    Cathy's was a great time. I have been coming up to Cathy's for like ten years. Cathy's is a small…read morebuilding it is bright yellow and super cute. It has great hours so if you want a late night sweet you can get it. It closes at 10pm. It has plenty of different flavors. My favorite flavor is pirates bounty. It is caramel ice cream with chocolate, m and m's, and brownies pieces. It is mouth watering delicious. There is other flavors including After dinner mint, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, raspberry truffle, sea salt, superman, blue moon, caramel nut, toasted almond fudge, mint bon bon, banana cream, cotton candy, sorbet, and other ones. You can order them in cones, cups, milk shakes, malts, and Sundaes. The place has a cute candy shop with a very wide variety of sweets. It has salitte wafers, gummy bears, chocolates, and a lot of other kinds of candy. They also sell these soft animal stuffed animals, perfect if you have little kids. Cathy's sells cool t-shirts. They have a couple seats inside, but outside they have a bunch of tables, benches, and picnic tables. It has great views just from your seat. The service is outstanding. It is usually a bunch of teenagers working. They are super kind and very friendly. They are personable and they get to know you. It makes me welcomed. Also it suitable for anyone to come here. If you are in a wheelchair they have a ramp to enter. If you can't eat gluten there is gluten free options for you to choose from. Overall I had a great experience at Cathy's. In my opinion it is the best ice cream shop in the northwoods.

There is indoor and outdoor seating, although the indoor seating is limited. They do have a small dock you can pull up to if you're coming from the lake, but it probably can't accommodate larger boats or multiple boats at once. The candy selection has decreased over the years but they do have a fun options of candy, chocolate and ice cream! It can get pretty busy in the evenings and on warm days, but the line moves quickly and the staff is always welcoming and efficient.

    We've had good experiences here in the past and are not ones to leave reviews but our experience…read moretoday was unacceptable. Ordered specialty drinks outside after 3 p.m. Inside was closed so only outside menu was available. Two of our drinks were not as pictured on the board outside (a main ingredient was missing). We approached staff who stated only "sorry we are out of that." We planned to sit outside but there are only 4 chairs (party of 4) and one was dirty so we left to eat elsewhere in town. It was closing time for this business. The two drinks that were incorrect were VERY sour. I ate part of mine ($8 ea) but did not finish and we went to another local business and ordered a different drink for my spouse (tossed both of these in the trash) as she stated Her's was also too sour (and she typically likes sour). We decided to contact the business via social to request a refund. The owner did not take responsibility, blamed us and made false accusations. They stated we were refunded but given the name calling they engaged in and unusual nature of the message we received we told them it appears they must have confused us with another customer so I'm unsure if we were actually refunded. I let them know this and I stated they need to apologize and they then blocked us. We would never act inappropriate in any way. To imply so is insulting. The experience ruined our day. We will never again frequent this business.

    First off, I'm a tourist to Washburn. Not a loud-mouth "I want everything NOW" tourist, but I…read moreappreciate the hometown vibe and welcoming atmosphere here. Yes, we had to wait since the ice cream treats were made by hand and there was a line of kids & families waiting at the window. I'm an adult and we can wait our turn. It was a treat to try their special of the day (in honor of the Superior Vistas Bicycle Ride) of Ice Cream Nachos! Glad we decided to split one-it was too much for one person!
