№1
Pretty Cool Ice Cream
Logan Square
“Dana Cree's ex-Publican pastry-chef novelty-bar shop is the cross-publication consensus pick for Chicago ice cream; the Cornflake Crunch and Avocado Lime Sherbet bars are iconic.”
№2
Margie's Candies
Bucktown
“The 1921 Armitage-and-Western sundae parlor is untouchable Chicago history; the turtle sundae in a giant shell dish is the city's most-loved nostalgic order per every local guide.”
№3
Black Dog Gelato
Ukrainian Village
“Jessica Oloroso's Damen Avenue gelato counter is a chef-favorite; goat cheese cashew caramel and Mexican chocolate gelato are Eater and Time Out consensus top picks.”
№4
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Lincoln Park
“Jeni Britton's grassfed ice cream — brambleberry crisp and salty caramel — is a cross-city consensus brand that Chicago publications keep on their essential ice-cream short-list.”
№5
Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge
Near North Side
“Not local-born but the Magnificent Mile fudge-and-ice-cream counter is the long-standing Time Out and Chicago Tribune tourist picks pick; Mackinac Island Fudge is the city-defining scoop.”
