Great service, delicious sandwiches and salad (great alternative for gluten-free or you can ask for the GF sliced bread) - the bread was warm - so good! We enjoyed our meal outside overlooking the lake. We shared an ice cream sundae after redeeming our free sundae from our punch card - yum! read more

Food is extremely good as usual and the price is reasonable. Staff is also very friendly. Favorite sub is the garlic turkey which is their special. Otherwise I would normally go for their blackberry Turkey sub. I liked their oatmeal cookie dough ice cream too. Restaurant is well kept and clean. It's right by the lake so it is nice to sit and eat outside read more

We did takeout at this restaurant. We ordered and paid online. It was easy to add or remove things from your sandwiches. Very easy process. Went inside and grabbed our bag upon arriving. Sandwiches were delicious. I'm not a sandwich gal. Hate Mayo (I know, I'm weird). I split the Sicilian with Husband and it was fantastic. Lots of meat. A nice Italian sauce. Oh, and the bread, crusty, fresh...yummy. The bread makes the sandwich. Great stop. read more

Delicious ice cream, tried a double scoop of both types of chocolates. They are sold by weight (unusual concept. But a good one!), prompt service. Spic store. Recommended read more

This is usually my favorite sub place, but not today. I was looking to have a hot beef with peppers and onions to simulate Illy cheesesteak, but this didn't work at all. The onions were raw and not grilled. Perhaps I needed to ask if they could do such a thing, I do like the toppings you can put on yourself like olives, giardinera, pickles for those who like those things. Having had Dortoni ice cream, this just tasted like ice cream with maraschino cherries. read more

Amazing turkey sub with blueberry jam and chili. Definitely recommend. Very friendly people

i was on the way to madison and decided to stop here for a quick sweet treat. i had their buffalo chicken sub first and it was okay. pretty bland but the buffalo sauce was tasty. then, got in line for some ice cream and i landed on the coconut almond bliss, which is a coconut based ice cream (or added coconut flavoring) with almonds and chocolate chunks. this was exactly what i was looking for and it was so tasty. they have a ton of flavors with different combinations, but this was the simplest one that i Loved read more

Everyone here is so nice! Their service was great. The food is also pretty nice, I had the vegetarian croissant sandwich, and it was filling without being too much. I like their "special mayonnaise" and the croissant bun was really nice. The restaurant itself also has a very welcoming vibe, the color palette used and other decor elements are a tiny bit vintage while still remaining fresh. I had Oh My Goodness and Zanzibar Chocolate for ice cream and they were both great. I really loved Oh My Goodness. Pricing the ice cream by weight is an interesting choice but makes sense. The thing that sells this location is the beach across the street. My friend and I were lucky enough to be here at sunset with an amazing view of the sky from the shoreline. If you go here, maybe go around early evening to experience that as well. Overall, it's not a place I would die for, but I enjoyed myself and I would totally recommend this place if you find yourself in Pewaukee :-) read more

the workers are always super nice, the location on the beach is great and i love that there's a nice river spot to sit outside the ice cream they have is absolutely delicious omg it tastes so good every single time :D read more

Looking for a light outside lunch on a sunny day we tried The Chocolate Factory for the first time. We stepped in and waited in line only to find out after a few minutes we were in the wrong one. We stepped over to the registers and ordered 2 hotdogs, (which came with chips,) one with cheese, and ordered 2 drinks. When the food was ready we were handed baskets of the hot dogs but no cups or chips; I guess we were to grab them in the previous area. The mature woman yelled to the staff in the other area to remember to hand out the cups (she was less than friendly to us or the other staff.) When we looked at the hot dogs I mentioned that I had ordered mine with cheese and she snapped at me and said it was there. She picked up the hotdog and there was a skinny little line of something yellow smeared on the bun. ( Enjoy the photos of this exchange.) I asked her if that was all I was getting and she said yes and nothing more. To say I was disappointed to have been charged an extra dollar for this joke is an understatement. But the dogs were large and I was hoping all would be ok. Nope, the taste was blah and rather salty. No taste at all of the supposed cheese. And on top of that the soda fountain Pepsi needed to be mixed right and had little flavor. We will not be back as this first experience was not friendly or tasty. Maybe their ice cream is better. I'll never find out. read more

Eight location chain in the Milwaukee area, popular stop for sandwiches, ice cream and yoghurt (own brands). This location in Pewaukee is right on the lake, so it's idyllic in good weather to take your eats and walk outside to sit at tables overlooking the beach, the swimmers, the boats. Might as well be at the Outer Banks or Coronado Beach. Great get-away spot if you're in Milwaukee and have some hours to kill. read more

