Back Road Bonus: The Twisted Cone Cambridge,WI

June 18, 2012 by admin

We’d passed this little ice cream shop during the winter when it was closed for the season.  It sits on a great piece of back-road, US 12.  We frequently take US 12 down to the Lake Geneva area, or to Kenosha, and even Chicago.  It’s a great little road that usually allows for a quick but memorable trip.

So we remembered the Twisted Cone one afternoon when it was super hot, we all wanted to get out of the house, and ice cream sounded real good.  About twenty minutes later, we arrived.  We had a few seconds of confusion as The Twisted Cone now sports 2 name billboards.  The road hugging sign declares, “The Twisted Cone” while the rooftop sign reads, “Rock N Rollz Sandwich Co.”  Despite the obvious change in ownership or identity, they still have ice cream!  Yay!

There is a good outdoor eating area in addition to the seats inside.  We came for ice cream but discovered, once inside, that they also serve sandwiches (one vegetarian choice).  There is nothing fancy about this place.  The music blares inside and outside a bit too loudly for our taste (especially inside).  The place is clean and there are restrooms.  The counter help is friendly and efficient.

We had come for the ice cream and we weren’t disappointed!  The prices are fantastic and the portions are generous.  Bluey got a hot fudge sundae.  We asked for a smaller size and they were happy to accommodate, though they didn’t adjust the price.  The hot fudge was actually hot – a nice touch!  Plum and Dad got shakes which were incredibly thick and required two straws per cup.  Mom got a twisted cone of vanilla and chocolate soft serve.

Our total bill was just around $12.  Not as cheap as a quick treat stop at McDonalds, but cheaper than Dairy Queen.  Well worth the occasional stop for the atmosphere and the quality of the treats!
