Gesserts Ice Cream and Confectionery

So charming and quaint yet yummy!Not only a ton of ice cream but also a lot of gourmet chocolates and retro stuff.There is a cute area to sit down and in the back there is a lot of historical stuff. It is much bigger and cuter then you may think and ice cream is amazing. Enjoy!

Stopped here for ice cream this afternoon. Great selection of flavors. Ice cream was smooth and creamy and delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Adorable place with old time soda fountain feel. Great ice cream.

You can tell the place has been lovingly cared for. Lots of old memorabilia tell you the shop has been around for a long time. Walking around looking at the wall decor and items about the local history brings reminders of the "old days".There are almost too many flavors to choose from. A nice array of sorbet for those who can't do ice cream. Lots of help behind the counter which makes the line move quickly. Pay attention the the number of scoops per the description. You get a LOT of ice cream. Great waffle cones. They also have fudge and an assortment of other candy, like a typical candy/ice cream shoppe.Overall a great stop when in the area!

If you love ice cream and history, you will love Gesserts. How can you not? Gesserts is a traditional American soda fountain in a historic town attracting locals and tourists since 1922. You simply cannot go wrong. I ordered a chocolate malt because that is my favorite. For the readers that may not know what a malt is without googling, all you need to know is that it's amazing. If you're from a country that drinks Milo, it's like a frozen ice cream version. Anyways, it was served properly! In a glass with whipped cream and a cherry with my personal favorite- extra malt in a large metal container, which I emptied the contents of the glass container into because the metal brings me back to the soda fountains from the 1950s. Ice cream options- there are plenty. My nephews loved the rainbow sherbert. Half of Gesserts is ice cream, half is candy which includes chocolates. I couldn't resist packaged sour candy belts. For a gift. Gesserts is a staple in this town. I truly hope you enjoy a step back in time. You can even see the original register, games and stools, which are preserved in the back room. Great place for souvenir candies and candy supplies.

Amazing old style ice cream parlor. If you're a regular on Elkhart Lake, you know this place. If you're going to be a regular on Elkhart Lake, you'll get to know it quite well. The only warning is that this place is addicting and hard to stay away from. Ice cream is counted "traditional style" aka a kid's scoop is one scoop, a single scoop is 2 scoops, and so on.

We stopped here after dinner on 8-18-2021 for a real treat. Great service and the most delicious ice cream I have ever had. Some unique flavors can be found here. Not the average ice cream shop for sure.

A true ice cream parlor. It reminded me of "It's a Wonderful Life" and full of history. Homemade waffle cones hand dipped in fudge daily. Many ice cream choices, fudge, candy, etc.

Cute little ice cream shop within walking distance of the Osthoff Resort! You must get the waffle cone.
