The Village of Glenview, IL in Cook County is considered a great place to live or visit near Chicago. Its suburban vibe and casual amenities make it an appealing locale to spend some time at a park or experience a new eatery. Here are our four favorite picks for frozen yogurt and ice cream around Glenview.

1. Glenview Dairy Bar

With a convenient location in downtown Glenview, the Dairy Bar is a seasonal favorite for frozen goodies to cool down in warm weather. It’s a window service-only type of business that only accepts cash. You’ll also find hot food stand favorites such as nachos and fries here in addition to cold creamy sweet treats.

Cones, floats, sundaes, and more are offered at the Glenview Dairy Bar along with cool drinks like milkshakes, slushies, smoothies, and sodas. Classic sundaes here include hot fudge and butterscotch, but you may want to try the rocky road, toffee, or coconut sundae too. Intriguing flavors for frozen yogurt or cones may include Blue Goo and Green Apple.

2. Lina’s Frozen Treats and Cafe

In Niles, about a 15-minute drive from Glenview, you can find icy Filipino and Mexican sweets as well as a range of other snack options at Lina’s. The frozen yogurt here is homemade and both the Filipino purple yam Ube and the Mexican cinnamon-vanilla Horchata are popular flavors with many who try them. Other good choices are the lime gelato and the chocolate custard.

Lina’s also has acai bowls, bubble teas, coffee drinks, and smoothies. There are special frozen yogurt party packs you can purchase to go and Lina’s also caters to both personal and corporate events.

3. Village Creamery

The Village Creamery, also in Niles, offers Ube as well as the Filipino frozen dessert, Halo Halo, which features scoops of ice cream on flan cake with yummy jellies. They typically have more unusual frozen treat flavors such as avocado, cantaloupe, and lychee along with classic favorites like butter pecan and chocolate. Dipped cones, sundaes, sorbets, and fountain drinks are available, and you may even want to try a hot snack here such as egg rolls.

4. Love’s Yogurt & Salads

For dine-in, takeout, or delivery, Love’s in Glenview has something for everyone. You can find non-dairy frozen treat options here. There are even potatoes with a wide range of fillings on the menu for potato lovers who maybe would like to end their meal with a frozen dessert. Garden salads, sandwiches, wraps, mac and cheese, and soup are other savory options to enjoy before the sweet picks too.

Smoothies, sundaes, custards, floats, milkshakes, and more round out the menu at Love’s Yogurt & Salads. For serving options, you can choose scoops or small, medium, or large cups of frozen yogurt. If you love classic chocolate and vanilla frozen flavors, you’ll probably love Love’s!
