I'll be honest, as a visitor that adores your frozen custard, it's crazy for me to think anyone would want ice cream. But I suppose there's room enough in this dairy state for both.
My sister introduced me to Babcock several years ago. She said that the ice cream, plus sitting in the Union overlooking to lake would be the perfect way to end my first trip to Madison. And maybe that's what makes this ice cream so special-the scenery, the view, and the people.
Babcock ice cream is amazingly creamy and super cheap. There's plenty of flavors to choose from, it's no Baskin Robbins selection, but who needs quantity when there's quality?
My favorites are tied for gold. Blue Moon, which is a bright blue berry flavored ice cream. No relation to Blue Moon Beer, which kind of disappointed me at first. But not to worry, your taste buds will be more than satisfied, if albeit a tad blue. The Orange Custard Chocolate Chip is also to die for. I've been dying to try the Caramel Apple, but unfortunately I'm 2000 miles away. But you can bet, as soon as I step foot off my plane at MSN I'll be headed to the Babcock's at the Union.
