Bombobar - Chicago

It's hard to like this place because if I stop by, I can never get anything on the menu. They always tell me they don't have it or it's sold out. Believe me, I love BomboBar, but it's hard to come here. I get embarrassment of the second hand when I bring friends out here because they never have anything at their disposal. I have tried to get a hot chocolate or even try that peanut butter shake, but always have to taste on a single dish ice cream that is usually not my favorite. But they usually have donuts that are a plus. Hopefully they can fix this problem. I always come hours before they close

Don't waste your time or money! This place is kind of confusing. Where are you going? Where do you order? Where are you waiting for your order? How do you know your order is ready? After about 10 minutes waiting and said they were from 4 of 12 flavors, we ordered 3 single pots and a waffle cone. Then we waited 15 minutes for our 3 pots! We had to ask for napkins, sit at a dirty table that was just before drinking, listen to music and try to enjoy our enjoyment. I'm really surprised that this place survives with so many other dessert spots in the area. Not worth the $17 or 34 minutes of your life! Find another place (Dairy Queen is better). *2 stars for delicious gelato

Donuts or bombalinis come warm. I got three for $5. The spread does not come in the bottles as shown. They come in small containers. You can choose up to 3 flavors. I have strawberry, vanilla and hazelnut. Strawberry tastes like jam, but not as thick. Vanilla was okay. Hazelnut was probably the better of the 3. You could not try the gelato because they had taken it away half an hour before closing. I would suggest going an hour before closing or earlier if you want to try the Gelato.

Nice little place for dessert. The sweet teeth of a friend led us here. Fast service. We have the Gelatos, Berry Mango Sorbet was a bit sour, cookies and cream along with hazelnut Stracciatella was good.

For all the rave that Bombobar gets, I have been disappointed time and time again. After multiple attempts to try to get a shake here, only to be told they are out of all ice cream, I was able to get one....kind of. I tried to order the chocolate shake only to find out after 10 minutes of waiting that they didn't have the ingredients. They didn't offer any recommendations as to what they could make and I had to go through the menu with them asking about each item to arrive at them only being able to make the Rainbow Gelato Shake. Why not start with that if you're out of everything else? All in all, the shake was actually disappointing for all the hype. It is basically an overpriced sprinkle shake with a very dry donut. Although Jeni's is a chain, I'd recommend going there over Bombobar any day.
