Door County Creamery is a family-owned goat farm, dairy, and creamery located in Door County, Wisconsin. They make handcrafted cheeses as well as fresh gelato using the freshest possible goat milk. The creamery offers Farm Lunch Tours where visitors can learn about the farm and production process while sampling some of their delicious products.
We tried three different kinds of gelato and loved them all. They also have a small shop with local cheeses and gifts as well as sandwiches.

Fantastic ice cream made from goats milk. No lactose in goats milk which is great for the lactose intolerant people like myself 😀; lots of other goat milks products like cheese and soap

Love this place, all the seating is outdoors but it’s in the heart of Sister Bay! I recommend the mozzarella sandwich and their Arnold Palmer. Browse while you wait for your food (or they’ll text you), the shop is really cute!

Hot Honey...seriously one of the very best gourmet sandwiches I've ever eaten!! Thai salad absolutely scrumptious as well! House made Arnold Palmer very flavorful. Roasted Almond Fig gelato ~ delicious! Creative, high quality choices all around. A++

When at sisters Bay you have to eat at Door County Creamery. They don't have too many selection of ice creams but the flavors they have taste great. We had Various ice creams but really liked Door County Cheery and Ultimate Oreo. However if you can have just one then you have get Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. This is the best flavor they have.

We LOVE the Creamery and have been coming since they opened. We always get gelato and the mozzarella sandwich.

My favorite lunch spot in Door County, by far. They do everything well: fresh ingredients, interesting menu, great vibe, friendly staff, terrific music. The outdoor tables are under a canopy of leaves and have fresh flowers. They care about their customers, and that’s why they get my business each summer.

Very cute shop with fantastic food. The brie turkey sandwich was the best turkey sandwich I've had in my life (my picture does not do it justice) I had to come back later and had the mozzarella - also very good. They have a small but very good selection of gelato, in case you haven't had it: good gelato >> ice cream. We got two larges and that was enough for a family of five to share. It seems expensive but in my opinion it's totally worth it for how delicious the food was. We will be coming back. Skip the roof goats and come here.

Charcuterie Board from the Door County Creamery for our Packer Tailgate!!! Awesome place. Great cheeses, spreads and cookies.
Brian Fassbender — Google review
I arrived hungry so didn’t get the gelato but got the fall Caesar salad which was, I kid you not, one of the top two salads I’ve had in my life. The salad was huge (which we were told) so we split it between 2-4 of us and it was outstanding. I’d come back again just for that salad. Top notch. Well done Door Country Creamery!

We took the farm tour with our almost 2-yr-old (who is pretty chill, I don't know that we would have liked it with a more active/mover/runner kid) and had the best time. Only regret is that we didn't have more cash on us to tip the tour guide, so stop at an atm on your way. The farm is a quick few minute shuttle ride from the store/creamery and we had the best gelato on the way. The farm is gorgeous. The person who gave the tour does the milking and was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all aspects of the animal raising and cheese making. The goats are friendly definitely one of the cleaner farm animals. After the tour, but still on the farm, we tasted the best cheeses I've ever had (which is A LOT of fancy cheese). Then back at the restaurant we had an absolutely delicious elegant lunch. We were given a 10% coupon on any purchases, so I stocked up on their own cheeses (you can try them all at the store and the chevre freezes well), crackers, cookies (holy yum), a cookbook, goat's milk caramel, and gifts. If you like goats and cheese, do it. If you don't have time for the tour, at least go for food, cheese, and gelato. You will not be disappointed.

We needed a quick lunch as we had our pup with us and this fit the bill. We were pleased to see the assortment of sandwiches and soups offered, what we weren’t prepared for was the quality. My gosh, these were gourmet quality. I opted for the Triple Brie turkey sandwich and my hubby got the jalapeño popper grilled cheese of sorts. They were mouth watering good. We knew we had dessert waiting and overate anyway because it was too good to put down. Just stellar. I can’t think of a single way to improve them. The sauces, the additions, the breads, the attention to detail were all spot on.

