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 went the on 2sept 2025 while on vacation there at about 5:30 pm. The employee behind the counter was very respectful and Pleasant. He treated me with the upmost respect and made me feel like I was an important part of his day. This experience is not common in a lot of places. I would definitely be visiting that cold stone creamery again on my next visit to Middleton.“

“🍦✨ 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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“It was my first time stopping by this Crumbl shop, and everything was so delicious. The display looked incredibly clean and beautiful — I’ve never seen such a stunning presentation anywhere else. Even the cookie cut was just wow! The entire staff was very polite, and everything was spotless. Just wow. I already know I’ll be coming back again and again🤤.“

“This place is ALWAYS busy when we go. We sit outside, even in January (in the car) to eat before we drive away. They are never without a customer for more than a few minutes. Line out the door sometimes. Hopefully people take notice of how ridiculously kind the workers here are. Super nice family atmosphere. We will
always return.“

“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.“

“Great ice cream, but a little questionable pricing structure. Why is the second scoop a third of the price of the first? And the third scoop another price? Not sure the consumables add up to the price offset on a single scoop 😅

(Also might want to rotate the gumballs ... The ones facing the sun have faded 🫣)“

“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“

“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!“

“Quiet little coffee shop right by West Town Mall. I had a croissant (made by Madison Sourdough) and a London Fog. Both were delicious! The staff members are all very warm and welcoming, and helped answer all my questions. The environment is ok. There are plenty of tables and free wifi so it's convenient to post up with a drink and get some work done. However, when I was here it was chilly (my guess would be around 60), and I had goosebumps under my sweater. This is totally personal preference, but I certainly like my cozy coffee shops to be a bit warmer. The furniture is well worn, but everything is useable and clean. I will most likely be making more trips back, but I'm not going to break my back rushing to do so.“

“We love ZuZu! Feels like our second home.“

“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.“
