Darling place inside of a gorgeous park. I was in the mood for ice cream and a search brought me here. Its just a tiny building with an overhang and some picnic tables. But you get to take in the fresh air and relax while watching people and dogs walk by.
I got the Sweet basil gelato, which was picked precisely because it sounded weird. And honestly? It was delicious but it tasted more like matcha than basil, but either way I was fine with it.
The people working were so nice as well. A little pricey but the gelato is very rich and you dont need much of it. Cute place, I would definitely return!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 20, 2023
Love this place. Grab some Dole Whip and walk around the park on a nice day! The space is family and dog friendly with Vegan, Gluten Free, and Pup-Cup options. Six picnic tables provide ample space for large groups to hang out while finishing their ice cream.
The only issue I ever have is the prices which can be a bit high, depending on which size and type of frozen treat you order. Specifically, I think the $4 size does not have enough more than the $2 size to be worth it.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sep 13, 2022
This small snack shop is tucked in a shady and serene part of Washington Park. It's mostly for a quick treat of hand-dipped ice cream, or a cola or snack. Though there are heavy wooden picnic tables under a roof, you're not going to have a substantial meal here because of the limited menu.
Offers a Pup Cup of dairy-free ice cream for your canine guest.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - J D.Delafield, WI012Jun 3, 2023

This is a neat little place. The guy working was super friendly and very knowledgeable about his products. The guy was super into letting us try the stuff and making sure we got something we really would enjoy. The inside was extremely clean. He dole whip with the ice cream twist was amazing! I do have to say the dole whip stuff was a bit much by itself but very good with the ice cream twisted with it. The cookie dough ice cream was amazing!
I do have to say though I was shocked the pace didn't have any AC!!! I felt sorry for the guy having to work in that hot room.
I can wait to go back and try some of his other stuff.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dian M.Springfield, IL01Jul 12, 2017First to Review
We discovered this little place while at the park with the grand children. This is a great place to end a wonderful day at Washington Park.
