Great find! And the service is top notch! I stopped in yesterday around noon and asked for a custom ice cream cake on short notice for a 7pm dinner. The custom design that I asked for was done flawlessly....but the biggest surprise, was how AMAZINGLY GOOD the cake and ice cream was. After a HUGE steak dinner at Carnevor, I wasn't sure anyone had room for ice cream cake. Yeah right! Every single person at the table commented on how delicious it was... I will DEF visit Babe's again for future cake and ice cream needs!

Kinda mediocre. interesting that they have soy-based flavors, italian ices and yogurt, though. maybe i'm just salty they didn't have chocolate peanut butter, but I didn't think it was anything special. Might be jaded from too much Kopp's.
(3)Jason B.
If I lived nearby, I'd go here often. A little too often. They have very interesting flavors, like green tea, black licorice, fruity Superman, Fat Elvis, a Fruit Loops type flavor, etc. All natural, good prices, very, very delicious and satisfying. Plus free samples and very friendly staff.
(5)Cory Z.
In short, they're not bad, but the bar is high in Milwaukee with the custard joints and such. We keep going back here, but it's because we're suckers for ice cream and it's about all there is in Bayview right now. There's much better all over MKE. The prices are a bit expensive, and the service is very hit or miss. They can be glacial slow in dipping ice cream. If you're at Chill on the Hill, grab a cone. They do a pretty good job at events even if they charge a bit more. I'd avoid them otherwise.
(3)Deborah D.
I'm in love with this place. Everyone is super friendly and the vegan sundae is beyond amazing. I can't wait to try everything vegan they offer. I will be returning again and again and again and again, until I'm 300 pounds!
(5)Ryan S.
I have lived in Milwaukee for the past five years and only discovered Babe's last week. I have since been back three times, twice alone. This place is the bees knees.
(5)Jake B.
A great place for ice cream. Lots of flavors including some soy & low fat options. Only gripe: not open later than 8pm Serving Chocolate Shoppe ice cream.
(5)Angela W.
Ahh Babes, how I love thee! Maybe it's because I scooped Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream in high school or maybe, just maybe it's because it's DELICIOUS! Truly the best hand scooped ice cream. Then let's add friendly staff and a cute little shop with indoor or outdoor seating and we have perfection. A happy little place. I think it's also important to note that although I eat the fulle fledged authentic ice cream, they also keep dietary options available, both NSA and Soy... And not just one flavor, but an assortment of each. That is really keeping all customers in mind!
(5)Daniela C.
Ever since I've found out about this place, I'm in love. They have a wide variety of options, from ice cream cakes to ice cream cookies to sundaes and shakes. While I, myself, am not vegan, I do appreciate that they have MANY (and I meant MANY) vegan options. The staff here are always friendly, and the place itself it a dog-friendly establishment, which I truly appreciate. If you ask for a puppy cone, they also offer this, so Watson (my dog) is always in for a treat when we stop by! My personal favorites are the Zanzibar chocolate ice cream, which is very rich and just all sorts of yum, as well as the banana fudge sundae. Last week they ran out of bananas, so I was a little bummed, but the sundae itself will always be my favorite here. They have the option of chocolate or regular whipped cream, both of which are homemade. I love this personal touch. They are only open seasonally, and then when they open up in the spring, it's usually just a few days at first, then open all of the time for the summer. This place really is a neat treat!
(4)Margaret H.
Yumm! This is my favorite spot to stop in for a treat. I always get the Cookie Monster sundae. Cookie dough ice cream with cookies on top with whipped cream and a cherry. They make the whipped cream fresh and it's amazing. They have lots of options for ice cream which include soy options and even chocolate covered bananas and ice cream cookie sandwiches and cakes. If you come here a lot ask for a sundae card. Each time you buy a sundae you get a punch and when the card is full you get a free sundae! Everyone that works here is so nice including the owner and there are tables to sit both inside and out. Definitely an all year destination and a don't miss!
(5)Angela K.
I absolutely LOVE Babe's! So many flavorful options and even a few soy & vegan options. You must try their ice cream sandwich cookies & their non-dairy whipped cream is to die for...try the chocolate!
(5)Sara S.
Shocking that the vegan ice cream is so rich and delicious. Best Vegan ice cream. Period.
(5)Matt L.
