Oberweis Dairy

Should’ve listened to the reviews on this one. Asked for my dessert for here, gave me to go. I said it was a large, gave me a regular. My aunt ordered, gave her a number stand from someone else’s table. Got orders switched up.
Blonde chick at the front gave attitude of course.
One of the brunette also had attitude with my family. I believe she’s the manager. Wearing gray shirt. Big girl, black hair. Change your employees oberweis. Or fix their attitude

This oberweis is ridiculous. Don’t make the mistake of coming here instead of cappanaris. We had three people in front of us in line and it took 20 minutes. Meanwhile two of the high school girls working there were just standing around watching a third one take orders. Line out the door and only one register open on a Friday night. Terrible.

I truly want to give you four stars, I do. But let me explain. I just love the local place around the corner. But that place is seasonal, and so during the winter Oberweis has to be five stars, since it’s the only game in town. During the summer, I just don’t come here. Off my radar. So, therefore, kind of an average of three. The ice cream is really very good, rich and delicious. On my last visit here, the server was celiac, and knew exactly which flavors were gluten-​free (almost all), and which weren’t (anything with cookies or cheesecake or graham crackers – go figure). The servings are generous. The presentation can include glass dishes for the in-​house diner. The store is lit through and through by windows, and feels bright and airy, despite the heavy hand with the scarlet red paint. They allow you to play chess on their tables (great chance to lose to an 8 year old!). The unit they have basically wraps around the Starbucks, so it has an exit on Northwest Highway, and an entrance on Emerson. There is ample parking in the lot accessed off Emerson, and a few street spots on Northwest Highway. They have many tables out back facing the parking lot and street for your summer dining pleasure. The store also includes a large retail case, where you can purchase any of their products, including the totally addictive chocolate milk. If you are in downtown Mount Prospect, and have realized that a blenderized coffee drink is really just a milkshake, so why not just get a real milkshake, it’s like the same amount of calories and fat anyway – here is your place!

We went late around 1030 on a Saturday. The staff was really friendly and patient. Ice cream was fresh and delicious.

I went here a few times for my chocolate milk, ice cream fix… the crew there are decent people, served me well, and packed up my bag very decently so they won’t get busted up.
Never went here for an ice cream soda or a banana split, but I’ve been to others, so this place has to be just as good.
Plenty of tables and chairs, seems to be a small games night gathering, with at least 2 – 3 tables full of folks, playing games.
You can park on Northwest Hwy, but the door there is an exit only — you need to enter from the doors on Emerson, just a short walk around the corner. Otherwise, parking is aplenty.
Also got some bacon, gonna dive it a try — it has some nicely and thick cut slices… mmm…thought Oberweis was only milk and milk-​based products. Something new everyday, you learn…

They used to be good but now I must say their ice cream quality has degraded. We went there a few days ago and ordered «New Pistachio flavor» «Orange» «Chocolate Chip» and Chocolate Caramel (I had this one) flavor ice creams.
1) Pistachio tasted bitter terrible
2) Orange tasted like orange pop
3) Chocolate Chip was Ok but way too sweet
4) Chocolate Caramel was very very very Sweet (overdose of sugar). I now have a sore throat from it.
FYI we all threw away our ice cream.

Any Oberweis that has Blueberry Pie ice cream is a winner.

Oh Yeah… Love the smell of the place when you walk In… It’s a wonderful feeling going someplace knowing that you won’t be getting the «look» from the other beautiful people enjoying themselves, when you kids start running around like sugar crazed kids!!! Super fun!!:)

I was getting really frustrated hunting down a used bookstore that doesn’t exist anymore. Then driving all over hell to get here only to be blocked off by the fair in the rain. I finally reach the street only to run right into an old fashioned looking ice cream store. I didn’t even know I needed one til I got here. Holy Cow, literally. I ended up spending about a half hour gaping at all the dairy products in the purest form. Then I get the ice cream, my usual a single scoop of chocolate in a cake cone. Well the good news is I don’t think I’ll be eating ice cream anywhere else. So I might just be adding all these fat calories once or twice a year. I actually brought home a canister of whipped topping, and home is Minnesota. For the hotel I stocked up on drinks. Lemonade, iced tea, and fruit punch. Is there anything that isn’t the best here. The favorite was the iced tea, so smooth and perfectly sweetened. Why has the food delivery trend stopped with the milkman? Days gone by. This place gets it. Some good oldies too. Talk about a mood enhancer. You won’t feel guilty after eating this ice cream, you’ll actually feel like you deserve it.

