Found in North Manchester, Indiana, Chillz offers a unique fusion of classic American treats, making it a must-visit destination. This hidden gem seamlessly combines the indulgence of premium ice cream with the comfort of freshly made mini donuts.

FROM DREAM TO REALITY

Chillz Delights began as a vision of founder Janzin Cripe, a young entrepreneur from a small farming town. Raised in a family of business owners, Janzin was instilled with the values of hard work and determination. While studying economics and entrepreneurship at Purdue University, he was eager to embark on his own business venture. In the spring of 2018, Janzin transformed a simple shed into an ice cream shop, marking the humble beginnings of Chillz Delights. Initially offering hand-dipped ice cream, the establishment quickly became known for its vibrant atmosphere and innovative menu. Over the years, Chillz expanded its offerings to include milkshakes, the signature "Donut Delight," and a variety of "Toasty" sandwiches. By the spring of 2022, Chillz relocated to its current venue.

CHILL VIBES

This place is impossible to miss with its signature Mint Green exterior. Guests are welcomed by a cozy atmosphere and the sounds of the 50s filling the air. The interior features comfortable seating, making it an ideal spot to unwind with friends or family.

The menu at Chillz Delights is a testament to creativity and quality. Its premium ice cream comes in a variety of flavors, catering to those who love traditional and adventurous flavors. Signature items like the "What the Fudge" Donut Delight showcase the harmonious blend of 

warm, freshly prepared mini donuts paired with rich, creamy ice cream—a combination that has garnered rave reviews from patrons. ​

Beyond desserts, Chillz Delights offers an array of savory options. Their "toasty" sandwiches, including variations like the Sloppy Joe and grilled cheese, are complemented by choices of dips, making for a satisfying meal. Side dishes such as crispy tater tots and creamy mac and cheese further enhance the dining experience, providing comfort food that delights the senses.
