delish, but a few things definitely stood out! Service was stellar from entry to exit. They knew we were newbies, so they helped us pick the best of the best. The space is gorgeous, bright, welcoming and classic. They definitely let the baked goods be just as much a part of the decor as the actual artwork.
