    Grape Soda And Pink Lemonade Sorbet
    Steve A.

    Had some great cold treats from this family owned business in Pingree Grove. It maintains a rural setting even though it's next to a subdivision. The Milk House has classic flavors along with the modern and more experiential too. A busy place whether or not the weather is cold. You may wait awhile but it's not crazy long of a wait to be honest. Came here on the weekend and it was crazy busy. It's got a parking lot but it was all filled. There were cars parked all along the street. Getting here sure took awhile. Had to walk from a few blocks away just to get in line and wait even longer. Actually the line moved pretty fast. Lots of flavors that always change up. It's about $3 for a scoop in a cup. We also got a bottle of pop. Flavors include grape. The ice cream list rotates. We got some of the Pink Lemonade Sorbet. Basically it's sour and sweet as one can expect. They also have Vietnamese Cinnamon if wanting a more exotic flavor. Great place to hang out around here for families and anyone. It's located on Reinking Road, which is north of where the bend in Route 20 is. The hardest thing is finding anywhere to park, with it being especially crazy on weekends.

    Was visiting from out of town and decided to try this famous ice cream shop and was highly impressed. I got the nutter butter and vanilla and I loveeee it.

    Cute place! Will be back to stay awhile and have a flight of ice cream. I took key lime, Vietnamese cinnamon and pineapple upside down cake home with me. Key lime was my husband's favorite. I got a scoop of mint chocolate chip to eat on the way home and it was delish. Places to eat and sit outside or inside in a whole other building.

    The Milk House is located in Pingree Grove. Mostly farm land out here, so most of the support is probably from the locals. There was a line when we walked up and a dry erase sign with the flavors of the day. There were regular flavors offered along with some contemporary ones like cantaloupe, grape lemonade sorbet, and pineapple upside down cake for example. The line progressed fairly quickly. On the inside was a freezer with pints and quarts, homemake cookies, and a variety of old fashioned bottled sodas all for sale. Service was nice and friendly, however the shop was lacking in posted prices. Samples are available and I tried blueberry pie. I opted for a scoop of the key lime pie and it turned out to be creamy and delicious. It captured the slightly tart but sweet flavor of key lime pie with sprinkles of graham cracker crust. I was told the vanilla was great as well. The one scoop was a generous portion priced a little over $4. I loved the experience and look forward to coming back and trying other flavors of ice cream, sherbet, and sorbet!

    The vibes here are always great! They have a good assortment of flavors and allow you to try a few samples before you decide. I love their cookies & cream, it's so creamy and they don't skimp on the cookie pieces. They also offer flights, which consist of 4 smaller scoops. My mom loves this option, and it's good for people who can't decide. The staff is great. Parking is rough when they're busy thought and not much seating outside so you just gotta eat in your car really.

    Cute country side ice cream shop where you can eat inside a barn. There were simple yet some intriguing flavors offered. A nice summer time hangout with the lazy summer ambiance. Giant rocking chair included.

I stopped in on this occasion to get one of their famous chocolate malts. Their ice cream is divine. Their chocolate malt is the second best one I've ever had in my lifetime. Second only to Al's Ice Creamery in downtown Elgin, which is the old famous Burns pharmacy chocolate Malt that used to be located on Bluff City Blvd some 50+ years ago. Oberweis gets it right with just the perfect amount of malt. It comes with a cookie straw and a fair amount of whipped cream. If you've never had the pleasure of trying one of their ice cream delicacies, stop in and give them a try, you won't be disappointed with anything their on the menu. There are other locations around the fox valley as well, see Bartlett off route 59 as well. Oberweis dairy was a long-standing dairy in Aurora Illinois, their products simply are the best.

The girl that took the order told us it would be a couple of minutes. FIFTY MINUTES LATER we got our 4 scoops. FIFTY MINUTES. I don't know who is managing this place. But it was unacceptable. The people working behind the counter couldn't have moved slower if they tried. I've never seen humans move that slow. I will absolutely never return.
