With fast-food restaurants and gas stations around every corner, ice cream is easy to find these days. However, nothing beats a classic ice cream parlor experience. And if you’re craving that experience, you've got to check out The Windmill Ice Cream Shoppe. In business for decades, a visit to the iconic ice cream shop is a tradition for many - and with a huge flavor selection and even bigger portions, it’s easy to see why! Take a look:
Located in Tomahawk, The Windmill Ice Cream Shoppe has been satisfying sweet tooths since 1993.
Throughout the decades, people have traveled from all over to get a sweet treat from the iconic windmill-shaped ice cream shop.
The interior is as charming as the exterior. Of course, your eyes will likely be drawn to the display case filled with ice cream.
All in all, there are 28 delicious flavors of ice cream to choose from!
In addition to traditional flavors, the sweet selection includes unique concoctions.
Your decision-making doesn’t end with the flavors, though. There are also several cones to choose from, including cake, sugar, and waffle. Of course, you can always get your ice cream in a bowl.
Shakes, malts, sorbet, and sundaes are also part of the sweet offering.
No matter what you get, your sweet tooth is sure to be satisfied, though, since the portions are beyond generous.
Picnic tables and a gazebo provide the perfect spot to enjoy your sweet treat – and the surroundings, which are pretty idyllic since The Windmill Ice Cream Shoppe is located near Lake Nokomis.
To really soak up the scenery, go for a stroll down the bike trail that runs right by the ice cream shop. The easy-to-traverse path leads to a trestle bridge, which spans the Lake Nokomis channel.
The Windmill Ice Cream Shoppe is accessible by car, bike, and boat. But it really doesn’t matter how you get there, so long as you get there.
