Ope! A couple of updates. We have 8 burgers left for the whole rest of the season. Once those are gone, that's a wrap on burgers 'til next year. We also have Maple Nut, creamy maple ice cream and crunchy walnuts, a flavor that tastes like autumn is happening whether you're ready or not. But it pairs suspiciously well with "I just had the last burger of the year."

Don't stop into the shop today! Leave all of these Brandy Old Fashioned pints we have left over from the summer for us! We've already made plans with them, plans that involve a spoon and no witnesses. Do not interfere!

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting cooler. Our hours are getting shorter too, starting tomorrow. We still have Lemon Meringue, though, which is basically summer in a scoop, so come get some before the sun forgets what it's doing entirely and we're all covered in snow and ice. 🥶

The end is nigh! Only a few more weeks left to get one last cone of Zanzibar. We only have one can left for the rest of this summer. (Though we do have a few pints left too.) Come get some!

Praline Pecan has made an end-of-summer appearance. This buttery maple ice cream is topped with a gooey caramel ripple and loads of crunchy, candy-coated pecans. A Southern dessert that took a wrong turn and ended up in a Wisconsin freezer. Eat this on a porch swing, and that's not a suggestion, it's what the Praline Pecan prefers.

Key Lime Cheesecake, Kitty Kitty Bang Bang, and Party Animal are in the house! We brought in one can of each flavor and they are already going fast.

Key Lime Cheesecake: Our dessert equivalent of a season finale.

Kitty Kitty Bang Bang: The name is ridiculous, the flavor is not.

Party Animal: The overachiever of the cookie world.

🍦 We're on the map, literally!

Mad Dog Jakes is now an official stop on the local geocaching trail, and we couldn't be more tickled about it. If you've been out here in Boulder Junction hunting caches through the northwoods, come reward yourself with a scoop when you find your way to us.

Turns out the best treasure in Boulder Junction was ice cream all along. (Don't tell the folks still digging in the woods.)

Whether you're a seasoned cacher or just discovered the hobby, the door's open and the freezer's full. Come say hi. We promise we're easier to find than most caches! ❄️

Use a smartphone or GPS device to navigate to the provided coordinates. Look for a other hidden container. When you find it, write your name and date in the logbook. If you take something from the container, leave something in exchange. The terrain is 1.5 and difficulty is 3 (out of 5).

Our pint freezer is broken and we likely won't get a new one until the season is over. In the meantime, the freezer has been demoted to "menu board" because we still have pints! All of our extra flavors are listed on the freezer and still available. Very industrial chic. Come on in and pick a pint!.

A flavor so Midwestern it should come with a hotdish and a passive-aggressive apology. Butterscotch peanut butter ice cream folded with chocolate-covered rice crisps. Ope, an ice cream twist on your favorite Midwest dessert bar!
