I don't think I've ever been here when there isn't a line wrapped around the shop; it's a very popular spot. I could be wrong, but I don't think they have AC inside, so be prepared to be a little toasty while waiting! They always have an overhead fan running, though. On this last visit, I ordered a single scoop of coconut caramel in a waffle cone. The ice cream itself was soo delicious, but my waffle cone was hard and stale, unfortunately.

One summer I ate every flavor of Gourmet Cooler (vanilla soft-serve in a slushie) that they had. We took our childhood dog here to get baby cones on the regular. My ultimate favorite - the cookie dough tornado. It has the best soft serve and heaping amount of soft cookie dough (none of those hard pellets you get at Dairy Queen) . It's addictive. Highly recommend stopping here when in season if visiting the area!

One of my all time fav soft serve ice cream stands! They have so many flavors to choose from. My…read moreabsolute fav is the Tornado with vanilla ice cream, oreos and cookie dough. The cookie dough is so fresh, it's delicious. The portion sizes are also very generous. I love that the stand is right before you hit the downtown main street, and super close to the river. It's just order at the stand and then they have a few outdoor tables. Whenever I'm in town, this is a must stop. Note their opening/hours are seasonal. They are also cash only.

He roasts his own coffee and the iced brew was really outstanding; fruity and complex. He also makes it into a milkshake ("affogato") which was also delicious.

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!
