Went on a Saturday afternoon, only one employee! But she was amazing! Food tasted great, ice cream was good, decent selection, food options were a bit limited but if you find something you typically like you'll probably like the way they make it!

Very cute place. Great sandwiches for lunch. Good selection of ice cream and desserts. They also have fudge, meat sticks, and cheeses. Our BLT sandwich was great!!

Went in to get some food at 2:10. Unfortunately when we got there we were told they quit serving food at 2. If you’re wanting to come here for food make sure you show up between 11-2. We were disappointed but we still got some yummy ice cream.

★★★★★ 5.0 Hank Zane · Mar 2025

Stopped in here for a coffee and a pick me up and was impressed by everything else, as well Ice cream / soda counter with a ton of options for treats and beverages. Also soups salads and sandwiches, and a Wisconsin theme gift shop. Nice little store, would definitely be a regular here if I lived in the area

After dinner we got desert here. Boyfriend got a Turtle Sunday and I got a Dirt Sunday. Also bought caramels and a T-shirt. Always love Cedar Crest ice cream. Very cute shop. We shop local when ever we can and would recommend this place to anyone going to Rice Lake.
