These gourmet cinnamon rolls take this classic treat to the next level with some incredible toppings. Try out the Cookie Monster topped with chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate chips and chocolate sauce, or order the Very Berry with fresh berries, raspberry jam and powdered sugar on top. Did we mention that these cinnamon rolls are 100% vegan, egg-free, dairy- and lactose-free, and cholesterol-free? 

Crumbl Cookies

  • Address: 106 E. Golf Road, Schaumburg

What we love about Crumbl Cookies is that the menu changes every week. That means, every time you visit, you’ll be surprised with six different deliciously unique gourmet cookies. And if you want to feed a crowd, we suggest ordering the catering, which includes an option for mini cookies. 

Kurimu

  • Address: 601 N. Martingale Road, Schaumburg

Kurimu isn’t your typical soft serve spot. The ice cream flavors alone include more than 22 options like Very Avocado, Mango Tango, Chocolate Supreme and more. What families will love is the cutest collab they have with Peanuts through Oct. 31! You’ll find the store decorated with Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang.

Capannari Ice Cream
