Super cute spot with great coffee drinks and muffins! They also had specialty sodas and an extensive wine list, making it a perfect place to lounge and grab a drink at all times of day.
I just picked up a Cortado and a fresh baked blueberry scone that was still warm. I would have taken a picture, but it was gone so fast. Nice, friendly service and very clean.
Came here with my family during the summer, the store was not busy at all, we were the only customers. We have a big family, or about 8 people. We chose the butcher’s wife over any other place to get ice cream because of the good reviews. The younger staff were incredibly nice, but what I’m guessing was the owner or manager ruined the experience for us. We began ordering our ice cream, and paid separately and as soon as we finished paying we were immediately ushered out of the store to “make room because it was too crowded.” She did not even give us the chance to shop around the gift shop or look around the store for a second. This experience was extremely off putting and we were banished to the porch of the store where we quickly ate our ice cream and left. We could tell we were not wanted there and we will never return. This woman should keep in mind that her business is dependent on her customers and she can’t keep kicking them out just because you want to. Also keep in mind we were all adults who were doing nothing but standing in the store. I do not wish for any response to this incident but I would like others to know that bigger groups will not be welcomed inside this store.
Parents live nearby and frequent every summer when my family and Ali visit. Always has been great but there is new management and really dropped in overall service. Came to use the WiFi but they were closed, so after they informed us it’s only available for customers during business hours (we had gotten coffee that morning) we were looking up another location and Hannah comes out just to ask us if there is a problem. At first I thought she came to discuss but she only reiterated what was already told to us. What was really upsetting is she made everyone leave the external porch. An old nice couple that were still drinking their coffee, and were reading books, had to leave? Unnecessary poor customer service.
This place is always great. They have a lot of syrup options for lattes, great coffee, and a good ice cream selection as well. They also have gift items in a pretty decent price range, depending on what you are looking for. The staff is always friendly and I never leave disappointed.
Second stop to this shop in Lake Tomahawk today. Love the Bohemian vibe in this sweet shop. Fantastic coffee, smoothies and ice cream. Last trip I bought pottery & a friend bought a stamped metal sign with her favorite song she used to sing to her husband with Alzheimer's. Staff was very accommodating with our gluten free request. Highly recommend a stop here!
The Butcher's Wife is the best local ice cream place around. The quality of the ice cream is excellent and the service has always been fast and very friendly. They also carry a really great selection of local or small-business homemade items such as really nice purses, magnets, jewelry, books among other small specialty items that you really need to come in to check out. They carry coffee beans as well which we use to make espresso at home. You have to stop in this gem of the northwoods.

We had their homemade ice cream. Best ice cream we've ever had.

Great ice cream and coffee! As of 6/13/20 only 5 customers allowed inside at a time & masks recommended.
