Great service and great ice cream. Depending on the week they've got a great variety of flavors to choose from! They also have several other menu options like shakes and malts.

This ice cream is served by the scoop and so delightful. Lots of fun and slightly unique flavors. So far I have enjoyed the grasshopper pie and the smoreos and peanut butter chocolate. Look forward to trying more!They also have a variety of smoothies as well. The owner was very friendly and helpful. He recommended that my mom get carmel on her apple pie ice cream and she said it really made it. My husband got a flight and enjoyed trying different kinds as well.

Fantastic ice cream - best in town - but you never know when they're going to be open, certainly not what Google says! Very frustrating to go there with your tastebuds all set for something great when they're supposed to be open and they're not. I'd recommend calling ahead to make sure before driving there. Same only worse with with the Water St, Peoria, IL shop.

The ice cream was amazing and in such a nice area. We will be back.

Ice cream was really good! The guy working there was very helpful and informative. Kind of a little restaurant, but the outside has a lot of seating.

Had a hot brownie sundae with hot fudge and PB Oreo ice cream! It was amazing! Lots of ice cream flavors to choose from! Delicious!!

Great supporting staff, chill atmosphere, quality ice cream, kid friendly. Nothing negative at all about your products, enjoyed it very much. Seating inside was fine but when going out, we enjoy taking our son to special spots to sit outside and get a breath of fresh air. This is a great spot, aside from seating in the front because it got so hot quickly with no umbrellas and metal chairs. It was a normal summer day, but was just sort of a downer on the seating. On the side alleyway of the store there was seating but it looked kind of dull, not super inviting. Loved that you had water for purchase because it got us through it. Staff was wonderful.

This was always my favorite place to get ice cream when it was in Bloomington. Since it closed, the closest location to me is here and I have no issue making the drive for Emack and Bolio's. I always get vanilla bean speck, it's so good I've never wanted to try anything else. I've been to both locations in Peoria and the staff is so kind. Seriously this is the best ice cream you'll ever eat.

Love their ice creams. I love all their flavors,especially the chocolate ice-cream. its very decadent and rich. The texture is very very smooth! I tried white chocolate Raspberry which was delicious. Love their cute little patio and would say its a good hanging spot for friends.I have been going to this place from very long time and would always love to go to this place again and again!

Staff is always so encouraging with trying new flavors and being so accommodating whether that be with food preferences (vegan options) or with young children. Our kids love Space Cake (highly recommend). Great smoothies also. It's so fun to sit inside or outside to enjoy our visit.

Emacks is part of our "visiting the grandkids" routine and we always leave with huge smiles on our faces. The staff is fantastic, the place is warm and friendly, and, of course, the ice cream is delicious. We love this place.

Love this place for ice cream. The atmosphere. The ice cream. The options.

I kept it simple. Chocolate malt. Smooth, chocolatie, malty……great flavor. Not too thick and definitely not too thin.(The person that had the “2 shake” terrible experience, I don’t understand unless the person making had an off day. Speak up if not satisfied. I bet the owners would make it right.)Definitely going back before we leave town.
