This burger is very juicy and tastes fantastic. Since a burger and fries just go together with ice cream in my opinion, it was a natural choice to combine them all together before heading off to Mitchell Airport to catch my flight. Unlike many other frozen custard places, Kopp’s also serves up a full lunch/dinner menu of burgers, chicken and fish sandwiches. It’s a perfect treat on a hot summer day.īut custard isn’t the only good thing you’ll find at Kopp’s. Kopp’s uses dark chocolate chips in the mint custard, which is an easy way to win me over, as that means two of my favorite tastes are combined into one. It’s soft and spoonable from the second it gets out of the machine. The texture is so smooth that it’s almost like a soft-serve with the taste and fullness of regular ice cream. As I said before, frozen custard has to contain at least 1.4 percent egg, which makes for a richer, creamier dessert than the standard ice cream. On my visit, my choice was mint chip, as you’ve probably gathered by the sign and the picture at the start of the post, thus eliminating any suspense. On the signs outside the restaurant, Kopp’s will announce which flavors are being produced that day, information that also shows up on their website. A return trip might produce butter pecan and chocolate peanut butter, or red raspberry and key lime pie. On one day, you might have red velvet cake and pomegranate available. Chocolate and vanilla are always offered, but the other two choices could be anything. That’s because Kopp’s only produces four flavors a day and rotates which flavors it chooses to make. At Kopp’s and other Wisconsin custard places, you need a calendar to know what flavor is going to be available on your visit. The way frozen custard stands work in Wisconsin is nothing like what you find at places like Baskin-Robbins or Cold Stone Creamery, where you can get whatever ice cream you want any day of the week. Kopp’s is actually in the suburbs of Milwaukee, but it’s close enough for me. Several places claim to serve the best in the Brew City, but there’s only one that was the first to go beyond the basic chocolate and vanilla, and that’s Kopp’s Frozen Custard. In the Midwest, frozen custard is the preferred dessert, and the place to find the best is in Milwaukee, where an abundance of local dairy products make it a natural spot to serve the best frozen dairy treats. If there’s any more egg in there and it’s not a soft-serve ice cream, the result is frozen custard. Ice cream, by definition, has to contain fewer than 1.4 percent of egg products. I had grown up on ice cream in the east, never realizing that there is in fact a difference in the two products. It isjust same old boring frozen custard and definitely won't be part of the trip, but the portion is huge, single scope is probablyequavalent to half a pin, no joke, and for $3 plus only, but you get what you pay for.Prior to moving to the Midwest in college, I had no idea what frozen custard was. Compare tothe Jeni's in Chicago (and can be purchased in groceries stores and even Target), this is no comparison in my opinion. The limitation is a big minus for me, probably also explains why there was no wait that day, maybe. I guess you just have to come on a different day for the more exotic flavors like RedVelvet Oreo. There are only 2 standard flavors (vanilla and chocolate) plus the flavors of the day, butterpecan and cherry cycle, 4 flavors total. This place does it nicely,but no wow factor whatsoever. What makes frozen custarddifferent from ice cream is just the egg yolk, which gives the richer, thicker and creamier texture. This review is for the frozen custardonly, not sure about the burgers and other foods but burgers are just burgers, fries are just fries. There was no wait on the custard side so it was quick. We didn't make it the first time around since it was a hot day and the line was out onto the street, butwe made it the second time around. It is not easy to find old school frozen custard places these days unless youare out in the sticks. We decided to give this place a try after visiting the Public Market andseeing the high ratings with over 8000 reviews. unless the food is worth it we won't make the drive. We come to WI once in a while mostly visiting the Public Market and especially St Paul's.
