We went to Cafe Lulu for lunch, and then we hit the hat shop, so to round out a great day of adventuring, we hit Babes Ice Cream for some dessert. I got two scoops of coconut Inna bowl, and Stacy got this crazy waffle bowl dipped in chocolate and topped with whipped cream. I'm not sure which flavor of ice cream she got, but she was happy, so I'm so glad. If you are in the area, I would gladly stop in again, out front They have a few tables to sit at, but I recommend going to the corner and sitting at those tables under the trees. It's a nice shaded area

Parking: Parking is tight in this area of the city, so if you don't see anything available, try one of the side streets, and you'll find a spot within easy walking distance

Small ice cream shop with some hidden gems!

I had a dairy free root beer float which is awesome because they are hard to find.

Store was clean. Most seating is outside so be prepared to walk and eat or stand up inside.

Staff was super friendly.

You’ll find many unique flavor combos at this place you won’t find elsewhere.

Lots of dairy free oat milk choices.

We paid $2 to park across the street.

Service is variable - it’s high cool kids so some can’t speak up or I’ve even had a server that took so long to scoop the icecream melted all over the stainless steel. It’s not a nice shop, it’s the local shop with good icecream. I’ll keep coming till there’s a better option.

Come here all the time with my kids. Staff is always friendly. Except on this last visit, Victor didn’t set my sons junior scoop properly and the first lick he gave it, it dropped on the floor. Instead of being more friendly and understanding. He said it wasn’t his fault and I would have to pay for another. Which I did and I still used the existing cone and charged me the same as a full cone and scoop.

Babes will forever be my favorite ice cream stop in Milwaukee. The flavors never cease to delight and I've never had a bad experience here. We usually get cones to eat there and then a quart to take home. It's a regular ritual for us all season long. (They're fully closed in some of the winter months, which makes me extra dedicated in the summer.) Today I also learned they're pet friendly, they allowed my cat in with me on his leash so I could select my flavors. I was prepared to wait out front and have my boyfriend bring it out to me, but the staff told us we could come in together. A very pleasant surprise!

Parking: Sometimes you can find street parking right in front, but there's a public lot just off the street behind the shop. Depending on the day/time you might need to feed the meters or use the MKE PARK app.

The customer service is pretty good and it’s a cute shop, but the ice cream is horrible. We went here on a whim because purple door was way too busy and was not impressed. They also don’t have staple flavors … cookies and cream/ butter pecan. I got vanilla and didn’t finish which is not normal for me. There were pieces of ice chips in the ice cream. They need to reevaluate their recipe because that was awful. Won’t be back.

I love all the vegan options they offer! This was my first time going with my hubby, we got a vegan mini cake and a vegan brownie sundae and they were both so delicious. The customer service was also amazing, they are so welcoming! We will definitely be back!
