    It has amazing ice cream has a train, classic vibes and has so much flavor to choose from five stars

    Pretty solid, in a very pretty part of Sheboygan. Good ambiance as well. Ngl my parents picked some kind of mid flavors so that might be part of it, but also the service was iffy they were being kind of mean :( and ran out of napkins, bathroom had p and hair on the toilet seat broooo but the pistachio almond ice cream was solid imo

    Perfect spot for sundaes, fudge, and coffees. Seating indoors and outdoors but inside is spacious and smells like freshly made waffle cones. It's along the riverfront so the patio seating comes with a view. Only issue with sitting outside to enjoy your sweets on a sunny August afternoon is that the yellow jackets will find your ice cream and bother everyone; we ended up moving inside. Ice cream flavors are plenty and so are the Italian soda flavors. It's also affordable and has a lot of cool decor that will keep kids entertained with an "I-spy" game. Servers were friendly. Easy street parking.

    Amazing ice cream, service is a delight, setting is picturesque, and inside brings you back. Highly recommend making this a stop and enjoying your treat on the patio by the water.

    First discovered this ice cream parlor while staying next door at the Blue Harbor Resort. This parlor has an old school ice cream shop feel when you walk in, which makes the entire experience more fun. Delicious flavors, toppings and waffle cones as well. Take your ice cream on a stroll around the resort, right next to the water.

    While in town I wanted to stop for a cold treat because I don't do that as much as I should so I jumped on Yelp and this place looked like a winner. It's in an area next to Lake Michigan that is completely a leisure destination area to spend some time out doors with a resort, restaurant and ice creme shop along with the nice out door areas to recreate. The place is pretty nice looking for an ice cream shop and clearly designs to look like an old school shop with all the wood, tile floors, back bar and tin ceilings. This is just a nice place to for people of all ages to get a sweet treat with a nice view. I don't have a sweet tooth so I'm going to get something that I have never had before, a chocolate dipped waffle cone with chocolate peanut butter swirl ice creme sounded good, I'm going to force a sweet tooth on me today. Wow I was amazed at how good this combination is and on a hot humid day it hit the spot. I'm thinking that one scoup on top would be it, nope it was all ice cream down the cone except the last tiny 1-1/2 inch of the bottom point. This was a really cool place to stop for a sweet treat and I can see why it had a decent amount of people from all ages enjoying the place.

    Triple scoop with Black Cherry, Mackinac Island Fudge, and Blueberry Waffle Cone flavors.

    I've been coming to Sheboygan for years, but have only just recently made my way over to South Pier parlor- and now I've been there more times than I'd care to admit! It's super good, affordable, and has a great view of the river. Plus now that it's summer, it's open even later. The interior is really cute, and has that old school classic soda shop look to it. There's tons of kitsch and a cute little train that drives around near the ceiling. It's a super cozy looking place- I definitely recommend eating in if you have the time! They have a really wide menu. They, of course, have ice creams and sundaes, but they also make smoothies, phosphates, sodas, and things like that. They also offer sodas and a few classic candies, and have fudge available by the pound. Ice cream is for sale in scoops, by the pint, or a quart. They also have premade ice cream sandwiches available in a freezer. Personally, I think the prices are completely reasonable. I think I paid $5.50(ish) for a triple scoop. At the ice cream shop closest to my house (in Illinois) it's 4.50 for ONE scoop. So for me, this is a very, very pleasant treat for both my sweet tooth and my wallet. While I'm still trying every flavor, I have yet to have one I didn't like! I'd most recommend Pirate's Bounty (caramel ice cream with M&M's and Oreo pieces), Birthday Cake, and Watermelon Sherbet. The latter is SUPER refreshing on a hot summer day! This is a great little place that I'm sorry I overlooked for so long. I have been there repeated times since, and will continue to go there for the remainder of my summer vacation in Sheboygan! It's the best place in town for ice cream, hands down.

    The Greenhouse has long been on my list to visit. This adorable shop is located in the courtyard…read morearea of The American Club in Kohler. When entering, the shop is straight past the stairs and then the second right turn. Their menu has a variety of coffee and tea drinks, smoothies, protein shakes, hot chocolate, baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, ice cream, and more! The inside is beautifully designed and leans into the greenhouse aesthetic; it's whimsical and a true escape. I ended up ordering the Sweet Cardamom Latte along with the Blueberry Rosewater Scone. The scone may have been the best I've had! It was fresh and you could taste the rosewater and blueberries balance each other out. The Sweet Cardamom Latte had subtle flavor but they make their syrups in house as well as source local honey to flavor drinks. My husband got the Chai Tea Latte which had a subtle, sweet flavor. He also tried the ham, smoked gouda, and egg sandwich. They offered a chipotle mayo sauce to go with this which I highly recommend. This was a bit of a splurge but was so worth it!

    We were spending the weekend at the American Club and were thrilled to learn that they have this…read morewonderful little shop in the main courtyard. Like the rest of the American Club, it's a gem. We stopped in a couple of times and had the chance to try a variety of items. Food: They have an excellent assortment of beverages and pastries. Over our two visits, we tried a coffee latte, gourmet hot chocolate, London Fog Tea Latte, and a coffee. The baristas do a very nice job with the hot beverages. You can watch them being made, and it's clear they pay attention to the small details. A great example was the whipped cream on the hot chocolate, piled high in the center of the cup without touching or spilling over the sides. The food was a bit of a mixed bag. On our first visit, we ordered a Blueberry Rosewater scone that looked amazing in the case. It was nicely baked, topped with turbinado sugar, and had plenty of blueberries. The texture, however, was more muffin-like than scone-like. There was also a noticeable baking soda taste, which we both picked up on. I later mentioned this to the manager, who was apologetic. On our second visit, we shared an Espresso Hazelnut Cruffin. This is essentially a croissant baked in a muffin tin and filled with flavored cream. That one was outstanding. The dough was flaky yet moist, and the filling was generous and fresh. We cut it open, spread the filling across the pieces, and ate it almost like buttered bread. Truly delicious. Service: All of the staff were friendly and pleasant. Even when they were busy, it never felt rushed. They didn't initially ask if we wanted our beverages in mugs, but they were happy to accommodate when we asked. They also offered to heat up the scone, which was appreciated. Atmosphere: It's a small space with about a dozen small tables, best suited for groups of two, though there are a couple of tables that can seat four. The stained glass windows are lovely, letting in plenty of natural light and providing a beautiful view of the courtyard. It can get a little loud inside, but we were still able to have a relaxed conversation. A charming spot that fits perfectly into the American Club experience.

I've had Kohler Chocolates before and have always been impressed. Since we were staying at the American Club for the weekend, stopping by the chocolate shop was a must. As part of the stay, you receive a small box of Terrapins as a welcome gift and then a couple of square truffles with the nightly turn-down service, which only made us more excited to visit the store. We went on a Sunday morning while they were just putting out their selections in the display case. It isn't a huge assortment, but everything they offer is beautifully crafted and clearly made with care. I was especially surprised and impressed when we asked if it was possible to sample something and they offered us an entire truffle rather than just a small piece. That was incredibly generous. You can purchase pre-boxed assortments, but if you want a custom selection, you can choose any combination you like and they will box it up for you. They offer gift boxes for four or nine pieces, which are perfect sizes for sharing or giving as gifts. We will definitely enjoy these chocolates ourselves and share them with some of our favorite people.
