Ice cream! We can't get this ice cream in Phoenix. Excellent! A must visit in the north woods!

Ice cream + laundry. What's not to love?

Lindsay S.

Laundromat ice cream has become a longstanding tradition for my family when we are in the area on vacation each summer. You just can't beat the unique ambiance of eating ice cream in the laundromat. The ice cream (Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream) is surprisingly high quality and we prefer it over many other ice cream offerings in the area. This place is a great little gem!

Loved this little shop! Lots of flavors to choose from. Staff were super nice also which definitely helps! Kids got hot fudge Sundays, hubby got the butchers block cookie, and I got the Carmel apple pie. We all loved our own. Mine was definitely a good mix of all the stuff inside. Definitely would come back next time we visit! read more

This place has great ice cream treats in an unusual location. It is off the beaten path but easy to find. It shares the building with a laundromat. This place has a good selection of ice cream flavors basic and unique. My new favorite is Yippee Skippee it is peanut butter ice cream with brownie bits, salted caramel, and pretzels. It is so good!!! Zanzimint is also good it's a take on mint chocolate chip but instead of chips it has a rich chocolate ice cream. read more

Loved the different unique flavors that you don't normally see at traditional ice cream shops things like root beer float and exhausted parent lol. Locally made Wisconsin ice cream and the prices are extremely reasonable. They do have places to sit inside out of the heat. read more

Stopped there for the first time last week. Lots of ice cream flavors. I had Door County Black Cherry. Excellent. Two folks behind the counter. Service was fast. Uniquie location for an ice cream store. They share the building with a laundromat. Minocqua is a tourist are so I imagine the laundromat is quite busy. I think this is a great combination. Do your laundry and while you wait, enjoy great ice cream. read more

Great, great ice cream! 4 stars because, due to small store size, they often don't carry all the flavors they have. Staff is friendly and quick. Generous portions. Since it is so small, there are often limited seats which makes it hard with kids, but we take our ice cream to go much of the time. There is a cute gazebo in back if interested!! So many good flavors, too many to name!! read more

This place is a joke. I walked in and the girl working was loudly talking to her friend about some party that they were going to later. She looked about 16. Her friend wasn't ordering anything and stood in the way of customers and refused to move when asked. A gblonde girl with a large bun came to help me. She earned one star and the ice cream it's self earned another one. One other thing.. how come no super man?? read more

It looked so luscious I couldn't really see walking away without trying it. This gelato ranks up there with some of the best things I've ever eaten in my life! It tasted like gooey rich brownie batter complete with tiny grains of deep dark chocolate sand dispersed throughout the dark deliciousness that melted in my mouth. The lady who served it to us was the best kind of ice cream/gelato store server who laughed and was delighted to share delicious treats with customers.

I believe there are new owners, but I am not certain. It appeared that the lemonade was pre-mixed. And it wasn't made in the plastic containers when they would smash the lemons for the fresh lemon juice. It was in a regular fast food cup. It certainly didn't taste the same. I was really disappointed. It was quite busy and it appeared. Everyone was ordering ice cream. So if that is your preference, maybe this is the place to go. They also had a grill with corn on the cob available to purchase. That was something new that I've never seen before. I hope they return to the freshly made lemonade.

Someone said they could tell some of the ice cream had been sitting out for a bit because it was gooey. Beyond the ice cream there were very few other things to choose from. There was a few pieces of random pies and cakes, but most of the refrigerator was empty. There are a few gifts here too. There are a few seats inside, but it's a pretty small place so it feels cramped. Like a few other places in the area, they prefer not to take cards for smaller tabs (under $10). The woman that was working there was very nice and offered many samples.

Overall Marty's Place North is a wonderful spot to have an after dinner drink & dessert at the bar but our dinner reservation experience was less than ideal. We arrived right on time for our online reservation, a plus in the Northwoods to be able to make a reliable reservation digitally. Text confirmation received. Our server took over 8 minutes to greet our table while other servers were bussing their tables. Our appetizer came to the table before our drinks (wine & a root beer). Our server then forgot to bring my salad so I cancelled it after our entrees arrived. Fish fry comes with all the fixings but my steak was undercooked to my medium rare temperature leaving me to only be able to eat the outer portions of the filet. Just disappointing dinner service overall. Other local restaurants in this price range offer a more consistent dining experience.
