About Us
a Milwaukee Landmark
Over the years, Kopp’s Frozen Custard has established a reputation as the go-to burger and custard joint in the Milwaukee area. We’re known for serving up delicious, nostalgic foods with an uncompromising standard for quality that our competitors continue to chase. Whether it’s our handmade frozen custard or our famous “jumbo” burgers, Kopp’s has set itself apart by crafting incredible food with the best ingredients available—all served with a side of Milwaukee history.
Originator of the “Flavor of the Day”
Kopp’s was the first custard stand to offer a special “Flavor of the Day” in addition to the more traditional flavors like chocolate and vanilla. That tradition continues to this day, and we often create favors to celebrate holidays, events, and goings-on for that day or month. Never miss a favorite flavor of the day by downloading the Flavor Alerts app or by checking out the Flavor Preview.
A Storied History Dating Back 70+ Years
Founded by Elsa Kopp in 1950, Kopp’s restaurants continue to be heralded by local food publications for the quality ingredients and classic-yet-quirky vibes. The first Kopp’s Frozen Custard stand quickly rose in popularity during the 1950s and soon became a Milwaukee staple. By 1960, the Kopp’s stand was successful enough that Elsa felt compelled to experiment with more unique and unusual frozen custard recipes, many of which are still around today.
