Golicks Dairy Bar — Restaurant in Barrington

SO MANY OPTIONS. Golicks has soft serve with 50 flavors, frozen yogurt, and ice cream in about every flavor you may be craving.

After you decide which to choose, then you need to decide HOW to eat your treat: there is cup, cone, waffle cone, dipped waffle cone with variety of goodies, or as a shake or thick frosty, sundae, there are goodies like candies, nuts, etc. which can be added, there are so many combinations you can try. I have not calculated all the possibilities, but be warned: you will need more than 1 trip to try all the interesting options! They will pack for your home freezer, too!

Give yourself time to read the flavor boards (like 4 or 5), don't be shy about asking what all the different presentations are (simple to very custom).

Cash or card, tip your order-taker with cash or venmo!

This place has the vibe of a beloved hometown fair, people in line are usually friendly & the over-all atmosphere is joyful. Charming grass area on which to enjoy your cool dessert, open noon to late (10pm?), a...

My friend and i came here to get some icecream after dinner. i’m not one to complain or ever leave bad reviews but this was an experience. I ordered mine no problem but then my friend orders with the same girl and she asks for a small cup of pumpkin oreo with chocolate jimmie’s and the worker responds “and you said a plain cone” which okay maybe you misheard but no a small cup and she carried on to make the icecream. My friend received her icecream and it was not pumpkin at all so we went back to ask to get pumpkin and instead of just saying “yeah no problem let me fix that!” she responds “well i had you down as a cowabunga crunch” and which my friend says “i’m sorry i ordered a pumpkin oreo” and so the girl goes to go make it and we get the icecream and when we get to the car she tastes it and it’s nothing pumpkin. it’s some random flavor that has a coffee/toffee taste? we didn’t even bother going back to get a new flavor. and we won’t be bothering to come...

We have been there several times, and have always been pleased. They have a play area for young kids, and lots of seating. We have tried several versions of their ice cream, and frozen yogurt, and all of it has been great. The only thing that we hope that they will change is that I wish they would offer more non-dairy choices for people that can't eat dairy (our daughter has a dairy allergy). There are lots of soy or almond alternatives, but the only thing the offer there are two different flavors of sorbet. It would also be nice if they would carry veggie hot dogs. We've asked them several times over a three-year period, and they wouldn't even make the effort... The funny thing is, every business that I know that made an attempt and tried veggie dogs or burgers ended up doing far better than they expected. Oh well, still...
