Touhy Fruity
3333 W Touhy Ave, Lincolnwood, IL
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside a nail salon in a struggling suburban mall, Touhy Fruity punches above its unlikely location with genuinely impressive matcha drinks and fresh vegetarian spring rolls that keep customers coming back. The small team works methodically to craft their specialty beverages and desserts with care—their key lime pie and rolled ice cream are worth the wait, though be prepared for slower service and double-check your final bill, as pricing discrepancies have frustrated some visitors.”

❗❗Beware, this place is a scam! They upcharge you without telling you. Menu prices are not what they give you. They charged me a large shake when I was never even asked what size I’d like. Please do not support businesses like this. It’s no wonder they have so many bad reviews
the vegetarian avocado spring rolls and matcha bubble tea is amazing, can't wait to try their other items.
I’m not sure what I expected in a suburban mall that is facing its inevitable slow death. Even with such depressing backdrop, I was hoping for a good snack from an independently owned place. Unfortunately, for $7 a pop, these rolled ice cream had no flavor whatsoever. Making the experience worse was 25-minute wait to make two items. Not because they were short on workers or supplies. But because 4 workers present couldn’t bring themselves beyond working one person at a time. Plus, with earbuds in place, there was no conversation (or complaints) for them to be heard. Instead, they were all busy staring at their phones right in front of customers. It is sad to see these places mainly because nobody really cares. We are simply waiting for a place like this to be demolished when the mall is bulldozed for a trendy mixed used development.
Its such a good dessert. To watch it being made was really cool. The ladies were really nice and the key lime pie was so good minus the green sauce that's added before the ice cream is rolled. There is a bit of a wait so if you're in a hurry this is not an option for you.
Small place yes you do have to walk into the nail salon. I had no issue with the food, milk tea, or smoothies. It’s a good price for an abundant menu. Be ready for a wait as it takes them time. I had no ill experience with the nail salon smell.
