Visiting The Pearl felt like a summertime classic. You can tell there were many regulars along with…read morenewcomers like us coming to The Pearl. The line moves very quickly, so don't worry when you see it. After about a 10-minute wait, we were so excited to see all of the flavors and the old school interior decor. We ended up getting their seasonal special Banana Blondie on a sugar cone, and it was so good! This was truly some of the best ice cream I had ever had, and it really hit the spot. You can tell the ice cream is made fresh, and you can even see them making the waffle cones as you are waiting on line. Plus, the staff here were all so kind and sweet. Definitely come visit The Pearl if you are in the area! It is definitely worth your while.

We stopped in after a long day of exploring to end on a sweet note. The line was long, which gave…read moreus plenty of time to decide (sort of... I immediately regretted not ordering a sundae - why do i do this to myself) We were on our way in & someone was heading out the door we were coming in. The hubs held the door open for the people exiting & one of the gals working yelled "shut that door". He stated he was just waiting for the couple to exit & she didn't respond - perhaps it's habitually open with people in line & she was fed up. Regardless, it wasn't the best way to start an experience, tho not bad enough to abandon ship. I ordered 2 scoops in a waffle cone. Then saw the sundae - sigh... alas, one scoop would have been MORE than enough. I think they scoop with a bucket. It was creamy & metly & delish - but I couldn't finish it. So, the hubs ended up with 3 scoops and 2 cones. I had 1 scoop & 6 mosquito bites... close the door made so much more sense about now! Absolutely loved the old-time-parlor feel, btw.

My kids love the ice cream especially the sundaes! We try to go back as much as we can.read more

Always remember not all people know about Celiac (I had assumed the reg and gf would be packaged separately - my mistake). Fine, I learned. But the person had no right to argue with me.

He picked a vanilla sprinkles cupcake - there was only one left, and he was pretty bummed: it was stale and pretty flavorless. I think we picked wrong on a few things, but the brownie cookie and pumpkin cold brew were delish!

I already summed up the experience for that LaCrosse KT. The 3rd worst location in town…read more I drove by 4 stores that day. The first was probably one I should've stopped at. The second, by the direction I was traveling at the time was too dumpy to consider even slowing down for, the one after that was similarly dismal by exterior appearances. Finally as I was done with my work in town I was heading out, and had to get a road soda and use the facilities. They were dire, at best. Getting an energy drink was the best option since the coffee station was lacking, and it was filthy anyway. An empty store, dirty floors, coffee and the hot foods were unstocked. The lazy clown was busy with social media and having a swearing contest with a trashy woman who was pissing about some injustice she'd been through. I wish I'd have driven a couple miles further and gone to the first store at the northern most end of this town. Today I was back in this area where, for another small electrical troubleshooting job, and I did stop at the nicest KT. Maybe later I'll think to write about its far superior management and perhaps even the ownership is corporate run, because I can't imagine the other three were. They have to be private franchises that have little adherence to their parent company's policies
