Like many others we were just passing through and I came across this Ice Cream Shoppe. Being in…read morethe car for about 2 hours - it's time to get out and stretch and get some good ice cream. So many flavors to choose from, there's a ton here, and I asked some of the locals and they all have their favorites. The great thing is they will let you sample whatever your heart desires. So I tried almost all of the scooped ice cream, and then they had ice cream from the machine. Well in the end my dad wanted a strawberry milkshake, she wanted Butter Pecan - which they did not have - so we got her some Caramel Fudge thing and it was really good. Meanwhile I got 3 small scoops of ice cream - all different flavors. But the winner was the Strawberry Milkshake! Wow - I took a sip of my dad's and was like darn I should have gotten that instead of my 3 scoops. So why the hell not? I'm on vacay and won't be back here for a long time, in fact they are closing soon for the season, so I got myself a small strawberry milkshake - and it was awesome! Probably the best damn strawberry milkshake I've ever had! I mean - the last one I recall having was McDonald's I think, and this beats the heck out of that. Awesome ice cream and awesome friendly high energy peppy service here by all the girls who work here very well as a team. It's like a cheer squad in action - they yell out orders and directions and the person goes executes and brings your order. I'd be here every week in the spring and summer if I was around! Really reasonable prices too!

It's a place hidden in the historic Downtown Northfield, right along the river in a "tunnel" that you have to be looking for to find. The seasonal workers (not open in the winter time) are always super friendly, and even when it's really busy (which is more often than not) you get your order rather quick. Now, you may wait 30 mins in line, and an additional 15 for your ice cream... however it's well worth the wait. Long story short, make sure you have time if you plan on going. I always mean to snag a good pic of the ice cream, but we're always so ready to eat I always forget. Enjoy the best ice cream in Northfield!!

Wash it all down with a bottle of Spring Grove Pop, a local favorite that you can't find outside the area. It's the self-proclaimed "Cheese Curd Capital of Iowa" and I believe them, given that the Frankville cheese factory has been out business for many years. And, for good measure, there is a legit-looking coffee bar as well. And, if you've never seen curds being made, check out the viewing room out back. All in all, the experience is very much like visiting the Tilamook cheese factory in Oregon, but on a more personal, less industrial scale; gift shop, coffee, ice cream, cheese and curds - no whey!

The service was incredibly kind and welcoming, with the warmth you'd expect from a small-town business. The ambiance was exceptional--from the charming storefront to the inviting interior. They even had toys available for families with young kids, which was a thoughtful touch that didn't go unnoticed. And the food absolutely won me over. Every bite was packed with flavor, and everything was so tender it practically melted apart. It felt fresh, carefully prepared, and in a completely different league than the typical sandwich chains. Places like Subway simply can't replicate this experience. My only criticism would be the cleanliness of a few surfaces. The counter where I signed my receipt and our table were both noticeably sticky and seemed like they could have used a quick wipe-down. It was an area that stood out but certainly wasn't enough to keep me from coming back! Overall fabulous!!
