17 Best Ice Cream Shops near Cottage Grove

“Great ice cream, nice quiet location with indoor and outdoor seating. Good selection of ice cream and cone or dish choices and friendly staff. Loved this location to enjoy outside for a quick ice cream. We got mint chocolate chip and sherbet. Both were excellent.“

“One name, Gary. Gary was the gentleman that took my order and the counter along with about 5 other customers during my duration of waiting for my food. Gary was the nicest person I have ever encountered while ordering food. Gary went above and beyond with each customer including myself to make each transaction personable. It was a Thursday evening and fairly busy inside and out. Gary greeted each customer with a friendly face and would take it upon himself to take something off someone’s shirt or something they were wearing to start up a conversation. One particular customer was an elderly woman and her middle age son who was mentally challenged. She approached the counter alone but Gary asked for her son to come up too and to not be afraid that he wouldn’t hurt him. Carried on a conversation with him and his mother asking his name and just being in the moment with him while they placed their order that evening. You don’t see people like Gary often enough anymore in the world and it really touched my heart on how he interacted with every person that came to his register as of each person was special in their own way. I’m not one to come inside and order and wait for my food or to take time to do surveys, but this interaction is one I will not forget. We need more people like Gary. I tried doing this on the Survey but it limited me on Characters I could use. Hope this doesn’t fall on deaf ears. Thank you“

“Delicious pistachio ice cream, tamarind smoothies, and friendly service :)“

“I put in an online pick up order and at the time I went to pick it up a rather large influx of people walked in, and my order wasn’t ready, cool cool, so I patiently waited. I finally received an order, it wasn’t mine, but I enjoyed a dirt cake shake and root beer float. My original order was a chocolate shake. Thanks for putting me onto the dirt cake shake!“

“My FAVORITE ice cream! Love supporting local businesses in Madison so usually pick some up at Ian’s Pizza!! Their Brandy Old Fashioned Ice cream is a MUST!!“

“We got crumbl cookies for our wedding and they were delicious!!! We’re so happy we went with crumbl overall! Their communication trying to set up the order with the catering team at this location was a little stressful due to miscommunication, though.“

“I’ve been a regular since the cafe first opened. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. I love that it is an important part of McFarland history. Such a great place to meet a friend. Very surprised at the negative reviews. Please support this local restaurant owned by a McFarland’s family.“

“Great friendly staff, very good coffee.“

“Delicious! The staff was extremely helpful and fast on getting our order done correctly. The well d'onion burger, 2 bacon cheeseburgers and a paleo burger, plus a chocolate shake and everything was delicious. We love the fresh buns, it makes them that extra bit special from other places. The place was busy and the bathrooms were clean. I'll be back here again.“

“For fast food the burgers were very good the fries were also very good. The quality of the food was outstanding for fast food. The price was also very good. This isn't anything gourmet but definitely worth the price. Hands down better than other fast food competitors. I really liked that there was malt vinegar available as a condiment for the fries. The menu is relatively simply which shows they are focused on doing what they do well. For what is an typical fast food hamburger joint everything ran smooth and was pleasant. If you are looking for a really good fast burger and fresh cut fries that were frozen and don't want to pay 30 plus dollars at five guys this is the place to go. I would say the food stacks up better than five guys at about half the price.“

“We stopped at this Madison WI Culvers on our way to Rockford today and our 16mo made friends walking around the restaurant after we ate. The manager was so nice to her, gave her 2 stuffies and meal cards for our next stop through! Thanks, Ana! We'll see you again in a few weeks. :)“

“I have dealt with the Chocolate Shoppe manufacturing plant several times in the last 10 years. I have purchased pint-size cases and 3 gallon tubs for parties and get togethers , not to mention ~ naughty ? personal indulgences. The employees have always been professional and sweet. - On the down side- The prices are a little high, BUT as always, you pay for quality... & I would say their quality is excellent ! Also~ it bumms me out that they have removed several of their pint-sized flavors..? OVER ALL : 90% ~ + RATING. So more like 4&1/2 stars.?????“

“Parking: Lots of spots but they keep pretty busy.

Kid-friendliness: There's nice tables to eat ice cream outside and plenty of space on the inside

Wheelchair accessibility: Should be able to roll right on in for a burger and fries and Frozen Custard too.“

“I had such a great experience at Culver’s this morning thanks to Alex. He brought my food out and then went the extra mile by double-checking whether I had barbecue sauce for my chicken tenders because he remembered he didn’t see anyone put it in the bag. He went back inside, grabbed the sauce, and brought it back out to me — all on a cold day. Alex is a very kind young gentleman and a wonderful worker. His attentiveness and care really stood out, and I wanted to make sure his hard work didn’t go unnoticed.“

“Great Culver’s
Located near a lot of major businesses on the northeast side of Sun prairie
Employees are friendly.
Interior of the restaurant is clean

The butterburger and frozen custard I ordered was also very good in quantity,taste,and temperature.

Also to mention I have never seen a Culver’s until now with TV pricing/images instead of Paper, cool addition but also was confusing at first.“

“Terrific frozen custard spot conveniently located right on the C bus line. The service is always fast and friendly, and the food comes out quickly whether you order at the counter or use one of the kiosks. They offer a wide range of rotating custard flavors, so there’s usually something new to try, and the food is solid too—great for a quick bite or casual stop-in. It’s a little on the pricey side, but the recent renovation makes the space feel much nicer and more comfortable. Definitely a reliable go-to for frozen custard lovers.“

“Culver's. We enjoy it. It's fast. More clean than a fast food place... Even though it's technically fast food as well. This place was generally the same.

Temp was set a bit cool for mid May. But if that's our biggest beef, they did a pretty good job“
