This was a fun stop for lunch while in Manitowoc. It is know for its ice cream, like 32 different sundaes and more if you want to do your own thing. The ice cream is homemade, as our their candy selections. We tried a little mint chocolate that was wonderful. The candies and chocolates are made the same as they were 80 years ago in copper kettles and wooden paddles for hard candies and all the chocolates are hand dipped. Did you know there is a code on top of them that will help you know whats inside. They have this little paper that is called the Sundae News with the history of restaurant and its owners. The inside decor is from days gone by with beautiful wood, candy cases and arches. They also serve sandwiches that were very good. Very busy place but very enjoyable.

This is our second visit and we really stocked up - cheese curds, string cheese, cheddar, Colby, Gorgonzola, spreading cheddar, Monterey Jack, baby swiss, butter, garlic butter and cheddar powder. And soooo much more to choose from. Sausages too. We even got to watch butter being processed. This is a must stop for us on our trips to Manitowoc.

We have stopped several times at Manitowoc Coffee and have never been disappointed. Their sandwiches are large, the cafe au lait that I order has good balance and they always have a tempting assortment of baked items. There's plenty of room to spread out, but we usually head to tables by the front window that overlook the main street. The coffee shop is within walking distance of the Maritime Museum and next door to a wonderful gift shop. We've always received a warm welcome from staff.

As titled, I visited the Courthouse in Manitowac for lunch and ordered the meatloaf. Oh my...an abundance of quality food with careful attention to presentation. Crispy onion strings on top of medium-well meatloaf atop a bed of mashed potatoes. It came with a special sauce that was simply delicious. Craft beers and wine are featured here. Unfortunately, I am frugal and addicted to coffee. Their coffee was very good as well.
6. Cedar Crest Ice Cream parlor

Reviewed By Mark C - Osseo, Wisconsin
We stopped here on a hot day and it was a little crowded, but otherwise this place was great. If I had a complaint at all, it would be that the big menu board where you enter, has all the "cute" names for the flavors but no descriptions, you have to go in and read the tags on the ice cream case to find out what makes up, for example. Superman, or Snowflake (those are close but may not be totally accurate). However, once you choose a flavor from the variety of quite unique combinations or some great old standbys, you're in for some really good ice cream. My wife went with Maple Nut as that's her favorite, I had what I think was called Snowflake, it's white pistachio ice cream with white chocolate covered toasted almonds and white chocolate chunks. Both were fantastic, and we each went with cookie cones which were above average. The prices at first looked a little high, but the serving sizes were large and considering the quality, they were very reasonable. Even though very busy, the staff was pleasant and helpful. This is now on my list of can't-miss when in the area.

The owner, Jenn was horribly rude. The coffee was mediocre and the desserts and muffins were dry. We've been here before with the same results. We decided to give them one more chance. Don't waste your time here. There is another coffee house close with better service and product!
8. Wrap It Up

Reviewed By Brooklynn B - Fort Myers, Florida
The counter service was good. Our food was delivered to our table. The staff was very pleasant. We had a wrap and a panini. Both were excellent! We also had the chips and salsa. I would highly recommend both. Decent prices.
The restaurant was clean, except for the bathroom. There is only one bathroom for men and women, which is fine for such a small place. The floors and floorboards were gross. It looked like they hadn't been cleaned in years. There was no toilet paper holder. You have to pick up the toilet paper to use it. Think about it. How many people wipe and then touch the toilet paper roll. Gross. Very unsanitary. The cleanliness of the bathroom is a reflection of the entire business. I would have given Wrap it Up a 5, if the bathroom was sparkling.

We serve sandwiches, salads, pizzas and pasta made from the freshest ingredients, in a quaint deli setting. Our staff is always ready to create the perfect item to satisfy your taste buds!
Reviewed By nancyrandolph - Manitowoc, Wisconsin
The meatballs were old and dry with very little sauce and the green peppers were raw. Far worse than a fast food place like subway! Very disappointed but luckily I bought a bowtie pasta salad to go along with it and could only eat 2 of the bowties as they were old and hard and tasteless. Not sure why someone is not checking the quality and freshness of what is being served but it's very disappointing.

We were on our way to Door County and my son picked this place for us to eat. We ordered the pizza and it was very tasty. We did not wait abnormally long, we were waited on right away, and our waitress gave us great service. Our family of 5 ate for $32 plus tip. This restaurant is west of I-43, but it was worth the short trip to get there.
