| - Oberweis brings in some hefty competition competition to the Chambana ice cream scene.
Being a chain store, Oberweis has many locations throughout the Chicagoland area, some of which I've visited in the past. While the milk is good, the ice cream and shakes here are better. In fact, there is only one thing I consistently order at any Oberweis: the ice cream shake. The whip cream with the Oberweis milk and ice cream all combine to make a delicious and amazing dessert. Every shake gets topped off with a piroutte chocolate hazelnut wafer stick, which is fun. I have nothing against the other items on their menu but the shakes here are my go-to item. My only complaint would be the pricing could be a bit better, especially considering the ice cream shops in town.
On my visit here, I got a caramel shake, which was great and tasted on par to what I've previously had at other locations. The service was a bit slow as there was only one person at the counter taking orders for a pretty big line; however, there was minimal wait in getting the shake after placing the order. It was nice to see that they've kept the tradition of having some tables where you can play chess, though it always seemed a bit of a sticky situation with the sweet milky desserts around as you played.
While I think it will be hard for Oberweis to beat the other local ice cream favorites, they offer many delicious ice cream related desserts and add a nice variety of options to the other ice cream and dairy options in town.
