It was like we couldn't have dinner without getting frozen custard afterward. We didn't KNOW we needed frozen custard after dinner until ... well, it was after dinner, and we were craving something sweet. A quick google search pulled up Purple Door Ice Cream, which wasn't too far away. With flavors like "balsamic strawberry" and "chocolate whiskey," it sounded too fun to pass up. I ordered a cone with two scoops - maple nut and a caramel. These were both amazing - but holy cow, overwhelming. I got a cup where I could topple the cone upside down and use a spoon. You definitely get your money's worth here.

You can make lunch out of their banana split ice cream. It is delicious. The staff are friendly, and it has urban revival vibe to it.
We stopped in here on a day trip to Milwaukee and you could tell by the crowd and line that we made a good choice. I had a hard time picking my two flavors for my waffle cone (which they make in house) because everything looked so good. This is some of the best ice cream I’ve had lately, definitely going in my top five.
Very delicious ice cream!! There is no indoor seating open, but we didn't mind. There was also a pretty long line but it moved really fast, so don't let it intimidate you. The scoops are very large and worth the money.
Crazy but delicious flavors! The front of the house manager is always so nice and helpful by offering suggestions of pairings. Great seasonal flavors. Be prepared for a line out the door during the summer but completely worth it.
Not a big ice cream person, but that place was outstanding! The line out the door tells me the locals really like it, as well. The waffle cones are made in house, the ice cream was very good and the service was excellent. Price wasn't too bad either. The place is a little small, but we did find seating. Be prepared to wait a little bit, worth it though 🍦
This is the best ice cream in Milwaukee; a must visit for your sweet tooth. The line was out the door at 9:40pm on a Saturday night! They let you have two samples and there’s just too many delicious flavors to choose from; it’s a difficult decision. There’s also a wall of news articles and reviews raving about this place; the quality product lives up to the reviews.
OMG this place it’s amazing!
You just get out of your car and you can smell it, they have homemade waffle cones and the ice cream it’s really good, there are some original flavours 🫶🏻
Their was a line outside the door but we understand why. We tried their mint chocolate chip & turtle sundae since they ran out of root beer for the float but we left satisfied. Can’t wait to go back and try their purple door flavor next time.
Not only is this the best ice cream you will likely ever have in your life, but do your best to try and go when Mario is working his magic behind the counter. No joke, Mario reminded me of an ice cream sommelier, letting us try some great samples and even some of his handpicked pairings. He did his job with joy and was genuinely pumped about their product. Viva Mario!
