Stopped in early morning on a Friday. Fresh, squeaky cheese curds for the picking were on display…read moreand I, of course, pick up a bag and started to devour them when I got back into the car. But before the cheese curd endeavor, I had ordered a scoop of ice cream which was darn near the best I've had in a very long time - so good it rivals my ultimate favorite frozen custard. I forgot the exact flavor name of ice cream, but it was a peanut butter chunk chocolate.... Also, this "scoop" of ice cream I requested was not merely a scoop, it was more like a bowl! Also picked up a variety of meat, summer sausage and meat sticks. Never can go wrong here. Highly recommended if you're within an hours drive! Funny thing to add is my work colleague was with me - he did not grow up in Wisconsin and never had fresh cheese curds. I had been talking about squeaky cheese curds before we had been here and he gave me the crazy WTF look when I was trying to describe them. Well, he popped a few into his flapper, and he started to tell me "hey, these squeak when I chew them!". He's then telling me, hey.. squeaky cheese curds... they actually squeak! Laughing his ass off at the same time ..... and amazingly, that bag disappeared very quickly

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 bad: the counterperson was working by themself...running short order food, the espresso machine, the ice cream, the drive through and the counter. Also VERY bad: the to-go cup softened from the hot coffee and collapsed, popping off the lid and scalding the human holding it. Terrible cups. But the counterperson deserves a raise!

She ordered the Bacon bagel and said it was amazing. Some places this item would be dry. She said it had a sauce that made it very tasty. I had the protein wrap. Ham, sausage, cheese. It was awesome. They did not skimp on the ingredients. This place is right off the interstate so you have no reason not to stop and give it a try.

You'd be shocked how affordable it is to get fresh cheese from this farm. Line goes by fast and service is so quick.

No dining area inside but lots of places to sit outdoors including a playground (perfect to bring kids!).

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!!

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.
