Ice Cream Shops near Monroe

“Holy moly! This place is awesome! I don't eat much ice cream but I'm a huge s***** for flavor bursts! I asked the gal if they could do every flavor for a medium cone and what do ya know? They can! I wasn't dead-set on having every flavor but they made sure I got EVERY FLAVOR and it turned into a gigantic tower of soft serve bliss! I'm sure my look of bewilderment made everyone laugh, including the people behind me ? It was monstrous!My boyfriend got the "Nachos" with strawberry and chocolate soft serve which included chips made from waffle cones, whipped cream, and cherries. This was also delicious but I was preoccupied with my own creation.The reason why this place gets 5 stars is because their soft-serve comes in various flavors, it doesn't melt quickly like other places I've been (even in 100°F weather), and the flavors are on-point and don't taste artificial! Other than that, the staff is extremely accommodating and enthusiastic. So glad that we stopped here while passing through! I wish they were closer to DSM!“

“Took a nice drive to Goldie's today and had an excellent lunch. We had the Mingo Special (tenderloin and hot sausage) and a sausage sandwich, with a side of delicious onion rings. Treated ourselves to a pint of chocolate soft seve and a swirl cone. Goldie's is relaxing and the food is great. Good place for visitors to observe Iowans in their natural habitat.“
