“Delicious Italian ice with amazing flavors and a refreshing taste. Friendly service and a great spot for a sweet treat. Highly recommend!”
“Strolled upon this place during my night time walk and took a wrong turn which turned out the be the right turn! This adorable little Italian ice shop caught my eye and I’m SO glad I tried it. The young people working the register are so nice and welcoming. I samples guava, banana chip, and horchata flavor! All were delicious but i went with a banana chip + coconut mix. It was DELICIOUS!!!! Will def be going back 😊”
“Always a must go to each warm season! The flavors rotate periodically and everything I’ve had is super fresh and delicious! Staff is very friendly and welcoming too. There is outdoor seating on the side of the building.”
“How anyone can give this place less than 5 stars is a crime. Cheap, great and kid/dog friendly. A gem of Chicago”
“The tiny guava one made my whole night. Will be back!”
“Great neighborhood italian ice shop. Plenty of flavors to choose from. There are seats on the side. Checkout the collection of bird houses on display on the upper wall.”
“Very delicious Italian ice. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. Two flavors I really enjoy are hibiscus and black raspberry! Recommend if you are looking for a chill dessert!”
“Absolutely love me goes it is always refreshing rain or shine, luckily I live within walking distance, which is really nice not to mention. Zach is always very nice and friendly. I love your guys‘s unique flavors. I would love to suggest some flavors cause I actually used to Work at an ice cream shop and help pick flavors or invent flavors so if there’s anyway we could do a little suggestion box for flavors or something like that that would be so cool. Also, I love when you do your fall flavors that pumpkin and the apple/apple cider is fire. If you’re not sure what year you want then I would say coconut is an excellent option as well as watermelon and I’ve seen a lot of really inventive combinations. One of my favorite combinations is I got Kiwi with a cantaloupe and it was incredible probably one of my favorites ever but everybody should come check this place out!!! Also, I think I had a brief conversation with someone about drawing some really cute designs for pins and possibly some help with social media? I would still love to do that or anything else you need, and I’m open to working if you have any opportunities lol. 😝”
