Purple Door Ice Cream

Solid ice cream and would rec the Salted Caramel! Just nothing overly special and felt like most of the flavors I tried were fairly average. I would say this is a top-mid tier place for me. They do have a lot of flavors available which was neat, and based off their website it seems like they have a whole ton of flavors in their arsenal. Being from the south, something I noticed that is normalized in the midwest is upcharging to split 1 scoop into two flavors. Not a big fan of that but it is what it is.Street parking is available

TLDR - Purple Door is such an amazing locally and small owned business. You can get the light, floating scent of waffle cones hovering in the air as soon as you walk in. The flavor list is creative and the staff is always so delightful.I have gotten so many different scoops there and I really love their small tub of mini ice cream sandwiches They also in years past hosted a really fun flavor creation contest that even lead to the winners being permanent flavors featured and the mini scoops and helping to vote was so incredible! Salted Carmel has always been my go to but I see salted honey that I will probably do a half and half the next time I go.

Yelp reviews brought us in and Purple Door didn't disappoint! Expect to wait a bit, it's clearly popular. But the wait was worth it! Delicious ice cream. I enjoyed a scoop of their sweet corn ice cream.Local tip: Purple Door is near the Milwaukee River Boat Launch (600 S Water St) which is the best place in MKE to view the Hoan Bridge lights. We drove our ice cream over there to park and enjoy the lights and dessert.

Finally got to try Purple Door! Stopped by on a rainy day and didn't have to wait in line. Staff were super friendly and sweet. I sampled the raspberry sorbet which was very refreshing. We got a Salted Vanilla Bean in a waffle cone and Salted Caramel in a cup. Both were equally delicious and super rich in flavor. I would recommend paying the extra $1.60 for the waffle cone! Made fresh daily! They were really generous with my 1 scoop of ice cream in my waffle cone. Easily shareable for two. This place is small and can get packed quickly. Lots of street parking depending on the time of the day you are there.

After looking at all the unique flavors on their website I was really excited to come check them out! Unfortunately, they only have a handful of the advertised flavors available at a given time and none of them were the ones I wanted to try. The shop is small, but cute with a few indoor and patio seats. The staff was very friendly and more than happy to answer questions and let me try a flavor I was waffling on.The best thing about the shop was their "mini flight" option since I love to try a bunch of things and not hate myself afterwards. You can get 4 adorable mini-sugar cones but we didn't need all that so opted for just one. The ice cream itself is pretty good but I don't think I'd go out of my way to get it unless they had one of their "exotic" flavors on tap (like Malort).

Great and friendly service. Cute location.I ended up buying a pint of purple moon! It was delicious and I can't say I've ever had a sorbet like this. It was a flavor explosion in your mouth. I got lemon, then berry, then almond cookie. It was amazing! I only wish they had it available in scooped ice cream or more DF/gf flavors in scooped ice cream because we stopped before a hockey game and ended up tossing most of the pint just because of time and it was too much for one person to eat. We'll be back though and are excited to try new flavors.

This ice cream had my tummy tossing and turning after & that's exactly how you know it's good. Solid ice cream. Would come back !

Went here with friends. They had 2 vegan flavors and a sorbet. Staff is knowledgeable, they told us right away which flavors are vegan and which cones were vegan as well. They also told us right away that their house made waffle cone was not vegan which is always appreciated. Available flavors at the time were coffee and dark chocolate and the cucumber like sorbet. We went for the dark chocolate which it was good. Single scoop is huge. Friendly staff.

The employee was friendly. I sampled several flavors before going with the espresso using Anodyne Coffee Roasters. I enjoyed the creamy scoop. Their ice cream can also be found in stores I've seen around Milwaukee.

We love purple door! I visited with my boyfriend on a hot summer night after volleyball at a nearby bar. The line was out the door, so we knew it was a popular spot!The service is impeccable, they move the line very quickly while being kind and offering samples of their many flavors of ice cream. We returned a few weeks later to pick up a custom-ordered birthday cake, and the person behind the counter made my birthday even better by giving ample samples of flavor pairings he had tried. I ended up buying 3 more cartons of ice cream because the spiced pear sorbet and salted honey flavor pairing was THAT GOOD!I only buy purple door ice cream now, as the flavor and taste is unmatched. You can tell they create their ice cream with care. And, it's nice to support a local business!