It's pretty good sandwich and ice cream shop. It's a sandwich shop that is better than subway or nationwide chain shop but not the best I've had. The location is beautiful with the pewaukee beach right across the street. I do like how they have a station where you can add spices to your sandwich. The tuna sandwich is pretty good quality but is it really worth 7.50$ for a 7 inch sandwich? I don't think it's good bang for your buck but they should let us pick what toppings we want with the protein we choose like potbelly's sandwich shop does. The ice cream is pretty good but not better than average and it is fair prices for what you get. read more

We stop here for dinner whenever we visit Pewaukee. (It's not a candy store, as the name implies.) Right across the street from the water, it is a convenient place to get a tasty sub, fresh salad, or mouth-watering ice cream. We've had the delicious roast beef, turkey, and ham and cheese subs made with their fresh, lightly-crusted, Italian sub rolls. The oregano gives them a unique, pleasant flavor. And of course we get their delicious ice cream that comes in many flavors, such as Moose Tracks or Strawberry Cheesecake. Parking is on the street or at their spacious lot in the back. We look forward to our next meal there! read more

Wonderful place to come for a delicious sweet treat! Came here after school with my son. Had the electric watermelon Italian ice and kitty kitty bang bang. A sweat candy taste with a touch of sour candy flavor to it. Yum! Clean tables and friendly service. A little slow on a Thursday afternoon with spectacular views of the sunset over the lake. read more

The Phoenix Sandwich took me by surprise, with how delicious it was. It's a small, casual space. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I love the hand made ice cream sandwiches that they make with chocolate chip cookies. Employees are fantastic and very friendly/helpful. Menu has a nice variety of sandwiches. read more

The ice cream is always delicious and subs are perfect. I always get the spicy bacon mayo one I can't really remember what it's called but it's really really good my favorite ice cream that they sometimes have but not always is black cherry the service is nice I always see them cleaning the tables into the happy place to go in the summer because there's a Beach right outside the window. You can just walk across the street to, so I recommend this business for 100 different reasons read more

Good spot! To start, they handled big crowds very well! The food can lack a little bit, but the ice cream is the best around! The atmosphere in the restaurant boosts your experience a lot! The pictures and and furniture make the place seem very spacious! I love it here, although I do wish they had more food options! read more

Great ice cream, and you can't beat sitting on the beach outside in summer while the kids play in the water! Sandwiches were ok but pricey. The person taking my order said a kid's sandwich was nearly as big as a regular one, but it was barely half the size. read more

Cute little ice cream shop. Lots of options. Delicious ice cream and waffle cones. 4 waffle cones and a cup of ice cream cost $18. No complaints! Kids were super friendly and efficient. Plenty of places to sit on a warm Saturday night even with it being so busy in that area. read more

My wife and I love their club subs, served on fresh warm rolls, though other offerings are also very good. I appreciate that they have a small self-serve area for adding to your sandwich such as banana peppers, pickles, etc. They're known for their ice cream choices available, but beware, it is priced by weight and as tempting as it is, you might be surprised when at the register. read more

They have the best subs ever. Great food We order a lot for lunch and have DoorDash deliver our order is always right and food is great.

Updating my 4 star review left several years ago to a new 5 star review. I started working a few miles from this location a few years ago and This chocolate factory has since become my go to place for lunch. I typically go at least once a week, sometimes more. The staff is always friendly, service is always fast and the food is always consistently good. What more do you really want from a good lunch spot? Never a bad experience at the Chocolate Factory. read more

If you like spicy, the Phoenix is an amazing sandwich. It's totally unique and totally Chocolate Factory!

Oh Chocolate Factory how do I love thee! Subs and ice cream all in one spot! My tummy does flips thinking about what to get. Favorite sub! The Phoenix - smoked turkey breast, jalapeno bacon, Wisconsin pepper jack cheese and chipotle mayo So good! Oh so good. Extra chipotle mayo please... Any soup on tap! plus some dessert! Well I'll take a triple scoop of "this sh** just got serious" please and thank you! Great place to get your grub on especially for a quick bite! I go to Shorewood and Pewaukee locations and it's all good. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch with my pops for early Father's Day. Super cool location being right across from the beach at Peawaukee lake. Room to sit inside or out is availavle. Soup, sandwiches, and ice cream are the theme here. We tried a ham and cheese sub and also the featured sandwich which was pulled pork with slaw and cheese and a cup of cheesy broccoli soup. The sandwich I ordered was a mini extremely small pretty much the size for a child. No big deal the sandwich was decent and i did order the mini. Pulled pork sandwich was good. The soup was not. Tasted like cambells cream of chicken mixed with Campbell's cream broccoli. Just not good. If your going to the beach it's easier to bring your own sandwiches and walk over for some ice cream. Tons of flavors and service is great and fast. Food you should skip read more

