Kimmer’s Ice Cream

Kimmer’s is a smaller ice cream shop that sells high quality ice cream. The employees were friendly and the ice cream was delish. The adjoining parking lot is a little small though, so be prepared to park elsewhere on busy nights.

Great old ice cream shop. Good coffee and ambiance, love this place.

best icecream cakes i have ever tasted! =D

Have been searching for quality, homemade ice cream after relocating to the Chicago burbs from New England. We finally found it at Kimmer’s. They offer a wide variety of premium flavors (think Aztec Chocolate and Key Lime Pie) along with homemade waffle cones. The quality is exactly what you hope to find when someone puts care and high quality ingredients into their product. The texture was sufficiently «sticky» which you find in high quality ice cream and perfectly smooth and creamy. Their most popular flavor is Parent Trap, a combination of chocolate, peanut butter and other deliciousness. Will try that next visit.
We went to the Wheaton location on Friday night during a classic car show. The line was at least 10 people long but moved quickly due to hard working and friendly staff. Kimmer’s competes with at least two other ice cream parlors on Main St in Wheaton. If you judge by the line, Kimmer’s has the competition beat.
My only recommendation is to post the rotating flavors on the wall instead of the ice cream case. There are so many flavors to choose from in addition to the standards.
We’re so happy to have finally found the solution to our ice cream dilemma in the Chicago burbs. Kudos to Kimmer’s.

Great little shop. The Caramel Sea Salt and Parent Trap was killer! I also found out there’s another location in Wheaton, which is a bit closer to me so I’ll definitely hit that shop. But since we have friends up in St. Charles, I’m making it a point to stop there and eventually trying all their flavors. Staff was very friendly too.

Mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream flavor, so naturally, I had to buy it. Before I chose that however, I sampled a few other flavors to kind of get an idea of what they were like (but mint always overrides all flavors haha). The lady upfront was patient and scooped with a smile so customer service was on point!
But when I tasted the ice cream, it wasn’t bad, but not great either. I wouldn’t go back for the mint ice cream, but maybe to try out other flavors instead. Some of these flavors piqued my curiosity so I’m not entirely finished with Kimmer’s haha. A good place to cool off from the summer heat!
They also have ice cream pies and cakes that sound promising, as well as cookie sandwiches.
Here are a few frozen creations they offer:
~Classic Turtle Pie
~Perfect Pumpkin Spice Pie
~Chocolate Peppermint Pie
~Caramel Sea Salt and Fudge Pie
~Chocolate Candy Cane Cookie Sandwiches
~Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches
Yum.

Cute ice cream shop! Tried the caramel sea salt and didn’t have to try anything else. She stated this is their best seller. The single scoop was more than enough for me and I got it on a sugar cone. My boyfriend got the piña colada in a cup and he liked it. I did see their special cone display but there were no cones in it. It was probably because we were there 20 minutes before closing. I really appreciated the customer service. I know most places/​people hate when you walk in right before closing, but they welcomed us and told us to let her know if we’d like any samples. After paying she even let us know they close at 11 but we’re welcomed to stay until then. We didn’t plan on staying but it was nice she offered. I didn’t get a chance to really look around and into the freezer to see what else they offer. They have punch cards and every 10 scoops you get one free. She mentioned on Thursday’s they do double punches. They have daily specials too but I didn’t read much into it or get a picture. It was something like wear a jersey or bring in a receipt from a local restaurant and get 10% off on a certain day. This location is about 15−20min away from us and I’d come back. They have another location in Wheaton as well.

The ice cream was good albeit a little pricy. My wife and I both went there and got the brownie fudge sundae and the brownies were both burnt to the container and thin and we left disappointed for what we paid. We have gotten the same sundae at Oberweis and for roughly the same price we had a better, more filling sundae.
We both enjoy supporting smaller establishments but expect roughly the same quality product and experience when paying a comparable price.

I frequent Kimmer’s every time I’m in town and it never fails to disappoint. However, tonight I wanted to take the children I nanny out for a scoop of ice cream. I checked what time Kimmer’s closed and it clearly said 10 pm, so I packed up the kids and we left. We got there at exactly 9:45, I’m aware that this is close to closing time, however it’s summer. In Chicago. It’s hot at all hours of the day and night. So please tell me why an ice cream shop wouldn’t be open? Why would any shop not be open until they say? Very upset about this. So we’re the kids. If you want to close at 9:30, fine. But let your loyal customers know.

Just recently moved to the area and received a recommendation from a friend and had the salted Carmel pie at work which was amazing! Took my family here and they all loved it we will definitely be back again!

I am sorry to write a bad review of a place that I used to really enjoy but tonight my family received such poor treatment I have no choice. We waited to order our ice cream in the crowded area patiently with our two year old when the teenage worker choose to serve a couple of teenagers ahead of us. When I was finally served the two single dishes we ordered the portions were ridiculously small I mean literally we both had two bites. A woman behind me was polite enough to ask if we had been waited on and when I mentioned we had been but I appreciated her asking since the previous customers cut the workers didn’t apologize they simply rolled their eyes. Needless to say despite the quality of the ice cream I will not be back I have had larger sample servings on previous visits!

