In 1951, Joe Oberweis , son of founder Peter Oberweis, built and opened a new dairy located on North Lake Street in Aurora, Illinois. This new dairy allowed Joe to perfect a formula using the cream from his premium milk, to produce the best ice cream available -- the formula we still use to this very day!
The new facility also permitted another Oberweis Dairy first -- a retail store selling Oberweis products and an ice cream fountain with creations guaranteed to tempt the tastebuds.
The proud Oberweis Dairy tradition continues in all of our retail ice cream and dairy store locations throughout Chicagoland and St. Louis as well as locations in Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan. We still feature the fountain treats Joe Oberweis created nearly a half century ago
I am orginally from the same area that Oberweis started (north Aurora IL - Geneva IL). They have the best ice cream, shakes, sundaes and milk. Please open one on the south side. Love it Love it Love it
I am a huge Chocolate ice cream person and have had them all and no one even come close to Oberweis. there milk is to die for also the chocolate is amazing and not that nasty thickness you get with most .
If you haven't voted this #1, then you haven't tried it yet. This is by far the BEST ice cream I have ever had. The lemon sorbet is heaven. We drive 20 miles just for this treat.
I have had icecream several times when I have been in Indy. I am from Kokomo but every time we go to Indy we stop and get ice cream in Carmel. I love the different flavors they have.
Service is friendly, efficient and accurate. It's great to see families come in and to listen to the children decide what they want and then make their order. The Oberweis staff are very patient and kind. This is a happy place to be.
