Best Frozen Custard in Milwaukee · Milwaukee, WI
Leon's Frozen Custard has scooped Milwaukee's favorite frozen custard since 1942, a glowing neon drive-in on South 27th Street said to have inspired the Milwaukee-set 'Happy Days.' The custard — vanilla, chocolate, and a daily special — is made fresh all day and served at a walk-up window year-round.
Still owned by the founding family and little changed in eight decades, Leon's is a genuine Milwaukee landmark and, by Yelp's reckoning, the top frozen-treat stop in Wisconsin.
