About Us

Great Ice Cream. Great Coffee. And a Great Story.

Bob and Bobbie Novak LOVE ice cream! So, Bob learned how to make it and he and Bobbie opened Riverbottom Ice Cream & Coffee Co. in 2016. The idea was to bring a quality, old fashioned, homemade ice cream to historic downtown Algonquin. They wanted a place where families could begin traditions while experiencing flavors they will remember for a lifetime. Bob and Bobbie invite you to come visit their little shop. One of them are usually in ready to chat!

Riverbottom Coffee & Ice Cream Co. has become a community staple in Algonquin, IL thanks to our creamy gourmet ice cream. We take pride in our craft and are constantly trying new flavors. There’s something to please everyone in the family in our ice cream case! Follow us on Facebook for our myriad of flavors and daily specials!
