Delicious tropical flavor ice cream. Banana split was also delicious. They are open for the winter season for the first time in years. The staff was really nice also.

after all these years, this spot is still the best! there are so many attractive options, so many different combinations, that you could come everyday for an entire semester and not get bored. The staff is super cool and it still has that 1950s vibe. quality was superb, but it is getting quite expensive..

A very lovely custard ice cream place in town. It’s very good!!! They have the flavor of the week you can try. The patio area is very nice in the summer. Cool place

This is a Champaign Urbana staple it is close to the sporting venues it has great custard and about average price for the items that you get. They have wonderful mix-ins to their snowstorm/blizzards. I have been coming to this for most of my life and I cannot say that I’ve ever had a bad experience here. There is plenty of parking there’s a drive through there is outdoor seating it’s just a nice place to go on a hot day and get yourself a treat.

Service and quality have gone downhill. Went Thursday evening, not busy at all. Lack of candy in snowstorm and it was not mixed- there were globs of peanut butter and cold fudge. I mixed it at home. I saw employees roll their eyes when the guy behind me complained that he “didn’t order cookie dough”. I don’t want to see you roll your eyes at a customer because you made a mistake. Disappointing. I always loved this place, but if this happens again, not sure I’ll come back.

Jarling’s Custard Cup is a classic, nostalgic custard stand you simply can’t miss. The custard is spot-on—rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. It’s popular, so expect a line, but it moves quickly.
They have a small range of flavors, which means each one is consistently great. The one-scoop waffle cones are huge, and the must-try item is the Black and White—their special cold fudge with marshmallow. It’s amazing. 5 stars!

Jarling’s is a nostalgic classic from my undergrad days, still serving up refreshing and satisfying custard cups, with favorites including key lime cheesecake and chocolate chip. Always a treat to see this longtime favorite going strong.

Yummy! You don’t see places like this around very often anymore. Awesome custard in a large variety of flavors and serving styles. They make delicious old fashioned sodas – basically a combination milkshake and float (much more ice cream than a modern float and the liquid part is carbonated and easier to drink than a shake) in the largest array of flavors I’ve ever seen.
On a recent trip I stopped at three other places that advertised themselves as classic soda counters with old fashioned sodas – one of them has no idea what it was on their menu and added a scoop of ice cream to a cup with a tiny bit of chocolate syrup on the bottom with plain/unflavored soda water (thus making a very tasteless float), the other two places recommended buying a bottle of soda pop because it was much cheaper that way than it was to pay ‘old fashioned’ soda prices from their modern coca-cola dispenser (obviously, some corporate knowledge was lost).
Jarling’s makes thick/rich old fashioned sodas ranging from 12 to 32 ounces! And they are just as good as I remember when I first had them 30 years ago. An old fashioned sodas is soda water thoroughly mixed with flavoring syrup and probably milk (which tastes like the yummy melted ice cream part at the bottom of a float but with fresh/bubbly soda pop), then the flavored soda is poured over a cup full of ice cream making something truly delicious that you consume ~50% with a straw and 50% with a spoon. Imagine something that’s the best parts of a milkshake combined with a float. I always get the old fashioned chocolate soda made with vanilla custard – my dad claims it’s just like the ones he had as a kid in the 1940’s. My wife likes the green river soda (lime flavored) over lemon custard. They have a lot of other flavors and things to order on the menu but I’m always happy with a 32 ounce chocolate soda.
Keep local places like this in business because they are both unique and delicious!

Darling’s Ice Cream is a classic! You can tell it’s been around for a long time — they’ve truly perfected their frozen custard. It’s incredibly smooth, soft, and full of flavor, making it a delicious treat for any occasion. Whether you’re stopping by on a hot day or just craving something sweet, this place never disappoints. A timeless favorite worth visiting again and again!
