We stopped by JoJo’s Shake Bar in downtown Naperville after dinner because clearly dessert is a separate stomach and ours were empty. The shakes here are no joke—towering creations piled with whipped cream, toppings, and enough sugar to make you question your life choices. Ours were delicious, fun, and definitely a step above your average milkshake. At around $14 each, they’re more of a splurge than a quick treat, but honestly, you’re paying for both the shake and the whole experience that comes with it.
The service was excellent. The staff were friendly, quick, and most importantly, very attentive to our son’s nut allergies. As parents, that level of care really makes the difference. Huge props for that.
While we waited, our kids discovered the little arcade corner and instantly disappeared into retro-gaming land. They tag-teamed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and went head-to-head in NBA Jam (“He’s on fire!” made me feel like I was 12 again). I think there were a couple more games too, but nostalgia had me distracted.
Between the shakes, the vibes, and the old-school arcade fun, JoJo’s definitely delivers. Four stars because while the shakes were good, the mountain of whipped cream on top stole the spotlight a little too much for our taste.
