22 Best Ice Cream Shops near Mcfarland

“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.“

“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.“

“🍦✨ Major obsession alert! ✨🍦 Ice Cream Social totally stole my heart 💕 Smelled like waffle heaven + tasted even better 😍 My new go-to for ice cream in Madison!“

“Staff was really kind and attentive to all the customers and I loved seeing them have genuine conversations with customers.
The hot apple cider was also really hot so it kept me warm in the negative degree weather. The apple cider does taste like every single other apple cider and doesn't taste unique and not to mention it being 7 bucks. I guess the price was worth the work the staff put in though.
Would definitely recommend!“

“Great & tasty ice cream No handicap parking or easy access But still worth it, just took it slow & easy to get up the stairs with my Mom.“

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

“So excited to have found this place at an event in Raleigh and I found out they are in Knightdale station park every weekend! Creative names like Kitty Kitty bang bang which is what I tried it’s cheesecake ice cream with raspberry swirl and chocolate chunks so delicious! True creamy texture that you’d expect from Wisconsin. Really friendly and helpful just can’t say enough good things. My brother tried the exhausted parent(?name) which was bourbon espresso ice cream with chocolate. He loved it. Can’t wait to go see them in Knightdale!“

“Chocolate Shoppe catered our wedding dessert and they were completely perfect! They bring a truck with about ten flavors including 1-2 DF flavors, and scoop into dishes or cones. The guests loved it on a hot, summer day, and it felt a lot more memorable than cake. They were super easy to work with in booking the event and the employee who worked our event was so kind. It was a huge hit and the ice cream was, of course, delicious! We would definitely book them again for a large event and would recommend them to friends.“

“I think this is the best location out of all of them. It's huge! Plenty of places to sit comfortably with your family and enjoy a sweet treat. They make some of the very best ice cream I've ever had in Madison. And they have dairy free options for people with allergies. I love everything about this company.“

“Great upscale candy shop with a great selection and fair prices! One of the best caramel apples I’ve ever had!“

“Conveniently located near the terrace with lots of indoor and outdoor seating options, this is a great stop for a sweet treat. Got the famous orange chocolate chip — and the chocolate chips were really good and the orange ice cream was nice creamy texture but had an artificial orange flavor. I would get the other flavors next time.“

“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!“

“Very convenient for campus meetings. Rooms are modern and clean....walls z bit thing (or neighbours were noisy). Amenities on the main floor are lots of campus food...even a pub. Bed was comfy. Would likely stay here again if the opportunity arises.“

“I love this cute little shop! The Breakfast Burrito was soooo good and the Oreo Dream homemade ice cream in a waffle cone was scrumptious 😋 The staff was friendly, engaging and the music was fun! I will definitely be back!“

“Have tried several of the flavors and they are all amazing! Friendly staff and wonderful environment! Indoor and outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. My favorite so far is the Cherry Pie a la Mode. I can't wait to try the milkshakes and floats on future visits!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Great friendly staff, very good coffee.“

“Zuzus has incredible food as far as I can tell. The food here is surprisingly delicious, and has like complex flavors and creative recipes with fresh ingredients. It's not expensive, the portion sizes aren't insane, and it's usually light, tastes good, fresh, and right next to the zoo. I would say this is one of my most favorite restaurants that I've visited so far in Madison, as someone who doesn't go to sit-down restaurants a lot. The cooks here are really good, and I think that has to do with the size of the menu. The quality you get here is like, more value for your buck than most of the casual food places I've been in this city. I recommend this place. The atmosphere outside is okay, considering its right next to an intersection, it can be variable. It looks alright inside. The service is alright.“

“Great Culver’s! James at the register is amazing! Keep that team member for life!“

“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.“

“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.?????“
