The Story
The checkerboard floor and bright neon sign at Babes welcome you like an old friend, promising a sweet escape from the everyday. Inside, the air hums with the happy chatter of folks savoring creamy scoops, thick malts, and towering sundaes, each a little taste of yesteryear. It’s a true Milwaukee gem, where every lick and every smile feels like a classic summer day made real.

Best experience in Bay View!! Customer service was amazing. The people working offered us to try every single flavor at the shop. They have so many flavors! Not only do they serve ice cream but they have ice cream cakes for birthday, ice cream sandwiches, frozen bananas and much more.

Small ice cream shop with some hidden gems! I had a dairy free root beer float which is awesome because they are hard to find. Store was clean. Most seating is outside so be prepared to walk and eat or stand up inside. Staff was super friendly. You’ll find many unique flavor combos at this place you won’t find elsewhere. Lots of dairy free oat milk choices. We paid $2 to park across the street.

We went to Cafe Lulu for lunch, and then we hit the hat shop, so to round out a great day of adventuring, we hit Babes Ice Cream for some dessert. I got two scoops of coconut Inna bowl, and Stacy got this crazy waffle bowl dipped in chocolate and topped with whipped cream. I'm not sure which flavor of ice cream she got, but she was happy, so I'm so glad. If you are in the area, I would gladly stop in again, out front They have a few tables to sit at, but I recommend going to the corner and sitting at those tables under the trees. It's a nice shaded area

If you're looking for a place for ice cream in Bayview, this is a great options for the after dinner or spontaneous ice cream treat. They have plenty of options of flavors including several vegan options, so there is something for everyone! The staff is friendly and helpful, and they're always happy to let you sample any of the flavors before making a decision. The ice cream is delicious we got a cone and a shake! Seating is available outside to enjoy some people watching while enjoying your treat!