Fun little shop. Awesome that it is open late. We went for the ice cream/gelato ( never specificed) late at night. However, some big draw backs. Our group found every flavor either off putting or way to intense. Zero nuance to any of the flavors. I landed on the raspberry panncotta which was good(very intense raspberry but I love raspberries) and creamy. The salt and olive oil tasted like butter and extra salt. Also it was icy and not creamy. The caramel was so sweet it was inedible. We threw out a full Carmel one because no one in the group could stomach it. The coffee tasted like eating coffee grounds with it's bitterness. When the ice cream server grabbed spoons, she reached in an grab a huge handle after touch other things and not washing hands. Also everything is made in china. However the wine points above the bottles is a nice touch. Fyi, it's all goat milk in their ice cream so it you don't like goat milk, be warned.

I never miss a chance to eat at The Creamery. The Goat and honey motifs are charming and homey, and everything is done with a level of sophistication. The gelato is only one draw. The cheeses are amazing!
Cecile Lindell — Google review
We grabbed take-out lunch here and got a burrata salad, green veggie wrap and a lamb gyro. The burrata salad and lamb gyro were great, the green wrap was so-so. We also got gelato here, which was amazing! You can try a sample before ordering. Service was quick. They also sell lots of different types of cheeses and condiments. This is a great place to stop if you’re in Door County.

My brother and I were in town for the Door County Century bike ride. Every flavor I sampled was very good, but lemon cookie was unbelievably good. Whenever I buy a size that allows for multiple flavors, I always *get* multiple flavors, but the lemon cookie was so good that I only choose that one. Came back the next day to bring home a pint. The gift shop had some cute stuff, too. I bought something for my partner. We went here after eating at Al Johnson's for breakfast. There was plenty of seating outside. The employees were very patient to let us try numerous flavors. Also the servings were generously overflowing, as you can see from my photo. Will definitely return if I'm town again.

My happy place! I’ve been going to Door County Creamery for years. I loved it when they opened and it just keeps getting better. The mozzarella sandwich is perfect balanced and delicious. The gelato is creamy and flavorful. They’ve got a great little shop, too.

I've had ice cream here before but never eaten. I had the meatball sandwich and it was awesome. Toasted bun/bread, fresh jalapeno, lettuce, cheese and a great Pesto, Aioli, Arugula sauce. Meatballs had a light amount of marinara so it wasn't overpowering. Not at all what you'd expect with a meatball sandwich but it was awesome! So good.

For travellers who want some old-fashioned hospitality and country-style rooms, Roots Inn & Kitchen is the place to go. The inn is located in Sister Bay, which is also on the National Register of Historic Places. There are many delicious items on the breakfast menu, including bratwurst and vegan food.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Inn; charming, clean, delicious complimentary drink (Eugene Stout!), delicious breakfast! Delightful Inn Keepers. Backpacker room is small and sweet. Stairs a bit narrow and steep but manageable! We recommend and look forward to our next visit.

My wife and I LOVED our stay here!! Even as non vegans, they were able to provide meals that were absolutely delicious!! Just tell them your likes/dislikes/allergies and let them surprise you. The rooms are quaint, comfortable, and clean. Extremely friendly people and very accommodating!! Great location right in the heart of Sister Bay. They even helped us find a ride to Sturgeon Bay when my car needed to be towed!! Thanks guys, we'll be back!!

