The Freeze

It may be nostalgia, but this place always has good ice cream. They take cash and card now. Brownie Sundae is my absolute favorite for the extra bits. Please visit and pls tip!!

I had the taffy apple sundae and it was delicious. We also tried the pineapple soft serve and a frozen chocolate covered banana and everyone enjoyed it. Prices are great!

It has become our favorite dessert stop. Superb ice creams 😌 Waiting in long ques to order and get your ice creams is worth the wait. Their almond delight was delectable, you feel almonds in each bite. I recommend trying their parfaits and banana split with almonds. Excellent idea for surprise after dinner dessert date. 😍

I’ve always wanted to try this place so I finally did. It was sooo good, they have several options and very reasonable prices. The service was amazing!!! The girls working there were very friendly. The service was also really fast considering they had a line.

This place has been around since I was a child, and still hits the spot every time I visit. Service is always spot on, great prices that can't compete with any other place, and never dissapoint with their ice cream🙏🏽💅🏽

It was good but the Apple sundae it was little bit too much. Caramel it was outside the cup and little apples

From what I have seen today I am very disappointed in “The Freeze” They charge like it’s gourmet, but serve it like they ran out of everything and hoped you wouldn’t notice. No Strawberry topping like they would do & The nuts? I had to look for them. This was a scam in a bowl. Never again. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else.

Been coming here since I was a kid, now I bring my kids too. Ahhh wish they still sold all that hot food like they did 20 years ago... but the Hot fudge brownie sundae is the best always with extra sprinkles ! Absolutely highly recommend, give these people all of your money!!! Such a hidden gem 💎 ✨️ Definitely trying the frozen chocolate dipped bananas next time !!!

I got the worms and dirt and ordered a medium... but let me tell you, their "medium" is basically a large in disguise. I was not prepared. It was HUGE--I couldn't even finish it! The staff was super nice though, which made the whole experience even better. 10/10 recommend if you're ever in the area. Next time I'll be smarter and go smaller, haha.

I stopped here for a treat. Window says hours are 1pm-10pm. It's after 1pm on a Tuesday and no one is here. Place is closed. I totally came out of my way to visit. Ugh. Poor business practice.

Yummy ice cream sundae with the works! The cherry was fresh! My husband enjoyed his root beer malt. The staff that took our order was friendly. They have a few picnic tables to eat at. A little pricey but probably on target for similar places like this.

Looking for a place with soft creamy ice cream and options? Well friends look no further! This place has it all! Options, soft and very tasty ice cream. The service was awesome, they are quick knowledgeable and friendly. Dancing it up as they make their sundaes and dipped cones this little ice cream shop is a treat! Don't pass this place up!

My family and I have been customers of Tastee Freeze for many many years. The service is fast and prices are reasonable. Even when the lines are big, they move quickly. Everything is customizable so everyone can find something they like. My favorites include a simple vanilla cone dipped in peanuts and a strawberry pineapple milkshake. There are a couple of old picnic tables for you to sit at once you get your treats.

Grew up going here and I've been many places, across many states and I still love Tatsee Freeze like I did when I was a kid. Their soft serve ice cream is quality & feels like you're at home. The past few times I've gone, I've tried something new and this time I had a dirt & worms Freeze. A Freeze is basically a "McFlurry" of whatever flavor you want. They have many flavors! The dirt & worms was not bad but the worms basically turned into rocks and froze while I was eating it. It was cool & weird at the same time. My brother got a Brownie Sunday and it was to die for... delicious. I can't see why anyone would rate this below 4 stars. Only thing to keep in mind it's a bit pricey, so be ready. Both ice creams were $15 but worth the quality and good time with my brother. Personal Review: 8.9/10

I've been coming here for years and the quality of the ice cream has always been great! My daughter got a small cone with sprinkles and I got the Reece's pieces freeze. My total was a little over $10..so not too cheap but definitely worth the $. I didn't see a sign saying masks were required but everyone before and after me in line had one on. There was also a lot of picnic tables that you could sit down and eat your ice cream at, but it was so hot we just ate ours in the car with the AC on. We'll def be back!!

I love this place!! My sister introduced me to this years ago and we came back when she was pregnant as she was craving it. I love how you can customize everything almost anything. The workers are very quick when making your order (unless there's a huge line) and are very nice. I always recommended this place to other people even if it's a bit of a drive, it's so worth it.

It's in the neighborhood, so we want to support them, and so so gladly! Good ice cream and generous portions.

It's the best! Perfect on a summer evening. I went to check this site today so I could be sure to have their hours - haven't been yet this summer, and need my fix! The toppings are so creative (like crushed oreos) and the dipped cones are wonderful.

This is one of those places where if you were raised on it, never left town, and don't get out much in your life you think it's "great." The soft serve, not "ice cream" for the simps who don't know that simple difference, is of lower quality than even cookie cutter medium quality places like Dairy Queen. The consistency doesn't even beat frozen yogurt from a Butera grocery store. Theres a fun spectacle of Cicero and nearby townspeople standing outside in a decently long line, which are mostly locals, locals who have left and who come back for nostalgia, and people fooled by their inflated reviews online as I was, but really, the soft serve is not worth the wait or time like most things in this low income city. Low quality, not good, and falling apart like most things in Cicero.

