Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream

This is a wonderful ice cream shop! It is clean, inviting with high quality ice cream from Madison, WI. The owners are so kind and welcoming. Best of all they have a rotating soy-​based/​vegan ice cream option. I have a child with a dairy allergy and it is amazing to have a place he can go and get a cone.

Super flavorful ice cream and very nice staff (or owners?). I had a single scoop with two flavors (Turtle and yippee skippee) on a chocolate dipped waffle cone. Perfect for a warm Chicago day.

Zanzibar ice cream cake is the best thing on the planet.
Better than roses, better than kisses, better than an apology, and better than a card.
Any occasion warrants such a gift for another human being.
Come here for ice cream cakes. And ice cream. And fudge.
And this location is kosher.
Lordy have mercy.

Really great ice cream. I will make sure to stop in the next time I am in the Chicago area.

Hands down, the best ice-​cream I have ever had, words cannot give this ice cream justice. It’s amazing, so rich and flavorful. They have really unique flavors that other places don’t have. Their prices are a little high, but trust me, it’s worth every single penny.

Since moving into the areas about two weeks ago I’ve probably stopped in here more than four or five times. Normally I don’t have to much ice cream, for me it’s maybe twice a month and that goes for bringing home tubs as well. Though since trying their ice cream it’s like I’m addicted and just crave it all the time during our busy and stressful move into our new house. Overall I found my new regular place. The owners are so friendly and sweet, their flavors are amazing and they have a great selection of UNIQUE flavors to choose from. So glad I stopped in!

First of all — this place kills Oberweis.
We had the Zanzibar chocolate ice cream and the chocolate espresso chip. The Zanzibar chocolate was an explosion of chocolate — fudgy, bitter, sweet, smooth. all at once. It was probably the best chocolate ice cream i’ve ever tasted. It wasn’t one flavor profile of sugar and cream. just awesome.
The espresso chip was delectable — they advertise their caffiene ice creams as ACTUALLY having caffiene. and boy were they right, lol. I was really awake after 2 scoops of the espresso chip.
They’ve got loads of other flavors as well, aome unique and quirky, and the typical strawberry/​vanilla/​chocolate.
The shop itself is small and has tables with 2 chairs each all along one wall… kind of small but good place for a quick drop in. They sell their oce cream in cartons as well, if u don’t want a cone or cup. Milkshakes, smoothies, root beer/​ice cream floats are also on the menu.
If you’re in the area and have a hankering for ice cream. give this place a visit.

Ohmygee!!! 1^st time here and satisfied. We had the coconut almond bliss and the zanibar chocolate ice cream. Delicious! My bf was savoring every nite. It really hit the spot. They have many other flavors to choose from.

Best ice cream to get if you’re NOT on a diet. Try my favorite: zanzibar. Best chocolate ice cream ever!!! No, seriously.

You will be greeted by smiling faces! It is the best ice cream we have found in terms of both selection and quality. Clean fun shop and the kids love it.

This place isn’t selling ice cream. There selling a way of life. The ice cream is so smooth I’m drooling just thinking about it. The place needs more costumers to stay open. People just need to find out about it it’s in a little corner and needs more marketing or something. The only thing I don’t like is the price it’s a bit expensive in my opinion. If they came down on the prices it would be more realistic to get and cut out the big box brands and replace it with this. But everything perfect besides the price.

Out of all ice cream places I have been to, this feels like a creamery. Their flavors are unique and they even have fudge!
Also they have self serve frozen yogurt with rotating flavors.
Definitely a place worth checking out and as a bonus they happen to be kosher too! Enjoy!

Love Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream! Great selection of flavors, with lots of unique ones. The flavor selection is especially great if you like chocolate. They have a dark chocolate ice cream called «Zanzibar», which they also use in several other flavors «Zanzimint» (Zanzibar chocolate and mint) and «Zoreo» (Zanzibar chocolate and oreo). Excellent ice cream, plus all the flavors are kosher. And the owner is so sweet and welcoming — she always greets customers warmly, making this feel like a real neighborhood place, not just some random store with good ice cream.