We had a great stay! Collin and Sara are really friendly and took the time to know us. The inn has a cozy atmosphere and made it easy to meet other travelers and just relax. Outstanding food at breakfast.
Joseph Kempf — Google review
We stayed there in June for 3 nights. The breakfast out on the lovely patio was my favorite part. The room was comfortable if a little small, but that makes sense for a historic building. The decor on the ground floor of the inn was cute. The owners had good suggestions for activities around Door County.
Liana Hershey-Nexon — Google review
My wife and I travel to Door County a couple times/year and Roots Inn and Kitchen is by far the best place we've stayed! The rooms are very clean and a unique hot breakfast is included each morning. Our only regret was not eating lunch here also, but will be sure to during our next stay! Roots is located in Sister Bay, the heart of Door County and central to most activities. Owners Collin and Sara are great. They spend time getting to know you and provide recommendations for activities and other food/drink options around Door County. Thanks for a great weekend!
Bryce Miles — Google review
I couldn’t believe I had never heard of Roots with all the years I’ve been coming up to the Door. The B&B is so cute and cozy & the location is clutch! We only had the complementary breakfasts since we were guests but we definitely want to come back to try everything on the lunch menu. Everything we ate was delicious, fresh and local. Colin and Sarah have a great thing going, you gotta check it out!
Emily Schroeder — Google review
What a wonderful restaurant! I went for lunch and got the loaded brat, which was Pad Thai themed (it changes regularly!). It was incredible! The server was awesome and the atmosphere was relaxing. Definitely recommend checking this place out for lunch! The one downside is that they didn't have paper menus and I didn't have cell service so I had to get up to see the menu - not a huge deal for me, but something to keep in mind!
Erica Hill — Google review
We were blown away by our stay! We were impressed by the attention to detail - from the decor/amenities, to asking us about any dietary restrictions, to the breakfast quality (it was a plus that the ingredients are locally sourced). Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Not to mention the location was ideal for walking to explore all that Sister Bay has to offer. Close enough to explore, but still within a quiet area for a restful sleep. Just perfect.

Spent 2 nights at this place and loved it!!!! Just the cutest little place!!!The owner’s are so nice and very informative of the area. By the way you meet them both at breakfast as they are your severs too. They do it all. Definitely gonna go back again. Oh forgot to mention the breakfast OHHHHH YUM!!!!!!!!! Definitely not the run of your mill breakfast. All ingredients are local and fresh. Breakfast was different each day. Never had short stack taste so good with corn and onion greens and syrup the flavors together were outstanding. Savory. And the next morning the onion Bagel, fried egg, (I think) tomato and pea tops greens, I believe they are called and bacon on top of all that. Oh my goodness that was go good!! Thank you soooo very much!!! We will be back for sure.

My friend and I stayed here during our trip to door county. Everything about this place is amazing from hospitality to food to rooms. They have a variety of vegan options. Colin and Sara are extremely accommodating and great at recommending good spots for hiking, swimming, and just touring overall. Which totally made our trip better. If I could give this place >5 stars I would, and the next time we visit door county this will be our go to spot

What an awesome hidden gem just off the main drag of Sister Bay. A must stop for a great lunch, and don’t forget about their amazing in! But if you can’t book a room, then support by swinging by for a drink and their amazing menu. A wonderful patio awaits you surrounded by pine and apple trees. Not only is this hidden gem a delicious place to eat, it is women owned and she is truly involved in every aspect of your experience. A wonderful must stop in Door County.

We first visited the restaurant and bar multiple times before booking a stay at the B&B. Wow what a great experience. Colin and the entire team were so personable each time we came in and during our stay. Incredible attention to detail. Amazing atmosphere, fantastic food, and great drink selection in both alcohol and a whole NA list as well. Each year we look forward to coming back. And if they have the cauliflower wings on the menu when you’re there you’ve gotta get them! So good!!!!!!

My girlfriend and I came to visit from MKE and had a great time! Colin and Sarah are fully invested in providing the best experience for their visitors. Rooms and common areas are well kept and you wake up to the best breakfast in Door County each morning! We stayed in the Backpacker room, which was a bit on the snug side and when coming back I would pay a few more bucks to stay in a larger room. Overall, a great place and will stay here anytime I visit Door County in the future!

