The Filling Station

"What a fun place! My husband and I stopped in today to get a hot coffee...and ended up with delicious ice cream instead. We enjoyed chatting with the owner (and accidentally kept her past closing --sorry, Kim!), and hearing some of her stories. There is a BIG menu of coffees, sodas, sandwiches, and ice cream, so we'll definitely be back to try some more good stuff. Is tomorrow too soon to go?"

"My husband and I ordered panini sandwiches and they were great! Cute coffee shop with a variety of items for sale. We also picked up a homemade bread mix. We will be back again!"

"We were very glad to come across this place on our way to Copper Falls. The food and ice cream was really good, and the employees very easy going and kind. Our only regret was it was closed Monday on our way home. We will definitely stop in again the next time we are in the area!"

"Adorable little shop along hwy 13. It has a walk up order window or you can go inside and they offer some cute Butternut clothing items and gifts. They offer ice cream in cones, malts, or sundaes and for a something a little more substantial, they have hot dogs and nachos. They also offer cute tables both indoor and outside."

"My paddling and fishing group was looking for some ice cream after AJ's Bar and Dining in Park Falls informed us that they had no desserts. We asked for a recommendation, and our waitress suggested Butternut Ice Cream and Treats in Butternut, WI. Thank heavens they had a listing on Google Maps! This is the cutest little ice cream shop you can imagine. From the homey decor to the friendly girl behind the counter, we were blown away by this fun little place. I had the zanzibar dark chocolate - two scoops in one of their made-on-site waffle cones for $3.50. As soon as we walked in, we could smell those cones! One of my paddling partners had the peanut butter cup ice cream, which he said was delicious. My cone was excellent, with a little baby marshmallow plugging the bottom of the cone as an anti-drip device. We enjoyed our ice cream out on their covered front porch area. The delight in the eyes of a little girl that was finishing her ice cream with her mother was great. This place also has reasonably priced hot dogs, sandwiches, beverages, and other snacks for sale. The description on their Cuban sandwich looked particularly good. If we hadn't already gorged ourselves on prime rib, potatoes, and the salad bar at AJ's, we would have ordered some hot dogs or sandwiches. I'll update my review the next time I paddle the Flambeau River."