Went here after a haircut next door. Happy to find such a great place for a sweet treat. Best ice cream and pleasant place! My almost 9-​year old son says he would take this ice cream over just about any other ice cream place.

I’ve been to the other location on Devon many times, but as my friend Christine said, I drive by here all the time and don’t know what took me so long to stop in!
It turns out that it’s the same company, yet each store operates independently. This one is so cute! The ice cream comes from Wisconsin and comes in several different flavors. I tried samples but had a hard time deciding what I wanted. When I saw that they had frozen yogurt, I got that instead, but had a pint hand packed with two of the chocolate flavors (Zanzibar and Halley’s Comet) to take home to my family.
The gentleman and woman who were working were both very nice, answering all my questions, and very accommodating. He was happy to pack whatever I wanted with no trouble. A few other customers came in while I was there, and I noticed that they were regulars. One lady was buying the homemade fudge for her office, and another lady had three kids who knew exactly what specialty flavors they wanted. I’m so happy that I came in and will definitely be back!

Staff are always nice and ice cream is quality and delicious. Place is clean and their selection of flavors runs from common to pretty unique.

Excellent ice cream from Wisconsin!
Made with all natural ingredients.
Its cold fresh very flavorful. I had Fat Elvis, banana ice cream with real peanut butter and shaved dark chocolate pieces. My friend had the Butter Pecan, fresh pecans with creamy ice cream. Yum Yum
Very clean interior, many cone choices and chocolate bowl choices.
They also have a self serve frozen yogurt station with four flavors and your choice toppings.
Simply the most delicious ice cream I have eaten this Summer.
They open at 1pm. A nice lunch break stop:)

Nothing is more exciting than walking into an ice cream store and being told that you can sample all the flavors you want. Now, that’s what I’m talking about! It really does make a difference because you think you want one flavor, but then you try it and it’s like «ehhhhh», and then you try another flavor like the ZANZIBAR CHOCOLATE and it’s like «whoa whoa whoa whoa where have you been all my life?». So yeah, this place is good and the peeps are friendly.

I have passed by this area at least a few times a week for most of my life and I do not know what took me so long to get in here.
They have really good ice cream with flavors you wouldn’t usually expect from a small place like this. For my first visit I decided to try their Snap-​O-​Lantern (a seasonal flavor) which consists of Pumpkin Ice Cream with Gingersnap cookies and a flavor that I am forgetting the name of (but it came with a little of everything — cookie dough, brownie bites, caramel). The Gingersnap cookies weren’t very snappy, but the flavor really came through. I liked it a lot!
They have so many other really interesting flavors, I can’t wait to come back! So glad they are open all year long!

My first experience with this cute little shop was on my son’s first day of Kindergarten as a special treat, and what a treat it was! The gentleman running the store gave a warm greeting and patiently waited on us as our kids changed their minds a hundred times (and then some) on which flavor ice cream they wanted. He offered us a taste of them without any annoyance, which was helpful because my kids often say they want one thing and then turn around and say they don’t like it. My son settled on the one that had bits of cake mixed in, and my daughter had the lemon raspberry sorbet (in a cone of course). Upon seeing us struggle a bit with the drippage because they weren’t able to consume it quick enough, he offered a few extra empty cups to us.
I loved the atmosphere of the shop, from the row of candy toppings lining the top of the ice cream bar to the bits of sweets décor that adorn the walls and the upbeat tunes in the background. The booths could stand to be a bit bigger, but it’s not anything that would keep me from going back. The kids scoop size is well over what you’d get at 31 flavors, and the ice cream was just as tasty. They’ve got smoothies there for the non-​ice-​cream fan as well. The manager engaged the kids in chatter and even gave us a little coupon when we were getting ready to leave, which was a pleasant surprise. I understand that the shop recently re-​opened under new ownership… Seems to me this owner understands the value of sweetness to our community. We’re looking forward to indulging again soon!
