Icream appears in inspection records three times, starting in 2012. The most recent report on file is from Aug 20, 2014. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Note that Icream's inspection history hasn't been updated since Aug 20, 2014; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around 10 violations to closer to four violations per visit.
Across the inspection history, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded three times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, this is about average. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
