Visiting from out of town, and this was our first time at this location (we've been to the one in…read moreEau Claire). It's a cute shop with a fun, oversized ice cream seat out front. You can enjoy your treats there or grab a table inside. We got a warm greeting from a young woman who helped with our order. We chose a couple of malts, a dish, and a double scoop in a waffle cone. The portions were very generous (maybe I should have gone with a single?). Everyone loved what they got. They also sell other items, including bulk coffee, apparel, and various merchandise. Would definitely come back again.

This place is fantastic! Really high quality ice cream…read more Ice cream is one of the few things that has gotten better in the last, say 25 years or so, rather than worse. That being the case, given that Olsen's has been around along time I wasn't sure if it was not-as-good old style ice cream, or much better modern ice cream. I have to say it's the latter. So so good! So much so that I have to make a point to stop in Chippewa Falls for a cone every time I pass by. The staff are super friendly and helpful with samples.

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!!

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.

It's hard to go wrong with ice cream but easy to screw up service and atmosphere. This place gets it all right. Beautiful garden patio with violin music piped outside makes me feel like I'm in Europe or at least somewhere not in small town Wisconsin. Love the glass goblets they serve ice cream in too! Will be back for sure:)

The ice cream (which they make themselves) was okay. Nothing to really write home about. It was relatively expensive, and probably not worth the price. Also the service was not to great. The selection of homemade candy and popcorn was very large. I did not try it though. Overall it wasn't bad, but not really worth my time. That does not mean it's like that now, though.

Amazing. I forget what my boyfriend got but it was a cold sandwich with different deli meats, cheese, and veg. See picture. Their beef sticks (the teriyaki, in particular) were the best I've ever had, and being born and raised in the Midwest, I've tried a lot of beef sticks. Their cheese was also great (I recommend the sharp cheddar, bacon cheddar, smoked provolone, and onion cheese). Ice cream was okay. The interior and exterior are very instagram-able. Worth a day trip from the cities for sure! Check out the nearby National Eagle Center while you're in town.
