I show up Saturday 5:40pm. Supposed to be open til 9pm. Find the note in the picture on the locked door. Sit in the car and wait a few minutes. I’m frustrated but also starting to think that no one is even in there. So I wait a long time. No one ever appears inside. Seems like whoever was supposed to be working snuck out 3.5 hours early. Open signs still brightly lit in the windows. Disappointing.

The Spot is a traditional ice cream store that sells premium ice cream. The staff told me there are 50 flavors to choose from including some Italian ice flavors. The flavor choices are vast with some having whimsical names. The ice cream is super smooth and fresh. Kids love trying the exotic flavors. There is a lable for each ice cream that provides a description of the flavor. The staff is welcoming and friendly. They have those little sample spoons so you can try a flavor before you buy it. They sell regular cones, waffle cones, shakes, sundaes and will pack a pint of your favorite flavor. There are a few chairs in front of the store if you want to eat on site. Give The Spot a try.. ice cream at its best 🍧🍦👍

My absolute FAVORITE cream shop that is also locally-owned and family-operated! Sibling duo Stephanie and Alex are always on-hand, overseeing operations and passing on A++ customer service. This is a seasonal shop and I count the days between when they close in October and open in the spring with a weather-driven open date. You can’t go wrong with generous portions of Wisconsin’s Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream in a plethora of flavors (over 60!). They even let you have samples to help you make up your mind! My tip to you… Don’t sample more than three and then choose one! Choose a different three each time you stop in! You’re sure to find many favorites :-) Say hi when you see me there weekly during warmer weather!

Great ice cream and a wide selection of options. Staff was very patient with my kids as they made their selections. Will definitely be back in the near future to try the other flavors
