Open for 20 years (since 2001) and year-round, making a wide variety of flavors, from old staples like chocolate and vanilla to purple yam, whiskey, mango, coconut, and more. You can buy to-go packages, cones, shakes, etc., and they have always been friendly and accommodating whenever we stop by. They have waffle bowls, cones, dipped and with toppings, like m&ms, sprinkles and so forth. Great location on the corner of Waukegan and Oakton, across from the public library and post office, near Home Depot, H-Mart and so forth.

Went in with my family and when we were ready to order, the asian girl at the cashier was on her phone knowing she has customers in front of her gave us a rudely attitude as if she doesn’t want to work. Her approach with speaking to customers were definitely making us feel unwelcome. Good products but the specific employee shouldn’t work if customer service isn’t their thing.

Good ice cream... Moderate prices. Family owned business. Flavors native to Philippines!!! Cant get them at Baskin Robbins. Cool.

The variety and deliciousness of flavors are worth the attitude you occasionally get with the younger employees. Prices are on cheap compared to quality and serving size. They could do with telling/ enforcing staff not to use phones during with hours. The staff on their phones treat you like a disruption to their day. Otherswise 5 stars.

I thought all they had was your regular flavor, love the different flavors, at times I get tired of the regular vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. Tried their Halo Halo and the ube ice cream is delicious. Will come back to try different ice cream.

Worst and rudest owners I’ve ever seen. They treat customers as beggars being served free food. If they don’t like working than close the store as there products are tasting worst everytime we are there. So definitely I am going to avoid it from now on.

Different flavor of ice cream like jackfruit. If your tired of vanilla check out this place. There is a small parking lot so parking is not an issue. This place gets busy so be prepared to wait.

My husband and I drove from lombard and arrived in the door at 8:58 pm this Friday because we loved this place so much. There were still customers inside being served. Check your cameras. The 3 workers behind the counter said; were closed. And I said to them; really? Its not 9 pm yet and we just drove all the way from lombard. The male employee said NO. Then turned around and started cleaning with the customers still inside. I would hope in a time like this, when small business owners are struggling just to get business, that these 3 employees deny the possibility of a healthy cash flow for the owners business. I can see now why people just go to McDonalds. Its a shame I had to write this. It really is hard to find good help these days. I am highly disappointed as we have been regular customers for years now. Sadly now you have 2 less.

Extremely dissatisfied!I have been visiting this store since past several years. They have always been low towards customer handling, but we went there because of flavors not available elsewhere. Lately their service and products have declined drastically.I was there 3 days ago and purchased two bubble tea and two largest size of hand packed icecream. The server made diluted shakes with 90% milk and barely any icecream and added 5 pearls of tapioca, and I paid over $50 for my order. Durian icecream which I got in bulk was also very lightly flavored with Durian and is nothing like what they used to sell. I have been calling store since past three days and it goes on voicemail which says that mailbox is full. There is no other way to contact them unless I drive for 1 hour and go there personally.

I am so excited coming to this place for I know I will have the best bubble tea, but when I got what I paid for, the tapioca is so hard especially in the middle. This is NOT how they used to prepare them this bubble shake. Im so disappointed.

It was my first time here and the cashier who was wearing the plaid green shirt was so rude in the way she responded when I asked for a sample. I understood that samples can’t be given due to COVID but I didn’t know that they weren’t offering any. But her demeanor was unappreciated that I refused to buy anything. My boyfriend on the other hand got two scoops and enjoyed it and that’s the only reason why I gave this place two stars. If you don’t like your job get a new one!

Just went in and saw a line of about 6 people, I stood in the line and one of the workers saw me walk in ahead of two customers that came in behind me but she proceeded to take their order first instead of mine. Absolutely unacceptable. I walked out because they dont deserve my hard earned money and there are other places with far better customer service that dont have incompetent workers!

This is a tiny place, with not much seating, and it is on a busy corner, so its not really the best place if you want to go hang out and have ice cream. However the ice cream itself is fantastic. Grab some pints, take them home, or to a park, and hang out there to enjoy it.

Their posted closing time is 11 pm on their official website. I got there around 10 pm on Saturday and they already closed. For a local business, they should be more professional with their times of operation.

Ice cream was delicious as I remembered from 3 years ago. Gave it a 3 bc, they werent using gloves to hold the cone (no wrapper), even w/o covid thats kinda gross.Wait time, not moving and in one spot was like 30 minutes. they only had 2 employees, if it wasnt worth it, wed have left. We saw like 3 families leave.

Great ice cream with tropical flavors like ube, jackfruit, lychee, sapin-sapin. In short, filipino ice cream flavors. Pint sizes are on the expensive side

This place is great. We happily stumbled upon it then have gone there what seems like every week. The flavors are so creamy. You can find your regular flavors like chocolate and vanilla but also premium ones like avocado, Ube, halo halo, whiskey etc. Our go to is green tea. They also sell icecream in tubs if you like it and want to take it home. Bring cash if you dont expect to buy more than $10 worth. They will still take your card but its an extra $0.50 cents to process. Theres some seating inside.

Wiiiiiide like wiiiiide selection of flavors. I always feel embarrassed with how indecisive i get while they wait on me to choose my ice cream. I have to choose wisely since theres only so much space in my stomach. I highly recommend. Oh and they have shaved ice too just in case you are not in the mood for ice cream but still want something cold.

The place has a wide variety of Filipino ice cream. It was my first time here. I had the jackfruit bubble shake. It was delicious. However, I am subtracting points for the service.The guy who helped us was a young guy who was not friendly at all. He looked like he was not happy with what he is doing. He does not know how to connect with a customer. I asked for a copy of my receipt and he looked mad. Begrudgingly handed me my receipt, I thanked him, he turned his back and no response at all. It wont hurt to be friendly, I am not trying to get free food.😄

Do you like ice cream? Be prepared to taste a different kind. Filipino style is creamier than American ice cream, similar to but lighter than gelato. Feast on your regular fare (pistachio, strawberry, chocolate chip) or you can try the best of Filipino flavors such as ube (oooo-beh) taste similar to taro, macapuno - a young coconut variety, avocado, melon (cantaloupe), buko-pandan and many more. Plus you can take home these excellent flavors in various sizes.

Was highly recommended by a relative. Im glad I drove here despite this being out of the way. The ice creams are so flavorful, definitely one of the best home made ice creams I had. Try the sapin sapin or halo halo. If youre brave try the durian flavor. Also very friendly and quick service. They only accept credit cards if the total is more than $10. Parking is generally available in the complex

Village Creamery has my bestest 🙃🤭ice cream flavor of all time (well, equal to Baskin-Robbins chocolate chip) And that is... UBE! 🤩😋🥳 I believe that its a purple sweet potato. The 🍌 banana is very banananie and they have many flavors popular in the Philippines 🇵🇭 such as jackfruit, halo halo, avacado and green tea. They make ice cream cakes and pies to order and they have bubble shakes. Fun place to go after shopping at Home Depot.

Favorite place for bubble tea. Fair prices. Friendly staff. And definitely love that the bubble tea is made with the ice cream. Most bubble tea places Ive gone to have bubble tea that I feel tastes watered down from so much ice and taste more like a slushie. The bubble tea here is perfect!
