8 Best Ice Cream Shops in Fond Du Lac

“Take the county road where the cornrows roll,
where the green hills lean and soothe the soul.
There, tucked in the country, quiet and dreamy,
sits the sweet little treat called Kelley Country Creamery.

Since eighteen sixty-one, through work and weather,
the Kelley family has farmed this ground together.
Through sweat and sun, through storm and snow,
they planted their roots and watched them grow.

Fresh from the farm, from pasture to pail,
comes a taste of Wisconsin that never grows stale.
Churned with care, with a homemade flare,
there is farm-fresh flavor floating everywhere.

Step to the window and watch the show,
see cream become a dreamy frozen flow.
Then scoop by scoop, let your worries drop,
because choosing one flavor is the hardest stop.

Chocolate and cherry, caramel swirl,
cones for the boys and bowls for the girls.
Over twenty flavors may tempt you that day,
with hundreds more waiting to wander your way.

Grab a cone and claim the porch,
let the evening sun become your torch.
Watch cows in the pasture, clouds drifting slow,
while a warm Wisconsin wind whispers below.

There are sheep and goats, pigs and hens,
donkeys and ducks and four-legged friends.
Green pasture practices, family and farm,
all folded together with country-bred charm.

When sunflowers rise beneath summer skies,
golden heads gather while butterflies fly.
A bright field of yellow, a beautiful scene,
with a cold cone melting where the warm winds lean.

They call it the best in the middle of nowhere,
but nowhere feels mighty fine from that old porch chair.
Good Morning America gave it national acclaim,
but Wisconsin already knew the Kelley name.

So slow down, chow down, take in the view,
try one old favorite, then sample something new.
Here heritage and cream meet sweetly together,
a farm-grown treat in fine Wisconsin weather.

Thank you, Kelley family, for tending the ground,
for keeping good cows and good cream around.
For preserving the farm while perfecting the scoop,
and serving pure joy to each sweet-toothed troop.

Peace. Piece. Peas.
Papa and Pipe, cones out,
over and out.“

“We love Crumbl and usually enjoy their cookies but today 2 of our 6 were way unbaked. One was so unbaked that I need a spatula to pick up because it was sticking to the box and breaking. We’ve had underbaked before but today was the worst and with the toppings they can even be baked longer.“

“My favorite Culver’s“

“Great nostalgic atmosphere with super friendly wait staff. Outdoor seating area is like eating in a park with big shady trees and picnic tables, even small kids' tables. We brought the dog and ordered a cheeseburger for her. The staff knew it was for the dog so they made it with no bun inside a container so she could eat out of it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“

“I went through the drive thru Sunday with my husband, youngest and grand pup. My daughters name is Ella. The lady working the windows name was Bella. She was so nice and my daughter can't stop talking about how she has the same name as her friend and her name is almost just like hers. The other people were so nice as well. Keep up the amazing work your doing. I've never been let down there except when they forgot something but they made it right, right away. Yall deserve a raise!“

“love the place of the food the employees are verry nice to me id love to work there someday in the dinning room“

“I may be a little biased because I worked at this DQ back in the late 2000s, but this is the best DQ I've eaten at. My wife and I even ordered our wedding cake from here back in 2018. We got a heart-shaped cake decorated beautifully for the main wedding cake, with individually decorated pieces of sheet cake for the rest. It was a huge hit (except for the lactose intolerant MoH... Sorry, Amanda. ?)Overall, it was a great experience. We still go here to eat around once per month, mostly getting the chicken strip meals. The Texas toast is good enough that I will occasionally order an extra piece of toast with my chicken.“

“I came In early in the morning, and the man working was very sweet! He was very friendly and definitely improved my overall experience. I’ll come for him!“