Decided to choose the Roots Inn in Sister Bay, Door County for my 45th birthday location and I’m sure glad I did. They had a very easy check in process, we were greeted and handed the keys to our room, given a specifics about our room and the property and told that breakfast will be served promptly at 8:30-9:30 am the following morning. I truly enjoyed the property and the decor, it is a historic site so that was very interesting to get to experience staying in a piece a property that had been renovated that is a part of the history of the town. We were able to drink anything out of the refrigerator which included water soda and an assortment of alcoholic beverages. We decided to sit on the screened in porch and play some cards while enjoying a beverage before we headed out for dinner at LURE, a nice seafood and steak place just two blocks away from the BNB, so convenient!!! The morning after, we arrived for breakfast, we were served a squash and zucchini bake with breakfast potatoes and heirloom tomatoes vegan Parmesan with some kind of herb lemon dressing topped with a fried egg, on the side there were sliced apples and pears for palate cleansing. I was very impressed and I look forward to visiting them again in the future.

This delightful Inn & Kitchen is the best version of a bed & breakfast I've encountered!! The rooms are adorable (even better in person) and comfortable, including the mattress and pillows. The common areas are quaint but totally cozy. They have complimentary cold beverages (or hot). And the breakfast is completely scrumptious! Not to mention, they take note of any dietary needs... I mean, really? Sara and Colin have truly thought of everything. Plus, they're a joy to talk with and have all the best reccomendations. I say, do not pass up on this home away from home.

Wow. First time eating here and we were blown away. Great ambiance…rustic, comfortable, welcoming…the minute you walk in, you feel just good. The game was on, which was 👍🏼. Great menu. Everything we ordered was delicious. Will absolutely come back. ((Fantastic vegan options- where you have to be told it’s vegan or you wouldnt know it!!)) and great gluten free options as well!!

Trixie's is a relaxed, local restaurant that specializes in seasonal fare and wines from female winemakers. The atmosphere is trendy and minimalist, perfect for accenting the tasty food. The staff is always available to help choose the right wine for your meal.
By far one of the best meals my wife and I have ever had! So much so, we went two nights in a row on our most recent trip to Door County. The staff is so friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is perfect for a romantic date night. The food, my god, the food! We shared the Gnocchi de jours which turned out to immediately jump to my top dishes ever list! The panko crusted whitefish was perfect for my main course. My wife ordered the Chicken Parmesan and was wowed at the fresh take on an old classic. If you’re In Door County and don’t eat at Trixie’s, shame on you ;)

This place is the best restaurant in Door County! We’ve visited twice now, and always received top notch, friendly staff and amazing food. When you’re in town or live locally, this is one place you really need to go to hands down. Everyone needs to experience the food they’re putting out. We’ve personally met the chef Cooper, and Em. Owen from the front of the house, and Kayla the bartender. Everyone was very personable, and does an outstanding job. This place is a staple for our Door County visits! We love the atmosphere and diverse, creative dishes.
Kelsey Meyers — Google review
Outrageous! Such an incredibly delicious meal. Gillian, our server, was positively amazing - so attentive, informative and kind. This was our first time here, but based on this experience, it’s already become a favorite. For best seating, arrive about 4:15 or 4:30, enjoy a drink at one of the neighboring businesses, and keep an eye on the front door. When you see a line beginning to form, head on over and your almost guaranteed a place for the 5:00 seating. Otherwise, you’ll be added to a wait list for the 6:30 or 8:00 seatings. Either way, it’s well worth the wait! Highly recommend!

What a Great LITTLE find. Very small dinning room. Nice wine bar, eclectic menu, VERY well done. Trixie's does not take reservations so you just go early and stand in line to see if you get in for the 1st seating. If you don't make the cut don't worry, get on the list and go have a glass of wine down the street they will text you when your table is ready. Atmosphere, service and food is great.

This was our second time coming here, and each time we are blown away at the food and service. Food is creative, yet simple. They also have a small patio out front to enjoy a beautiful Door County evening. The restaurant fills up quickly, and does not take reservations, but it is without question worth the wait!