Vegan Friendly Hands down the best (and only?) vegan ice cream shop in Milwaukee. Everytime im down on KK I always stop in. They do milkshakes and sundays and even home make vegan whipped cream. Generally have 6-8 vegan choices, Generally always the same rotation of choices. You can also order vegan ice cream cakes which is great, and im excited to try. I'd suggest parking on the street behind Babe's.
(5)Johanna L.
I love the vintage vibe this place has going for them. Very cute and cozy! I think that they are run by The Chocolate Shop chain, but they have kept the original atmosphere with is fantastic. Staff were very friendly even when faced with a daunting group of 12 women at 8:00 at night on a Saturday. Tons of flavors and ways to enjoy them, plus they have ice cream cakes and other frozen cake-like delights. I had the cherry Italian ice in a sugar cone and it was just right. Prices are reasonable, too. I loved that the older gentleman who waited on us got a kick out of me saying "If I had my druthers" (in response to comparing ice cream choices with a companion).
(5)Tim K.
I thought Babe was an ox but this place is moooorific!! As a sailor I can appreciate the Macinac Island fudge but I went with the cotton candy blend. I have to say no regrets with the choice. I'll come back again when the heat settles in...
(4)Christina M.
Not only does Babe's have tasty vegan ice cream, they have a plethora of vegan toppings (and a homemade vegan whipped cream), vegan ice cream cakes (readily available), and vegan ice cream cookie sandwiches. And it all tastes so good!
(5)Cristina S.
Yum yum! Such a great ice cream place! Had the coconut and French silk in a waffle cone. Preferred the coconut but both were appetizing. Very friendly staff! A definite must in Milwaukee:)
(4)Jen F.
Now proudly displaying their many vegan options painted right on the window! It took me forever to get here, because Milwaukee is just too damn cold. Sorry, but this delicate southern flower is just not up for eating frozen foods in 30 degree weather. Maybe that's why Babes is closed for most of the winter? Perhaps I'm not the only one. But now that they're open, and the sun is out, and temps above freezing.... I'm there! I'm all up on the vegan milkshakes, scoops, sandwiches..... and I can't wait to get a custom VEGAN ICE CREAM CAKE!!! what!?! yes, tis true. They are now making vegan ice cream cakes (cake by East Side Ovens!) Cute place, very family friendly. Tons of regular ice cream selections, and usually 4 vegan ones: raspberry nebula, pecan, chocolate chip and oreo seem to be in the regular rotation. (All good!) This is totally the kind of place you pop into on a stroll around Bay View or make a special trip for a treat!
(4)Jim F.
I admit that I love ice cream and, dare I say, more so than custard (although, to me, they are different things - like pie v. cake -- frozen yogurt is a distant third, like getting fruit salad at the end of your meal). At any rate, even if this place sold only the chocolate, it is a 5 star easy. Best ice cream in Milwaukee in my opinion, and I'm beginning to see this brand nationally. Please open a location on the North Shore!.
(5)Joseph D.
I have eaten my fair share of Babe's ice cream and I have to finally give them a review. The flavors of chocolate are amazing and the selections are vast, but varied. They have a smaller but mighty selection of vegan ice cream as well. Recently however my experience has been poor at the shop in Bayview. The ice cream is still top notch but when I asked the staff to make a sundae with chocolate rather than vanilla they stated it was policy that they could not make substitutions. I understand wanting to maintain a particular flavor combination, but it isn't that they won't make it they just want you to spell out each topping that would be in the sundae rather than just making them with a different ice cream. It was even cheaper to do it that way, so that isn't their motivation. The person was so unpleasant about it my opinion has been changed about the shop. If you want the ice cream but not the attitude, go to Grace and Shelly's in WFB. They have a good selection plus some tasty baked goods.
(3)Jennifer C.
This is a great place to get ice cream if you have a craving for ice cream. They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from. They don't have a lot of tables to sit but it's a great place to get something if you are on the go.
(5)Laurence L.
What do you after bar food fails to fill the stomachs of 12 year old grandsons... you hunt up some great milk shakes, and Babe's more than filled the bill. I enjoyed the mocha and ice cream slurpy, and my wife found a great sugar cone with just the right flavor. Service was fast and courteous and parking lot just around the corner, and if I weren't protecting a temporary crown, there was a machine filled with Fleer's Double Bubble. I've never seen that. Parking lot around the corner, and Milwaukee friendliness.
(4)Colin A.
