9 Best Ice Cream Shops near Cross Plains

“What an awesome little place! Me and my friends got three of the apple cider doughnut shakes, and they were just amazing! We got three full apple cider donuts, stacked on top of an amazing apple cider, vanilla, ice cream, shake! Super rich, fruity, and just overall delicious. All of the other ice creams are from the chocolate shop here in Madison, they have specialty shakes that are changed every month, and regular shakes, and they are all incredible! There's also all sorts of candies, and products from other small businesses, which is really cool. A little on the pricey side, but overall, I highly recommend!“

“It's Culver's, you know what you're coming here for. My personal favorite items are the bacon cheese burgers and the buffalo chicken strips.What really sets this place apart is the people who staff it and the owners who so clearly care about their community presence. All the staff, from the teens first starting out to the part timers just getting out of the house, they are always in a good mood and it makes the whole place better for it.“

“What a beautiful place! Great atmosphere with lovely music and the food was excellent! I had the avocado tomato grilled cheese with chicken noodle soup. Yum! And we tried the truffle fries, delish as well. They have a huge variety of beverages including tons of teas. While waiting for food we browsed the store filled with quality locally made items. I love seeing unique places like this in our small communities.“

“Nice place for kids and treats. Strictly an ice cream and dessert place, which has plenty of selections. Small selection of warm foods. No seating for 3 people besides a short short table and chairs for kids that seats 6 -10 kids. We (7 of us) actually didn’t mind the small sturdy kids chairs. The kids played with some games they have.“

“Got the Large French fries, they're one of my faves.I really like the way they prepare them, with a golden brown outside, and fluffy potatoes inside.Not filled with grease making them oily.The tender inside really goes well with the ketchup on the side.This helps to cut the grease and makes it more readily digested and absorbed by your body.Topping it all off was a luscious dish of 2 scoops of Culver's famous custard. Luscious and creamy, it cools you off on a hot summer afternoon, and slides down easy.I got Chocolate and vanilla for a flavor variety.Vegetarian options: The french fries are vegan because the potatoes are fried in vegetable oil, not lard.Parking: 30-40 free parking spaces, allowing easy access.Kid-friendliness: There were many kids with family, and teens seem to congregate here on their time off from school or jobs.Wheelchair accessibility: Disabled parking right by front entry.“

“This new location has it all!! Shave ice, Chocolate Shoppe ice cream (one vegan oat flavor plus Italian ice), sodas, hot food, coffee bar serving Collectivo coffee and the oatmilk latte was DELICIOUS. Thick and rich. My kiddo loves the shave ice. Super fun and something for everyone.Vegetarian options: Wish there was more food labeled vegan, but the frozen treats and drinks are here.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free waffles and several baked goods, though none vegan as labeled.“

“It can take a while for them to get food to you but it's good food! I love how everyone knows everyone in small town. HOWEVER, never order fudge or strawberries or anything like it on your custard. You ask for double the toppings and pay 12.00 for it and you get the same as you would if u didn't get double the toppings! Very skimpy on toppings.“

“The store is beautiful, fun, and clean. The variety of candy is amazing. There were so many candies that I have never seen. The prices were reasonable. The manager was working and was so delightful. We had a wonderful conversation. She has wonderful event ideas. I highly suggest a visit. The gelato and candies are a special treat. I appreciated the sorbet without dairy. This surely is a gem!“

“This dairy queen is a family owned and operated Dairy Queen which I support small businesses and especially family around businesses. Fast service, great people I can't complain about anything about this place it was clean. It was just a great experience. The reason why it was a great experience, because while I was standing in line waiting for this peanut cluster blizzard, I thought of my childhood every day summer my dad had off because he was a teacher. One day a week during the summer my dad and I would stop at Dairy Queen and get a blizzard or an ice cream cone, back then when you got a blizzard, they would flip the blizzard up in the air and make all these funny tricks with the blazer to show that it would not spill out of the cup. So while I was waiting in line for this blizzard, I was wondering if this guy was going to do that And as I was going to pick up the blizzard he flipped it up in the air and it did not fall out. Memories also can make a restaurant amazing plus like I said it's family owned and I can't complain the blizzard. It was good. The service is great place is clean go check it out. Tell them I said hi.“
