    Houseman's Ice Cream Welcome to this neighborhood, family-friendly ice cream shop! Not only is their patio space so cute and perfect for enjoying a sweet treat, but their menu is also filled with so many fun creations! They offer a variety of sundaes that are seriously irresistible! They also serve up an AMAZING almond milk based soft serve!

    Stopped in here after walking 10.5 miles along the Kent trail. A sweet little treat to end the day. I went with a cherry glacier, cherry slush is topped with a scoop of light vanilla soft serve. I was really excited about the slush, but finding out that I could add ice cream to it made my day! There is plenty of seating located behind the shop and a very large parking lot. The drinking fountain in the back is a great addition, and must save them from constantly getting people little cups of water.

    Great place for ice cream! Portions are larger than normal so a medium shake could pass for a large. There were about a dozen flavors of hand dipped ice cream and even more flavors for soft serve. The salted caramel was amazing.

    Great place to take a 5 and 8 year old. Wonderful selection of high end ice creams. No indoor dining but lots of fun.

    Good ice cream and friendly staff, but the ice cream is very overpriced.

    They are a good place to have ice cream they sell some food I believe. Just a bit overprice but it's worth it!

    And its right by some Kent Trails, so you can go for a nice walk after your treat so there's no guilt either!

    On my way out of town from Gun Lake, I stopped at Curly Cone about 6 miles from the casino, and…read morehonestly, it ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. At first glance, it looks like a small ice cream stand, but it's grown into much more. There's a farm stand, a catering truck, and a full menu that goes way beyond desserts. They serve breakfast all day, along with burgers, shakes, and classic diner-style food. When we went around 9:30 a.m. on a Wednesday, it was packed with locals, which is usually a good sign. The food really stood out. The bacon was easily the best part--thick, meaty, perfectly cooked, with a rich smoky flavor that tasted like it came straight from a local farm, not a package. The home fries were another highlight, with chunks of potatoes and long strands of caramelized onions that felt very nostalgic and homemade, like something you'd get from your grandmother's kitchen. The atmosphere is very old-school diner. Lots of booth seating, a counter where you can sit and order like the classic milkshake-and-coffee spots, and an overall cozy, small-town vibe. The service matched that feel too--the waitress was extremely friendly and welcoming. One thing to note: it was very cold inside. It was about 26° outside that morning, but I still had to keep my coat on while eating, which took away from the comfort a bit. There's not a ton immediately around it--just a gas station across the street and a Mexican restaurant next door (which was closed when we went), though there are a few more options a short drive away. Overall, Curly Cone is a hidden gem. It may look like an ice cream stop, but it delivers a full, satisfying diner experience with standout breakfast food and a strong local feel. Just maybe keep your coat handy if you're visiting in the winter.

    Really amazing soft serve! I do not understand how they do the flavor bursts, but they work. The…read moreenvironment is clean and cute with endless purchasable retail around on every counter. The service was neutral to curt. They probably have very intense days as staff and so I'm gonna give them a ton of credit here about their lack of friendliness. This place is worth a stop, even if the staff is tough.
