Kimmer's Ice Cream — Restaurant in Elmhurst

I seriously do not know what is up with this town! Everywhere I go, I get weird looks, and it only happens in this general area! The moment I walked in, the cashier and the table in front of her immediately stopped talking and looked at me awkwardly.

The whole time I was there, they kept sneaking glances and acting like my mere presence offended them. The cashier was the main perpetrator of this. The only reason this shop is getting 2 stars is because my grandma loves the ice cream (although she said the "strawberry ice cream" they gave me didnt taste like strawberries at all, just vanilla). But thankfully, she didn't have to deal with this nonsense. Go up a few blocks to either Sweet Circle or Kilwin's. CarmieCakes is especially good at customer service.

In general, she was incredibly polite and helpful. All I can say is if she lived in Iowa, I'd hire her in a second! Kimmer's, you've found a great...

Update: 11/15/23: I did a two scoop with root beer float and parent trap (cookies and cream with peanut butter). Great combination. You get the sweetness from the root beer float and the little bit of saltiness from the peanut butter. It was never too sweet nor too salty. Just the right amount of each.

Located in downtown Elmhurst. A lot of free parking spaces. The employees were very nice. We got pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate peppermint bark, pumpkin, and Aztec hot chocolate. They have a lot more flavors than what they advertise on their website. My favorite was the chocolate peppermint bark. Great seasonal flavor for the holidays. Pumpkin cheesecake was a...
