Picture this: It is summertime and the temperature is finally starting to get hot in the city of Chicago. You are at North Avenue Beach soaking up the sunshine or downtown in the city taking in the sights and sounds of one the largest metropolises in America. What's your next move?
Let me tell you what you do next. You indulge in some Ice cream but, you don't just want any ice cream. You want the best ice cream in the city. So, where do you go?
Margie's Candies
How can you possibly resist homemade ice cream and candy? Good thing about Margie's is that there are two locations, an original shop and one located on Montrose Avenue. It's a very classic ice cream shop that will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth.
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
At Jeni's there are
dozens of ice cream, sorbet and frozen yogurt flavors to choose from! The
newest flavors at Jeni's are rootbeer and sweet cream. I just might have stop
in the shop and see what these new flavors are all about.
Bobtail Ice Cream Company
Bobtail is another classic homemade ice cream parlor in Chicago. If you are feeling adventurous you can fill
out a customer creation form and see if Bobtail chooses your flavor suggestion
in their shop. Last years winning flavor was Bananas Foster. Yum!
Lickity Split Frozen Custard and Sweets
George's Ice Cream & Sweets
George's has everything you could possibly want and need in an ice cream shop. Tons of flavors (32 to be exact) and cold drinks for warm days in the city. I could go for one of their Dreamsicle milkshakes right about now!
These are only a FEW of the best ice cream parlors in the city of Chicago. Next time you are in the city, make sure you take the time to stop by these ice cream shops and try some new flavors! You can't buy happiness, but you can definitely still buy ice cream.
