Dessert Restaurants in Milwaukee, WI

“Leon's has been on South 27th Street since 1942 and they remodeled in the early 1950s into the neon-lit, walk-up drive-in format that still exists today, meaning the building you're standing in front of has looked more or less like this since before most of your relatives were born. There's no dining room. You walk up to the window, you order, you eat in the parking lot or on the hood of your car, and on a warm Milwaukee evening you are surrounded by a full cross-section of the city doing the exact same thing. It's one of those places that functions as a kind of social institution without anyone having to try.
The custard is made fresh daily with cream and eggs and it shows. The texture is dense and silky in a way that regular ice cream cannot match, which is something food writers have been saying about Leon's for decades and which is still true when you actually eat it. We had the Butter Pecan, which is one of three flavors always on rotation alongside vanilla and chocolate, and it has this nutty sweetness that holds up all the way to the bottom of the cone. The Super Sundae Special is the move if you're not sure what to order: vanilla custard, hot fudge, pecans, and a genuinely generous pile of cherries that they do not scrimp on.
The Hot Fudge Sundae is a separate thing from the Special and equally good, with a fudge that runs thick and warm and doesn't slide off into the cup immediately. We also had a chocolate shake just to see, and it was the kind of chocolate shake that makes you realize you've been settling for lesser versions of the thing for most of your life.“

“I’ve tried everything they have in the same day. lol 😂 Everything is delicious 😋 but the strawberry and the fruity pebbles are my favorite“

“Just 2 junior cheeseburgers to go. On a rainy day. Not skimpy with the smiles at the counter nor the pickles on the burgers. Thank you !“

“It has been about 20 years since I’ve been able to visit Kitts custard the last time that I was here to visit, it was just after my father’s passing and he was the one who introduced my brother and I two kids custard while we were here living in Milwaukee at the time.
As I said it’s been about 20 years my friend and I came to Milwaukee to try kids custard from Kewaunee Wisconsin, which is about 98 miles. I made sure on the website that you were open when we got there your lights and signs said you were open, but your door was locked. We knocked on the door. No one answered. We stayed there for about 5 to 10 minutes. I even tried calling you. No one answered the phone so we had to turn back to go back to Kewaunee unable to revisit the nostalgia of my family coming to see you so unfortunately, three customers had to walk away from your business. This is sad to see hope this gets fixed soon.“

“We are forever grateful for our community partnerships in providing our customers Lavender Lemonade Blueberry Muffins made by: Confectionately Yours by GGG since our OPENING DAY Ceremony Summer of 2022. Professional, clean, great service & always welcoming. 🫡✅“

“Best Gelato and Sorbetto around. Pink Grapefruit is my favorite!“

“I had some marble cupcakes 🧁 and now I can't get enough of them. The cupcakes were moist and delicious. I will no longer miss that marble cake taste because some have stopped making marble cakes. Bougie Berries will always be my favorite premier dessert boutique for delicious snacks!“

“The staff and management is very friendly, accommodating & has helped me correct an error with my recent order in a very professional kind manner - greatly appreciated. They have the freshest cookies out of all the local locations. Highly recommend“

“My all time FAVORITE... I love this place❤❤“

“I came in around 7 o’clock and the employee on duty during the day was leaving after taking care of the customers in front of us. She looked at us rolled her eyes and walked away didn’t even attempt to acknowledge us. Meanwhile the amazing (closing)employee in the back said you’re not even gonna help them ? She goes no my shift is over in the most disrespectful way. Poor closing employee said she’s only been here an hour and her night has been rough. This girl deserves better than that disrespect. She looked sad and nobody deserved that. Dessert was great tho.“
