Visit on weekday afternoons (2-4pm) before school lets out for the shortest lines. Summer evenings get packed, so weeknights are better than weekends. Spring and fall offer comfortable weather for enjoying cones while strolling the charming Dundee neighborhood.
What to Know
Expect to spend $8-12 per person for cones or cups. Street parking is available but can be tight during peak hours. It's a small shop with limited indoor seating, so plan to enjoy your treats while walking around the neighborhood.
