The yard has a cute fireplace area, and inside is a cute shop with great treasures. Everything in the shop is fresh and local, from their cheeses to the honey, soup mixes and trinkets.

Can't wait for my next trip home to swing by this place!

You can also have this place ship cheese to relatives in other states. You can give them a little piece of wisconsin by shipping them great tasting cheese varieties.

They also have a bunch of great local products like meats, cheeses, butter, and all of the Sassy Cow items too. I got a big bottle of maple syrup and some salami.

We all got grilled cheese variations with apples, salad and soup as sides. The chicken bacon ranch grilled cheese was overall the best. Both of the salads had rotten leaves, so best to avoid that unless you're ok picking through for good leaves. Service 5/5: the food came quickly and the staff was very friendly. Ambiance 1/5: we were very disappointed overall since they hype themselves up as an experience that includes cows. There were no cows in sight. I know during the summertime they will have baby cows, but overall to me there should be more transparency around not actually seeing cows when you visit the creamery. Other than that there is a small parking lot that can get very busy at times, but plenty of places to sit. We did love the kids playground outside but all of the bikes were broken/didn't work and the bags put away for corn hole. Overall we were really disappointed at this trip. No cows and lunch was just ok. If you are looking for a spot just for ice cream, they have amazing options and plenty of room for the kids to play, just don't tell your kids there are cows because you likely won't see any.

We spend a lot of time in this area and Willow Creek Cheese has become a bit of a regular stop…read more They have samples available and a wide selection of cheese, both theirs and other brands, plus Wisconsin honey and maple syrup. They also make a delicious lemon quark. We happened onto a cheese they had recently that was called crumbly extra sharp cheddar at a great price and it's really good in breakfast eggs.

I got a variety of cheese, meats, crackers, souvenirs, etc. Dropped a lot of dough I guess cuz I got one of those cooler bags that you get if you spend over $60-65 (forgot). I can't believe I found butterkase there. I haven't had butterkase cheese since I was in Germany. The second time I went, I went because my friends told me I must get the chocolate cheese. I went back to get that plus a few more other cheeses. I also went next door to Usingers to get more meats! It's slightly cheaper there for Usinger brand stuff. Anyway, very cute store with lots of options.
