While we wait for our seasonal flavor soft serve machine at Wicker Park to be fixed, we made some cake batter cups to quench your thirst for that cake batter soft serve! 🌈🧁
They are made of our hard scoop/pint recipe which is creamier and will last better in your freezer if it makes it there 🫶
Oat free, almond based.
Only at Wicker Park. At Lincoln Square you can get cake batter soft serve mixed or topped with sprinkles!

This weekend we’ll be at with our festival exclusive ice cream bars and scoops 🍨 For all you West-towners who are craving other offerings since our Wicker shop still just has vanilla soft serve (we’re trying our very best to get the machine fixed!) 🫶
Yes that’s sweet corn with olive oil and sea salt 💛

You can get your Fauxtillos fix today at our Palermo’s Unreal Foods pop up from 3pm-sold out in Lincoln Square! Palermo’s is bringing the Italian beef and hot dogs and we have the chocolate cake shakes 🌭🍦

Update on the Wicker machine, we are waiting on a crucial part to ship from Italy 🤌 but it is set to arrive next week! We will update when it’s all ready to go, but for this weekend we just have vanilla out of our one working machine so please be patient with our wonderful staff 🥰 you can still get all flavors of milkshake and sundaes under the sun 🌞

We need your help to turn our luck around, please send good thoughts and vibes 🙏 The Wicker Park vanilla/chocolate machine is struggling!
We are calling in every favor to get this fixed as soon as possible, but this little burnt wire requires the entire motherboard to be replaced and that is no easy task.
Until then we only have the best vanilla soft serve you ever tasted at our Wicker Park location (the remaining working machine is the best); but Lincoln Square still has all flavors available!
Thanks for your patience at Wicker Park because our entire business relies on one machine until we can get everything fixed 🍦

Cosmic Cake Sundaes and Chocolate Cake Shakes are back for May! 🥳
These treats are made with our famous chocolate cake bites (which happen to be gf) and were available on our day one menu in 2021, so we decided to bring them back for our 5 year bday month!
🎂
The chocolate cake is perfect but delicate, so we replaced them with our brownie bites in 2023 when we opened our Lincoln Square shop.

Also reminder that the first 50 customers at both shops will get a free slice of birthday cake tomorrow (Saturday)!
