Have You Ever Been To Illinois' Best Ice Cream Shop?

The next time you go to grab some ice cream from the freezer at home, you could probably have the best in the state instead.

That is, as long as you're up for a drive if you're reading this in the Rockford area.

The Ultimate Illinois Dessert Destination: Is the Best Ice Cream Worth the Drive?

Then again, based on the conversations I have had with people over the years, there is no distance too far that folks won't go for some good eats. You have to think the state's best ice cream has to fall under that banner as well.

Tasting Table decided to tell us which ice cream shops are the best in all 50 states and called Cap's Ice Cream the best in Illinois.

If you said, "Cap's? What's that?" you're not alone. That's because I have never heard of them until today, but I think this might be a road trip-worthy dessert destination.

Tasting Table:

A quarter of a century ago, Cap's Ice Cream opened for business on the outskirts of Chicago. The business was built from scratch and has won over the hearts of the local community...Here, you'll find flavors like cardamom orange graham cracker and black raspberry chip. Even the vanilla is called complex, so don't underestimate anything that can come in a cone or cup.

Located at 10 South Pine Street in Mount Prospect, Cap's Ice Cream is just about an hour from Rockford. Would you make the trek just for dessert or does it need to be something else?
