Cute little walk-up ice cream shop on the bike path, just a block from the main drag in New Glarus…read more Any wait is always worth it for Chocolate Shoppe ice cream. Patience will pay off in a sweet way! We had single cake cones of Caramel Apple Pie ice cream....possibly THE BEST FALL flavor of all!! Rich and creamy with chucks of apple and shortbread accented with cinnamon and caramel. It's so delicious!! YUM.

I would've never thought to see Purple Door Ice Cream in MADISON!!! I was so excited to see this…read morebecause I knew there'd be a wide variety of flavors to pick from. We jumped right into a scoop of the campfire - a smokey, non-marshmallow-based ice cream with chocolate and a cold brew blackberry chip - a caffeinated, not so bitter, sweet with blackberry chunks ice cream. The people who were helping us (who we also presumed had owned the place) were incredibly sweet and had us sample a ton of ice creams without asking. I guess in the same vein would recommend the salted vanilla bean!!

Ice cream with great views next to a lake! What else is there to say…read more.. This is a great local spot to stop in to get a scoop of ice cream and then take a walk around the lake or just sit at the dairy bar and enjoy the view. I don't remember the brand of ice cream they serve, but I think it's made locally. You can also order food here, but I didn't see any menu to order off of. Maybe you just know what's available. Or you have to actually talk to someone to get the menu?!

From the owner: Great fresh food and 18 flavors of ice creamread more

**July 2025: Late Morning Visit**…read more Spotted Cow! The city of New Glarus is basically a Spotted Cow destination! Wherever you go most restaurants will serve this beer, which is very malty. This beer is only available in Wisconsin but if you want the seasonal stuff visiting the New Glarus Gift shop will give you the most options Tuesday-Saturday: 10am-5pm I think the tasting option is $8 for 3 pours. It's a good way to try out all the different options before deciding on which bottles (or cans) you want to buy. The Stone Soup (Seasonal) was my favorite, but you can't go wrong with the original Spotted Cow. I think the majority of the seasonal beers were in bottles. I think they come in packs of either 4 or 6. The prices here are pretty comparable to if you buy them from a Wisconsin Target, but the big box stores have less variety. Since I was doing a big cross country roadtrip my weight allowance could not' accommodate everything I wanted *cries* and they don't ship their booze *cries* Next time I come back I'll make sure to make bring an empty suitcase! If you're visiting New Glarus your trip won't be complete without a visit to the factory (gift shop)!

They were running low on truffles, but got some of those too. Couldn't believe the giant sprinkle covered marshmallows were only $2.75. If this were my college town, I know where my sugar-junky fix would get fixed. They had a few fun fudges, and ice cream and popcorn out the wazoo. Friendly, helpful staff. Great spot!
