Kastle Kreme — Restaurant in Galesburg

Review Date: August 8th, 2016

This castle has a moat of ice cream, corn dogs and deliciousness.

I kid. There is actually no moat of ice cream, corn dogs and deliciousness, but there is a counter where you can order some of those.

After driving past Kastle Kreme a few times on my way to Iowa, I finally made a conscientious effort to stop and try their ice cream. I do love me some ice cream shacks.

Boy, what a yummy stop it was.

From what I could tell, you can only walk up and order food. Which is fine, as other ice cream shacks I have been to are similar. For the size of the building, it’s kind of odd that there isn’t an indoor area, unless I am mistaken. It’s about the size of a small business building, if that makes sense. If I can, I will update this blog to reflect any updates I find out about the place.

I ended up ordering a simple ice cream cone. For the life of me, I don’t remember the flavor (probably swirl), even after looking over the menu and my photos. I do remember enjoying the ice cream and thinking how I wish I could get some closer to my home. You really can’t go wrong with most ice cream shacks. Also, you really can’t screw up ice cream.

Looking over their menu, it seems they offer your usual ice cream shack food offerings. Hot dogs, tenderloins, chicken tenders. Your usual lunch or dinner offerings. I didn’t try any of those but they sound yummy. I will have to try some food next time.

It’s not too often I drive to and/or through Galesburg, so who knows when I will get back to the Kastle. I am hoping to revisit it next summer to try their other offerings as I love a good tenderloin and...

Other members of my family just love this place because they always serve a dairy free option, but I just haven't been impressed. The size of cones is totally variable according to who dispensed it, and they aren't careful about who they hand it to at the other window! We were there on a busy night (July 4th) and little kids from our group kept walking up to the serving window and putting their hands out and getting free ice cream - I mean, they were nice about it, but that was pretty embarrassing! It was cute that they sometimes put a face on the cones. The gals helping there are nice enough, but they do need a system of order numbers or something, so they don't get mixed up so constantly if it's a busy night. I have a couple simple suggestions for the owner if they'd like to contact me (graphic designer and business coach...

It's officially summer when Kastle Kreme opens up. Love there icecream and especially there freezes. A freeze is ice cream and a slushie blended together. Perfect on a hot day or if your having a bad day. There just my favorite. My only complaints is they have changed there hrs and close at 8pm now instead of 9. Please go back to 9. And last year they raised there prices considerably. Which I understand it's gonna happen. But now there prices are as much as dairy queen. Just wish it wasn't so much of a increase all at once. The people working always treat me good. No complaints at all with them. I highly recommend stopping and giving them a try just make sure you have cash. That's all they...