Food was amazing. My wife and I had the Citrus and Bitters Salad, Gnocci De Jour, Whitefish Fettuccine, and Mushrooms. Bridgette, our server was great. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Wickman and Trixies are must stops to anyone visiting DoCo.
Evan — Google review
Dinning at Trixie’s has far exceeded our expectations. First of all, the food is exceptional. Definitely, the best in all of Door County. Although everything was great, I highly recommend the Chicken confit 🤤. I want to also recognize the amazing service we received from the front and the back of the house. Kayla, our bartender/server was very knowledgeable, hospitable, and took great care of us. Also, Cooper and Em from the kitchen staff worked so cohesively together, creating perfectly balanced, delicious dishes, but also being super friendly and hospitable (working in such a small place!) My Fiancé and I have been to Michelin Starred restaurants all over the world, and I truly believe this gem deserves a star based on the food and service we received. It’s a small restaurant with limited seating, so I highly recommend going early. We got there around 6:30, and was one of the last reservations put on the list for the night because of the high demand. It was an amazing experience and we can’t wait to return!
Logan McLenahan — Google review
A Door County delight in Ephraim. We shared the saganaki, green gazpacho, battered green onions, couscous, and the pasta of the day which was a ricotta gnocchi with fennel sausage crumble. The tempura battered green onions were my favourite of the meal. Perfectly crisp and seasoned and a hefty portion; incredible. Small plates and impressively researched and sourced wines make for a wonderful experience. They don’t take reservations so it’s vital to arrive well before opening if you wish to dine in the first seating at 5 pm as we did.
Stephanie Lovell — Google review
Dinner was phenomenal. We got lucky and got seats outside right away (a major plus that they had patio warmers out!). I got the Chicken Confit and my fiancé got the Gnocchi du Jour. Both were absolutely delicious and the wait staff was incredible. We will definitely be back to try the other dishes!

Everything was amazing! I definitely recommend the poutine crusted mushrooms and the Braised Short Rib. They also had complimentary bread (with oil) which is always amazing! Definitely recommend it!

The mushrooms dish was so good (pictured below). Loved the chicken dish too. Def not a place to bring kids but I did bring my daughter (had no other option). Sitting outside was doable with her. Wouldn’t have eaten inside with her. They were very accommodating and she loved the buttered gnocchi they made her. Can’t wait to come back! Hopefully, sans child.

The Ephraim Coffee Lab is a great spot for coffee connoisseurs to get their fix. They use an Italian espresso machine to create some of the best drinks in town, and there are plenty of delicious brunch options to choose from. It's a great place to catch up with friends, and it's also easy to order and pickup your coffee online.
Really enjoyed stopping by yesterday! The barista was super friendly to chat with and had great drink recommendations, plus the cappuccino she made was phenomenal! Definitely will stop by again when I'm in town!

So often you can't find good coffee when vacationing in small tourist towns. Just another great thing about door county is there's not only good coffee, but something to look forward to! Super efficient online ordering/pickup process during covid. But whenever it's possible, definitely go inside. The bar is a nice cozy spot to enjoy a cup.

From one roaster to another, thanks for a great cup of coffee. We had a pour over and it was delicious. Dosed perfect, balanced, bright, fruity cup of Costa Rica. You can tell this coffee was well roasted. It’s so refreshing to get a cup like this on our travels. Well done!!!
Bruce Peacock — Google review
I never write reviews but thought this place should be called out. I paid $5.50 for this tiny sip of a latte that is barely the size of my hand. The online ordering system also doesn’t allow any customization and you can’t interact with the worker, even through the pick up window to give alternate instructions. As expected, my latte was way too sweet because I wouldn’t tell them to add less sugar.
Linhda Nguyen — Google review
Ephraim Coffee Lab may seem a bit hard to find. Located off Church Street in Ephraimin a nondescript white building next to so many other white buildings. It is well worth a visit to this little coffee shop...lab. most of the store is taken up by roasting equipment and not much space to sit, if it's busy, but grab a cup of joe to go and it'll be well worth it! I recommend a pour over or perhaps a smooth cold brew, but anything you order here will be worth it for a coffee lover!

