Love the ice cream here. We visit this place once a month for a treat. We go after work and the lines are sometimes pretty obnoxious. But in the winter it's a little better as no one wants ice cream when it's below freezing. Though I always thought it just helps the ice cream last longer!
This is one of my favorite breakfast places in town, and one of the best sandwich places, too. The coffee is really good, too, using Just Coffee beans. I highly recommend the breakfast burrito or the Bulky Badger sandwich.
We love Babcock ice cream. Union Utopia, chocolate peanut butter, and chocolate chip cookie dough are some of our favorites. 25 minutes maximum meters make it more likely that you can find a spot, then in the past. A yummy treat for sure. They also have kids cones available for under $2, for kids only.
They have standard flavors and then special flavors and I still have not decided my favorite. They actually sell cheese, sandwiches, etc that are quite good. The small size of the ice cream is 2-3 scoops, and it can be multiple flavors with no extra charge. I recommend getting it in a bowl because it can get messy fast when using a cone. Hot tip: go upstairs to see them actually making ice cream and other dairy products.
Good ice cream and cheese made in house by UW food science folks. Fun to visit and watch them make dairy products.
Babcock is the best ice cream around always fresh and always new and interesting flavors. The service is always quick and friendly. 2 thumbs up.
I had an odd request when I went into the shop. I needed 5 malts to take to my son's family right away. The shop was extremely busy but they moved as fast as possible. All the working students were friendly and courteous. They even went in the back room to find a box that I could carry the drinks in.We used to take that son and my other son to the shop back in the early 80s!!!
An awesome alternative choice for breakfast during the week, especially for srudents. It's close to the engineering campus as well as a majority of Lakeshore dorms. All the food is handmade right in front of you but it's still pretty quick.
They've genetically engineered cows to add sugar to the milk, then they just rest the udder on an ice block. If you ask, they'll show you. Sounds disturbing but the cows love it, and the customers can't get enough. I just made all that up to draw attention to how excellent the ice cream is.
A great small store with lots of dairy products made locally and they are tasty. Definitely check it out!
Went there for ice cream with a few folks from Janesville and they all swore if there is ever a reason to visit Madison, then it is the Ice-cream. Lots of flavors to choose from. The best ice cream I have tasted in years!
Fantastic ice cream. Sandwiches are loaded with cheese. You can also go upstairs and watch the dairy plant in operation.
