Yum, our first visit here in years and it was a treat. We used to frequent the long ago closed Village Creamery in Skokie years ago but never came here much for whatever reason and despite passing by frequently. I had a halo-halo shaved ice for $10.29. It was a colorful, flavorful, delicious, and satisfying treat. Besides the various content items, I also really particularly enjoyed the shaved ice, which with the frozen milk flavoring, was really more ice cream like than say the regular shaved ice that you might find in a Korean bingsoo treat. At $4.95 per scoop, the prices here are slightly elevated, but there are a lot of nice and exotic Filipino based Asian flavors. There is btw a 3.5% credit card charge here also, so bring cash if you want to save a little bit. This ice cream shop stop also had the same typical and uncanny customer traffic flow I've come to expect. It's totally empty one minute (like when we stepped in), and at any moment a herd will step in, and sure enough it happened again while we were here. It's also a smallish space here, so it doesn't take much of a herd to fill it up. It all makes for fun people watching while enjoying your treat. I will endeavor to return sooner than later next time around.

Amazing ice cream, service is usually slow, homey kind of ambiance but bathrooms are horrible, very very pricey also.

Great ice cream but be prepared for their recent price increases. I've been coming here for over a decade. My son enjoys the Cookie Monster and I love the Jackfruit. This most recent visit surprised me with their prices. My son had a double scoop with two toppings. His ice cream came out to just under $15. The cup is pretty small and it does not retain much of the toppings. A few M&Ms and some crumbs of Oreo. $3.00 is WAY too much to charge for that. They also add a 3% surcharge on credit card purchases. I spent almost $28 for three people to have a total of four scoops of ice cream. That just seems way too expensive. There are other options out there.

I've been going to this place since high-school of 2001. Best ice cream place ever. I always order espresso chip milk shake, and buy 2 pints of mango ice cream.

Great flavors that you can only get at this Filipino ice cream place! They are so good and fresh and flavors you cannot get anywhere else like: jackfruit, lychee, durian, Thai tea, avocado, queso, ube oreo, Superman, matcha green tea, mango, whiskey, red bean, and some traditional ones too like chocolate and strawberry and Rocky road. They give you free samples! For two gigantic scoops (8 oz total or 1/2 pint) it’s was $9.96 including tax. If you bring cash it’s 3.5% less than paying by credit card. Nice staff and nice and quiet environment with seating. You will love the 47 flavors.

I'm actually extremely shook-ith to my core on this one! I had passed by SO many times throughout the years and heard so many good things. I can't quite answer why I hadn't decided to visit up until yesterday (except for the fact that my husband has an extreme sweet tooth and I knew just where to go after dinner!) Service was great. They have an array of different options! From the outside looking in, I assumed it was more Americanized but it's actually Philippino inspired ! Their most popular ice creams are their Ube and/or Ube Oreo, Cookie Monster and their "Halo Halo" concoction that I can't even describe what's on the inside! It's a MUST try. Unique addt flavors include (but are not limited to): Thai tea, Thai Coffee, Pomelo Sorbet, Lychee Flan, Lychee, Buko Pandan, Jackfruit, Sapin-Sapin...and more! Dying to try their leche flan but it's apparently so delicious and so popular they haven't had it in several weeks !

This place is a find. We live in Cicero so this is way off the beaten track for us. We discovered it when we were in the area with some time to kill, but we've already returned once and I will make an effort to continue coming here. Of course they have all the standard flavors and the ice cream is a cut above most places, but the best thing is the sheer variety. Whiskey, queso, halo halo, ube, tiramisu, durian, adzuki red bean, buko Pandan and many more. The first time we came I was too timid and got the Cookie Monster. Very good, but I wished I'd have been braver. So the next time I tried halo halo - very good. I came with my family and we had everything from strawberry cheesecake to coconut to ordinary cookies and cream - everyone was very satisfied. I am looking forward to our next venture out that way to keep trying new flavors!
