Pretty Cool Ice Cream — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

We low-key have been hyping ourselves up for a visit by watching the Insta feed, and they really delivered. Staff was super attentive and sweet, offering up encouragement when we did what everyone else does on seeing the extensive menu, we hemmed and hawed for a solid 5 minutes. I went in thinking I was going to get the Key Lime pie-scile but ended up going Sour Cherry. Mine was the best in the group of four + toddler. My husband ordered the Buttermilk Chocolate but regretted switching it up and went home eating the Chocolate Crunch custard a much happier camper.

There wasn’t any ice cream at all, I even asked the counter girl. What I did like about Pretty Cool it has good A/C and the bathrooms are clean. There’s a water fountain near the bathrooms. It has a strange layout like your in a day...

I was introduced to their ice cream bars when a famous Chicago pro wrestler gave an ice cream bar to each of the 24,000 fans that were in attendance at the United Center. It may have been a chocolate covered vanilla ice cream bar, but it was my new favorite vanilla ice cream. I just had to try their other flavors for myself. You can’t go wrong with ANY of their flavors whether it’s their bars dipped in chocolate or not. I’ve had their banana cream, grasshopper (mint chip), coffee pretzel, and peanut butter and I like them ALL (although peanut butter is my weakness). They are definitely my new favorite ice cream shop. You could say they’re the...
