Coffee and cookies, and vanilla fudge are SO GOOD! The line was long but it went quickly, especially if you know what you want. The price is not bad either for a single scoop. read more

I recently moved to Eau Claire this summer and NEEDED an ice cream shop that could fill my sweets cravings (which I have often). And Olson's has not disappointed one bit! They have a variety of flavors to choose from and even roll out new ones for different seasons (like Caramel Apple Pie for the fall!) My girlfriend and I just tried the brownie sundae thanks to the help of Mary Kate & Kinzie (amazing & friendly staff!) and it was worth every penny. I also love the fact that you can swap the vanilla scoops for 3 scoops of your choice. Just make sure you choose wisely ;) Great for students, families, or just a hungry 29 year old fitness trainer like me. read more

Olson’s Ice Cream - Brownie Sundae! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Eau Claire, Wisconsin

It was really good ice cream!! Downtown Eau Claire has really taken off and offers an opportunity to experience nature while enjoying your ice cream. It's been a few years since I've been back to Eau Claire. This place offered a great selection of flavors, I tried one of the chocolate flavors and also the blue gold cake flavor 10/10 for me. If your in town or just wanting some good ice cream please check this place out. read more

Olson’s Ice Cream - a person holding a cone of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Eau Claire, Wisconsin

Lots of flavors to chose from, I had raspberry lemonade sorbet and match green tea. Daughter had a banana split Only one person working and we got there before the crowd, but everyone was willing to wait their turn even though it was snowing out :D read more

So, I was in town for three nights and I stopped here twice... I stopped here after my dinner at The District and ordered a scoop of Heath Supreme. It was very good. Creamy with a little bit of heath pieces in it. Then I decided to go for one of their "fall flavors" and ordered the Caramel Apple Pie. This one was a cinnamon ice cream with caramel swirled in and a little bit of apple in it. I wish there had been more apple pieces in it but that's not too big of a deal. It also helps that a block away, they have a plaza that looks out on a river. read more

Eau Claire,Wi. I get that a lot of people really like this kind of crap. Not my thing though. Every flavor is a sugar express to a hypoglycemic reaction. If the so called ice cream is not enough sugar, they dump cookies and brownies and other assorted sweetness enhancers. Still not enough sugar? Try adding some syrup!! Basic vanilla had a fair creamy texture, but not like a premium ice cream. No vanilla taste, just sugar. The Mackinac had some kind of fudge cookie in it, lots of sweetness plus. The other flavors were more of the same. When I come to this music festival(Blue Ox),I usually indulge in ice cream every day. Thank you Olsons for making sure once was enough. read more

The lemon poppy seed ice cream was fantastic! They also make their own popcorn. I tried the caramel & cheddar popcorn. They do have a deli as well. However, I believe the shop is only selling waffles, ice cream, & popcorn as of right now. I paid a little over $8 for a waffle cone with a generous scoop of ice cream, & a small bag of popcorn. I thought the price was great for the quality. I will definitely visit again next time I visit Eau Claire. read more

Olson’s Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Eau Claire, Wisconsin

This is a homemade ice cream spot in downtown EC. They had so many menu options, something for everyone. A great way to stay refreshed during the hot summer months. There is a greatly large dining room inside, great for large groups and families too. read more

Olson’s Ice Cream - Chocolate covered cherry - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Eau Claire, Wisconsin

Great selections with dairy free options. Great service and love the building, and fresh made waffle cones.

As popular as this place is, this is not the Olsons you grew up with. The new shop is trendy, but the service is less than stellar. I do not recommend this location in Eau Claire. read more

Very nice local ice cream shop. I get a concoction called Cherry Garden. I describe it as the delightful combination of all the delicious stuff at the bottom of a banana split. Last time they ran out of waffle cones with chocolate and sprinkles. Sprinkles is my favorite flavor. We must endure! Nice young folks work here. Sometimes there is a long line but everyone behaves and it goes quick. I haven't been to Ramones , I feel like that would be disloyal. I recommend Olson's without reservation . read more

Best place downtown to get ice cream! Great atmosphere and seating inside and outside you can walk downtown as well. Service is fast and polite. Plenty of options and sizes as well. You need to go if you haven't yet! read more

The ice cream is creamy and not overly sweet. You can actually taste the individual flavors. Creative and inventive flavor profiles. All wrapped in a bow of smiling faces and affordable cups of ice cream goodness. read more

Wry good ice cream. Nice people and very clean. We stopped in by chance and it was worth checking out is you are near by.