PROS: Wide variety of flavors -- raspberry rhapsody was my favorite of the multiple samples (eventually settled on this). Vegan ice cream -- sweet! My veggie/vegan friends would dig on Babe's offerings, especially because they can remember times where asking for "vegan" offerings was like asking if you could kick someone's dog. Service -- with a smile, no judging when you can't pick a flavor :-) Did I mention Raspberry Rhapsody??? Delicious, overpowering scoops piled high on a waffle cone. Yum city. CONS: There are not really anything I can think of. The only thing is Babe's is like many ice cream shops I've been to before. What sets it apart is the vegan offerings. There does not seem to be many other ice cream shops in this area so it is nice to see Bayview getting some love especially since Gilles, Kopps, Leons, et al, are seemingly so far away. Many have commented that the bar is already set ridiculously high in MKE for frozen treats. Babe's at least meets that bar and says "hey what's up, Brew City?" -- but it will take a bit more to rise above.
(3)Tina R.
So this place has a lot of ice cream flavors and it tastes decent. One employee, an older male specifically, was downright rude and cocky which made it very hard to actually enjoy the tolerable taste of the ice cream. Otherwise, this place is ok. Would I ever travel from the east side to kk for it again? Absolutely not!
(2)Roxy R.
This place is a vegan's paradise! They have more vegan flavors of soy ice cream than George's in Chicago. And they have vegan toppings, as well. AND they have a vegan soy ice cream cake!!!! And I got a green gumball in the gum machine so I got a free topping! Damn I love Milwaukee!
(5)Rachael G.
Oh Babe's! You have done me wrrrooong! I love Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream so I was very excited to find out that that was the brand Babe's carried! And it's only a 3 block walk? Score! So the boyfriend, the pup, and I decided to walk to Babe's on a scorcher of a day recently. I decided to be a good girl and get a one scoop and my boyfriend treated himself to a 2 scoop, both of them were in dishes. My beef? I literally got A scoop. One damn scoop. My little scoop looked so pathetic in its cup. I realize I'm not going to recieve a giant amount, but I've been to an actual Chocolate Shoppe store front where a 1 scoop was really about 2 literal scoops of ice cream. The worst part? They charged me 2 dollars and 85 cents FOR A LITERAL SCOOP OF ICE CREAM. With my boyfriends "2" scoop, which was also measley, it came to 7 Mother freaking dollars. I could have bought a pint of ben and jerry's and a beer for that price! Will I think twice about going to Babe's again? You bet I will!
(2)Amy E.
Really good ice cream makes me happy. Really good ice cream close to my house makes me even happier. Babe's Ice Cream = Happiness. This is the perfect spot in the summer to get a couple of scoop, beat the heat and enjoy Bay View. I can't recall ever having a bad scoop of ice cream here (is there such a thing) - it's truly perfection! They also have a great assortment of soy and vegan ice cream treats there as well. Something for everyone!
(4)Meghan H.
You simply must come here!! We stopped by on a whim and were ever so pleasantly surprised! The lady dishing out our ice cream was SUPER nice! She could tell we were outta-towners, so she started talking to us about this particular neighborhood of Milwaukee and such. She was friendly in a not-overly-chatty-sorta-way! Now for the most important part.....THE ICE CREAM! Man, there's really not much you can say more than the fact that it was Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream! And when you hear that name, your ears should perk up already knowing it's gonna be pretty darn good. But Babe's really kept their ice cream at the absolute perfect temperature! Which I know sounds like a weird comment to make, but the ice cream connoisseur in me always looks out for this. It was ever so creamy and smooth---just soft enough, but not so soft that it is all melty. Plus they had THE best assortment of Chocolate Shoppe ice cream flavors~~~great variety at Babe's! (They had all my favorites that not all Chocolate Shoppe locations have: Zanzimint, Zanzibar Chocolate, Caramel Choco-Latte, !!Espresso Oreo!!). Not to mention, I love the neighborhood of MKE that this shop is in: up-and-coming yet historic.
(5)Rachel F.
I agree with Corey Z. almost completely on this one. The bar is set high in Milwaukee when it comes to nom-tastic frozen deliciousness. Kopp's. Leon's. Now Yo Mama! Dang. That said, who doesn't like ice cream? This place has enough in the way of variety to satisfy most any taste, and they've got frozen yogurt and sorbets and specialty sundaes as well. While I'm not thoroughly impressed, it fills a niche in the area it's situated in, and on a hot afternoon, who can resist? I can't.
