Rich & Creamy

920 N Broadway St , Joliet, IL 60435

Bakeries

Rich & Creamy is typical of ice cream stores that dotted Route 66 in its heyday, when Broadway was a leg of the highway in Joliet.

On a hot summer day, stop by the Rich & Creamy for a cold treat before enjoying the park.  City leaders restored Rich & Creamy back to the retro appearance from its heyday. Jake and Elwood, The Blues Brothers, dance atop the tower wrapped in neon lights. The adjoining Route 66 Park has an eclectic collection of public art works that celebrate Joliet’s rich and vibrant art culture. Don’t miss the overlook for a bird’s eye view of the Collins Street Prison. There are informational kiosks that highlight Route 66 attractions throughout the park.
