Kopps- Milwaukees Frozen Delight
This past Sunday it was officially National Ice Cream Day. But if you live in the city or suburbs of Greater Milwaukee, frozen custard may be higher on your list than ice cream! If you are not from the area, NO, it’s not some form of frozen pudding. Frozen custard is similar to ice cream, but uses eggs in addition to cream and sugar to get that super creamy texture. At first lick, you will immediately tell the difference!
When it comes to finding the best frozen custard in the Milwaukee area, opinions may vary, but Kopps will come out on the top of most lists! With 3 locations around the metro area, it’s never too far to catch the flavor of the day either by catching it on the marquee, twitter or text message alerts!
The Kopps menu includes frozen custard from one to six scoops! I’d LOVE to see someone get a six scooper and manage that melting ecstasy! Other treats include floats, sundaes (a killer Turtle Sundae), and the jumbo Sundae of the Month. The grill menu features the famous Jumbo Burgers, Chicken Caliente, fish and grilled cheese sandwiches. Just a warning: Jumbo means JUMBO! Kopps can even deliver long distance, for those fans that’ve moved away, but still want their favorite flavor!
Kopps was family founded in 1950’s, and the legend is that the location on North Port Washington Road in Glendale (originally Milky Way Drive In) was the inspiration for the Happy Days TV series. Others might argue that it was Leon’s on S 27th.
Once you try Frozen Custard, it is hard to go back to regular ice cream. Due to the super rich flavor and calorie count, Kopps wouldn’t be a weekly event for most, unless you are training for Ironman! But everyone has their favorite flavors and makes a point of visiting on that day. Some flavors are on the menu daily, like chocolate and vanilla, others run a monthly rotation like the standards: strawberry, butter pecan, chocolate chip cookie dough. There are some unique creations like Sprecher Root Beer Float, Chocolate Whopper Malt or Cotton Candy Confetti. And then there are the super special flavors that appear only once a year! During Festa Italiana, my favorite Palermo Lemon; during Germanfest it’s Bienenstichkuchen, and on Kopps anniversary it’s Imperial Torte in memory of founder Elsa Kopp. WHATS YOUR FAVORITE CUSTARD STAND AND FLAVOR? I’D LOVE TO HEAR!
If you are hooked on Kopps, Glendale would be a great place to live! You could walk or ride you bike over to catch your favorite treat. This home is perfect for a buyer looking to be close to Bayshore, Interstate 43 or Kopps! Call today to take a look.
