Pretty jazzed about this one! Thank you, WBEZ.

The Sugar Hole is a walk-up, soft-serve ice cream window in Chicago’s Irving Park neighborhood, not exceptionally unique but for one significant factor: the staff are puppets.

It is with wide eyes and sticky lips that Color Club announces the opening of The Sugar Hole, the world’s only puppet-powered ice cream walk-up window! Nestled in the leafy green understory of Chicago’s sweetest neighborhood, Irving Park, The Sugar Hole opens its little round hobbit door to ice cream havers of all ages starting Saturday, May 25th. Between the hours of 3 and 8 PM on summertime Saturdays and Sundays, the industrious puppet employees of The Sugar Hole will greet visitors and take their orders. Their fuzzy felt hearts beat for soft serve ice cream and they can’t wait to delight Chicago’s sweet teeth with their tasty recipe for good times.

Mark your dessert calendars and come on out. Open hours are Saturdays and Sundays, 3 PM to 8 PM all summer long! The Sugar Hole can be found on the Hamlin-facing side of Color Club, at 4146 N. Elston Avenue. Tell The Sugar Hole your order, find a spot in our outdoor café, and yum it up!
