Kimmers - love the caramel w sea salt.

oh man.... oh man... I'm gonna have to say All Chocolate Kitchen, just because it has dairy-free gelato and I recently discovered I'm allergic to milk. But Grahms is amazing. In so many ways.

There is no contest. The All Chocolate Kitchen wins hands down. Their gelato and ices are superb! There is nothing like the lemon ice on a hot day. They have an ever-changing selection of flavors. They are happy to give you a sample of any flavor. Their gelatos make a perfect ending to an at home dinner, or dinner at a local restaurant. I'm anxious to try some of their other desserts. The creme brulee and chocolate desserts look superb. They would make great desserts for at home entertaining. They are big enough to share with several people. My family always feels like we are in an European village when we have their treats. Geneva is so fortunate to have them!

GRAHAM'S. All the way! Best Ice Cream & Chocolate place in the tri-city area! Doesn't hurt that they also have excellent customer service!

Poblano pepper grill may not be an ice cream parlor but they do have a dish called buñuelos which is a fried tortilla coated in cinnamon and sugar accompanied with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream and to top it off hot fudge drizzle. By far to die for. Food and margaritas are also outstanding!
Jayni Wunderlich August 1, 2012 at 09:06 pm
Oh my gosh Todd...that sounds AMAZING. I've never even heard of that place! I'm going to have to eat there!

Best place by far in the western suburbs for anything chocolate. Wonderful flavor and texture. Chef Roby is the best!! Beautiful inside plus lots of chocolate surprises. Hope you enjoy your chocolate experience as much as I did. ENJOY!!!

The only way I could get my 10 year old daughter to go on a 4 mile walk was to bribe her with All Chocolate Kitchen's pistachio gelato!!!!! So lucky to have real gelato in our town!!!!
Christopher Cudworth August 6, 2012 at 01:57 pm
Which one allows you to pour ice cream over your head and let it run down into your mouth. That's who I'll vote for. In the meantime I go to Graham's.
Betty Oetting August 9, 2012 at 09:29 pm
Graham's for the win!
Angel Bernahl August 10, 2012 at 02:34 am

What ever happened to the difference between authentic italian gelato and ice cream? They're really separate categories...
John August 14, 2012 at 11:51 pm

Hands down All Chocolate Kitchen! Every time I walk in its like walking into my best friends house. Its a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is very knowledgeable on the food and always so friendly to all that walk in. The gelato and sorbeto is always made fresh and I never get bored with the flavored because Chef Roby and his staff are always coming up with new flavors. I can't say enough on what wonderful place this is and the greatest gelato they serve. You guys are the best !!!!!

Hope all of you Dem's have your Obamaphones, welfare checks, and unfunded Illinois pensions workin'Read More for you. Democrats are destroying IL. Business and real estate is rockin' in Republican states. Get it?

Martina, were you upset when Cheney and Bush implemented the NSA programs? The real estate isRead More booming in CA, last time I checked it was a BLUE state. Fracking, oil, and shale are booming in RED states, so is that a good thing? Not really, I would like to get off of all fossil fuels.