(3)Unyime E.
Due to Milwaukee's obsession with frozen custard, this place will never get a fair roll of the dice. You look at the reviews and the bias is obvious. Luckily for you, I could care less about frozen custard. I'm "that guy" who'd rather have an OREO blizzard from DQ than go to Kopp's custard (though I love their burgers). With those blasphemous statements out of the way, you now know where I'm coming from with this review. The ice cream here is very good. I had a cone with a scoop of blueberry cheesecake and another of the key lime pie. The blueberry cheesecake tasted true to form, and had cheesecake chunks were a nice size. The key lime pie pleasantly surprised me; it was more sweet than tart...and there was pie crust! +1. I won't get into the consistency of the ice cream and all that, as we all know good ice cream when we have it. My fiancée raved about the horchata ice cream, so you might want to check that out as well. They have several soy-based products as well as frozen yogurt, but I doubt I'll be trying those anytime soon. Ice cream only for me at this location. I hope these guys stick around.
(4)Jessica M.
VEGAN ice cream! What a treat. Raspberry Rapsody....yum. Friendly lady working, pretty good size for a single scoop. Will be back!
(4)Tara S.
Craved ice cream one freezing November night, and my BF was nice enough to make the trek to Babe's with me for our first time ever there. We were pleasantly surprised to see they serve Chocolate Shoppe ice cream (our favorite brand) and I was very excited to see all the seasonal flavors I love. I got pumpkin on a cone and BF got carrot mango Italian ice - both were SO delicious. Not surprisingly, we were the only ones in the place, so service was very good. We sat and talked for a long time, and were never bothered. It was a great experience. I give Babe's 4 stars because I only give out 5-star reviews when I've been totally blow away. But really, Babe's is a great little ice cream shop and I'll definitely be back!
(4)Josh O.
Baaaaaby this place was A-OK. I do applaude them on their soy free ice cream which is helpful for some individuals. I actually did not try any of their ice creams but thoroughly enjoyed a Triple Berry Smoothie! The restaurant is quite small but the service was very friendly. I will come back with my soy friends and try some ice cream. If you're in the area, you might as well try it out too!
(3)Denise D.
I love this adorable ice cream parlor. It adds to the charm and variety of that crazy intersection in Bay View (Howell, Lincoln, KK), along with Riviera Maya, Lulu, Stone Creek Coffee, and Cafe Centraal. Great ice cream and nice staff are a plus, but what's truly terrific is the horchata flavor. It tastes exactly like horchata, that amazingly perfect Mexican rice milk. It's to the point where if I go there and they don't happen to have that flavor, I don't get anything.
(5)Catherine G.
Ice cream shops are hard to come by with all the awesome custard places in town. I reeeally wanted to like it more but I thought the ice cream was too melty. I appreciated that they had green tea as a flavor. It's one of my favorites, but it's so hard to come by. I just wished it had more flavor. Babe's version was a little too bland for my taste. I'll probably come back in the future to check out their ice cream cakes. They're around $18 and look like they have lots of potential to be good.
(3)Curtis S.
They have a good selection of flavors, and it is nice to see that old style of ice cream still being serves. This place reminded me of Baskin Robbins a bit with it having it's own originality. I went near the end of there year before they closing for winter so I got a discount on ice cream sandwiches and chocolate covered banana's. Very good and I'm sure we will go back in spring.
(4)Sara J.
I am biased in that they actually have ice cream I can eat! Being vegan you don't usually get to share a day out at an ice cream shop with anyone... usually. They have three soy based ice creams to pick from: oreo, espresso oreo, and raspberry rhapsody. My husband usually buys malts there (he is not a vegan, has whatever his heart desires). And, they are supportive of the Boulevard Theater near by! They also make ice cream cakes and frozen bananas covered in chocolate on a stick if that's your thing. Cute little shop with a good selection to pick from (they even have caffeinated ice cream!).
(5)Cory T.
