iCream, You Cream

iCream Opens

Sure, you make sex jokes every time you walk by iCream.

But deep down, you’re dying for it to open.

Don’t blow your load. iCream opened this weekend, and believe us when we tell you — we’ve never had better.

The scoop: Everything is customized. First, pick your liquid base: regular or low-fat ice cream, frozen yogurt, soy, or sorbet. Next, choose a flavor (green tea, pistachio, root beer, and lots more) and a variety (sweetened, unsweetened, sugar-free). In under a minute, it’s whipped into being using liquid nitrogen. (You get to watch.) Finally, top it off with mix-ins like fresh fruit, candy, or Nutella.

iCream also serves dairy and soy hot pudding (it’s exactly what you think), shakes, smoothies, and coffee drinks, customized using the same system.

You’ll leave fully satisfied.

Unlike other experiences.

iCream, 1537 North Milwaukee Avenue, between Damen Avenue and Honore Street (773-342-2834).