Absolutely love the food of this place and that ice cream is always good to. Unfortunately I don't get there enough. I need to try and get there more often. read more

The chocolate factory is the absolute BEST place for subs. There bread is so much better than Cousins or Subway. I always get a hot Turkey sub and it is the best sub I could ever want! My friend also enjoys the phoenix sandwich! The ladies here are so friendly and have even come to know me by name and recognize my voice on the phone when I do call in orders for carry-out. Go here for lunch - you will not be disappointed! read more

My husband and I stopped here after dinner for some ice cream. They have a little window that you can order from outside which was so nice, especially during covid 19 where you don't really want to go inside. The peanut butter chocolate ice cream is to die for! It's in the perfect location so you can just walk around the lake while eating your cold ice cream. They also have seating outside! Highly recommend stopping here. read more

there is sooo many choices for ice cream and they sell sandwiches too. This place is a chill place and a good study place.

Chocolate Factory Pewaukee...let me count the ways in which you are awesome! 1) The Spot: It's right on Pewaukee Beach. You cannot beat the location in summer. You don't have to go in the water, but there is a beautiful beach and sidewalk to walk, great people watching, and awesome lake views 2) The BREAD. OMG The bread is to die for. They have the best bread out of any sub shop. My kids love the croissants too. 3) The Staff: Extremely friendly and personable staff. They are truly happy to see you when you come in and treat you like family. Try getting that experience at a fast food 'custard' or ice cream place around here. 4) The Ice Cream. Tons of great flavors and sundaes to choose from. I prefer Mint Chip, kids like Blue Moon, and my wife goes for the Sundaes! read more

Chocolate Factory is my go-to place in the summer! They have a variety of flavors to choose from for ice cream along with the different cones. Along with this, they have a cookie ice cream sandwich which is amazing! For food options, there's hotdogs, subs, salads, etc! On the board, there is a milkshake of the month/ sundae and other options to order! I'm sooooo happy Chocolate Factory is here, it's an awesome refreshment :) read more

Stopped in here after dinner next door at Seester's, with a bunch of friends. Staff was ready and eager to help us, which made me smile. I sampled the birthday cake ice cream and the espresso ice cream, but in a heartbeat, ended up going with the latter (though bday cake was yummy too!). I'm not usually an ice cream person, so when I fall in love with a flavor somewhere, I take note. ^_^ I got it in a waffle cone, complete with a little plastic holder. They don't have prices listed in the store on the walls or anything, so I was really unsure what my total would come out to be. The guy just scooped in some ice cream, asked me if it was enough; I said yes, after which he weighed my sweet treat. I (eventually) found out they charge by ounce! I've never seen that before at an ice cream shop, but it seems like a good system. Anyway, my total came out to just under $4 which, to me, is totally reasonable. I even tipped(!), which I rarely rarely do when it's not 'necessary.' I loved that their staff was so young--probably teens who are just trying to save up some money on a summer job. That made me happy. ^_^ read more

Good ice cream on Main Street in Pewaukee. Great after a day out on the beach. They've got lots of flavors to choose from, the young staff is super nice, and there's inside seating- or take your cone for a stroll! read more

Great spot on Pewaukee Lake for a sub sandwich or ice cream. A bit on the pricey side (my mini sub was almost $5)...BUT, everything is always delicious and it's definitely higher quality than, say, your typical Subway stop. I love the Blackberry turkey - turkey, provolone, blackberry jam, and spicy Giardiniera. Great flavors and something different. Soups and some daily specials round out the usual menu. You can also grab a cone here year-round and there's a nice variety of ice cream flavors. Enjoy the view while you're at it, no matter the season - the Lake view is gorgeous any ol' time! read more

Great subs outstanding ice cream and even better service. Prompt, polite and dare I say it..freaky fast. Great quality and fresh! Can't wait for them to cater for our wedding party lunch before our wedding next month! read more

I got no problems with the subs, sandwiches, salads, soups, and ice cream at the Chocolate Factory. Quality is a lot better than the chain sub places and they give you exactly what you want. My only issue is the the Sprecher root beer comes out too foamy from the soda machine. I love that you get a little chocolate with your order - that's the best part. Grab your lunch and head over to the park across the street if it's nice out! read more

Remember the Seinfeld episode in which George and his lady friend made a love connection over pastrami, the most sensual of all the salted cured meats? That's how I feel about the Phoenix at the Chocolate Factory. The bread, that warm, crisp, tender bread! The chipotle mayo that burns my chapped lips just a tiny bit, just enough to let me know that it cares! The abundant red onions, the pepperjack cheese! Oh, that fine line between pleasure and pain, between lunch satisfaction and unbridled passion! I don't know which agitates my loins more fearsomely: the sandwiches or the tattooed guy making them. read more
