I really enjoyed this place and want to go back as I didn't add cheese to my ice cream. I'm intrigued with the idea. What I didn't know is that this place is Ecuadorean. I went with their fruit options with Mamey being the winner for me. I really liked this flavor a lot. I did try the girls' chocolate and bubble gum and both were very good. My wife had the affogato and also super good.

really fun flavors, honestly too many that it's difficult to choose and you end up having to get a huge ice cream. small = 1 scoop, medium 2, etc. tried a bunch before deciding - all were delicious, but ended up with passionfruit and mamey (other favorites were soursop and cheesecake). topped it with whipped cream and cheese but that was a bit over the top (still delicious).Would definitely return if nearby and needing ice cream. The ice cream was silky and smooth, great texture.

My friend and I discovered Nubes during our walk to Target, and it was definitely worth the stop. The staff was very friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in, allowing us to sample different flavors and educating us about each of their rich Ecuadorian flavors. After much thought, we decided to share a three-scoop ice cream topped with cheese and a cherry, named "The Ship Of Memories," which allowed us to try the guava, mango, and passion fruit. I highly recommend any of these flavors, but the creamy passion fruit mixed with the cheese was a match made in heaven for me. Although I was skeptical at first, I ended up enjoying the addition of the cheese, and am now convinced everyone should visit Nubes Ice Cream at least once! Whether you choose cheese or no cheese, I promise you'll leave Nubes with a smile!

cute spot and the ice cream is so delicious. We tried a couple of flavors and they both were really good. We even tried the cheese on top and that was great as well.The family does a great job running the place and you just feel good after dealing with them for a quick transaction.

I was in the area and saw this new ice cream spot with Ecuadorian flavors including fruits from Ecuador and was very intrigued. I am pleased to report that it lived up to my curiosity - they have so many fun and delicious flavors, including a white corn. They do samples although I am sorry because I came in the last hour and asked for way too many (I was too excited about the flavors and completely lost a hold of myself). I ended up getting the mamey with the cheese on top and that was delicious. The mamey was really good. My friend got a vanilla milkshake and also really enjoyed it. I would definitely be back (not when they are about to close). Thanks to the nice staff for being patient with me and what a great, cute addition to the neighborhood.

I've been meaning to stop by here since they've opened and finally got the chance to with my partner on a warm Saturday afternoon. The store is run by an Ecuadorian-owned family who are extremely sweet and helpful. They took care of us and really wanted us to try to ice cream with cheese on top which seems to be an Ecuadorian speciality. We declined as we are lactose-intolerant and didn't have our lactaid pills with us. I ordered the Maracuya ice cream even though it has dairy, but was willing to sacrifice given that it's not easy finding these type of ice cream flavors in Uptown, let alone in Chicago or North America in general. They had Lulo, Naranjilla, Guanabana, etc which really brings me back to Colombia at heart. All together, this place puts out some really tasty ice cream. There's also coffee and other beverages available... and if you're wanting to sit here, there is also several places to sit! Would absolutely return. This is a welcomed business in the neighborhood!

Cute spot! Flavors are very different and not too sweet. They let you try samples. There's about 2 tables if you want to sit down. My kids had the cookies and cream and even when I tried it, it's better than the American versions. I tried the passion fruit which was a little more on the sweeter side and the morocho, it was delicious! Wish they had this in the suburbs.
