About this business

It is summer in Chicago, but you do not want to go into a drug store to buy any old ice cream, you want the real thing. If this is the case, make a trip to Bucktown and visit Margie's. Since 1921, Margie's has been making its own candy and ice cream, and it still uses only the best ingredients to produce the best product in Chicago. Family owned for generations, this spot has withstood the brutal ups-and-downs of this neighborhood for over 70 years. Well worth a visit, even for the most discriminating sweet tooth.

Margie's Candies I'm an ice cream fanatic, and I love this place. Though they could use more flavor choices, one can't go wrong with a yummy hot fudge sundae from Margies. Their hot fudge is warm and gooey. Fun place to hang out.

Love This Place This is the best place for those who have a sweet tooth. They have every kind of ice cream dessert imaginable. It is very homey and you can buy different trinkets to take home with you. It is definately a Chicago favorite.

My Idea of Dessert Heaven! There's nothing I can say about the joint that hasn't been already said by somebody else, I think. It's definitely a vintage gem. Looks like an old-school ice cream parlor. Is very tasty. Affordable. Convenient. And I'd eat there *EVERYDAY* if I couldn't get fat or become a diabetic. Honest-to-God, people! Their Bananas Foster alone makes me melt with sugary happiness. You gotta try it! lol

Great desserts, Small place I absolutely love this ice cream parlor!! It's been around since the 1920's and still holds most of it's original furniture/decor. The ice cream is divine, and so is the service. However, it gets REALLY crowded in the tiny parlor, especially on weekends. BUT they're open till 12am, sometimes 1am. You have to try their Turtle Banana Split with coconut ice cream!

Perfect for Ice Cream Lovers Margie's is a rare old-fashioned ice cream parlor. It's a small crowded space, so on nice evenings be prepared to wait if you want a seat (you can just order to go, but the place is part of the charm). Many sundae options, the toppings are homemade and delicious. Generous portions. PROS: Atmosphere CONS: Crowds

Margies Margies sells both sandwiches and salads, but anyone who comes here has to get their fantastic sundaes. You can get your sundae in a huge conch shell covered with their own hot fudge, caramel or butterscotch.
