Tucked away a bit off the beaten path, Sullivan, IL is more than just a charming town. We love it here, and we also love going to get some ice cream on a hot summer’s day. Or a spring day, or a fall day, or any day! We have a great spot here in town, and to reach the other, you’ll want to pack the kids in the Chevy Tahoe and take them for a little drive. Thankfully, the Tahoe is so roomy that a 30-minute drive will seem a lot shorter, even with kids in tow!

Just Down the Road: Two Favorite Ice Cream Places Near Sullivan, IL

Dairy Delites

In the heart of Sullivan, on 815 W Jackson St, you’ll find Dairy Delites. This family-owned gem is full of neighborhood charm. The ambiance really takes you back to the old-fashioned neighborhood sweet shop. Parking is a breeze, too, and there’s lots of nice seating available. The prices are very reasonable and affordable for the family.

Dairy Delites prides itself on offering a staggering assortment of over 40 flavors of soft serve, ensuring that there’s a treat for every palate. The flavor bursts and twisters will keep you coming back, and there’s also cones, cups, shakes, malts, or floats: however you prefer your chilly indulgence, Dairy Delites caters to it. Yes, there are smoothies for the health-conscious.

Seasonal flavors are also available. In the fall, try their pumpkin and green apple offerings. The touch of caramel added to the green apple swirl is to die for.

Hours

Operating from 1pm to 8pm throughout the week, this little haven is ready to serve you no matter what day you show up.

Krave Frozen Yogurt

A slightly longer drive of about 30 minutes will lead you to a delightful oasis called Krave Frozen Yogurt, in Mt Zion at 1455 East Village Parkway.
