In 2012, Govind and Anita Shrestha took a leap of faith by taking over a small retail ice cream store in Skokie, Illinois, along with their sons Aaron and Avinn transition from Nepal to the United States.
What started as a family endeavor quickly grew into a cherished community staple, where customers became an extended family. Now, with over tweleve years of experience, the Shresthas have turned their little ice cream shop into a home for the Skokie community and beyond. Their mission is simple: to make people smile through delicious ice cream, frozen chocolate bananas, and desserts, combining traditional Nepali recipes with American delights.
Located at 4041 W. Dempster St., Monkey Tail Frozen Delights is a beloved local creamery that has captured the hearts of Skokie residents. Recently named the top frozen dessert in town, the shop was the clear favorite in Skokie Patch’s National Ice Cream Day survey, earning nearly 38 percent of the votes. Readers rave about the friendly staff, interesting flavor selection, and rich taste that keep them coming back for more. The most popular flavor, Zanzibar Chocolate, is a testament to the shop’s commitment to quality, with one fan proclaiming it “THE BEST frozen desserts you will eat in your life.”
Inspired by their love for creating unique and satisfying treats, the Shresthas have expanded their offerings to include delicious frozen chocolate bananas. Each banana is carefully selected, hand-dipped in premium chocolate, and paired with a variety of toppings to provide a delightful combination of flavors and textures. This new venture combines the best of both worlds, blending the creamy decadence of chocolate with the natural sweetness of bananas. The frozen chocolate bananas have quickly become a customer favorite, offering a healthy, indulgent option for dessert lovers of all ages.
We are passionate about crafting delicious treats that bring joy to people across the country. They strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels like part of their extended family. Whether you’re enjoying a scoop of their trademarked Zanzibar Chocolate or indulging in a frozen chocolate banana, the Shresthas invite you to experience the love and care they pour into every creation. Join us at Monkey Tail Frozen Delights and discover the magic of our handcrafted desserts today!