Oh Oberweis… How I love thee…
So after a rough turn at team trivia I figured the only thing to cheer me up was a delicious little treat from my favorite ice cream shop! It was almost closing time!!! Ahhhhh We quickly left the bar we were at and made it just before 10:00pm. I’m sure the kids working were something less than thrilled with us, but I needed some cookie dough and I needed it FAST! I had a single scoop (if that’s what you want to call it) in a waffle cone, classic and delicious. My boyfriend got a chocolate milk shake, he’s a wuss and couldn’t finish it… So it’s in my freezer and I will be treating myself after work :)
Never disappointed when I leave Oberweis, NEVER!!!

I mean…
cmon.
Does it get any better than Oberweis?
No.
When I was a young lad, we used to order Oberweis delivery, and they would deliver it either really late at night, or really early in the morning. Either way, it was there in the morning. We always used to say «Want to hear something scary about the dairyman?» The only thing scary about Oberweis is how scary good it is.
Their chocolate milk tastes like someone melted Edy’s Ice Cream and bottled it. I’m sure its super fattening, but who cares. Life is short! I love having a glass right when I wake up, and right after a workout.
I’ve never had their lemonade or their fruit punch, I’m sure its awesome.
Their chocolate milkshake is so good. I can only compare it to the memory of going to The Buffalo in BG as a kid, and drinking their milkshakes for dessert. I loved them because they would bring you the extra shake in the mixing cup. Ohh memories…

This Oberweis is always a painful experience. It takes 10 minutes to get a dish of ice cream. Have had various irritating experiences there throughout the years. Tonight was disgusted by how long everything took, considering there were no less than 6 people working in the kitchen. Just a bunch of teenagers taking their sweet time scooping and mixing. Someone needs to crack the whip there. Move with purpose, pick up the pace!
Better yet, take your business a couple of blocks west to Capannari’s on Pine. It’s small and there is usually a wait, simply because the line is long. Everyone that works there makes it clear — in their attitude and the fact that they straight up bust their butts the whole time — that they are happy the customers are there and want them to have a delicious and pleasant experience.

It’s a big chain owned by a swanky politician— At least the kids behind the counter are cool.
My son LOVES to come here and play chess while we wait for his mom to get off the train.
I just come for the MALTS!!!

We went last night. it was 10 o clock at night and I was scared they were going to be closed but they were open until 11. For a pregnant chick with a craving, I was beyond thrilled. We ordered the cookie dough explosion. It was their cookie dough ice cream in a chocolate dipped waffle bowl with sprinkles, topped with cookie dough pieces and chocolate sauce. Oberweise ice cream is the best ice cream I’ve ever had. It is so creamy and has a distinct flavor unlike any other. When you combine this with a cleverly concocted sundae such as this, i was on cloud nine. Thanks oberweise for an incredible treat.

I had a few minutes to kill before hopping on the Metra back to downtown, so I popped into the Oberweis for an early pre-​noon dessert. The one scoop of dulce de leche in a cup was pretty tasty and creamy. I’ve had better (I miss the long-​gone Penguin’s gelato-​style dulce de leche) but this will do, especially considering the weather in the Loop would be about 20 degrees cooler than in Mount Prospect. Oberweis also has a mini-​mart (milk, juice… tortilla chips??).

This place is pretty bomb, so many options. I got a waffle bowl with a scoop of mint chip and dark chocolate ice cream… honestly probably some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Their waffle bowl had kind of a strange texture, chewy, not crunchy but it still was tasty.
