Was there last, before winter closing. Hiding treasure.

Upside down banana split is my favorite! Always happy people working inside and fun social people enjoying their evening outside!

Our families favorite spot for ice cream outing! Chalk, bubbles, a big chair for the whole family with a cute little city park and extra parking in the back. We love to go down by the creek after getting our ice cream. For 3 kids and 2 adults we spend around $20, depending on what everyone gets.not over $20 though. Good customer service.

The kids love this place. Lots of tables and outdoor toys in the summer. Stopped today for opening day this year and was so glad they had a new dye free flavor(can't remember the name of it though).

The Milkshake spot is bomb and we will be returning customers for life! The atmosphere is hip and inviting! The owners are awesome, friendly, down to earth people. On the last day of business for the season, they literally gave ice cream away all day, where else can you find people like that?! Our community is beyond lucky to have them!

The customer service is superb. They offer dairy free options- which is amazing! My husband got a rock'n'rye ice cream float, and he loved it.

Unbelievable ice cream, including really nice hard scoop flavors and “iconic” specialty shake flavors! Service is top notch and such a nice spot outdoors to sit and enjoy a treat.

I absolutely love stopping here for a sweet treat to end my day. The staff is amazing and the yard is a beautiful sit spot. My favorite flavors are honey lavender and Cookie Monster!!

Of all the ice cream shops that have existed at this location, the Milkshake Spot has the right stuff to survive and thrive for years to come. My dog just might like the ice cream more than my daughter! The fun activities and the variety of seating options make the ice cream shop a real destination spot. The business is seasonal, with limited afternoon and evening hours, no indoor dining options. There is a city park next door with parking, public restrooms, a creek, picnic shelter and art installations.

Parking: There are about 6-8 spots (handicap) and standard next to building (north side), along with a city parking lot below the building (east), and easy street parking for trucks and trailers.

Kid-friendliness: Ice cream, tables, pet friendly, and big games and patio swings. Need I say more!

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking in business lot north of building has handicap spots for a wheelchair accessible person. The ordering window has no barriers and is high enough to allow close chair placement and low enough to reach items and payment device. The seating area has an outdoor shag carpet (grasslike) which could present some challenges for wheelchair but the margins are free of barrier.

The first couple times I went there, it was wonderful. I always bring new people there.
But last week, we went and it was bad.
I like the red, white and blue.
There was no cheesecake, no sprinkles, just mostly whipped cream. Not sure if I will bring friends there anymore.