Wilson's Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlor is a nostalgic soda fountain in Ephriam, WI serving up delicious ice cream, house-brewed root beer and burgers. There's also a patio for seating and a throwback feel to the restaurant.
My wife and I have been trying to come to Wilson's for 3 years and something always happens where we can't. We finally made it and weren't disappointed. They get extremely busy so be ready to wait. But they have a very easy setup when it comes to ordering. It's smooth sailing the entire process. The service was great and everyone was really nice. Wilson's is right on the water so the views while eating ice cream. Definitely a good place to stop.

This was a fun place to stop for dinner. We didn’t have to wait at all for a table outside. We had plenty of space. The food was good but not amazing. The Root beer on the other hand was delicious. I thought the fries were pretty good. We saw lots of people coming and going to order ice cream. If we go back we’d probably just get ice cream and try food from somewhere else.

Great old time restaurant. Burgers are good, staff is friendly, and the ice cream and root beer is amazing! We really enjoy this place and the atmosphere it provides. They are Family friendly.

Very busy but awesome location. Just the place for a quick hotdog and some golden onion rings. Got them to go and the service was fast. A bit too crowded for my taste, but there was a free concert in the park next door, so maybe that was the reason. Food was very tasty and they packed all the right condiments for the meal. Family friendly place with a beautiful jukebox and a view to die for.

Wilson's is our favorite stop when going to Door County. The food is amazing. Atmosphere is 1950's diner. The town is picturesque right on the bay. Go to food. I would suggest to try a Cherry milkshake or any of the ice cream dishes! Try a Wilson's 1906 Home-Brewed root beer in a frosted mug or a Cherry Phosphate! Burgers are amazing same for the Door County Whitefish Sandwich. Everything is great you can't go wrong with this stop.

Great quality and quantity. The workers are astute and friendly college students. Be sure to walk up and get a ticket if you'd like takeout (there are great places to sit nearby along the lake sidewalk). They'll let you know the approximate wait time, which I've found to be accurate. I had to wait 20 minutes because it was so busy. You can be seated inside and wait for your ice cream too but I've never done that. The ownership has changed families a few times, but the quality has been perfect every time I visited.

I've gone to this establishment since I was a kid.... Some of my favorite memories are inside/out front of the restaurant. Not to mention, it's along the Green Bay lake, which is such a beautiful lake! (Especially to watch sunsets on) I was legitimately the last order of the season for Wilson's this year. Their root beer float made me feel like I won something! Thank YOU to ALL the staff for your continuous effort to keep this amazing place the same as it was when it opened. ❤️

We went to door county to enjoy a great day. We had in mind to stop at a few local restaurants. Wilson’s had the most open hours which helps a lot. The staff consists mostly of college students from all over the USA. The ice cream and root beer floats were amazing. They also have an atm since cash purchases save about 3 %.

We've been coming to Wilson's for ice cream for years. This year did not disappoint! The sweet girl we had helping us made us the biggest cones we have ever seen! The kids could barely finish all of their single scoops! The raspberry lemon sorbet was absolutely delicious as well as all the other flavors we tried. The young girl helping us did so great remembering 11 scoops of varying flavors that we ordered. I like how they started using numbers to call out who was next to order. Also they had a QR code on the sign outside to scan and get your flavor choices so you were ready when your number was called!

Excellent food, service, surroundings, and treats! Yes, the table side Wall-O-Matics really do play a song of your choosing (for $0.25). This is commonly a very busy restaurant, so bring your appetite and patience. The servers are friendly and fast. Parking can be difficult due to the establishment being close to the water. A good option is to park a bit further and walk a few blocks. Enjoyable views!
