The University of Wisconsin- Madison has an ice cream lab or factory or whatever and I remember it being pretty darn good, but we also had a frozen custard place off campus- more like a little stand- that was ridiculously, addictively good. I always ordered cookies & cream shakes.
In Door County, Wisconsin, there's an ice cream place called Wilson's that's just terrific.

Agree that Cold Stone and Maggie Moo's are part of what's wrong with america! 31 Flavors too!
How a dump like cold stone can stay open in a quality-ice-cream city like Boston is beyond me! And maggie moo's tastes like lard!

I think Bruster's is pretty good for a "going out for ice cream" kind of place (even though I'm a "SOFT SERVE CUSTARD" chick), locations we've been to were in Virginia Beach, Hilton Head, and Charleston SC. Cold Stone has absolutely no flavor and melts very fast. I think it's made mainly of whole milk. I prefer Marble Slab.
Would love to try Kopp's whenever we get to WI.

My votes for the best ice cream......in New England:
#1 Richardson's Dairy in Middleton, MA It's just about 12 miles northeast of Boston on Rt. 114 and worth the trip. You get to see the cows that make your ice cream and in the spring, the calves. They have a wonderful new brick building with inside and outside tables and chairs. You can also play miniature golf, drive or bat balls. It's a real destination. But the best reason to come is the ice cream. Favorite flavor? DH's is Rum Raisin; mine M&M Vanilla or Moosetracks. They are open ALL YEAR and always busy. You can get milk there also.
#2 Kellerhaus near Weir's Beach, NH on Route 3. Old German-type chalet building offering homemade ice cream and a make-it-yourself sundae bar! Their vanilla and chocolate-chocolate chip are the best. You can see Lake Winnepeasaukee from the windows in their dining room and play the antique player piano. We MUST have a sundae there every summer!
New on my list but outside New England.....Ken Dawe's Frozen Custard in St. Louis. Not sure if that's really considered ice cream, as we don't really see that variety here in New England. But it's sooooo good.

Agree with the previous poster ...
RICHARDSON'S in Middleton, MA absolutely ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! The best rum-raisin I've ever tasted, and my DGD loves the cotton candy. My son & family have moved away this summer to the West Coast. I'm sure gonna miss that ice cream!!! So, what's the best ice cream in Fresno, CA, guys???

Graeters in Cincinnati ...I received a UPS carton filled with dry ice and 12 pints...assorted flavors..it came to my office..so I did have to share..was so sad when I got home and tasted..wanted the other pints back! Best gift I have received in the last 48 yrs!
