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.

I've never had bad service or bad food there. In fact, we stop because the food is delicious and service is timely, considering the food is always made fresh as we wait. I also enjoy the variety of food choices. I'd recommend this restaurant - unless you can't chill out and you go in with an "attitude". If so, then please stay away so we can enjoy our stay while we're there. Thank you Bloomer DQ!

Need a spot to dine when you're up at the cabin or somewhere quaint and local? Look no further then…read moreLaura's Bake Shop. Located on the main drag of Spooner, WI, you will travel inside a small strip mall with just a few other shops. Laura's is located at the very end of the hall with excellent signage. Upon arrival, you will more then likely be greeted by Laura! It's her shop and she wears multiple hats. From baking local goods, taking speciality orders, cashiering, hostessing and cooking - she does it all! A very small interior but everything is made from the heart. Stay for just a moment and you will be provided with a friendly conversation or a hot cup of coffee. My family went for breakfast and got seated extremely quick. The omelettes are excellent and the baked goods are top notch! Outside the shop Laura has a small boutique of little trinkets you can buy as well such as coffee cups, wall art, drink glasses, cookie jars, etc. Come give it a whirl!

Homemade frozen custard! Say no more!…read more We were out snowshoeing at the Timberland Ski Trails and required a frozen treat after such a strenuous workout. It is only a 15 minute drive and located off the county highway. This is a one stop shop for local goods and organic foods. It is small but has produce, bread, meat, dairy, dry goods and local crafts. Everything is either organic and/or made locally. If I lived in the area or vacationed here, I would definitely shop at this store. But the true gem is the custard. WOW! I wasn't sure what to expect but the two scoops I tried were so flavorful and delicious! I had one scoop of coffee and one scoop of chocolate caramel crunch. Very please with my selections. The waffle cone was also very good. My boyfriend had two scoops of salted caramel praline and while he enjoyed it, I think too scoops was a bit much as it become very salty toward the end. Writing this review I am daydreaming about eating more. I kind of regret not buying a pint to go but now I have more incentive to return!

A good sized selection but this…read moreBlueberry Cream Cheese Turnover (Bismarck) was one of their best sellers according to the lady at the counter. I'm a huge fan of fruit and cream cheese pastries, donuts and desserts. The blueberry was too subtle and not strong enough to pair with the bold and prominent cream cheese. Fruit by itself doesn't really do it for me, but something about cream cheese just helps bring in a whole new flavor and compliments the fruit flavor so well! The donut itself was super soft and buttery and held together that splooge oh so well. A little more blueberry and this would be a homerun - 8.9/10 Other donuts were great including those fritters. Definitely a go to stop for anyone in Barron, WI looking for a sweet treat

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!

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.
