Try the gianduja gelato from our 100 Best list: Every flavor, every time, Jessie Oloroso kills it. But when her shop is out of this knee-bucklingly rich chocolate-hazelnut flavor, it nearly kills us.
Goat cheese cashew caramel is unbelievable! Totally different than any gelato I've had before. Must try!
A sunny Saturday day was a perfect time to walk by and have a cup of gelato . Creamy and smooth. Interior adorable! And, service welcoming and quick. Will be back!
Goat cheese cashew caramel gelato and blackberry passion fruit are amazing. The textures and flavors at BDG are really one of a kind.
Layers of roasted peanuts , sweet coconut , saffron , honey , curry powder , ginger , vanilla and caramelized cashews are reminiscent of an exotic twist on the classically American seven layer bar . Read more
Great gelato . Get their early if you want to have a wide choice of flavors.
Black Dog gelato in the city with unique flavors. I had the nutella pretzel and vanilla salted caramel , delicious!!. Highly recommend.
Cute place hidden in a residential area. Parking may or may not work out for you. I suggest walking here if you can. Pistachio ❤️
excellent selection of flavors that is always changing. see what suits your fancy and don't be shy about asking for samples!
Goat cheese cashew carmel with mint Oreo . Order it and thank me later. I don't recommend showing up in the last 5-10 minutes- their popular flavors are usually sold out by then.
All the flavors are great, but my go-to is a large cup with half malt vanilla and half cinnamon brown sugar .
Grab frozen sweetness from this gelato spot w/ a rotating 20-strong selection of flavors and and floats using house made sodas from ginger peach to fizzy Tang, which'll go straight to your asstronaut. Read more
OMG the Goat Cheese Cashew Carmel flavored gelato has to be the best thing in THE WORLD!!! Literally.
The goat cheese cashew Carmel gelato may have just changed my life!!
The gelato was definitely fantastic. Be sure to bring cash since they don't take cards!!
Yum, first time here and it was dynamite. Glazed and Infused doughnuts with the city 's best gelato ?! Yes, please! ???? ???? ????
Best gelato I've had to date in Chicago!!Goat cheese , olive oil , and rose petal= da bomb!
My fav is caramel gelato . Service is super nice.
Get the goat cheese cashew caramel gelato !
Most have been super tasty, but be sure to try the salty flavors first - the bacon one was a bit much!
Just commit and go for the three flavor size. You're worth it.
They try to invent new flavors, but unfortunately they don’t always taste natural, nor close to the description. And everything is way too sweet for a good gelato , despite a good creamy texture. So no
Malted vanilla is a must try, and they are open until midnight during the summer!!
Maple bacon cayenne pepper and goat cheese almond . Small gets u two flavors and is more than enough for 1 person
There are no bad flavors of ice cream here- it's easily the best in the city !
Unfff, this place. Get any flavor. Then go sit on a bench outside and pass out from how happy you are.
Do the Mexican Chocolate with Salted Peanut . It's like a Reese's cup on a whole other level- amazing!
Combos of salty and sweet, such as goat-cheese-caramel-cashew and salted peanut satay are at this West Town ice cream shop .
Try the strangest flavor you can. You'll thoroughly enjoy it, such as goat cheese gelato .
Go for the Goat Cheese Cashew Caramel , Blueberry Mint , Mexican Hot Chocolate , Malted Vanilla , White Chocolate Banana Curry , or Salted Peanut . . . . wowowowowow
Anything with the Mexican Chocolate gelato - it is crazy-good! Salted peanut is very good but (duh) salty. Goat cheese caramel ? Why yes, thank you!
Really great gelato at reasonable prices
This place is the best! Turkish coffee and blood orange sorbet are amazing!
Goat Cheese Caramel Cashew & Nutella w/ pretzel FTW!!!
Not sure why it has such a high rating. Black rasbeery passion fruit was more seeds than gelato . Choc raspberry didn't taste much like choc . Mint Oreo was waaaay too minty . Overall just terrible
Must try cucumber rose water gelato
Tasty, but don't forget they're CASH ONLY .

The raspberry sundae is my favorite! Add hot fudge to make it even better. You can choose the type of ice cream you want for your sundae - Genie
Their ice cream pops that are pie-inspired graham cracker combined are incredible!!! Also awesome vegan pops - Julianne Olivieri
The grill near the main entrance will cook any meat you purchase in the store. The cheddar pub burger and salmon steaks were delicious, and the gelato station next to it is a great addition! - Alison
Taco pizza and mozzarella sticks. Add a Chicago Way if you like a little Malört. So good. - Art Lawry
