Margie's Candies

I absolutely love this ice cream parlor!! It's been around since the 1920's and still holds most of it's original furniture/decor. The ice cream is divine, and so is the service. However, it gets REALLY crowded in the tiny parlor, especially on weekends. BUT they're open till 12am, sometimes 1am. You have to try their Turtle Banana Split with coconut ice cream!

This is the best place for those who have a sweet tooth. They have every kind of ice cream dessert imaginable. It is very homey and you can buy different trinkets to take home with you. It is definately a Chicago favorite.

They have the best ice cream I have ever had! I love their different dessert creations and all the history that surrounds the store. It is a cozy place and it can satisfy anyone's sweet tooth.

PROS:
CONS: Parking can be tough.

Margie's is a rare old-fashioned ice cream parlor. It's a small crowded space, so on nice evenings be prepared to wait if you want a seat (you can just order to go, but the place is part of the charm). Many sundae options, the toppings are homemade and delicious. Generous portions.

PROS: Atmosphere
CONS: Crowds

this place is great for the sweet tooths. its homemade ice cream served in a clam shell bowls makes this place unforgettable. it's great for dates-portions are huge. it's side includes their homemade hot fudge and wafer cookies. go there for your birthday, and you'll get a gift from margie's. to those smarties: bring in your report card with an "a" on it and you'll get a free cone on them!

PROS: closes late-Sun-Thu 9am-12am Fri-Sat 9am-1am
CONS: always a wait especially at night, not good for large groups