They get 5 stars from me right out of the gate, just for having my favorite ice cream of all time: BLACK LICORICE. I'm aware that black licorice might not strike a chord with most ice cream aficionados, but to an Italian guy like me, it's a dream come true. Apparently, I'm not the only one--they tell me they sell a lot of it. Beyond that, their ice cream cakes and pies have been a huge hit whenever I've made them the centerpiece of a birthday or special occasion. The turtle pie seems to hit a home run for me every time I give one to someone. What I like about their ice cream cakes, as opposed to the same at Dairy Queen, is that Babe's actually uses layers of cake--not some lame crumbled fudge pebbles like DQ. When I give them enough heads up, they've been very gracious about accommodating my request to have the cake made with specific flavors that are the favorite of the birthday honoree, and they let me choose the frosting colors. The only funky thing I wish Babe's would change are the hours. They open later in the day, and they are not open during winter months. It's not like there are no birthdays or special occasions during winter. E.G. I went to get an ice cream cake for Valentine's Day. Nope, they were closed until summer. Bummer. Babe's: I love you, but find a way to market your cakes so you can stay open during the year. Maybe partner with a restaurant group to have Babe's Ice Cream Cakes available for special occasions so that you can build your brand. Just a suggestion. Look for their online coupon on their website. I've used them from time to time.
(5)Elizabeth A.
Their cake batter ice cream is a must-have! They also have great ice cream cake. They make ice cream sandwiches too: any flavored ice cream you want sandwiched between two giant chocolate chip cookies. So good!!
(5)Danielle B.
The ice cream at Babe's is great. I love that there are always so many delicious choices and if you're not in the mood for a scoop in a cone or bowl, you can choose a shake or coffee beverage or smoothie. It's a perfect stop after dinner at one of the many great restaurants in Bayview. I had a scoop of the Espresso Oreo tonight and my fiancee had the Espresso Oreo in shake form with Butterfinger blended in. We were both very happy with our selections. Babe's doesn't have the greatest atmosphere. It's small and the tables aren't exactly inviting. So it's not a place I'd like to sit and chat with a friend over milkshakes, but it's perfect to stop in and pick up something to go.
(3)Gerry L.
Elvis has entered the building!!! Banana ice cream, Peanut butter chunks and chocolate chips..."A whole lotta lovin goin on..."
(5)Rebecca S.
With flavors like Fat Elvis and Zanzibar chocolate, what's not to love? Parking can be a pain around here and the ice cream is a little on the pricy side, but it's a nice alternative to Dairy Queen, especially if you're looking to support your local restaurants in the area.
(3)Tiffany Ann W.
Love, love, love Babe's! Great variety, amazing product, reasonable prices!
(4)Kip G.
I've walked past Babe's on several occasions and finally decided to make a stop today. I'm a sucker for all of the Fat Elvis concoctions the city has to offer and the sundae at Babe's made this Sunday a helluva lot more enjoyable. I have a love/hate relationship with peanut butter. There are days I loathe it. There are days like today that I crave it. Fat Elvis ice cream is ban a flavored with peanut butter and chocolate added. The sundae combines sliced banana, a few scoops of deliciousness, covered with a peanut butter sauce and whipped cream. A bit too decadent for most days, but after a long hike it was somewhat medicinal. Did I mention that I also had a frozen chocolate covered banana with sprinkles? True.
(4)Peter F.
Finally tried some ice cream at Babes during one of the hot days last week. Went with a double scoop dish of cookie dough and mint chocolate chip. Figure I couldn't go wrong with these two choices. To back up a bit, there was probably a good 25 to 30 choices in ice cream, including vegan ice cream... not for me though. The first bit of cookie dough had a little too many ice crystals from sitting in the display freezer a little too long. Not a major complaint... both flavors were very creamy with a generous amount of choc. chips and cookie pieces. For my 4 bucks, I received two large scoops and left very happy. Next time, I'll order the Fat Elvis sundae... banana and peanut butter.
(4)Chelsea V.
I enjoy me some Babes...esp when they had their Birthday Cake ice cream (holy crap they mixed crack in there man)...I went yesterday, Sunday 10/7, to see if they still had that ice cream...walked in, only one woman working, she didnt even turn around to greet me, kept her back to me, i paced for about 3min, she still didnt turn around...I finally leaned over and said Excuse Me. she turned around as if I was totally in the wrong and I was the rude one...I asked for a sample (can I get a sample of the chocolate???Can I get a sample of the melted? ha) She in a huff gave it to me then quickly turned around again! Um, dont you think I wanted to order something??? So then I said um, I'd like a pint of that....and she was like "ok fine".... I got the Snap o Lantern...spiced pumpkin and gingersnap...it is fucking amazing...but Babes get some better customer service. this is my 4th trip and I was totally bummed I was treated like I shouldnt have been in there buying ice cream, giving you profit. It also didnt help that there was a table of old ladies that immediately stopped talking and watched my every move until I left---aint you bitches ever see a dyke buy ice cream before? I work at a deli and this is what I say when I see a new customer "hey let me know if I can get something for ya" "would you like to taste that?" "what did ya think, ya like it?" "Ok how much would you like?" "thanks so much for comin in!" BAM good Customer service. Never the less-I will still go to babes for ice cream, but I'll probably send my straight looking girlfriend in.