This is the creamy delight I had been waiting for all my life. This gem is hiding right under our picky noses. There was a queue stretching out of the shop when we went there and for good reason. They have many flavors and service is friendly. We tried the strawberry, banana, chocolate, coffee flavors and they were all very good. The ice cream is really creamy and has perfect texture when it melts in my mouth. Also our kids loved it a lot. The seating space is sufficient but best to get a cone and roam around downtown while enjoying the tasty delight. We will come back here often. read more

The ice cream was fantastic and affordable. Whoever the manager/shift manager is, she was super friendly and nice! I'm definitely returning for more! read more

I loved Olsons in Chippewa Falls, but the drive there from Eau Claire was inconvenient since we normally didn't have business over there. Now with Olson's ice cream opening in Eau Claire, we can enjoy them more often. While Ramones has tasty waffle cones, Olson's ice cream creaminess and flavor is superior to Ramones. I use mint chocolate chip as my standard comparison ice cream and Olson's is just as good as Flayvors ice cream back in Amherst, MA. As a result Olson is fated to be a regional juggernaut as they keep expanding their distribution. If you want their half gallon ice cream for the freezer at home, check out either their location or I know festival foods keeps their product in stock too. read more

Walked from home to the New Olson's. Breakfast and lunch are served at this location.There is a coffee bar where Colectivo coffee is served. I had one of the soufflés (listed as gluten free). It was good. Of course, Olson's is noted for its ice cream, and the number of ice creams and ice cream treats available is extensive. read more

Nice ice cream and coffee mixed drinks are so delicious. Good for quick breakfast as well. read more

Olson’s Ice Cream - Atmosphere - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Eau Claire, Wisconsin

New location is not very good. I should have driven to the location in Chipawa falls. I got the butterscotch twist and it was full of ice crystals. I ended up throwing mine away. I will make sure to go to the original location that knows better quality control. My wife's ice cream was fine no ice crystals like it should be. read more

No sugar cones and extremely strict about which ice cream can go into the cone and which goes on top and incapable of figuring out ways to be flexible and nut safe. The ice cream was mediocre. They use styrofoam cups. read more

Favorite ice cream shop for sure. Great pricing compared to Cold Stone and much better flavor selection. Ice cream is thick and creamy just the way it's supposed to be. Service is friendly and the place is clean and spacious. If you are around in the autumn definitely try their caramel apple flavor. read more

Great food; wrap-n-chicken was amazing, it's a must have. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Great location

I have sampled this Ice Cream on and off for years. The flavors that they have can be very good. The base ice cream is not. It is full of additives and fillers. Yuck Ask for the ingredients list if you don't believe me. In the dairy state of Wisconsin, I am amazed that I cannot find some awesome homemade ice cream that is simply good. Some of the stuff that is available should not even be called ice cream. read more

THE ONLY PLACE I can find Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Egg Free ice cream in my area. I can treat myself to homemade ice cream with out having to make it from scratch myself, or traveling over an hour to another city. THANK GOODNESS! read more

Yum! Loved Olson's in Chippewa and love Olson's in Eau Claire! Excited to try more flavors!

So it's UWEC Parents weekend and busy..I get that. After patiently waiting in line for the two servers to help others and run the cash register, it's my turn. I order a large chocolate shake and a dish with two scoops. Rather than making the shake first, she begins to scoop ice cream...apparently runs out, and disappears for at least 5 minutes to fetch another container of ice cream from the back. finally returns and starts to scoop, but drops the scoop on the floor (while the partial scoop has been sitting over 5 minutes). after another scoop is placed in the dish, she bends over and picks the scoop off the floor with the scooper hand. scoops more of my ice cream without washing the same hand! finally gives me the dish, and helps another customer way behind me. over 10 minutes later the other guy finally makes my shake AFTER making a shake for the large gr behind....10-15 minutes later, my two scoops are melted. Hey, at least I was charged $24 for those two and caramel corn. We are locals and visit often. The guy who made my shake after the large group behind me, admonished me for asking where my shake was. We likely won't return. read more

My favorite place to go for simply delicious ice cream. They never cease to amaze me with the new flavors they introduce. My favorite has always been butter pecan, but the caramel apple pie has been in a heated race for first place. Yum yum yum. read more

This is excellent ice cream with bountiful flavor choices served in a charming little restaurant! Welcome to Eau Claire Olson's!

We went here twice while visiting Eau Claire. It is a charming ice cream parlor, the flavor selection is great, the ice cream is really good and the ice cream scoops are huge for the price. We really enjoyed this place. read more
