24 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 love this Culver’s they are always helpful if you need anything, I don’t even need to eat up
and ask for something because they are there to help you, the food is amazing 100% recommend.

Parking: The parking is wonderful, they have a lot of parking by the back.

Kid-friendliness: They are so sweet with kids.“

“I’ve yet to try something I didn’t absolutely love from ICS. You can taste the love and thought that goes into every scoop. And this business is always donating to important foundations and charitable causes. Highly recommend if you want to feel good and get some amazing treats!“

“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.“

“Very creamy, rich, and good ice cream. Lots of flavors with cool names and reasonable prices. My favorite in the whole world was Mint Chocolate Ribbon which is discontinued. It is SO much better than mint chocolate chip which was still good. Please bring it back!“

“So many choices! We couldn’t decide. Had a Zanzibar shake and took home five pints. CanMt wait to try the Lemon Meringue!“

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

“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.“

“Awesome selection of flavors & fun environment to enjoy your ice cream!“

“Delicious ice cream with an excellent location. Love the lake views and all the parks. Staff is very nice. Also love that it is a local business instead of a chain. You can tell the owner takes pride in his shop.“

“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!“

“Love the Daily Scoop- mostly because it’s Babcock ice cream! So fresh and delicious and fun flavors! The orange custard with chocolate chips is my absolute favorite. About $4 for a scoop and $5.50 for 2 scoops. Not too bad and very generous scoops. Usually plan to wait because every one wants this ice cream! This location is elite because of its proximity to the lake- can’t beat ice cream by the lake!“

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

“I was thrilled to walk into the Fordem location Chocolate Shoppe last night and discover that Key Lime was back on the menu now featuring a new cheesecake twist! I had heard it was discontinued before, so this was a pleasant surprise. The staff were incredibly friendly too. I often arrive just 10 minutes before closing (sorry not sorry lol), and I really appreciate that they understand how spontaneous ice cream outings can be! This location doesn’t have quite the ambience as some of the others, but there are a few outdoor benches, tables/chairs + it’s easy access when it’s really just all about the ice cream! :) they do also have a variety of flavors & dietary options.“

“Came in for a treat on the way home last Thursday, and had the absolute pleasure of being served by Jacob! They have so many interesting flavors, I had no idea what to choose. He helped me out and recommended the Blackberry Lemonbar, it was delicious! Will definitely be coming back for Jacob's kind service.“

“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 going to this Dunkin/baskin location! I get my coffee while my kids get their ice cream! The staff is always so patient while my kids decide what icecream they want and they love the little pink spoon samples! The lobby is always so clean!“

“I've been a long time customer here (15+ years). Besides the beauty of mixing Gelato with espresso (order the Javalatto people), my favorite thing is the environment. I love seeing the long term staff, and the owner, who I've seen throughout my time as a customer. Most of all, I love that they ALWAYS make me happier, especially on days I'm having those rough mornings. I really try to go in on those days I know are gonna be long. Between my delicious caffeine boost, and their warm welcomes, they always start my morning off better. Thank-you to Renee and all of the Java Cat staff for the morning pick me ups.“

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

“This is a Mediterranean restaurant close to the zoo. The outdoor patio is spacious and well-equipped. Iros salad and panini with pesto were both delicious. The panini was especially good with the herb-studded bread. However, the strawberry smoothie was a bit disappointing. I was a little confused about its identity, as it sells African food and plays Cuban music inside, but it seems to make sense when you think of it as a zoo.“

“Good atmosphere, there’s no better place to watch the Vikings lose in the playoffs #OnWisconsin“

“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“

“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. :)“