Kimmer’s is very reminiscent of your all American ice cream parlor. It’s the type of ice cream shop you imagine going to as a kid. They have standard flavors that kids are sure to enjoy (ie. cookies and cream, peanut butter, golden oreo, chocolate chip cookie dough). Most of the flavors sounded overly sweet and not really the types of flavors I usually go for. I ended up getting a double scoop with Golden Oreo and Jamocha (coffee mixed with mocha). Both flavors, while good, were nothing amazing and the ice cream consistency wasn’t anything to rave about either. Honestly, between Haagen Dasz and Kimmer’s, I prefer the former.
The server was really nice and took the time to explain how their ice cream is handmade daily and was also really patient with letting us try various flavors. However, the inner ice cream snob in me, just can’t give Kimmer’s anything more than a 3.

Oh my gosh, this place is a fat kid’s dream come true. They have so many inventive flavors… Parent Trap (oreos and peanut butter) and Cinnamon Bun (with real chunks of cinnamon roll in it) are two of my favorites. My friend loves the caramel sea salt, which is delicious as well. They also have some really fun dipped cones (they cost extra, so I haven’t actually tried one yet).
Be warned, the ice cream is extremely rich. If you’re not used to eating such rich sweets, you may go home with a stomachache (I usually do)…but it’s totally worth it. For a while, I got into a bad habit of stopping a few times a week on my way home from work. Luckily I’ve since quit that habit, as it was making my pants fit not so well This place has great ice cream, but I definitely need to make it a special occasion spot instead of a weekly habit!
I would love to try one of their ice cream cakes sometime… maybe my next birthday?

Amazing homemade ice cream and service. The girl who took care of us was sweet, helpful, and enthusiastic. My boyfriend got the caramel sea salt and I got the sweet 6 – 3, which was the caramel sea salt with pretzel and dark chocolate. They were both fantastic and exactly the sweet treat we were looking for tonight! I originally thought the dark chocolate in the sweet 6 – 3 would be like chocolate chips, but it was fudge-​like. I loved it! Definitely going back.

A small, cute, and quaint ice cream shop. They make their own ice cream and have your typical flavors like cookies and cream and mint chocolate chip. I liked their salted caramel ice cream. I usually order a scoop on their famous glitter cones. Would highly recommend this place for anyone craving ice cream.

Seriously. The Parent Trap Oreo and peanut butter ice cream with a pretzel cone is sooooo good! I tasted a few options during my last visit… cinnamon pecan (with HUGE pecan pieces!), mint chocolate chip, apple cider sorbet… one was better than the next.
There is not one negative thing that I can think to say about Kimmer’s. They make fresh ice cream on a regular basis. No time for icy crud to build up because the turnover is great! They have some seating inside and it’s so cute in their. White light. A pink Christmas tree :-) Pink and crystal chandeliers. Plus when you walk in the door, it smells AMAZING!!! It’s the cones they’re making. Yummy! The service is great and the portions are plentiful. If you haven’t been to Kimmer’s yet, I would highly encourage you to stop by.

Such a cute shop! There are tons of flavors and they all looked amazing. We had cinnamon (delish), vanilla and mint chip. They were all really tasty.
There’s so much personality in the store, I absolutely loved it. They have a bunch of grab and go pints and cakes as well.
Can’t wait to go back!

When I walked in I was greeted in an instant, and also asked how my day was going. That wasn’t the end of the discussion but customer service was at five stars from the get go. Let’s get to what really matters though. the ice cream…
I’ve been here before but it was prior to putting my stamp on Unilocal reviews. Today’s choice was easy, I went for the sea salt caramel. There were a few other choices that really tempted me though including cinnamon, a flavor rarely seen. My son went Neapolitan choosing a scoop each of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. He was very pleased. Getting back to the sea salt caramel… it had a good flavor. Not the best I’ve had, not even top three, but still good. One drawback was the temperature of the ice cream. A quick brain freeze off licks tells confirmed the ice cream was over frozen.
I read the articles on the walls as I sat and ate my ice cream and quickly deduced that the gal who greeted me was also the owner. As there were no other patrons I asked her a few questions about her store. Very pleasant person to talk to, she has a penchant (and deep love) for ice cream.
I’ll be back to try a couple other flavors for sure.
Cheers.

Kimmer’s can do no wrong!
My first time here was about a week ago. I was greeted immediately and, upon saying it’s my first time in, the energetic, friendly girl behind the counter told me all about Kimmer’s’ ice cream & cones. I went for parent trap and chocolate peanut butter. It was an unbeatable combo!
Then today I stopped in for a scoop of cake batter. This was so much better than any cake batter ice cream I’ve ever had, with actual cake pieces, sprinkles, and frosting all mixed into super creamy, delicious ice cream!
Long story short: Go to Kimmer’s, get ice cream, and you’ll be beyond happy you did!
The only downside: I think it was a bit pricey. I paid over $ 5 for 2 scoops in a cone. But that’s not going to knock off a star because the product was that good.

After having my third cup of coffee at Arcedium, I need something to cool down with. Thankfully, Kimmer’s is just around the corner to satisfy my ice cream cravings.
Kimmer’s has the most creative ice cream flavors: Aztec Hot Chocolate, Coffee and Donuts, and my personal favorite, The Parent Trap (cookies and cream with peanut butter swirl – yes, please!) Plus, that’s not to mention the option of getting your ice cream in a pretzel cone. A pretzel cone! It can’t get any better than that.
With so many unique flavors to choose from, the friendly and attentive staff is quick to offer samples until you’ve settled on a flavor – or two, or three…
Long story short, if you find yourself in the St. Charles area with a sweet tooth, head on over to Kimmer’s. You won’t regret it!
