Well, Mother Nature clearly didn't get the memo that today is our LAST DAY of the season. 🌧️

Here's the good news: ice cream doesn't melt as fast when it's cold and rainy out. That's just science. So really, this might be the best ice cream weather of the whole year if you think about it. (Please don't think about it too hard.)

Come grab one last cone before we close up for the winter. Bring an umbrella, bring the kids, bring your coworkers, bring the whole crew. We'll be here scooping until close.

To everyone who stopped in this summer, thank you. Seeing so many familiar faces and meeting new ones is what makes this place special. Madrid, you showed up big for us this year and we don't take that for granted.

Last Sunday of the season at The Filling Station 🍦

Hard to believe, but today is our last Sunday open for the year. Thank you to everyone who stopped in this summer, whether you biked in off the trail, brought the whole ball team after a game, or just needed a cone on a warm night. You made this season a good one.

If you haven't made it in yet, today is your chance. Come grab one more scoop before we close up for the winter. We'd love to see you!

Open today 1:00-9:00 PM

Just a reminder that The Filling Station is staying open a little later this year!

We’ll be scooping all the way through September 30th (besides Fridays)! 🙌🍨

That means you’ve still got plenty of time for a few more cones, flurries, shakes & ice cream runs before we call it a season.

But don’t wait too long… September 30th will be here before we know it! 😭

Come see us & help us finish out another awesome season! 🍦

Good morning Madrid! Farmers market is happening today starting at 10:00 AM and if you are heading down that way, swing into The Filling Station after for a scoop. Nothing better than fresh produce in one hand and ice cream in the other on a Saturday morning.

If you have never made it out to the market, today is a good day to start. Support your neighbors, grab something fresh, and treat yourself while you are at it. See you around town.
