You cannot go wrong with supporting local nor eating ice cream! While the line can get long (I…read moresuspect most visitors in the summer are on summer time anyway or visiting a cabin) so I recommend embracing it all in and enjoy the beautiful weather that we don't get 24/7. There is lots of street parking and an oversized funky chair on the exterior that is unique to snap a photo on. Inside, you will feel transported back into your 70's and 80's ice cream parlor with typical ice cream options, shakes, sundaes, malts, etc. and even food options as well. There is also a small market where you can purchase candy, fudge, root beer, licorice, syrup, local honey and even beef sticks. My shake was delicious and I can't wait to visit again this summer. Thank you!!

I always visit the Milk Pail when I'm visiting or passing through Rice Lake. The place itself is as…read morecute as a button with its true red barn appearance and old time diner feel inside. The staff is always pleasant and easy to communicate with. Now let me tell you about the food -- they have some of the best ice cream in Wisconsin. More than that, they have amazing coffee and sandwiches as well. I can't say enough good things about the Milk Pail. I pray they always stay in business.

This place is amazing! On our way up North, we used Yelp to find a nearby liquor store for a…read morespecial bottle of Scotch, which led us here. Wow! We were amazed! It has everything from soup to nuts, literally, along with every conceivable type of spirit one could imagine. Beautifully set up & stocked. Extremely knowledgeable, gracious & friendly staff member, who went out of her way to wrap our present of Scotch for us. Highly, highly recommend! As an added bonus, another customer told us about a wonderful chocolate shop in Spooner, but that's for another review . . .

Also there was a couple sitting right by door, cuddling, and it was a little odd to watch. Normally, I've had a good experience with this Starbucks, but today something was just a little off. But on the bright side, our drinks looked nice.

However I do wish they would not use Amy's gluten-free because that's made in a week free factory and I've noticed they're gluten-free selection is gone down. I'm sure if I searched more I could probably find some more gluten free items but I really liked it when they had the gluten free but still it's an amazing store too bad I live far from waiting on from it but when I get to Rice lake I try and make it I think it's probably the last real grocery store left in the whole surrounding area. Thank you for that

I dislike them making a big deal if I want to package up my own groceries. When raw meat is placed with my fruit, yeah no, you need more training. I do like the self service area when I can do it myself, but most of the time I use cash and have to be forced to repacking my groceries when I get to the car. The best reason to go there is the Caribou Coffee shop. They are the best. Far better in taste compared to the Starbucks one, oh and the service is down to earth and friendly. I'll stop there regardless if I need any groceries or not whenever I'm in Rice Lake.

Warmed up is definitely my favorite, but since they're made fresh each day, you can't go wrong. Service: The staff is super nice and we got our cinnamon rolls very quickly. Ambience: Super cozy and cute environment. They have coloring sheets and board games for you to play, inviting you to stay a while and just enjoy your food and company. Also love the train theme decor and pictures because it's in a remodeled train depo. Over all: 9/10. Delicious cinnamon rolls and kind staff, not to mention a super cute and cozy environment.

Serving your standard espresso drinks from macchiatos to lattes, many of the drinks can be made hot or iced. There is even a seasonal menu for specialty purposes. Quiches are served either crusted or uncrusted with many unique options including one with turkey, cranberries and feta. Quiches can be served independent or with a side. I opted for the side of broccoli salad and it was phenomenal. The caramel latte was delicious as well and served with a lovely art design on top. Sweatshirts, pottery mugs, handmade cards, soaps, perfumes and more are available for purchase. Board games, stencils and puzzles are located near the bathrooms if you have little ones or are wanting to be in your child like element. Don't forget to sign the guest book near the register! I enjoyed my time on the exterior front porch as was in awe of all the patrons walking in and out. Looking forward to my next visit so I can try more of the pastries as the cinnamon rolls were calling my name. Bonus: There is a train that still runs near the back of the building so you will really be on theme if you get to see it go by. Enjoy!
