The ice cream is delicious, and you can even get a hand-mixed soda which is such a fun throwback. The staff's friendly, the atmosphere is warm, and it's the kind of place that makes you want to linger. Ellie's is a sweet little gem in Amery, worth a stop.

Asked me what flavor ice cream I want and poured 2 shots of espresso and served. This is the worst presentation I seen so far. Ice cream (cedar crest) wasn't even creamy (not much butter fat) to make up for the bad presentation.

Whenever I stop in Amery, I am sure to visit the Chet Johnson Drug store to browse around. This place is always top notch clean and has the kindest employees on staff. Connected at the very back near the pharmacy, you will bump into Ellie's Ice Cream and Coffee. Just follow the scent of waffle cones! In a small town, I find it so important to support multiple businesses so do enjoy a 2-for-1 deal!

We walked in and only one table was available so we were able to sit right away. The restaurant was buzzing with everyone enjoying breakfast or brunch. We had several servers taking orders, delivering food and topping off coffee. Everyone was very pleasant and attentive. I ordered the Eggs Benedict- One English muffin split, two eggs over-medium, Canadian bacon, and topped with Hollandaise sauce -$13.50. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was light and lemony. Delicious. My husband ordered the Hashbrown Mess with Toast - The Hashbrown Mess (hash browns covered in Maddie's sausage gravy, topped with 2 over-medium eggs) with your choice of wheat, sourdough, Texas, or Marble Rye toast $14.25. He said it was very good. If you are looking for a quaint brunch spot with delicious food and great service, give Irmas's a chance.

In the summer months, make sure you check out the exterior patio space which includes luscious green grass, yard games, a gazebo, fire pit, large benches, adirondack chairs and more.

We were fortunate enough to spend my grandpa's 103rd birthday here and enjoyed the atmosphere, friendly patrons and staff members. I'd like to thank the staff for allowing us to place our own tablecloth down and be so open to us serving cake to those near us. What a lovely evening we had! Note: check out the website for specialty classes such as yoga, art, and music. Some are located in the upstairs loft area while others, such as music, are outdoors. You could also use this as a small wedding venue!

"It's Got a Good Beat and You Can Dance to It" (Dick Clark)…read more Well...I suppose Dick's is a catchier name than Richard's Fresh Market. It is impossible to not make immature jokes about the store name, but I assure you that this store is rated G for groceries! Located along the Apple River, Amery is a small vacation town with limited options for provisions. Kwik Trip Gas Station or Walmart in nearby St. Croix Falls are the other options, so it's Dick's for me as the usual pitstop on the way to my family's lake home. The prices are quite high, so I stock up my coolers at home, and then just get odds and ends here. The one very important item a person MUST purchase is their gourmet popcorn over by the Caribou Coffee Kiosk. It explodes with flavor! On the way to the popcorn and coffee, you'll also find a respectable beer and liquor section worth its salt for thirsty fisherman. Lastly, Dick's caries a variety of foods to cover those on gluten-free diets, which is appreciated by some of my family members. Aside from the high prices, this is a solid stop for all your vacation home staples. Dick Clark gives it an 85...I'd probably give it a 70. But don't take my word for it! Several Dicks and Richards also wanted to share their thoughts: Dick Van Dyke: This store is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Richard Nixon: I've never tried to sneak items into the bags without paying at the self checkout. "I'm not a crook!" Richard III of England: I'm not sure how Richard the First of Fresh Market is related to me, but lock him up in the tower! Richard Marx: I've been Right Here Waiting at the checkout for a long time, but I still think this store is A-Ok. And that's Straight From My Heart.
