    Best darned ice cream I've ever had straight from the factory! Super nice people and clean! Definitely worth the drive to check it out for yourself!

    Great place to visit for some great icecream made in Wisconsin! Indoor and outdoor seating is available with many choices of icecream flavors! My favorite flavor is Black Cherry in a delicious waffle cone! Don't forget to get a picture with the Cedar Crest cow!

    Amazing variety of freshly made ice cream. The line moved very quickly, and portion size is good for the price. Great outdoor seating. Dont forget to take a picture with the cow

    If you are traveling through Manitowoc “the cow” is the place to stop for the best ice cream! It’s a block from red arrow park and Lake Michigan so easy walk or drive. - A few of my favorite flavors. 1. Mackinac Fudge 2. Elephant Tracks 3. Blue Moon. Depending on time the parking can be tight

    The ice cream is great but the 3 teens working behind the counter were not very personal (I don't think they wanted to be there). However we were served quickly and enjoyed our 2 ice cream bowls and the pup cup.

    Yummmmmm!!! That's all there is to it 😀❤️ Staff is very good at their jobs and the line was out the door during this particular visit. They handled it like champs and got everybody served as quickly as anyone could. I tried an orange and vanilla mix (forgot the name-it may have simply been "Orange Swirl"). Popular in my group was something called "Dump Truck". It was a graham cracker flavor and that did not disappoint. I believe it was honey flavor with graham's pieces....I might have that wrong but they nailed it 😁. If you haven't been to Cedar Crest Ice Cream Factory you really need to add it to your bucket list, it's delicious!

    Stopped in bought a banana split. They should have two sizes a regular size one plus one that's half the size quite a bit of ice cream made for one person. I normally buy a two scoop ice cream cone. By different flavors each time I go there

    My favorite ice cream destination in the area! Every time we go to Manitowoc we are sure to pay a visit to the "big brown cow" and get a few scoops of some of the best ice cream around. Lots of flavor choices for adults and kids, very nice customer service, and a clean store. Prices are very reasonable as well!

    Literally the best ice cream out there. They always have so many options for you to choose from and always let you taste it before you get it. Be sure to ask for your scoop stamp card because they typically forget since they are normally so busy.

    Great ice cream! Got two pints to take home and a two scoop dish for right away. They had 4-5 people working to serve customers. Very friendly and efficient, and able to deal well with a lot of folks coming in at once, who didn't know what they wanted!

    Fantastic place to stop for a cone or sundae. Ice cream is phenomenal and the flavor selection is top notch.

  • 5/5 Denise B. 9 months ago on Google

    There is little in Manitowoc which is more iconic than "the cow." The ice cream is excellent, and the staff are hardworking and kind. Whether you are here to visit or stay, Cedar Crest ice cream is a must have.

    Delicious ice cream! What variety!! Riding with the hubby who was picking up from there and got to get a scoop while waiting on truck to get loaded. Will definitely return on next visit

  • 5/5 Dan H. 1 year ago on Google
    The deliciousness of their ice cream speaks for itself! They also care about the community and the people who live in the areas they serve. We love Cedar Crest!

    This is quite the spot for ice cream near Red Arrow Park and Red Arrow Beach. The friendly staffed allowed my wife and I to sample several delicious ice cream flavors. My wife had single scoop the WI Campfire Smores ( Graham flavored ice cream with crushed peanut butter cups and a marshmallow swirl) in a cup. I went with the two scoops of Bubble Gum (Pieces of Bubble Gum in Pink Bubble Gum Flavored Ice Cream) waffle cone. They had picnic tables outside and tables inside for patrons to sit. It is cute parlor definitely worth you time if you need to cool off from a hot, summer day.

    This is a very affordable ice cream parlor. We got ice cream for our family of three for under ten dollars. They have a good kiddie size. The employees are friendly. There are TONS of flavors. And our daughter loved milking the cow outside. There is not a lot of indoor seating, but plenty of picnic tables outside. We'll be back!

    This ice cream parlor is on the site where Cedar Crest makes their ice cream. You can't miss it-- there is a big cow out front. Her name is Bernice. Cedar Crest offers a large variety of flavors that do change from time to time. Masks are no longer required. They no longer monitor or limit the number of customers allowed inside the parlor. Outside by Bernice the cow, there is a large grassy area with a few tables to enjoy your ice cream treats as well as tables outside by the building and a few more inside. Always a summer time destination!

👍 Nice spot for a caffeine fix and a sweet treat. A few seats in back for chatting or doing some work. Drinks were good, though the cookie and rice krispies treat were a bit dryer than one might like.
