Village Creamery

Haven't been here in years and it's still delicious! This is a great place to stop if you want to try something different than your usual ice cream flavors because they have Filipino inspired flavors of ice cream. I ended up ordering two scoops of the avocado ice cream and bought a small tub of ube to take home.

Open for 20 years (since 2001) and year-round, making a wide variety of flavors, from old staples like chocolate and vanilla to purple yam, whiskey, mango, coconut, and more. You can buy to-go packages, cones, shakes, etc., and they have always been friendly and accommodating whenever we stop by. They have waffle bowls, cones, dipped and with toppings, like m&ms, sprinkles and so forth. Great location on the corner of Waukegan and Oakton, across from the public library and post office, near Home Depot, H-Mart and so forth.

Great Filipino flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. If you're looking for ube, buko pandan, halo halo, or macapuno... this is your place! The cashier is also always efficient and willing to help explain the menu if you ever need help. Pictured are matcha and buko pandan bubble shakes. Both have strong flavors, but aren't off-putting at all. Definitely sweet, but it's a creamery after all.
