"There are plenty of fun, colorful ice creams found around Chicago, but the menu items at Eli’s Ark are arguably the cutest of the bunch. A mom-and-pop gelato shop that opened in 2018, Eli’s squee-worthy scoops are shaped like animals — think pigs with pink marshmallow snouts and pandas with miniature Oreo ears. Even adults can appreciate the charm, and there’s even a social media-friendly backdrop for photos." - Jeffy Mai
