23 Best Ice Cream Shops near Middleton

“The best ice cream in Madtown and an organization that supports the Alzheimer's Association. Love it!“

“excellent food friendly service!“

“I’ve been to this location twice, during the evening it is quite busy, to the point that it is around a 10 minute wait. The afternoon is more mild. The servers are nice, there are lots of options and the restaurant is very clean. The outdoor area is cute and has connect four and cornhole. Pictured is the banana jello flavor.“

“🍦✨ 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!“

“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 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!“

“THE BEST ICE CREAM YOU'LL EVER EAT! Once you try it, you'll never eat another kind! Sooooo many flavor options to try from (at least 30). They also have some dairy free options as well as Italian ices and sherbet flavors. If you tell them you have an allergy they will get freshly cleaned instruments for you.“

“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.“

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

“Chocolate Shoppe catered some late night ice cream for our wedding, and it was a huge hit! They brought a ton of different flavors that hot all dietary needs. We had quite a few guests who can't have dairy, and they really enjoyed the Italian ice option and appreciated they were included. My favorite flavor is Moose Tracks and they were able to accommodate and bring it. We can't thank Chocolate Shoppe enough for helping make our day perfect and special!“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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 husband, my two boys, and I LOVE this place. The hour drive we take to come to Crumbl Cookies is SO worth it. We've been to two different locations in Madison and they are both absolutely FABULOUS! The customer service has always been outstanding. The staff are so welcoming, patient, and always smiling! My family and I would like to give a special shout out to Ava and the rest of the staff who were working on July 9th, 2025 around 8:30pm. Ya'll killed it! Keep up the good work! Thanks a ton for making this trip worth it!!.“

“This is a local takeout place. Mostly what they have are ice cream cakes, ice cream, and their little Frozen treats. But they do have soda and hot dogs as well. Not bad if you want to grab something to go. They have a lot of dessert options here. And there are some tables to sit outside and eat at.“

“DQ cookies and cream ice cream cakes are the best!!!! I usually don’t like when ice cream cakes have sponge layers that get soggy, which doesn’t pair well with the thick ice cream. But this one is all ice cream, filled with Oreo bits and topped with chocolate glaze.“

“I absolutely love this place! Great selection of ice cream, fun coffee drinks, and delicious food! The owner is super friendly and always going above and beyond to give customers an amazing experience! I have even seen her show pure kindness to the rudest people. Absolutely wonderful place and they will always have my business!“

“We love going to the coffeehouse. It is family owned and they do a tremendous job making everyone feel welcomed. And the food is fresh and delicious!“

“I was having car maintenance work done adjacently to this coffee shop, and while I was waiting came here. The vibes? Immaculate; very autumnal.🍂 The latte? Clearly made with love (the mug it was in☕️ & the foam art🥺). There was a cutie book club meeting going on while I was here as well. A very friendly and welcoming coffee shop. I would 10/10 recommend this place and return.“

“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.“

“Customer service great, food great, mooyah sauce the bomb, shake was amazing, and facility was very clean! I’m giving this place a 10! Thanks Mooyah! Abilene Lication“

“Our server was Iran. As soon as we walked toward the counter, he smiled warmly and greeted us. I’m kind of high maintenance, but Iran was very patient and double checked to make sure my order was correct. Our order came up very quickly, and was perfect. When we were leaving, Iran said “goodbye” and again gave us a genuine smile.“
