Babe's Ice Cream & Desserts

A very nicely decorated facility which adds to the pleasure of enjoying a top grade ice cream. Lisa dug into a generous dose of chocolate sundae. I had a cone full of a multi colored flavors that hit the spot. The lady at the counter was very helpful.

Was craving something sweet and wanted to try a local spot. Not going to lie, I am a sucker for anything butterscotch. I got the scotcheroo with pb, butterscotch and chocolate. It was really good. My only complaint is price for qty. 6.50 for one small scoop in a waffle cone seemed pricey compared to the plenty of custard shops here in MKE. Would be willing to stop by to try another flavor if I was in the area for dinner but won't be rushing back.

Delicious, but VERY limited choices because they are closing for Winter on Nov 23, 2024.

A few Milwaukee local spots are closed on Mondays. Not Babe's and we thought it was a great spot after the long holiday weekend.

We stopped here for some sweets after lunch. They had a pretty good variety of flavors but I felt some were a little odd and not something that most people would embrace (e.g. black licorice) Also, in the end, I was not a fan of the chocolate ice cream that I had but my kids were satisfied with their choices

If you're looking for a place for ice cream in Bayview, this is a great options for the after dinner or spontaneous ice cream treat. They have plenty of options of flavors including several vegan options, so there is something for everyone! The staff is friendly and helpful, and they're always happy to let you sample any of the flavors before making a decision. The ice cream is delicious we got a cone and a shake! Seating is available outside to enjoy some people watching while enjoying your treat!

Super great customer service. The ice cream is a bit pricey, but delicious!! I would recommend this place.

Overall, I was not impressed with babes. It was quite a let down as it had a lot of rave reviews. Their flavor options were lacking, however, they did have a lot of vegan and gf options which is nice. I also think it is relatively overpriced for what you get and when I went the staff was not the friendliest. They have chocolate shoppe ice cream but I wish they had a wider variety of flavors as most of their flavors were either fruit based or chocolate.

I had a really good vegan brownie sundae from here. The only things keeping it from being amazing is the soy ice cream they use. It's not as creamy and yummy as cashew milk, oatmilk, or even almond and coconut milk. It was still good though and I would return if in the area again. I love all of the vegan toppings that are available, not just nuts. There are also other vegan goodies like shakes, ice cream cakes, and ice cream sandwiches. There are lots from which to choose, so kudos to them for that.

Okay, here it is: I don't love ice cream. Typically I think it's too sweet and too cold to really enjoy. That said...Babe's is great. If I had to get ice cream from anywhere in Milwaukee, it would be here. Their ice cream is creamy and flavorful. Yes, their ice cream is sweet of course, but it is not overly sugary at the expense of the flavor. There is enough variety here to likely satisfy everyone, along with a sizable selection of gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options. They are also one of the ONLY places that does a truly kid-friendly sized option. Like, just one small scoop in a cup. It's perfect. Of course, if you're looking for larger portions, they've got you covered with your standard delicious smelling waffle cones made in-house. So take it from me, your resident ice cream non-fan, Babe's is worth a try for sure!