Grew up in Berwyn, IL. Been going here longer than I can remember. Am I biased? OH HELL YEAH! But if you're looking for an old style "ice cream shop on the corner" experience, TF is the place to be. Missed it for a couple years with "The Big C". And it hurt. BAD. But, any time I'm even CLOSE to Berwyn, this place is a "Must Go". The people complaining that this is "Soft Serve" and not "Real Ice Cream" are simply snobs. If you want "real ice cream", there's a million places to go. But TF is about delivering a very specific taste and type of confection. Sure, it may not be to everyone's taste. HOWEVER... Everyone should try it at least once.

great atmosphere & nice folks. fun trip with the pets & uncle bryson before the big show. will return!

messed up my dang order. and I repeated it it TEWICE. this is absolutely unacceptable

Tried for the first time and loved it! Got a chocolate cone dipped in cherry and was so excited!! I never see cherry dipped anywhere. And they give a good amount for there sizes. Even the sundaes lol. Can't wait to go back cause it's my new favorite ice cream place.

I love this place. Always have, always will. The dipped cones, the banana splits, oh the brownie sundaes! Never a bad item

Great neighborhood spot that always has a line out the door in warmer weather. The ice cream sundae was everything I hoped it would be. In addition to an awesome selection of desserts and ice cream flavors, they also have quick hot snack food. There's something for everyone!

Was in the mood for some soft serve ice cream and remembered this spot while I was in the area. It hit the spot! The customer service was friendly and the cone was piled high with soft serve swirly goodness! They have other items too including dipped ice creams. That will be next on my list! I saw milkshakes and slushees too. Overall a good solid experience and I'm sure I'll be back many times.

I've been coming to this ice cream stand since the 60's.. Sometimes summer nights with parents or riding our bikes for a cone . We just had sundaes this evening.. I moved back to the area in Riverside. Seems like some good things don't change ..

This is our favorite spot in the neighborhood. We go for soft serve cones and sundaes and the strawberry slushies are amazing.

Came here with a dog I was dog sitting. Excellent customer service, and they have pup cones of different sizes based on the dog!!! Plus my ice cream cone was delicious and perfect on a warm day. What really was the best for me was the very reasonable prices!

Yum!! As old school as you can get nowadays!!! I've been coming here since I was little! Love! My kids go crazy over the cheese fries and slushies!

Husband and I had somewhat unofficially struck this location from our list of options after several disappointing visits -- watery soft serve, watery syrup, skimpy toppings and mix-ins when we had requested and paid for extra. When my sister was desperate for something to feed my nephews while visiting the farmer's market across the street, I pointed out the Tastee Freez, not knowing this location differs from others that offer hot dogs and pizza puffs. This one doesn't. Well, didn't matter either way. It was a bit before noon and they hadn't opened yet. It was close enough to noon, however, that an employee was inside getting the stand ready for service. When my young nephews, 5 and 6, ran up to the window, having not realized they weren't open yet, the woman inside shouted "f&*$ off," shot a dirty look at my sister and went about her business inside. I expressed my disappointment in a relatively small community Facebook group, not wanting to bash a Berwyn biz to the yelpishpere. The owner, Anthony, saw and made it a point to pass his number along to a mutual contact so I could call him as he was "concerned." Well, it would seem his concern is limited to his employee, not customers. No apology was offered. Instead, he wanted to tell me he reviewed the soundless surveillance footage and "barely saw the children" and expressed doubt that anything of the sort even happened because the "windows were closed" and the employee didn't appear to interact with anyone. I asked why my sister, nephews or I would have any reason to make something like this up. The owner said he wasn't saying I was, "just that the footage didn't show anything happened." At no point did Anthony apologize for the foul language or any possible misunderstanding, if that was even what he was trying to imply the entire interaction was in the first place. I love this town and want to see businesses succeed here, which is why I am reluctant to bash this one. That this owner has been operating with this sort of attitude for 30 years (?) is a marvel to me. I am pretty sure the first lesson in customer service is never to argue with customers. That the product is subpar was enough reason to avoid. This level of service is just the nail in the coffin, for me. Will not just avoid, will never return.

Way way way way better than Dairy Queen, Baskin Robbins, or Polar Bear

This place is just a stand with only 3 or 4 people working in it. Good soft serve for the price. This place is mainly great for the childhood memories, which is why I go back time and time again. But a medium twist (chocolate and vanilla) in a regular cone for a couple of bucks is definitely worth it.

Great on a hot summer's day to enjoy a cold treat to cool off on!! From cones to shakes made with soft serve product, NOT ice cream!

Great little ice cream stand! I've been coming here for years and it so much better than any more well-known ice cream parlors. There is some parking space in the back and tables outside to enjoy your ice cream. The options are wide, incredible and tasty. Check it out if you have never gone!

Great soft and creamy soft ice cream. The Boston Shake with hot fudge topping was the best that I've had.

Great ice cream and good prices. I go back every summer. Nice friendly service near home.

I used to go here when I lived in the Berwyn/Cicero area years back. I honestly forgot about it's existence until just recently so I stopped by with my younger brothers a couple days ago on an adventure down memory lane. It's still as good as I remember it. There should be more cute, small ice cream shops like Tastee Freez. I just knocked down a star because they don't accept credit/debit cards.

I loved Tastee Freeze as a kid growing up in Chicago. This is the last one around close to where I live. Brings back great memories. So Yummy

I only gave this five stars because you can't give more. What else can I say but AMAZING!!! Best soft serve in Chicagoland plus they offer twist.

Tastee freeze is the best ice cream shop in Berwyn IL , since my wife has been pregnant she's been craving ice cream and it never let us down from their soft served ice cream dipped in pretty much any flavor you want to Sunday's to Milk shakes , top notch spot . I highly recommend this establishment .
