Chicago Mike's Ice Cream Co.

http://www.chicagomikesicecream.com/

Open 4-9 Tue-Thur 4-10 Fri 1-10 Sat 1-9 Sun
Closed Mondays (the one day I did walk over there of course)

It is in the former Highwood Fire Station on the west side of the railroad tracks and just north of downtown.

An adjacent business in the same building is a coffee house.

The former Bobtail Ice Cream parlor has been converted to Johnson’s Real Ice Cream. It’s an Ohio company with ties to Bobtail’s owners.

Haven't seen this place mentioned yet. Yummy District has a kiosk in Schaumburg's Woodfield Mall that does Turkish style stretchy ice cream. They usually have 5-6 flavors, and my favorites so far are the pistachio and pear. Deep, rich flavors, and they don't taste artificial. Very friendly owner, and he or his sister is usually there.

Other than I can't imagine stepping foot into Woodfield mall, I would love to try their ice cream.

I feel you. Park near the Macy's, walk through Macy's to get to the first floor, and it's pretty centrally located (diagonal from the Garrett's stand). I find it worth the mall trawl.

If you're not usually in the Schaumburg area, the mall is also within a 10 minute or less drive to some good Japanese restaurants (Torizen, Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai, and Daruma).

Lovin’ Scoop at 4032 N. Milwaukee Ave. opened Friday and sells ice cream cones, milkshakes, sundaes and espresso drinks. Co-owner Billy Taleb partnered with popular gourmet brand Capannari Ice Cream and Catering, a family-owned business based in Mount Prospect, Illinois.
