Roiel Scoop Rochelle's Finest Ice Cream - Rochelle, Illinois

Stopped in for ice cream and was blown away with the quality and value! We were greeted warmly and treated like guests in someone's home the whole time. We wanted to try a variety of flavors so got the "flight" of 4 small scoops for $8. Each one was amazing by itself but all four together was perfect. We stop at lots of ice cream shops all over the country and honestly this is in the top tier. Don't pass it by - stop in and treat yourself! We recommend the mint chocolate chip, dark chocolate oreo, blackberry lemon cheesecake, and coconut almond bliss. (The last two rocked our taste buds the most!)

The shop is really cute and the staff is friendly. We ordered the banana split because we both missed banana splits. They aren't the traditional banana splits I remember lol. We got to pick 3 scoops of ice cream which was awesome. But the banana splits only had bananas and cool whip and cherries. So not the traditional that I grew up on. The guy was nice and friendly will try something else in the spring maybe.

Support small and local businesses in ROCHELLE. this is a wonderful business to have in town. The staff is friendly and the ice cream is quality. They revamped an existing second-hand store with ice cream, so there is plenty to look at and maybe even buy a gift for yourself or someone else while you're there.

First of all, when somebody else left a critical but reasonable review a while ago, the owner provided an extremely childish and unprofessional response. In case it's deleted, the gist of the review was that the ice cream is good, but the hours are bad, and this was the owner's response:

Second update Zachy boy, .... apears like you are
NOT HAPPY anywhere you go... Maybe you just stay home ... you know...
Update reply: Another misinformed blogger with nothing better to do!

As for my own review, my wife and I went here for ice cream earlier this year when it was quite new, and we had kind of a weird experience. The boy scooping ice cream just kind of stared at us until we initiated the order and never really said a word, and the lady at the cash register was not particularly polite either.

The ice cream itself was very good, though. It was kind of expensive, but it seems that pretty much all ice cream is.

They've made the place look pretty nice, but it's a bit of an unsual setup inside what I believe is otherwise a cabinetry business, and it's sort of tucked away on a side street.

I was intending to give the benefit of the doubt after our first visit and try it again sometime, but I'm much less inclined after seeing the owner's behavior in the reviews.

Family owned, beautiful owners, and family oriented? Can be do better? I don’t think so. I’m from chicago, And this ice cream is the best I’ve ever had. My family and I enjoyed it so much. We’re coming back again tomorrow. We love the mother-daughter combo. They’re the best. Will be back tomorrow 10 out of 10 love Rochelle more than ever.

8/31 Update: Closed early again today. This is how another local business closed permanently. Hope this isn’t the writing on the wall. Last time I was there, the employee was hammering away the pinball machine and could barely order over the noise. Think it’s the entertainment zone for the family’s teenage boys.

Ice cream is good however the hours are not the best especially going into summer. Hope it survives in Rochelle. Maybe consider better operating hours for the summer?

This has been THE place to have fun and cool off this summer! My kid and I love the service. We always feel welcome by anyone behind the counter & they know my kids order by heart already. I enjoy sitting and playing the games they provide as well. Super cute decor too.