(3)Sarah T.
I really want to like Babe's. It's in my neighborhood; I've been a patron since my high school days, and it's played a major part in the revival of Bay View. But there's something about over-priced, mediocre ice cream parlors that really, really grates on my nerves. For instance: A single brownie sundae at Babe's costs approximately $5.00. It's composed of one whole brownie, one pathetic scoop of your choice of ice cream, and drizzles of chocolate and caramel toppings. Fresh whipped cream finishes the dessert. For one scoop of ice cream, five dollars seems a little.. extreme. Maybe another scoop or two would make the price of the sundae more agreeable? To be honest, you'd be better off buying a pint of your favorite ice cream ($5.00) -- $3.75 will only get you two scoops' worth of whatever you've ordered. The ice cream itself is sometimes questionable. Sure, there are a few amazing flavors (Zanzibar Chocolate, coconut, Blue Moon, Fat Elvis, horchata, Malt Amore); but other than that, the ice creams served at Babe's are very often hit-or-miss. Sometimes the promised flavors just aren't there. Service is usually great, 'cept for last night when an employee with arms that can only be described as "string bean-y" could barely scoop my ice cream, let alone use the paper punch to put a new hole in my sundae card. Avoid the sundaes. Go for a select few flavors of ice cream. Oh, and don't order a chocolate-dipped waffle cone. They're usually stale.
(2)Adam B.
Babe's is a nice little ice cream place in Milwaukee. It gets 4 stars from me for one reason though.....HORCHATA ICE CREAM! Holy crap! It was awesome! I had a scoop of the espresso oreo too and it was also good but the horchata won out. The wife tried the soy chocolate chip and said it was good as well.
(4)Jason B.
I'm addicted to Babe's. I go here a lot more than I should. But I can't help it, I swear! This is the leaded stuff, so don't scarf down a cone unless you will be able to sleep with yourself afterward! There's a sign hanging in the dining area openly admitting the completely unhealthy nature of their product which seems to be advocating some weird "don't ask, don't tell" policy about nutritional information. It's this sign that haunts me after my shameful dairy binges. They have a nice variety of flavors that rotate throughout the season. I have to agree with Denise D on the ultimate supremacy of the horchata flavor. It must be popular because they rarely have enough left to make me an horchata milkshake, but when they do I'm a very happy camper. The Zanzibar chocolate is also pretty boss. It's decadent and super rich - chocolate lovers must try this uniquely potent concoction. Unfortunately, they never have more than two employees behind the counter, so expect to wait a bit when other customers are in there. During the summer this wait time is often exacerbated by loud motley tribes of little hellions spazing out over the multi-colored superman ice cream.
(4)Tim K.
Hey, vegan ice cream in Milwaukee in what seems to be a cool neighborhood. The shake I had was good and big. So yeah, anything with vegan stuff gets my support.
(4)Lindsay T.
i went to babe's after getting an email alerting me to the fact that they stocked vegan ice cream. hooray! i've gone twice now, each time after a trip to classic slice, and i've had great ice cream both times. they offer two different vegan flavors every day, rotating among four different flavors (if i understood correctly). on my first trip i had the mint chocolate chip, which was delicious. today i had regular ol' chocolate chip (in vanilla), and it was also great. they're very creamy, and the chocolate chips are awesome. my only wish is that they carried even more flavors, but beggars can't be choosers, so i'll just keep eating the few they have. now if only kopp's could find a way to follow suit. ;) updated to add: they also have vegan blue moon! holy blast from the past, fruit-loop-flavored ice cream is ridiculously good. i've been back for the blue moon twice now, and i think it's my favorite one.
(4)Christopher H.
This is the perfect little ice cream parlor. Not many seats but who cares when you can try all the flavors for free? Order the richest most delicious chocolate you will find anywhere. And ice cream cakes that are second to none. Stop by while summer is still swinging in Milwaukee.
