This isn't your typical ice cream shop per se. Yes it serves ice cream made fresh. It has flavors of the day. You can get cones and dishes. You can even get sorbet. But that's where the similarities stop.
At Purple Door, they carry 31 different flavors a day like Baskin Robbins but theirs are more unique. And if you can't decide between Whiskey Sour and Brandy Old Fashion (yes, those are real flavors), you can always get a flight of ice cream. A flight of ice cream is 4 scoops of any flavors you choose. The flight is great if you are with a group of people and want to try different flavors.
We got a flight. It cost Stacy and I $3 each. Totally worth it for 4 scoops of ice cream. Stacy said I could pick since she will eat anything. I decided not to go with anything I could normally get such as chunky peanut butter or dark chocolate. After a few sample tastes, I decided on Cinnamon Roll, Brandy Old Fashion, Grame Marsal (or something like that), and Lemon Cardamon.
Our favorite was Brandy Old Fashion which if you didn't know you were eating ice cream, one could swear they had one in their hand. A close second was Cinnamon Roll which tasted just like a cinnamon roll right out of the oven complete with the icing. Lemon Cardamon wasn't bad. We both could take or leave Grame Marsal. It was good but the Whiskey Sour probably would have been better.
If I'm ever downtown Milwaukee again, I believe another trip to Purple Door is in order.
